I'm 52 years old. I took my 22 year old son to Granada. We were on a budget, but I also wanted him to experience a hostel for the first time.

I love staying here so much I went back a second time a year later. This place feels just like someones home. It is very relaxing and is all about atmosphere and character. It is a great break from typical backpacker hostels and hotels after months of travelling. We felt like we were part of the family from the first... More

Simply the best hostel I've been to. The staff, the accomodations, the atmosphere, the breakfasts, everything was perfect to me!! I was supposed to stay 3 days, I spent two weeks!! If you're going to Granada, Maktub is the place where you should stay!!
