Reviews of Triana Backpackers

24 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is in Triana, a pretty quaint area across the river from Seville´s "main sights." The hostel is three streets back from a road lined with bars and restaurants and, as a consequence, the whole area has a real buzz to it. The building itself is brilliantly Andalucian in character; we loved the Moorish tiles and plants everywhere. The rooms were clean and, unlike the majority of hostels I´ve stayed in, had ample storage: lockable lockers, a huge chest of drawers, hooks and a shelving unit - and that was only in a 4-bed room. The communal area was brilliant...with 3 computers, sofas, tables and games, it was a great place to meet interesting people, as well as on the roof terrace with its hammocks. The rooms were clean, as were the bathrooms and the staff were very helpful. I travelled with 2 people who had never used hostels before (!!!) and they were both suitably impressed. Definitely one to recommend!

Disliked: Bit of a random criticism, but the one thing I would suggest would be to put soap in the bathrooms...it´s the #1 thing that most travellers don´t think to bring and hygiene is important!

Liked: Great location. Triana is a great area of Seville to be in

Disliked: The Germans who came into the dorm room at 5am & decided to carry on chatting. C'mon folks, have some respect for other people.

Liked: beautiful building!

Disliked: the staff hardly spoke english and were quite rude! the organized events are organized by someone else, if you want to join later on its basically impossible becaue the staff dont have contact with the organizors

Liked: I liked the hostel in general. It was clean and good-looking. The staff was friendly enough and helpful

Disliked: A bit far from the city centre, and I would have expected a richer desayuno (there were only toasts, marmelades, butter and juices in the 4 days I spent there) Furthermore, generally speaking I would advice all of you to take a 4-bed room: the 6-bed gets easily too stuffy and noisy

17 May 2011 Brenda would recommend this property

Liked: Had a great time here. This is a beautiful hostel and very relaxing, especially in the hammocks on the roof terrace. Shame the hot tub was not on though. Very helpful staff and fantastic place to meet people. Larger dorms are probably better as 6 bed did not have too much room for your stuff especially if you were on top bunk. However would definitely recommend here and will be going back ! Great location and loved Triana region too.

Liked: Amazing terrace

Disliked: We had the misfortune of having 50+ 20yo students which "savaged" the breakfast and did not leave the bathrooms clean at all, but then again this is not the hostel's fault...

16 April 2011 IANA would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is situated near the center of the city. The atmosthere is vivid and nice. All around there're a lot of classical bars with tapas, full of cheap food and Spanish people. The hostel is clean, provides a breakfast for free, internet and a lot of facilities. I enjoyed my stay a lot!

Disliked: I didn't like a snoring man under my bed. But of coarse it's not depend on the hostel =)))

14 April 2011 Estelle would recommend this property

Liked: It is a typical sevillan house. People are very friendly as there are not too many rooms. It is clean and in a very good condition. The breakfast is generous. The terrace is very nice (with hamacs). The area is more peaceful than the other side of the Guadalquivir but is very nice, very typical. If you go to Sevilla you have to book this hostel!!!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: I liked everything, the place is very nice, clean, well situated and I also liked very much that they have activities that the guests are able to participate in, I also liked very much the Sevilla walking-tour by Jerome, he has a great way to tell the history and makes it come alive, plus he's a very nice person as well.

Disliked: Nothing really to complain about.

22 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: nicely decorated. bathrooms are really clean and you share them only with six people.

Disliked: the rooms have windows just to the courtyard, which is canopied. so air inside the rooms is pretty bad. it smelled like monkey cage.
