Good location, friendly staff. I was in a 6-bed female dorm, really feel 4 beds would be much better as it felt very squashed, especially in the morning when everyone was trying to get up at the same time and there is only 1 shower and toilet for the room. Breakfast is great value and the coffee is really good.

Escapada a Sevilla

Reservamos una habitación doble con baño privado. Nos gusta hospedarnos en hostels, para estar cerca del centro de las ciudades y otros beneficios: cocina, etc. Nos molestó mucho la falta de respeto de los horarios de descanso nocturno. Descontrol, ruidos, gritos, golpes de puerta, en horarios de descanso nocturno. A las 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 am

Great Hostel in Central Seville with Rooftop!

Amazing hostel, friendly staff and rooftop bar was awesome! The rooftop pool as advertised is more like a swim spa, very small so dont expect to do any laps! Dorm was clean, great air con and had a private ensuite! Pub crawl was good fun but the breakfast is very average for what you get...not the best value for money. Would stay again!
