Oasis Hostel

Granada


A five-minute walk from the main square, this hostel is a Granada institution. It's extremely well run, with numerous daily shuttles and activities, and the owners are really clued-up about backpacker needs: there is generous locker space, free international phone calls, kitchen, ample breakfast and more. Rooms are basic, but then they're not the main attraction here.
