HI - Granada - Instalación Juvenil Hostel

Great hostel (not so great staff)
We arrived unannounced in the middle of the night and luckily found a room at this hostel and were able to check in with no problem in the early hours which was great! Perfect location, walkable from the centre, or there was a bus which was cheap and fast. The room came with its own bathroom including shower, the whole room seemed very clean and smelt fresh. The only thing I would mention is that the beds were quite hard, but I had no trouble sleeping. The breakfast buffet was great, all you can eat, if you can eat enough before it shuts! We turned up a little late and unfortunately only managed to nab a few leftovers before they cleared it away, but that's more our fault I suppose. Evening meal was cheap and very tasty. The main thing that let this hostel down was the staff! Not many seemed to speak english very well, it was lucky we had a spanish speaker with us. Staff were very abrupt and not cheerful at all (kitchen staff included), very reluctant to smile no matter how hard we tried to crack jokes. Pity! Otherwise, an enjoyable stay!

The hostel is outside the city but there is a bus and it is cheap. The personnel are not friendly; they speak English but didn't like to help us. The meals were good and the rooms too. At the hostel there is a football stadium but you should bring a ball!

This is a really good hostel. Perhaps the worst thing about it is its distance to the city center, but the hostel has a bus stop nearby. Remember you need a Hostelling International (HI) membership card to stay here, but you can buy it in the hostel if you don't have one.

The bus was very quick from the bus station. The hostel is quite clean and the mattress are not so bad. There is no air conditioning or fans.
