White Nest Granada is a hostel in the Albaicín, the hillside Moorish quarter, at Calle Santísimo San Pedro 4. About 8 minutes on foot from Plaza Nueva and 13 from Granada Cathedral.
White Nest Granada is a hostel in the Albaicín, the hillside Moorish quarter of Granada in Andalusia, southern Spain. It is located at Calle Santísimo San Pedro 4 in the upper part of the neighbourhood, a district of whitewashed houses, narrow lanes and carmen gardens that is protected as part of the Alhambra, Generalife and Albayzín World Heritage listing. Plaza Nueva is about eight minutes on foot, though the walk back uphill takes longer, and Granada Cathedral is about thirteen minutes away.
The Albaicín setting is the main reason to stay here. The quarter retains the layout of the medieval Nasrid city, with lanes too narrow for most vehicles, and miradores such as San Nicolás and San Cristóbal offer views across to the Alhambra. Visitors staying in the area often walk to the viewpoints at sunset, when the Alhambra walls turn orange, and then descend to the Darro valley for dinner. Because the streets are steep and uneven, light luggage is much easier to manage than large suitcases.
The hostel offers dorm beds and private rooms, with air conditioning listed among the amenities. Prices are in the range of about 20 to 50 euros per bed per night, depending on room type and season. Hostels of this kind generally provide shared bathrooms in dorms, a common area and basic reception support. Breakfast and dining arrangements are not detailed in the available data, but the Albaicín has many teterías, small restaurants and tapas bars within a few minutes, including the tea houses on Calle Calderería Nueva.
No spa, pool or fitness facilities are listed. The service character is that of a social budget hostel suited to backpackers and independent travellers rather than business guests or families wanting hotel services. Contact is by telephone on +34 958 99 47 14, and the property website is nesthostelsgranada.com. Because taxis cannot reach every Albaicín street, guests should ask the hostel for the best arrival point and walking directions before travelling.
