Not for light sleepers!
Friendly and helpful staffs. Sits in the old district and you can walk to all the places of interest, including the Alhambra. The only thing is there are a roll of restaurants underneath. You can hear the people talking loudly when they were eating and drinking. Apparently the restaurant downstairs also owns the hostal and you can get 10% off if you eat there. Great hot water supply and strong wifi. If you are doing solo and want a single bed room, you will be staying in front and above the restaurants. Oh, they have lots of ear plugs if you need them. Otherwise, great place and top value for money.

Thanks for your valuable review and feebdack. We are sorry about the noise, the rooms facing the street can get a bit loud until midnight as we are located in a very central street full of bars. As you mention, we provide free earplugs and we also have quieter rooms facing the inside courtyard.

Pleasant family run Hostel.
We really loved staying here. Paco & his family were so helpful. He told us all the best places to visit and marked everywhere out on a Map. The bedroom was very tiny but the beds were very comfortable & bedding was spotless! The shower room was also tiny but adequate. The shower base/ surround was a bit tatty but other than that can't fault the place. We only ate tapas there one night but had drinks both nights. The service we received was friendly from Sophia ( daughter) We were very pleased we chose the central location of this hostel and are very happy to recommend to others looking for accomodation at a very reasonable cost.

Excellent value for money.
Hostel Navas 14 was located very centrally on Tapas Alley in Granada. The room was small but suited our needs perfectly as it was only a base as we were too busy sightseeing and enjoying all that Granada has to offer. You cannot expect to stay in such a central location without noise but earplugs solved the problem at bedtime. The room was spotlessly clean and the staff were very friendly and humoured our attempts at Spanish. Would have no hesitation in recommending this little gem and look forward to our next visit.

Nice location but noisy
Location of this hotel is ideal. Staff is nice as well but it's on the main street. I didn't mind the noise of bars downstairs as they all close by mid night but it's early morning noise which really bothered me when they do deliveries. If noise doesn't bother you then this hotel might work for you.

Above a large amount of restaurants, so when going to sleep after a long day of walking and sight seeing, the whole area is very noisy with the locals coming out to eat and drink and socialise. Room was good overall.

Simple place to stay in the middle of the city
The room was OK, the window didn't close properly so the noise from the street makes it difficult to sleep, the owner told me not to smoke (I don't, actually hate the smell), but the room smelled of smoke, it seems like most people don't care. He should enforce that. They don't clean the room daily if you stay several days. The bed cover seems not to be cleaned, even in between guests. Location is good.

Noisy restaurant
Being close to the ferry is the best feature. The hotel has seen better days and it shows easily. They have a restaurantbin the veranda, with a good view of the bay, the problem is that the service is until late and if you are facing the sea, you get all the noice of the chater of people using the restaurant. Again for a short stay and early departure on the ferry, it is the best, otherwise, I do not recomend it.
Response from Francisco on Aug 16, 2014
Dear Sir/Madam. We are very sorry but we think that your comments are wrong because we are in the city of Granada (Spain) and there is no bay here (coast is 75 kilometres from Granada) and obviously, there are no ferries.

great tapas!
for the location and friendliness of the staff, tops! the only drawback is that it also is a tapas bar and will be noisy all night. If you want peace and quiet, this is not the place, if you want to sample spanish tapas bar/ nightlife this is it!

Good deal in Granada
I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly, in true Andalusian manner. The room was tiny, but I was only in it to sleep, so it didn't really bother me. It was clean and having a bathroom in my room was a plus. The street gets a little noisy since there are a lot of tapas bars around. But that's also a major plus. There's a lot of action and it's near a lot of the historical attractions (five minutes to Plaza Nueva and the street leading up the Albayzin, ten minutes to the Alhambra) and downtown shopping. Granada is a magical city and having a pleasant place to lay my head when I got back from sightseeing made it all the more pleasant.

Séjour très agréable. Emplacement de l’hôtel idéal. Très bon accueil. Enregistrement rapide. J’ai pu demander d’avoir une chambre sur l’arrière pour le calme car l’hôtel donne sur une rue piétonne avec restos et bars donc c’est animé ! Seul bémol, la literie !!!
