Solana de Granada - Outdoor & Climbing Hostel

“We stayed for 5 nights around NY in the caravan, shared the two bathrooms and two kitchens with everyone. We assumed the toilet would work in the caravan because of the picture of the caravan bathroom we were sent and the fact that we were offered this option as an upgrade from the private room for more privacy The toilet was not operational so we were a bit sad to discover that once there. We used the shared bathrooms and that was fine just a bit faffier to plan it and carry stuff across in the hope the showers/toilets were free. I echo all the nice stuff everyone has said. I appreciated the spacious, incredibly well equipped kitchen and the available coffee and teas too! It happened to be super cold when we visited and the caravan is poorly insulated so we really felt the cold overnight as if we were in an oversized tent. But the staff helped us to stay warm by providing an electric fan heater which was great. We look forward to visiting again, but we would personally opt for the private room.”

“I stayed at this hostel with a group of friends for 1 night. The vibe of the place is very friendly, welcoming and laid back. A bonus is that there was a party on the night in which we stayed at - that was super fun. Thanks to Edu for a great course introducing us to climbing outdoors!”

“The place is such a good vibe! I stayed for a month, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, the climbing starts in the garden behind the hostel and extends to the whole area, great rock, many beautiful hikes around. The hostel is a great place to relax, socialize and meet new people. Excellent sunset spot just behind the hostel. Loved my stay!”

“I thank Janka, volunteers and other climbers for a memorable stay! Staff and volunteers were very welcoming and helpful. I recommend especially for climbers! Great location, accessible with public transport. I came alone, had no trouble finding climbing company. There are boulder crags just behind the hostel (not in 27crags, there are topos at the hostel). I am updating my review, as I came again and took a course. I recommend the climbing courses, it was definitely worth it. I got individual and comprehensive guidence for sport climbing and technique guidence specifically directed surveying my weaknesses in my climbing style. I was encouraged to climb harder I thought I would or could! The nature around is very beautiful for walks too! Comfortable beds and cushions!”

“I’ve stayed in over 50 different hostels and I think this is my absolute favourite. It has such a sense of community, it is beautiful, so easy to get to (€2 from Granada) and has amazing staff and volunteers. Whether you’re a climber or just a backpacker who loves the outdoors this place is worth the visit.”

“I had an amazing time staying here during my trip through Spain. The staff was very welcoming, and the hostel is located in a beautiful spot with a scenic view of the landscape, and cliffs that are right next to it. I felt like I could truly relax here. The climbing in the area was also fantastic, with ranges of difficulty for all skill level. Staying here was the highlight of my trip!”

“One of the best hostels I've stayed out. Everyone immediately felt like I'd known them for years. Incredibly relaxing, non- judgmental, warm, outgoing and beautiful. Went in the off-season so it was a slower pace due to the heat, which ended up being really relaxing. The volunteers were some of the best hostel volunteers you can find. Really enjoyed the beagle, sunset view, and family dinners in the garden. Only complaint was how hot the room was at night even with the door and window open. Would recommend them getting extra fans. Would love to come back and stay longer!”

“My stay at Solana was truly wonderful! I enjoyed the beautiful garden and house, the calmness and peace, the hikes in the area around the hostel and even had the chance to try climbing for the first time! The people at Solana encouraged me and made me feel very safe while trying After weeks of travelling I felt so homey here that extended my stay multiple times. I am very happy I had the chance to meet amazing people here. The staff (volunteers, the owner, and manager) are really kind, open, funny and always ready to help wherever they can. <3 Muchas gracias por todo!!”
