Amaka House Granada

A decent hostel that is in a good location within the old city. Walking distance to many attractions. A pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Whilst there are positive things to mention, unfortunately the price of the hostel was high when considering that there was no hot water, and the cleanliness of some areas could be improved (i.e. fridge is left to fester). The staff were friendly and helpful, however there were large periods of time that they were not onsite/available (were contactable by phone).

I stayed for a night in November. It was cold at night and the heating was not working. Blanket given was insufficient. No hot water either. In the kitchen, tried to boil water but took over 30 minutes as burners go on and off. Dorm and kitchen not the cleanest, feels grimy. Three girls in our dorm were high and partied all night. Myself and the other girl staying tried repeatedly to contact the owners who are not there during the night, to no avail. Horrible experience.

Good Location, old house. It’s clean but somehow not comfortable.

Booked the private 3 bed room at first, which was very crusty and minimally furnished. Bathroom was also a walk from the room (you have to go through the garden to reach the bathroom) which was very inconvenient. Therefore thankfully the staff was nice enough to change us to another room. But no activities going on in the hostel and little atmosphere. Location is not too bad in a cute neighbourhood but there's another hostel down the road (oripando) which did seem to be better

excelente ubicación, el personal muy amable

was a good experience, totally recommended for all travelers.

A hostel of very top quality. The place was very very clean and felt extremely welcoming and homely. The staff are top of the range. The location is phenomenal right in the heart of the historical islamic centre of Granada. The experience felt very personal and unique. The only flaw is the cooking facilities which were limited but this is the only fault I can posit.

5 estrellas! Muy amables Mercedes y Juan José. Ambiente muy tranquilo en una casa típica del Albaicín. Muy buena experiencia! Lo recomiendo

Excelente hostal, muy lindo y limpio con muchos ambientes para todo tipo de personas. En el corazón del barrio Albaicin por lo que cerca de todo lo más turistico.

this is a super cozy hostel with really great staff! i loved the location, close to viewpoints of the Alhambra and city - but it is atop a hill!

El mejor hostal en el que me he quedado, literal. Muchas gracias Amaka!

Owner was very accomodating and let us check in early and store our luggage after checking out. He was always very quick to respond to messages and answer our questions. Bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were all very clean and had everything needed. Great location in the Albaycin that was quiet at night and close to a lot of great restaurants and things to do during the day (although know that like all of Granada, you have to climb many hills or steps to get there). Highly recommend!

Eravamo praticamente soli, nella struttura. Solo un altro ospite che si vedeva poco. La cucina è molto funzionale e arredata di tutto. I bagni sono essenziali, l'acqua ben calda, puliti. Il top è il giardino interno, cui si affacciano le stanze e le scale per salire ai bagni e altre stanze. un bel tavolo per mangiare, un forno se vuoi fare qualcosa alla brace, un patio coperto con 2 amache per cullarsi al suono di una piccola fontanella. Vi è anche una stanza a disposizione comune, ben arre...

Beautiful setup, innovative security system, incredible neighborhood, and so cheap - had the luxury of a double room to myself for two nights for just 100euros. Smooth checkout. Would absolutely do again; highly recommend.

Hostel très charmant. La petite cour intérieure est très agréable pour y manger ou s’y poser. Les chambres sont propres et confortables. Salle de bain nickel. Le personnel est très gentil.

Super cool and great location! Felt very safe. Very responsive and accommodating.

Super schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Außenbereich- eine richtige Wohlfühloase. Als wir da waren war wenig los und es ist nicht unbedingt etwas für Personen die sich connecten wollen. Dafür umso besser zum abschalten und lesen in den Hängematten. Das Personal ist super lieb und alles sehr sauber! Wir kommen gerne wieder :)

Great place with great management. Was there out of season but was quiet, super clean, and in great location

Amaka House was our favourite hostel so far on our travels!! Really nice layout of the hostel and the shared space was super cool and had lots of cozy little places to hangout. Staff were great!! Very kind and helpful. Other guests were nice too and we felt safe the whole time. Location of the hostel was handy- very close to lots of little streets with insanely yummy restaurants and tons of shops and vendors. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!!!

Sitio muy bien ubicado cerca del centro, acogedor y bien equipado. Juanjo muy amable y servicial!! Sin duda repetiremos.

La verdad que lo recomendaría 100%. Bastante cuesta para llegar pero ese es el encanto de estar por el albaicín. Un lugar con encanto y su patio interior perfecto para desconectar.

Great location. Really nice staff. Very fair accommodations for the price. Enjoyed myself and Would stay again.

Best hostal, and oldest in the old(nicest) part of the city. Staff is the most beutiful ppl I met in my trip. I will def stay another time in Amaka Hostel when I come back to Granada.

Really enjoyed my time here! The staff was nice, the hostel was clean and I think over all it has everything you need for a cozy and nice stay, at least for my needs :) Especially liked the variety of the chilling places. Only downside was that I found the internet connection / wifi a bit unstable at times.

This hostel is so cute! Our room kinda felt like staying in a cabin at camp. The vibe is nice throughout the hostel. The only downside is the bathroom was a little far from our room.

Todo muy bien. Habitacion de 4, pero una cama estaba muy alta y el aceso era incomodo

Very much enjoyed my stay here, ideal neighborhood and there is a quaint garden and common areas. Vibe was good and staff were very helpful when it came to explaining the Semana Santa parades and where to see the processions. Others have mentioned the climb, it is not so bad if you walk from the center of town or further down the Gran Via, but if you take her shortest route from the train station, that will be the steepest.

Kinda hard to find, it is also very dark at night- there aren’t many streetlights near the entrance.

Ich habe mich so wohl gefühlt, so das ich ein paar schöne Tage länger geblieben bin
