Super lovely and cozy and gorgeous place to stay. Very homey and sweet. Pretty tasty breakfast too! Slept lots :) Highlight was the really actually amazing half 3-D art staircase walls and the really lovely twins that work there! They are both super kind chill sweet peoples with really honest recommendations on where to go. Would love to return one day :)

The location is excellent — very close to both the train station and the city center. The room feels spacious and comfortable, with great ventilation and plenty of natural light. The staff are very nice and make you feel welcome and at ease. There are both private indoor bathrooms and shared ones, so even if you come back late at night, you won’t disturb others. It’s one of the most relaxing hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

I stayed at ECO Hostel because the reviews mentioned it was both social and a good place to get some work done. And that turned out to be true! They organize a family dinner every evening for €10 with different dishes each time, and there’s almost always free sangria on the fourth floor (where you also get a great view of the city). The ground floor and the back stairway are beautifully decorated. A small detail, but one I really appreciated. I’d definitely recommend adding breakfast for €4.50, since you get a proper barista coffee and several options to choose from like bread with hummus, eggs, or yogurt with chocolate muesli. For my fellow digital nomads: the Wi-Fi wasn’t always perfectly stable, which made meetings a bit tricky. But outside of that it worked fine. Most of the staff were really friendly, especially the English guy and the slightly older woman. Unfortunately there was one girl who seemed unhappy to be there, and several guests mentioned the same thing: if you didn’t speak Spanish, she could be quite short or rude. I had a similar experience myself. I stayed in a 6-bed dorm with capsule-style bunks, which was great if you get a bottom bed, but just a heads-up: the top ones are really high! Even with those small things, I’d still give this hostel 5 stars mainly for the free sangria and the fun atmosphere!

Clean hostel with super nice staff & volunteers. Common room super cute and has good views, social opportunities are really good! The building itself a lot of character and isn’t just boring and plain. Really good location and easy walking distance from everything. The only thing I didn’t like at allll is that you had to manually lock the door every time you leave, or lock yourself in. Like it doesn’t automatically lock and you can’t trust everyone to lock the door, they did have plenty of storage lockers you can lock in the room though so that helped. I will say it’s a little ironic that their whole thing is “eco” and art but their TikTok has a whole bunch of AI baby videos💀😂 doesn’t change that it’s a great hostel though.

Great place, great people, great coworking area, and great pricing. I've been to this hostel a few times, and have really appreciated it every single time. The people who work there are very nice and helpful and the place is very well-located. You can reach the main square and the cathedral in a few minutes by foot. The rooms are tidy, and well-lit. Each room has lockers with combination locks for you to put your stuff. The room I stayed in (4 beds) had additional lockers where you could add your own lock, which is also convenient if you prefer that. In the evenings, they offer you a free glass of sangría in the living room (and you can also buy an international dinner), which is a great opportunity to meet other travelers. We would usually meet there and then go out for tapas. For digital nomads, this is the place to be as they have a coworking area with fast fiber-optic internet, and also a mini call boot if you need to make calls. I never had an issue with the internet, it works better than in my place. I live in Granada now, but continue to visit the place, just for the coffee shop, the people, and the vibes.
