  • 4/5 Peter Agoston (Petros The M. 1 year ago on Google • 436 reviews
    Carlota hostel Pros In comparison to other hostels in Granada, this is in the top 5. The staff was helpful and polite. The building is very chic and clean: definitely good stay for couple of days. Beds are really comfy, good mats connectors, mini lamps {bit weirdos} Lockers are big & okay! Its good to know that sometimes they have dance activity so the life on the first floor can be loud - until 2 o'clock am. Cons WiFi is not accessible in the dorm {zero signal}!!! Bunk beds on the top have no {or unstable} railings! This is dangerous for the bad sleepers. WC are really thin short small for normal usage. You cannot make a breakfast before 9 because the kitchen "living room' is closed...

    This is review for the stay in hostel. I have stayed so far in 4 hostels in Spain. Pluses- Location (7min walk from cathedral and about 20min walk from Alhambra) all walking distance - great! Kitchen facility (can cook meal if you have time for this). Check in - I was able to leave my bag before check in time so that's great. The draw under the bed witch you can lock with your own padlock. Minuses - I have stayed in 4 bed female dorm. Room extremely small, but that's not a huge problem, the problem is that without privacy curtains on the bed the light from other beds shines in your face or the worse ir the bathroom light and extractor as you open noisy sliding door the light and extractor switches on and lits up all room. No window in the bathroom so smels damp quite badly and all skirtings damaged by the water as well. No privacy curtain. The noise is constant, either from ground floor door which get slammed every few seconds by the restaurant users, the noise from busy street restaurants, the noise from people typing codes into their doors trying to open them and re-typing again. Basically prepare yourself to sacrifice sleeping for the location. Cleaning is the huge issue, never had stayed in the place where in the bathroom hair is stuck to every wall and not cleaned during two days stay. The shower... Different story, I only experienced this kind of showers in the swimming pools, so basically you have to press and hold the button if you want to shower yourself if you let go button shower switches off and there is no shower head to take to your hand, it's only small tiny and fixed to the wall, so I was not able to wash my hair at all, water pressure is great but not that usefull when have to pres the button with one hand all the time. There is codes to open the doors, one guy slept in a lobby because could not open his door, that's quite sad for paying guests. My code stopped working after one day stay and other guests had the same issue, it seems that hostel wanted us out after one day. Kitchen facility is good but there is no staff to empty drying rack and do tidy up during the day, as before cooking I had to do myself and that's a bit not fair when in other hostels receptionists making sure that kitchen always tidy. Although kitchen meant to be open from 7-24 but in the morning at 8:20 was still closed as it seems there is no staff to supervise it. The toilet issues as the room has the bathroom with the toilet and extra thin wall with no proper lock on the door so if you need a bit more time in the toilet better to use one on the ground floor, the restaurant toilet, therefore cleaner only cleans once a day this toilet so in the morning after Saturday night this toilet was covered in urine. The place needs a cleaner for the morning and evening at least.

    Comfortable and clean dorm. Basic but workable kitchen. Wifi is not consistent throughout the property but still reasonably reliable. Smooth check-in (and well-organised options for early/late arrivals). The establishment includes a ground floor restaurant/bar, which stays loud well into the night.

    Not possible to leave bag until checkin at 3pm. This is not practical rule that needs to change, people arrive in the morning all the time. I've been to 15 hostels in Spain, everywhere is possible, only here no.

    Only been there for a few hours before I joined my friend in an airbnb. Seemed okay and tidy but room was super loud as door open and loud music from downstairs (restaurant/bar) came in. Bathroom downstairs was very dirty at the time I was there. Otherwise very friendly staff and good location!

  • 4/5 Mariam bint A. 9 months ago on Google • 102 reviews
    We had got a big room, with 4 beds, for only 2 of us. Power sockets for charging the mobile phones are next to every bed (there is 5 or 6 sockets). Air-conditioning stop working, we opened the window but there was a bunch of drunks who sung, talked and yelled all the night. So, even though the beds are very comfortable we had a bad night. Dush is a kind of weird but we managed to get showerd. And there wasn't any towels.

  • 5/5 Robert B. 7 months ago on Google • 51 reviews
    What a BEAUTIFUL surprise. Place is super nice and the food is hella good. We took the Nachos, the Lobster Roll and the Tarta de Leche, one better than the other but the Nachos were mimdblow, deffo worth. Bonus: sizes are big, keep that in mind.

  • 2/5 Jesse L. 1 year ago on Google • 43 reviews
    Would not recommend. Out of 15+ hostels, literally the worst one. To start, the 10-bed mixed dorm had ONE sink to share between all TEN people (plus 2 showers + toilets). Second, there is no reception the majority of the time so people walk in/out unmonitored. There was even a person who let in their unregistered friend to stay in one of the room’s empty beds, as they only needed the door code. The rooms and bathroom are not well maintained. The shower was disgusting and the drain was partially clogged so your feet are submerged in dirty water. Lastly, there are near zero efforts to create ambiance at the hostel. No events. The only way is catching ppl at the kitchen or in the rooms.

    I love the vibe of this place (you don’t really know it’s a hostel). I discovered this place when looking for early live music. They have early shows on Sundays (but I don’t think the kitchen is open Sundays, I may be wrong though). Great for drinks, food & friendly staff. The pizza was pretty tasty too!

    · Hostel is at the good location but yeah its little bit far from bus and train station. , well the whole city is beautiful. Check in was simple and staff is helpful. They have a small lounge with small kitchen. Beds were comfy. There was locker down the bed to store your stuff. Check-out procedure is simple to ,you just need to put your card in a box that's it. Location 10/10 Cleanliness 9/10 Staff 10/10 Privacy 7/10 Check-in/Check-out 10/10 Disliked · No curtains around the bed for privacy. The shampoo/body wash was not filled even though cleaning person came and cleaned the room. So both days I stayed no bodywash nor even handwash was filled they both were empty.

    Popped in for a drink, decided to come back later for food. Good beer, friendly staff and excellent food. Good value for money.

    (Translated by Google) Literally one of the worst hostels I have visited in Spain.. I will mention the problems I had one by one: 1)- The toilet in the room was dirty; people flush toilet paper without flushing the bathroom and hair is everywhere 2)- The bed, the same, dirty... taking into account that I have allergies and now I am suffering 3)- Some guests have nothing to do with respect. They wake up early and make noises with their things or close the door strongly 4)- The staff is not bad, but it is not professional either.. In short, I do not recommend it. (Original) Literalmente uno de los peores hosteles que he visitado en España.. Voy a mencionar los problemas que tuve uno en uno: 1)- El aseo de la habitación estaba sucio; la gente tira el papel higiénico sin descargar el baño y el cabello está en todas partes 2)- La cama, igual, sucia .. teniendo en cuenta que tengo alergia y ahora estoy sufriendo 3)- Algunos huéspedes no tienen nada que ver con el respeto.. Se despiertan a tempranas horas y hacen ruidos con sus cosas o cierran la puerta fuertemente 4)- El personal no está mal, pero tampoco es profesional.. En resumen, no lo recomiendo

    (Translated by Google) Good hostel with friendly employees. Everything is neat and it is attached to a restaurant where you can also eat at a discount. Note that it is a music bar so you will hear music until late. So bring your earplugs. (Original) Goeie hostel met vriendelijke medewerkers. Alles is netjes en het zit vast aan een restaurant waar je ook met korting kan eten. Let wel dat het een muziek bar is dus je zult tot laat muziek horen. Neem dus je oordopjes mee.

  • 4/5 Alireza S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, helpful staff and good location. At the beginning it looked a bit dark but later came the travelers who lightened the atmosphere :) The only downside was the bathroom fan which was a bit noisy during my stay. All in all recommended

  • 5/5 William L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is nice and the music show was great. The best was the service we had. Really recommended for a fun night out 😁

  • 5/5 Ingrid T. 1 year ago on Google

    Great hostel, reasonably clean, everything looks new (28.10.2022), very friendly staff

  • 1/5 Rody Musical Hypnotic D. 1 year ago on Google
    In the big dorm, shared shower is very noisy and bed lights are lighting the whole room, so you are awake when people live their life not caring about the others . Very hard to sleep, not every beds are the same , some are smaller and the box under the bed doesn't fit anything. Impossible to change bed. Bad internet on the terrasse and no internet at all in the bedroom They try to clean the room but when nothing work people don't care about things so it is always dirty and messy (bathroom and kitchen) Noise from the bar of the 1st floor until 3am. Shared kitchen is nice, terrasse is nice

  • 2/5 Betina C. 1 year ago on Google
    The room was not comfortable the shared bathroom was inside the room and it was dirty, at night it was super noisy since every night there was live music in the hotel restaurant

  • 1/5 maryam G. 1 year ago on Google
    Waiters there were very rude when we went there it was full and one of the waiters was telling us we were full and we were like what should we do leave ???? Even though there was one table empty and we just wanted to put our names and wait for an empty table. service is very slow, and you dont know when your food or drink is coming. I will not recommend this place. The only good thing about this place is the live music.

  • 5/5 Wild & S. 1 year ago on Google
    The Gentleman that works there was extremely professional. He was able to make good recommendation, takes the order and bring the order always super polite! Patatas muy bravas a must try! Cosy decoration and nice playlist. I recommend this place

  • 2/5 M B. 10 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Francisco Castilla M. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I spent a couple of days as a couple and everything was great. Good atmosphere and perfect value for money. Central, we walked to all the places. I highlight the brunette girl at the reception, Martina I think, she was kind and helpful with our doubts. Without a doubt, we will recommend it to friends who visit Granada! (Original) Pasé un par de días en pareja y todo genial. Buen ambiente y perfecta relación calidad - precio. Céntrico, fuimos andando a todos los lugares. Destaco a la chica morena de recepción, Martina creo, fue amable y servicial con nuestras dudas. Sin duda, lo recomendaremos a amigos que visiten Granada!

  • 5/5 Slava K. 2 years ago on Google
    This hostel is very clean, the beds and showers are great and the atmosphere is great aswell. Everything i expect from a hostel. The lady from the hostel is also very nice and helpful. Alltogether, I highly recommend it. Thanks and all the best for the future😁

  • 5/5 Roberto Pérez M. 2 years ago on Google
    Hostel Carlota Braun en el centro de Granada fue un descubrimiento casual que se ha convertido en una parada obligada cada vez que vuelvo a Granada. He tenido la suerte de conocer al personal y ser de los primeros huéspedes y comensal en el bar Carlota Braun. Una pasada de sitio. Mi mas sincera recomendación para todos los que no se conformen con lo de siempre.

  • 4/5 VIAJES SENDATUR Q. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Recommended hostel to rest and enjoy the city. The boy very nice in his dealings. Good ubication. The only negative thing to note is the cleaning girl. He entered the room and removed the sheets without having left the hostel yet. While collecting the suitcases, still inside the room, the girl got inside and began to make the beds. From our point of view and experience, horrible. (Original) Hostal recomensable para descansar y disfrutar de la ciudad. El chico muy agradable en su trato. Buena ubicación. Lo único negativo que destacar es la chica de la limpieza. Entró a la habitación y quitó las sábanas sin haber dejado el hostal todavía. Estando recogiendo las maletas, aún dentro de la habitación, la chica se metió dentro y se puso a hacer las camas. Bajo nuestro punto de vista y experiencia, horrible.

  • 1/5 Pedro L. 2 years ago on Google
    Buenas instalaciones, la limpieza está bien pero tienen una pésima actitud y muy mal servicio, se les cae el wifi, hacen mucho ruido por reparaciones en las mañanas y por medio día están buscándote y preguntando si sigues, en que cama, etc. Mala administración

  • 5/5 Ana Belén P. 2 years ago on Google
    Precioso hostel en el centro de Granada, muy buen precio ,habitación muy limpias, todo el personal muy amable y tienen un bar con la cerveza muy fresquita una decoración exquisita y música en directo,la comida está buenísima y ha muy buen precio!!

  • 5/5 Jette Van W. 2 years ago on Google
    Central, clean and friendly staff! We also liked the Bar downstairs. Definitely will come back the next time we visit Granada

  • 5/5 Marko T. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent hospitality, clean environment, modern design, employees are so helpfull and friendly giving right answers always. Walking distance from Alhambra and city center, sorounded by pharmacy, groceries, shops, pastries, food like falafels, kebabs, tacos with a fair price starting 1,5€ or Lebanese and other food all inclusive (10€).Mini-buses which takes you to other interesting sights and nearby bus stops to the Central Bus Station (20min) or to the airport.

  • 3/5 Silvia 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tastefully decorated premises, but somewhat high prices for what they offer. Apple pie is nothing more than a puff pastry with compote; it is not very tasty and its price is excessive for the result (€ 5.50). Of course, very good music and without too much ambient noise. (Original) Local decorado con gusto, pero precios algo elevados para lo que ofrecen. La tarta de manzana no es más que una pasta tipo hojaldre con compota; es poco sabrosa y su precio excesivo para el resultado (5,50€). Eso sí, muy buena música y sin demasiado ruido de ambiente.

  • 5/5 Eric D. 2 years ago on Google
    I just checked in yesterday and I have to say this is one of the finest hostels I've ever stayed in, it's just beautiful and very central located and not up some crazy steep hill. Clean and restored new looking with towels and bathroom soap provided. The only weird thing is that there is no front desk and you have to call someone to get checked in and they give you a key-card and you're on your own. I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Ines G. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We went as a large group, on a weekend, and they treated us great. The location is good (8 mins to the cathedral). It is very nice and new. Cleanliness is good. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure. (Original) Fuimos un grupo grande, un fin de semana y nos trataron genial. La ubicación es buena (8 mins a la catedral). Es muy bonito y nuevo. La limpieza es buena. El personal es muy amable y atento. Volveremos seguro.

  • 2/5 Matt B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fairly expensive for what we were provided with. Minimal facilities, no hooks to hang stuff on, soap dispensers broken. Many better options out there.

    Amazing place and environment

  • 5/5 Vicente G. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I wanted to go with my work colleagues to dinner at a place where I could have a good dinner without falling into the typical. I already knew the site but had never tried the menu. The dishes offered something different and without a doubt they were exquisite. The atmosphere of the place with soft music and the murmur of the people, which at no time became annoying, was perfect to be able to have a pleasant conversation about work issues in a more relaxed atmosphere. The decoration of the place and the treatment of the staff of 10. After dinner we decided to have a few drinks and you could tell that the alcohol was of quality. (Original) Quería ir con los compañeros del trabajo a cenar a un sitio donde cenar bien sin caer en lo típico. El sitio ya lo conocía pero nunca había probado la carta. Los platos ofrecían algo diferente y sin duda estaban exquisitos. El ambiente del local con música suave y el murmullo de la gente, que en ningún momento se hacía molesto, era perfecto para poder tener una conversación agradable sobre temas del trabajo en un ambiente más distendido. La decoración del local y el trato del personal de 10. Después de la cena decidimos echarnos unas copas y se notaba que el alcohol era de calidad.

  • 5/5 Karina A. 1 year ago on Google
    A really nice hostel, in a good location, the staff is very attentive. There is just one little thing that the guy in reception didn't tell me a place to have a dinner - it would have been very nice ;) almost perfect staying I would say. Thank you for all attention and help, I felt very welcomed. I wish I could stay longer!

  • 4/5 Daghochi 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Criisty P. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They opened the bar exclusively for us on a Monday in which we had a get-together. The treatment a 10 and everything excellent. They gave us a snack that although it wasn't very abundant, it was all very tasty and I really will eat again with my friends. The decoration and the place a 10. Really, we will return because they treated us super well! (Original) Nos abrieron el bar exclusivamente para nosotros un lunes en el que hicimos una convivencia. El trato un 10 y todo excelente. Nos pusieron un picoteo que aunque no era muy abundante estaba todo muy rico y de verdad que volveré a comer yo con mis amigos. La decoración y el sitio un 10. De verdad, volveremos porque nos trataron super bien!!

    The worst hostel we have been so far... we booked a room for 4 nights, the pictures showed us that it is a bright room with windows and the description said that it is a room for 4 people and only for women. That was important to us. When we arrived, we were put in a small room, without a window, the room was so small so that you couldn’t even turn around and it was really dark and stinky , I know its a hostel and you should never set your expectations too high, but that was just really really uncomfortable ! My friend is claustrophobia and we couldn't stay in this room, so we went to the staff and told them that we booked a completely different room... and so we came to the room that we booked , but that was no longer a room only with women... but that was ok for us, the main thing is that we had a window. However, something unpleasant happened directly on the first night what’s makes it impossible for us to stay in this mixed dorm just because we felt very unsafe from this point ... However, you are not taken seriously by the very unfriendly staff and treated rather meanly when you try to explain what the problem is... the conclusion is that we left the hostel one night earlier than planned and looked for another accommodation for the last night in Granada... really bad hostel...
