Refugio Arrabales de la Alpujarra - Hostel, La Taha

Refugio Arrabales de la Alpujarra - Hostel is a 1-star hostel in La Taha, Granada, Spain, set along the Ctra. Orgiva a Trevelez, Pista del km17, where the Alpujarras landscape shapes the whole stay. This is the kind of place that suits solo explorers and budget travelers who want quiet, nature-led days and don’t mind keeping plans flexible. With just one guest review to date and a 2/10 rating, expectations should be set carefully; at the same time, the property’s sustainability approach and guest education on local ecosystems and culture point to a thoughtful, community-minded atmosphere.

Day trips are straightforward from here: Cueva de las Maravillas is about 15 km away for a guided cave visit, while Sierra Nevada National Park sits roughly 30 km from the hostel for hiking and mountain scenery. If you prefer village wandering, Órgiva is around 18 km and several Alpujarras villages such as Pampaneira and Capileira are within about 20–30 km, making it easy to mix viewpoints with local streets.

On-site, the terrace gives you a place to slow down after time on the road, and a fireplace in the lobby adds warmth during cooler evenings. The 24-hour front desk helps when travel runs late, and the hostel’s recycling policy plus its emphasis on avoiding single-use plastic items are part of the daily rhythm. If you’re looking for a lively social hostel, a high-comfort base, or lots of on-site services, this may feel basic; if you’re here for the mountains and the culture, it can work well.
