The location was fantastic! I was in Seville on my own and the other people in the hostel weren't too friendly but Sal, the owner was really friendly (if you can speak spanish that is) I'll be going back to Seville as I fell in love with it and I would definitely stay there again.

Great value for money, not sure if this is normal in Spain but all the staff smoke in the building, including the cleaners making beds and cleaning bathrooms...

It was really close to everything. The staff is not really helpful, there's no air conditionnin, and they are pretty slow to repair thing that should take 5 min to do. Otherwise, I do recomand this place because it was really clean, safe and a nice place to stay.

Hostel was very clean and comfy but the guy running the place spoke no english and took so long just to check us in. Good value for money and in quiet area. 5 minute car ride to main bus station.

The price was great. Location (less than 3mins walk from the Cathedral) is excellent. Upstairs kitchen/terrace with good atmosphere. However, the sprinkler system that comes on and sprays you in the face is not so great! Especially when it is raining. Nor is the fact that the milk with breakfast was never cold. There doesn't seem to be much organisation happening here. However, it is a fabulous place to meet people, and despite the hitches, I had a great time.

My dorm was next to the terrace, so it could get noisy, but had air conditioning.

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.
