great location, right next to alcazar and cathedral...really really too hot in the summer...the last night there i woke up every single hour bc of the horrible heat and no air conditioning, definitely more a younger crowd 18-22 years. the upstairs patio kitchen was so disgusting bc of the partying the night before that I never ate the free breakfast offered. However, for a 20-something, this hostel must be a lot of fun!

The hostel has a great location. I used Google Map and was able to find hostel with no problems at all. Just take your time when looking for the street names. The bedroom and bathroom were modern, clean, inviting and well lighted. I had my fears about staying in a six bed room but people are so taken with the city, you will all probably be in and out of the room at different times. The AC was a blessing as Seville was rediculously hot. The internet is a plus but not necessary for me. But there were always people on the computers, which was annoying as my room was located on the first floor with the stairwell and computer on the other side of the wall. There were constantly people walking up and down (obviously as it is a hostel) and the computer was a real pulling point so I could constantly hear people chatting. But, this was the only downside to my stay. I would STRONGLY recommend this hostel, it is value for money and those who are complaining about the establishment should perhaps pay for a hotel the next time they visit Seville.

the bathrooms and rooms were very clean and the location is wonderful. the directions on how to get to the property were a bit confusing, however. if getting out of the bus station or metro, just take the tram to the prado de san sebastion and it´s a quick walk from there. also, make sure you lock up all your valuables, when we were there some money was stolen from one of the bags from someone´s room. breakfast could have been better but staff was quite kind and the air conditioning was wonderful. overall highly recommended.

A very modern and eloquent hostel with an excellent location in beautiful Seville. The rooftop dinning area is a particularly sweet bonus and the skylight/spiral staircase in the main lobby gives the hostel unique character.

Rooms were clean, but they were very warm. There are some rooms with airco, but ours wasn't so that was a real pity. And it can be noisy with cleaning trucks during the night. Otherwise great staff, great location, great hostel! Very nice roof terras with kitchen.

Good location and character. Breakfast was fair though opened late! Dorms were small for the 4bed rooms. Ladies - make sure you choose the female dorms as the mixed dorms had no air con!

the location was fantastic, but apart from that there was not too much... hostel itself is ok nothing special and there is no real area to meet people apart from the kitchen which is ridiculosuly hot in the middle of summer.

A great place, amazingly for 10 euro. Don´t let the price fool you because this place was better than my thirty euro hostel! I recommend this place to anyone, because its just 30 seconds from the cathedral walking and has a great atmosphere. Beautiful building too and comfy beds. Free internet, flamenco dance discounts and huge beds! Stay here!
