Liked: We got a 4 bed dorm at a really cheap rate, only €12 and we got a private bathroom too! Hostel is very central, right next to the Cathedral, really nice building, well taken care of! Big kitchen, dorm was spacious enough, airconditioning, definitely recommend it!
Disliked: The reception staff were quite unhelpful, didn't have answers to most of our questions and seemed unfriendly, not once did either one of them smile! Also only one person at reception at checkout time so we had a delay with that too. Room smelled a bit musty, needs to be aired out.

Liked: The beds are made everyday and the staff are quite friendly. But they don´t give you the information about the city unless you ask them. The kitchen has almost everything needed to cook anything. The breakfast is ok.
Disliked: There is only one shower room on one floor, and there are about 30 people on the first floor. You need to wait in a line in the morning.

Liked: The location. Unexpected free breakfast.
Disliked: Honestly, your money is better spent elsewhere. I'm sure you can find much better hostels for the same price... The staff are rude and unhelpful (except one female staff member who worked morning/day shift). I booked for two nights and was shuffled between two rooms. The bathroom in the first room was the smallest I've ever come across. I thought I was going to get stuck in the shower and I am not a big person. There was also no atmosphere in this place at all.

Liked: It was near anything there is to see in Seville, it's really beautiful decorated, breakfast was enough, although the etc. is marmelade. there is a nice common area with books about spain, and Andalucia.
Disliked: The shower in the room I stayed (3rd floor), was really tiny, even for spanish terms, however the shower on the ground floor was much bigger, so maybe it was just this room.

Liked: Nice poetic setup, in the very heart of Sevilla. Giralda tower seen from the 2nd floor balcony.
Disliked: Some facilities have minor imperfections. My door knob first got stuck and I was locked inside, then it could not be locked, so I kind of barricaded the room for night (although no signs for any level of theft). But I did not thought of it as critical and with limited time visit I did not want to spend time solving these issues, I rather went out. Lockers in the room will be a good idea. Similarly, cereals dispenser and coffee maker for breakfast were kind of malfunctioning. The coffee ran around the glass jug and cereals had to be scooped from the top of the storage container, the batch revolving bottow was not working. But those things did not upset me (I am not a coffee drinker).
