Hostal Antares

“Served the purpose”

Super well located, great staff and loads of friendly advice. Room was clean and comfortable but it is basic and a tad on the small side. The hot water supply is also very small you can get maybe a 3 minute shower before having to wait about 30-40 minutes for it to reheat. However you can’t complai… more

“Great location central to all”

Only stayed for one night because was starting a study abroad program the next day and getting my school accommodations. Amazing location and very helpful. It was good to get to Granada earlier than the rest of my class. I was about to map it out and show them around. I would recommend.

“20 minutes from Alhambra, surrounded by Middle Eastern restaurants and shops”

We stayed one day while visiting Granada. It is in the Albayzin district. Outiside of hostel is a bustling neighborhood of immigrants from all around Middle East.

We stayed one day while visiting Granada. It is in the Albayzin district. Outiside of hostel is a bustling neighborhood of immigrants from all around Middle East. You will feel like you are in Morocco, Turkey, or Iraq. Don't worry - it is perfectly safe. The hostel is locked from the inside. You need to call, and they will open the door. They give you a key for the front door as well as the room. The location is main attraction, it's only 20 minutes uphill to Alhambra. The concierge will give you the maps and explain everything. There are plenty of places to eat or shop for groceries around the hostel. Inside it is what it is. We had a nice enough room with private bathroom and shower. Everything was in working order and clean. A few blocks away is the Granada Cathedral and around the block from it the "European" part of Granada - a nice boulevard with shops and restaurants, but we did not have any energy left after Alhambra.

“Difficult review as many positive aspects but a few issues too. ”

Fantastic location at 'base camp' Albaizin. You are on edge of the Moroccan sector here and 5 mins from the Gran Via. So, very central. I have wanted to stay in this area of the City for ages and decided to do it on a budget trip this time ! So price was very reasonable for location. Staff very … more

Fantastic location at 'base camp' Albaizin. You are on edge of the Moroccan sector here and 5 mins from the Gran Via. So, very central. I have wanted to stay in this area of the City for ages and decided to do it on a budget trip this time ! So price was very reasonable for location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Room was spotlessly clean with small ensuite. Luggage storage available if you arrive early or depart late. Located in a lovely old apartment building, they have converted a number of the units to visitor accommodation, about half woth ensuite shower rooms. I felt that the conversion has been done on the cheap! I was located at the front of the building on a cobble street and whilst the original single glazed window was supplimented by another double glazed screen, noise was a real.problem. there was also no openable windows or an extractor in the shower room. Unfortunately there were major repairs works going on to the road during my stay and pneumatic drills from 8am to 6pm! Noise from the local bars after 6 until midnight was fine and a pleasant noise. However street cleaning and garbage collection from 3am was a real problem. I also experienced noise from other guests. When room next to mine was occupied, I could hear conversations late into the night. No breakfast facilities but plenty of options close by. Overall I would give them a good review but TA only allows for average or very good. I could not give a very good rating. Would I stay here again? Actually, yes, but for max 2 nights .I love the vibrant neighbourhood. Its like being back in Morocco.
