Close to sightseeing (alhambra,etc.). Barebones room ( beds, bathroom, insulated windows), but clean. AC didn't work, which was terrible with 105 degree weather. Got lucky finding parking 10 minutes away. Driving there isn't simple with various road restrictions.

Booked a room for three people but I felt like the room wasn’t designed for 3. The extra bed made the walkway very narrow and everyone in my family hit their leg on the sharp bed frame. Room was on the smaller side. however, it was in a good location

This hotel is all you need to visit Granada. The rooms are clean ( yet with a limited space). But you’re not staying there all day anyways. It’s conveniently located at a walking distance to everything from shopping to cathedral to madina. For this affordable price, I will book it again in the future.

The location of this hotel was ideal, being near plaza nueva and alhambra. However, the quadruple room booked was not like the photographs. My room was located on the 4th floor of an adjacent building-access was via an open staircase connecting the main building to the annex. The room was the only one located at the annex, on that floor. The only window overlooked a wall and the room was smaller than the photographs suggested. I had to move the desk and chair in front of the window, in order to get to the bathroom, or else climb over the bed. Also, the heat generated from the air conditioning combo unit was minimal. In late November/early December, the room was constantly cold. The only warm spot in the room was directly under the unit, which required standing beneath the unit to feel warm. Overall, my experience in the annexed building was not the pleasant experience i expected based on the photographic depictions of the rooms. However, walking through the warm main building in order to get to the annex, the main building seemed as though a room within it would be better than those located in the annex. I would stay at hostal atenas again if i can be assigned a room in the main building, a room which looks like the photographs.

We have stayed at Hostel Atenas a few times before, and have been impressed by the modern, quiet, comfotable rooms. Were looking forward to another 2 day break in Granada, but this time we were given a room facing the main road (Gran Via Colon). This room has not been modernised like most of the other rooms, and was very disappointing. The size was small, the bathroom fittings were very old and worn out, and the worst thing was the noise. Being at the front of the hotel, the traffic noise from the main road was very loud, and it was difficult to sleep. Very disappointing, as we know that there are some lovely quiet rooms at the back of the hotel.

Dear customer, I would like to thank you for leaving such a positive comment abour our accommodation. It is a pleasure for us knowing that you liked our hostel and its central location. However, if you stayed in an exterior room it is normal to hear some noise, but as an advantage, you have great views! On the other hand, you could have asked for a different room (always depending of the availability) to be more comfortable! It would be an honour if you come back to Hostal Atenas very soon. Kind regards, Raquel.

Dear customer, I would like to thank you for leaving a comment about our accommodation since your opinion is key for us to amerliorate our hostel. For this reason, it is a pleasure to know that our central location was useful for you when visiting the main touristic attractions in the city. However, it is a pity that you found our hostel that simple, since we are impoving and working every day in comfort, service, cleaning, decoration, etc. On the other hand, I would like to apologize if you heard some noise; thus, I inform you that we are working in the soundproofing in the whole building so there is no problem anymore. We would like to invite you to come back very soon!! Kind regards, Raquel

Just What We Needed
Hostal Atenas was just what we needed for our Granada adventure. Centrally located and easy walking distance from the Catedral and public transit to the Alhambra and Albicin. The staff was friendly and very helpful with suggestions and directions to local dining, shopping, historical experiences and bus routes. They were even able to pre purchase our tickets for the Alhambra long after they were sold out online. Know before you go... The rooms are clean and ours was quiet. The beds were two twins. There is very little extra space. This was not a problem for us but if you are a big person or have active children you might consider the room a little snug. We only were there to sleep and shower and the Hostal Atenas was a great value and very convenient for our trip to the magical city of Granada.

It has a great location. However, there's no heating in the room. We arrived at 3pm, and the room was not ready even though check in time is supposed to be 1 pm. The room also smells of cigarette even though it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. It was value for money, but would not be coming back.

This hostal is right in the Albaicin and on most bus routes. Parking difficult don't rely on hostal garage parking. Many bars and restaurants all nearby, walk around or get the hop on / off train. Apart from the obvious go to the San Jeronimo Monastery. Amazing.

Dirty room
The room wasn't even ready when I got there after the check in time. The cleaner was still cleaning and the floor was dusty and dirty even after the cleaning, since she only swept it once carelessly. The toilet had a toilet paper inside, as the toilet didnt flush well, and the shower smelt like someone's sweat when I turned the water on to use it. Also the towel they gave me had hair on it. I understand that it is a cheap hotel, but cleanliness is a basic thing. I don't have a complaint about the size of the room, because that's what I paid for. The good things are that the location is good and the neighborhood is safe from the hotel being on the main road. The bed was comfortable as well, but I would pay more and go to a cleaner hotel if I am back in Granada.

Great neighborhood. Hostal was fine for the price but they more than doubled it when I tried to book a second night. We went down the street and found another LOVELY place for the same price as our first night. Very loud with partiers as they have 80 rooms.

We stayed in a quadruple room for one night, and were very happy about the place. The hotel is centrally located, close to all main attractions. Our room was basic, but very clean. Wifi signal was good. We slept quite well at night. Check-out was fast and easy. Overrall, Atenas offers excellent value, and we would stay there again.

Prettier inside than out
This was my first stay at a hostal, but it felt like a hotel. My roommate said it was more of a pensión ). For 60€ we had a room with WIFI (which worked on my iPhone but not my tablet), 2 twins, our own bathroom (which was spacious and modern), TV, towels (2 bath, 2 hand, 1 floor mat), closet, balcony, and daily maid service. I washed clothes in the sink and had places to hang them. I recommend buying a travel clothesline. From room 610 (top floor), we had a fantastic view. No A/C, but opening the sliding glass door allowed cool air in. Temps were a high of 81 (when we weren't there), and a low of 52. We closed the door before going to sleep. With it open, there was some street noise, but our floor was quiet. There were 7 rooms on it. After checking out, we put 2 backpacks & a carryon into a locker for 2€.
