Map & live prices by our partner
For the core question—what to expect from hostels in Granada—the good news is that value is strong. You can find highly rated stays for as little as €9–€14, like Pension Duquesa Bed & Breakfast or The Central House Granada Elvira. Around €16, options like Black Swan Hostel Granada, Broz Hostel, and El Granado Hostel offer social atmospheres, rooftop terraces, and central locations. For a bit more, Oripando Hostel at €24 adds a courtyard pool and top ratings (9.3).
The cheapest option on this page is Pension Duquesa Bed & Breakfast, with prices from €9 per night. Other budget-friendly picks include Toc Hostel Granada from €10 and Lemon Rock Hostel from €11.
For a first visit, the old town—around Calle Elvira, Plaza Nueva, and the cathedral—is ideal. Many hostels are here, including Eco Hostel, 4U Hostel, and Nut Hostel, putting you within walking distance of the Alhambra, Albaicín, and main sights.
Oripando Hostel has the highest rating on this page at 9.3, with 1,565 reviews. Other top-rated options include Granada Old Town Hostel and The Central House Granada Elvira, both rated 9.0.
Yes. Several hostels offer private rooms, including The Central House Granada Elvira, which has both dorms and privates. Some properties like Residencia Universitaria Resa Emperador Carlos V focus on apartment-style rooms, and Amc Granada Hostal offers a more traditional guesthouse feel with private rooms.
Granada's hostel scene is as layered as the city itself. Most cluster in the old town—around Calle Elvira, Plaza Nueva, and the Albaicín—putting the Alhambra, cathedral, and tapas bars within an easy walk. You'll find sociable rooftops with Alhambra views, courtyard pools hidden behind historic facades, and a handful of quieter stays near the university. The line between hostel and guest house blurs here: several properties listed on this page are technically hotels or B&Bs but operate with the same shared-kitchen, common-room spirit.
At the budget end, dorm beds start around €10–€16, and you can still get a highly rated stay for under €20. At the upper end, you're paying for more private space or extra amenities—some places reach €170 a night for a private room, though most stay well below that. For solo travelers, the social hostels with organized dinners and walking tours are the draw; for couples or those wanting calm, student residences and adults-only options offer a quieter base.
This set suits travelers who want to be in the heart of Granada's old town without the cost of a hotel—social backpackers will love the family dinners at Black Swan Hostel or the music at Lemon Rock, while couples or those wanting calm can pick the adults-only Oh! My Hostel or the student residence Resa. If you need a hotel with parking, a spa, or a more romantic or family-focused stay, check out the dedicated pages for those specific needs.
