Insider Tip

Oasis Backpackers Hostel Granada

Oasis Backpackers Hostel Granada is another branch of the Oasis Hostel chain. It's located in the popular Albaicin neighborhood where you'll find lots of bars and places to explore. The hostel staff are great and they organize all kinds of activities for guests. If you want to make the most of the social atmosphere and activities, make sure you visit during the high season, as things can be much slower during the low season.

The Facilities

Dorms

Dorms sleep four, six, eight, or ten people with co-ed and female only options available. The bunks are relatively comfortable but some of the rooms are a little small and can feel a bit cramped. There is a reading light for each bunk and security lockers are available. There's also a decent amount of natural light in most of the rooms.

Private Rooms

If you're traveling as a couple, you'll likely appreciate the double private room which has its own small balcony. It's a clean and comfortable room with decent furnishings and a good amount of space.

There's also a two bedroom apartment available that is very charming and well furnished. This is a great option for groups that want their own amenities like their own kitchen. It really is the perfect retreat in Granada.

Bathrooms

The bathrooms are decent but some of the showers on the higher floors have weaker water pressure. In general they're in good condition, but can get crowded during peak times so you may have to wait.

Bar

Head to the hostel's bar where you can enjoy a cold drink and swap travel stories with other travelers. The bar is the most popular with the longest hours during the peak summer months. During these months there are regular activities and lots of people who hang out in the bar.

Common Areas

Inside the hostel are lounge areas with sofas as well as a dining area. You can use the shared kitchen to prepare a meal and enjoy it with other guests at a table in the dining space. The lounge has sofas and relaxing places to sit as well as a public computer that guests can use.

Outdoor Space

Head to the rooftop terrace to take in the views and relax in the sun. This is a great gathering place for guests who want to spend some time outside. There's plenty of comfortable seating and a bit of shade during the hot months.
