About

4U Hostel

4U Hostel sits on Calle Coches De San Matias, about 400 metres from the Cine Madrigal Cinema and a short walk from the San Juan de Dios Museum. The building holds 23 rooms across a mix of shared dorms and private options, all set over several floors with a lift. The atmosphere is bright and contemporary, with a restaurant, bar and a rooftop terrace where guests gather.

The hostel runs a 24-hour front desk with express check-in and check-out, a concierge desk and tours and ticket assistance. There's a shared kitchen, a TV lounge and free Wi-Fi in every room. For those driving, the area is central, though parking in Granada's old town can be tricky; it's best to plan ahead. The hostel is entirely non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Central location for sightseeing — Guests consistently praise the location – within walking distance of the Cathedral, Alhambra, bars and restaurants.
  • Modern, clean rooms and common areas — The hostel is described as brand new, spotless and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and private bathrooms in some rooms.
  • Friendly and helpful staff — Staff receive frequent mention for being welcoming, offering good local tips, and handling difficult situations responsibly.
  • Great value for money — With prices from £15 and an excellent guest rating, this hostel is seen as a worthwhile budget pick.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Top bunks can be awkward — Several guests note that climbing to the top bunk is a bit tricky, which might matter if you have mobility concerns.
  • No on-site parking — Like many central Granada properties, there's no parking mentioned – if you arrive by car, plan to park elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is from 14:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals outside this window could be an issue.
  • Roof terrace can be quiet — One guest wished the rooftop was busier; it's a nice spot but not always a lively social scene.
