ATENAS GRANADA

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.

Very nice place in an excellent location. Walking distance from cathedral and plaza nueva. We stayed at a quadruple room and it was very roomy and comfortable. More like a hotel than a hostel. Would definetely return. Suggestion: PLEASE make hair dryer more available to guests.

Very nice hotel in great location. But some loud street noise both nights there. Beds good.

Nothing interesting. Close to everything but don’t stay here if you want to avoid mass tourism. Hotel not quite at all, nothing wow!

Clean, modern single room with balcony and view to Alhambra on the main street. A bit noisy but room faced side street. Close to airport bus stop. Really it's a short walk to most attractions and room had all you could need.

The Hotel was fairly easy to find from the Train station and in a quiet but good location.

A very good value for money, but the room is really dimmed (no ceiling light, with only two bedlights and one wall light). But otherwise, it is still a nice place to stay in.

We had a room on the ground floor number 3. It was like sleeping in a cave,comfortable and quiet but no windows on the outside.We were offered another room but advised that it would be very noisy. Ok.

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.
