Best Hostels in Granada
El Granado Hostel
- Located in a central but local area
- Communal meals and daily events
- Best for social atmosphere (great for solo travelers)
- Book at Hostelworld

If you want a highly social backpacker atmosphere, don’t even think twice about it and just book El Granado. The owners genuinely care about creating a welcoming experience. One of the best things about this hostel is the private WhatsApp group where activities are posted. The connections you can make here are special. The rooftop area hosts family-style dinners, drinks, and events.
I enjoyed that this hostel is in a ‘local’ area, just away from the tourist zone but close enough to walk anywhere. For some free tapas with your drinks, check out Bar Clausura nearby. There is a co-work office on the ground floor that’s nice and quiet. Be sure to reserve your bed in advance as El Granado is one of Granada’s top hostels.
