About
Oasis Backpackers' Hostel Granada
Oasis Backpackers' Hostel Granada sits in the Albaicín, one of Granada's most historic neighbourhoods, about a 5-minute walk from the Gate of Elvira. The hostel has 16 rooms, a mix of shared dorms and private quarters, and a layout built around meeting people: there's a shared kitchen, a terrace, a bar and lounge, and a garden.
Staff organise walking tours and help with Alhambra tickets, a practical touch in a city where they often sell out. The hostel runs a happy hour and has a relaxed, sociable vibe. Reviews consistently mention the helpful desk team and the easy walk to tapas bars, monuments, and the Alhambra.
Most stays are in mixed dorms of 6, 8, or 10 beds, with a female-only 6-bed option. There's also a Classic Quadruple Room with space for four. The 6-bed mixed dorm adds air conditioning; other dorms rely on heating and natural ventilation. Guests should bring their own padlock for the lockers.
Check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00, and check-out is by 11:00. There's no on-site parking listed, so travellers arriving by car will need to plan for the narrow streets of the Albaicín. The hostel is no-smoking throughout and doesn't allow pets.
For a base that puts the city's sights and nightlife within an easy walk, Oasis keeps things simple, social, and well-priced.

8Verified guest“Really enjoyed my stay. The location is great – the main street, tapas bars, and monuments are all a short walk away. The dorm was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with air con, a fridge, and a hairdryer. The terrace and kitchen were nice spots to relax and cook. Staff were friendly and helpful. A few small downsides, like needing to bring your own padlock, but overall a fantastic experience – I met people from all over and loved the hostel's vibe. Highly recommend for a comfortable, fun stay.”
8Verified guest“Central and convenient, with friendly staff and clean rooms.”
8Verified guest“Great value for money, and the room had a fairytale-like feel. The location was perfect, with a pretty courtyard and great views of the Alhambra from the rooftop. Staff, especially Ana Maria and her colleague, were warm and made me feel at home. They organised interesting walking tours, and breakfast was delicious. Meeting travellers from everywhere was a highlight, and the patio was lovely. Thank you – I'd definitely come back if I can!”
8Verified guest“Had a brilliant time. Staff were incredibly friendly and the location was spot on, close to all the sights. Rooms had great views and the bathrooms were spacious. They organised free walking tours and helped get Alhambra tickets when they were sold out online. Loved their tips for off-the-beaten-path places too!”
8Verified guest“Friendly staff, great location, spacious and nicely furnished room. Good luggage storage options. Informative walking tours on offer.”
8Verified guest“Fantastic experience. The hostel has a great social vibe and a perfect location for seeing the city. Staff were lovely and went out of their way to help. The organised activities, like the Street Art and Caves tours, were a highlight. Rooms were comfortable, with handy wall plugs and lamps by the beds. Highly recommended!”
