About

Oripando Hostel

Oripando Hostel sits in the heart of Granada, a 5-minute walk from the historic Gate of Elvira and close to the lively Calle Navas. The 27-room property blends traditional Andalusian character with modern comfort — think tiled decor, a fountain in reception, and a shaded courtyard with a small pool.

Guests gather in the shared kitchen, game room, and sun terrace, or unwind in the garden and TV lounge. The hostel is especially praised for its friendly staff, spotless facilities, and the two resident dogs — and a cat — that add to the homely feel.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Smoking only in designated areas — Smoking is permitted, but only in specific outdoor zones — not in rooms or common indoor spaces.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Guests must check in between 14:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
  • Dormitory-only accommodation — With no private rooms listed, the hostel suits budget travelers and backpackers rather than those seeking solitude.
