A beautiful old building graced by a pillared patio, marble floors, wood-carved doors and dangling textiles has been reimagined as a colourfully contemporary budget bolthole at the foot of the Albayzín. Dorms (including one women-only) have personal lights, lockers and plugs. It's a welcoming, popular place, and the lively social scene runs from free Sacromonte tours to mojito nights.
