El Granado

Five minutes from the Cathedral El Granado is located right in the centre of Granada, with walking distance to all that Granada has to offer, historical monuments, shops, nightlife, as well as to all the university departments located in the centre of the city.

El Granado is a quiet hostel with the history of Granada within the walls of the newly renovated building. Starting with the ground floor and half of the second floor from Nasrid period (13th -15th century) and then passing through the 16th and 17th century colonial style building as the building grows taller to end with all the commodities that the 21st century has to offer; heating, warm water showers, TV and Internet connection. Staying in this charming house, in the hart of Granada, definitely makes for a different and unique experience.

It's the perfect choice for a family, a group of friends, couples, or backpackers. It is also more affordable than a hotel, without compromising any of the commodities a hotel offers.

El Granado awaits you, buen viaje!
