ECO Hostel - Granada

N V.

I stayed at ECO Hostel because the reviews mentioned it was both social and a good place to get some work done. And that turned out to be true! They organize a family dinner every evening for €10 with different dishes each time, and there’s almost always free sangria on the fourth floor (where you also get a great view of the city). The ground floor and the back stairway are beautifully decorated. A small detail, but one I really appreciated.

I’d definitely recommend adding breakfast for €4.50, since you get a proper barista coffee and several options to choose from like bread with hummus, eggs, or yogurt with chocolate muesli.

For my fellow digital nomads: the Wi-Fi wasn’t always perfectly stable, which made meetings a bit tricky. But outside of that it worked fine.

Most of the staff were really friendly, especially the English guy and the slightly older woman. Unfortunately there was one girl who seemed unhappy to be there, and several guests mentioned the same thing: if you didn’t speak Spanish, she could be quite short or rude. I had a similar experience myself.

I stayed in a 6-bed dorm with capsule-style bunks, which was great if you get a bottom bed, but just a heads-up: the top ones are really high!

Even with those small things, I’d still give this hostel 5 stars mainly for the free sangria and the fun atmosphere!

A super eco-cool stay in Granada — the whole place gives off pure eco-energy the moment you walk in. The lounge room was great for chilling, very eco-easy vibes all around. The mattress, though… definitely eco-no for me. But the showers? Eco-excellent — hot, clean, and exactly what you need after a long day. Overall, a fun spot with tons of character, just needs an eco-upgrade on the bed.

The eco washroom also 5 stars and the free eco sangrias were amazing.

One of the best hostel i’ve been! The rooms are nice, position in the city is perfect, nice location. The hostel organize events and has a bar and common areas with a kind and helpful staff. The price is fair. You can reach easily the Cathedral and the Station on foot and the Alhambra via bus or on foot.

What a great place. The vibes are immaculate - beautiful art of all kinds, chill spaces. The staff were awesome - we enjoyed talking to all of them, watching them do their co-working thing. Socially, they plan little happy hours (a free Sangria), community dinners, activities. Seemed like a great way for the mostly-young and very global crew to spend some time in fantastic Granada. Good coffee, good breakfast options (for Spain).

We are Gen Xers with a teenager and it was great for all of us. The rooms are clean and comfy. The location is also excellent, right on the Gran Via, walkable to everything, much more open than the denser Albaicín and all the wonderfulness higher up. Easy parking a few blocks away if you need that, lots of taxis up and down the Gran Via. Highly recommended.

Everything functions as expected. The room was spacious and quiet, with a comfortable bed, clean shower and bath, and a well-designed common area. The café bar downstairs offers drinks and breakfast, adding convenience and atmosphere. The overall style is modern and tasteful—among the best hostels I’ve experienced. I appreciated the complimentary upgrade to a four-person dorm.
The only drawback was the mattress: too soft and prone to sinking, which may affect sleep quality for some.

Valentina was our guide for our walking tour and she was so amazing! Very nice and welcoming, and she was always fun to stop and talk with in the hostel :). Overall a wonderful experience with very friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere.

I absolutely would recommend the ECO Hostel for anyone traveling solo. I stayed in the dorms with cabin beds, which gave me a little bit more privacy. It was one of my first hostel experiences and it really broke the ice for me. Shout out to the lovely volunteers - Meg, Marguerite, Nelli, Hana and all the others - who bring the atmosphere together so well, also the dinners that they make are delicious😋.
I had breakfast included which was pretty good as well.

We love this place! We are older than typical guests one imagines for hostel, but strikes the perfect balance on all the dimensions that we care about. Clean, friendly, easy to use, great location, super interesting vibe!!
