I made a reservation at this hostel when traveling with my sister and my mom, but when I showed up the proprietor had given our room to someone else and made no apologies about it. She said that we only wanted the room for 2 nights and she had some one else who wanted it for 4 so she gave it to them. This was infuriating considering we had just dragged our bags across town and it was a busy holiday weekend. I wouldn't recommend reserving at this place.

The hostal was clean, cheap (28 euros per night with an additional 10 euros for parking) and in an awesome location so we decided to take it. Well, we didn't sleep for two nights because we had a room on the street and buses ran up and down all night long and then at 3 or 4 in the morning a truck came by to wash the street very slowly so that it took a long time. We unfortunately had to suffer because it was too hot to close the windows (there was no AC). Be aware that they will ask you to pay up front and if they see small bills in your wallet, they will ask you for them (they did this to us - we had wanted to pay with a larger bill to get change and they would not take it because they saw that we had smaller bills). Maybe it is better in the winter when you can have the windows closed, but stay away in the summer!

The Landazuri Hostal is right on the road up to the Alhambra, friendly, convenient, clean, cheap and has a roof deck and a back patio. I recommend it for a short stay (it is a little bare bones.)
