8.5Verified guest“Great location near Albaycin with lots of evening activities organized by the hostel. Friendly staff, comfortable beds, warm rooms, and a hair dryer provided. The kitchen offers free food like macaroni and rice. Excellent kitchen facilities and a more than average breakfast. Ideal for meeting like-minded people and a perfect base for exploring Albaycin and Alhambra on foot.”
8.5Verified guest“The hostel was a wonderful place to stay in a great location in the old Arabic area of the city just beneath the Alhambra Palace. We had our 9 and 13 year old boys and stayed in a four bedded room with bathroom. We had bunk beds but I believe other rooms didn't have bunk beds which would have been better. The staff were excellent and very helpful - they do guided walking tours from the hostel. Buy a bus pass from the bus driver and top it up for cheaper travel.”
8.5Verified guest“I would recommend it without doubt, one of the best hostels i've been to, whether you're in a group or you travel in a couple. If you are on a romantic trip, ask for room 41 with a view on the Alhambra. It's still a youth hostel, but you have privacy and a beautiful view! The other rooms don't have a view, though, but the hostel is right beside the Paseo de los Tristes, with lovely views from the street.”
8.5Verified guest“The location of the hostel is excellent, with the city center, Albaizin, and main sights all within a 5-minute walk. The building itself is beautiful and has a relaxing patio. The dorm rooms are spacious with ensuite bathrooms, and there is a common toilet on each floor. The small yet fully equipped kitchen and big common area are great for meals. The staff, especially Alfredo, Stefan, and Natalia, are incredibly nice and helpful. Natalia organizes fun activities like pub crawls and tapas tours, making the experience memorable.”
8.5Verified guest“The location of the hotel and the helpfulness of the hotel staff.”
8.5Verified guest“The staff at White Nest Hostel was absolutely fantastic, helpful & extremely friendly. We very much enjoyed the Tapas Tour that was offered as well as the Sacromonte Tour. The room was incredibly clean, the beds were comfortable, we had lockers in our room, the bathroom was huge with two showers, the room had two balconies, there was floor heating. The breakfast was basic but good.”
