Hostal Arteaga & Baños de Elvira

The location is great, and the staff are friendly, polite, and helpful. Although it's an old place, that gives it an authentic charm. You might find small surprises waiting for you in the rooms :) The bathroom and toilet are spacious, clean, airy, and nicely designed. The price is very reasonable.

This lovely hostel is well placed being close the Cathedral and Albaicin areas. The rooms have all you need including comfortable beds, decent showers, a small fridge with free bottled water and a kettle for tea & coffee. We bought milk from a local supermarket. Hostal Arteaga doesn't do breakfasts but the very friendly staff can recommend some of the nearby places where you can find something delicious to eat. Carmen & the other staff we met were extremely helpful and hospitable. We were welcomed with a lovely card and chocolates. When they discovered it was my birthday, they presented me with a little treat too! It's that sort of personal touch which makes this place so special. We would definitely stay again.

The towelette on arrival was cute, the sheets were clean and the room smelt nice, but the doors to the rooms are very old and have gaps between the floor / ceiling so that at night you can hear all other guests coming and going, and in their rooms.

My favorite hostal in Granada. I recently slept there for a second time this year. Amazing staff, very clean and great location. The building has a real charm and the baños just downstairs are great. Being the second time I slept there, I even found a lovely card on my bed this time ☺️. I always recommend this place if you are staying in Granada for a couple of days or even a week! Just book it!

Lovely hotel in the city center, located in the historical building. Amazing and very welcoming staff. Unlimited fee water, welcome chocolates, and free amenity kit, something you don't see every day, even in 5* hotels.

Exemplary customer service by Carmen - from our arrival to beyond our departure. The WhatsApp communication too was superb, even providing information on what to see and do. The room had everything you could think of: - well lit with a bright central light and individual bedside lights with dimmer function - a wardrobe - a wall mounted TV - a window with shutters - which blocked out all the light when closed (something I always hope for). - a great shower with hot water, good pressure and a wall mounted shower holder. - towel hooks exactly where needed in the bathroom - a very good hairdryer - towels and a bathmat - a kettle and large mugs - a fridge with a large bottle of water and some chocolates. The bed was very comfortable with a good mattress and duvet. Overall it was quiet though there was some very occasional noise from other guests in the corridor, something typical of most accommodation in Spain whether it is 1 star or 4 star. Hostal Arteaga is centrally located and perfect to access all the sights of Granada as well as the Moroccan area and lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops etc. There is an excellent discounted parking arrangement with an underground car park 10 minutes walk away. Our room was nice and warm in December - a perfect temperature both in the room and bathroom. Along with the fantastic professionally run hammam and massage, this is a wonderful option for Granada.

Ok -lets start with what might put you off staying here...|1. No restaurant or catering facilities (but plenty of bars, pastelerías, restaurants etc within 5 mins walk).|2.A bit old fashioned decor - not a modern stylish hotel etc etc||Now the reasons why you really should put this place top of your list;|1. Fantastic staff - couldn't be more helpful, friendly and professional. Not in the cold, almost aloof way of 'top' hotels, but in a human, personable manner. Nothing is too much trouble; they anticipate requirements, explain everything really well, are very knowlegeable about Granada and are happy, smiley, friendly people.|2. The rooms are perfectly clean and well appointed in terms of toiletries, kettle etc (often not provided at more than twice the price )|3. Excellent location, just off the Gran Via - it couldn't be better|3. Phenomenal value|This little, unassuming hotel is, in our opinion, the best place to stay in this wonderful city of Granada. We have tried quite a few, but never stayed a second time - until now!

My wife was given a gift to use the hammam here so we decided to stay in the hostel. The hostel is in a great central location and as long as you clearly follow the good instructions it is no problem with the one-way system. Carmen on reception is fabulous and multitasking. If required you can park in the unground car park for €10 per day (€24 normally) you need to collect the discount card from the hostel. The hostel is perfect for us. There is a lift, the room was comfortable and clean with ensuite and a small television. There is a kettle and nice big mugs. It was nice and warm (December) it was mostly quiet. We felt secure as reception is open from 8am to 11pm and you are given three keys to access out of hours. The hostel has the hammam in the same building and it is fantastic. Walking in to the centre of Granada is quick and easy.
