Funky Backpackers Hostel

Funky Backpackers Hostel is a nice, quaint place to stay while you are in Granada.

The Location

The hostel is located in the heart of Granada. It's a twenty-minute hike up the hill to the Alhambra palace, a couple of minutes away from the tapas bars, and easily accessible by the bus. The hostel is tucked away in a small, narrow cobbled backstreet that has its own charm.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel is well maintained and clean. Rooms contain four to six beds and have shared facilities like bathroom. A nice touch is the provision of electronic lockers in every room that you can use free of charge to store your valuables -- very handy indeed.

Common Spaces

There is a kitchen with fridge that you can use to prepare your own meals and store food. But the most fun part of the hostel is the terrace bar/cafe/restaurant. It offers a breathtaking view of the city, the cathedral, and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Having breakfast at the crack of dawn and sipping coffee while watching the sun rise behind the peaks of the Sierra Nevada is a sight to behold.

Summary

Overall, our stay at the hostel was very pleasant indeed. The well maintained rooms; helpful, friendly staff; and the ambient atmosphere make it a fun place to stay.
