Liked: The hostel is located very central (5-10 min to city center walking) and easy to reach from the train or the bus station. There is a kitchen with a fridge where you can cook and keep your stuff. The hostel also offers a nice breakfast with bread, cornflakes, juice, coffee or milk. All locks can be opened with one card, so you don't have to carry keys for rooms, lockers and other doors.

Disliked: The common room (also eating room) and the kitchen are a bit small. If the hostel is full there won't be much space for all. The bathrooms are integrated in the sleeping rooms, that means that you have to wait your room mates even if you only want to brush your teeth or wash your hands.

28 January 2011

Liked: - it was close to the city centre - you could get easily and quickly to the most important places in Seville incl. the Cathedral, shopping areas, resaturants, bars, clubs, cafes... - they offered (along with the other hostels in Seville) nice attractions for the guests like Flamenco shows, tapas tours, pub crawls for reasonable prices. there was a daily free walking tour as well - this one was actually really cool and totally worth trying! - there are lockers in the rooms that are included in the price - they use a really good system using the cards for opening the doors and lockers! it's secure!!

Disliked: - no heating... Sevilla is hot but not always... it was pretty cold in the rooms - the internet did not work during my whole stay - I had some troubles when I got there (the lockers, basically... ) but the staff managed it really decently after all!

24 January 2011

Liked: A good location

Disliked: The dorms were very basic & very cold at night.

21 January 2011

Liked: Not much. Breakfast was good for the price. Our dorm room was spacious.

Disliked: Room was freezing. Internet didn't work the entire 2 day stay, and staff couldn't have cared less. When our beds were taken in the room assigned, the staff wanted us to take two beds on opposite sides of the very cramped dorm room. After we agreed, he said "we have to change your room anyways because the lockers don't work in this room." In the new room, only 1 of our lockers worked. Only saw one bathroom per dorm room. Small eating area (we had to eat in the lobby).

Liked: The walking tour

Disliked: The hostel did not have internet for the three days that I was there, which was inconvenient and also listed as one of the services they were supposed to provide.

07 January 2011 Lotte would recommend this property

Liked: What I really liked about the place was the location, the lockers and the activities that were aranged by the hostel with other hostels. The free walking tour, guided by a student from Peru was really good. He gave us a lot of specific information about the history of Seville in a fun way. In the evening the guide Brian also took us to a tapas tour and a bar crawl which included very good Spanisch food & drinks. It was also a good occasion to meet other travellers in Seville!

Disliked: none

23 December 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff was really friendly, especially Gledson and Aija.

Disliked: The cleanliness wasn't the best. Actually, the cleaning staff did not speak neither English nor Spanish so it was really hard to communicate. It seems as if the hostel had been quite good in the past or during summer-time so it's kind of abandoned in winter...

27 November 2010

Liked: the only good is the locker in dorm. NOTHING more than this. Believe me!

Disliked: Everything. First the staffs were not very helpful. Give me a wrong direction and make me cant buy what i want. The staffs only doing their own thing and never put the customer in priority. I been wait for 15min to check in because the staff talk to each other. The staffs on night shift seems unwilling to talk to the people there, just sit in the counter and playing facebook. when you ask him infomation, cant be bothered to answer you and not helpful and friendly at all. the worst thing is the bedroom, the worst dorm i have seen in my backpacking experience. it's dirty and the lower level of bunk beds are literally on the floor. my small 6-dorm room (3m x 2.5m) comes with 3 bunk beds, which is too cramped, hardly any space to pack your things if it was fully occupied. reception and kitchen closed at 11pm.

Liked: good location, good staff one of the easier hostels to find in Sevilla.

Disliked: the ensuite bathrooms cause a problem being that the room is almost always damp and if you are anything like me that is one of the worst feelings to try and sleep in.

Liked: location, services, breakfast was goood

Disliked: kitchen was far too small to accommodate everyone staying at the hostel, very cramped even with 2 people in there, and only 2 hot plates. Common room was also small and awkwardly set up and no where really to relax. Wifi was also unavailable

10 November 2010

Liked: i liked the ensuite bathroom and the staff were amazing. really helpful and lovely.

Disliked: the security. the lockers were all hi tech but some of them had their locks ripped out which didn't do much to make me feel it was safe. also, the kitchen was this tiny little room that didn't smell the best. it was just not what we expected but for price not bad i guess.
