80%Hostal Doña Pepa

Finding affordable accomodation in Sevilla seems to be quite difficult. I paid 30 euros per night, which is reasonable. The owner was very friendly and helpful, although he doesn't speak English (but this is common problem in Spain). Rooms are small, but clean.

Every time that you left, you had to leave your key behind and just ring the bell whenever you wanted to come back.

The water was hot though in the shower! but there was only one bathroom for the whole place. While I was showering once, the maid kept trying to come in and clean... :(close

Good if you are on a budget. Somewhat far from main touristy parts of town, but a quick ride away from those areas on SEVICI (Public bikes around Seville).

The place was nice, only 20 minute walk to most of the attractions. It was a little annoying having to buzz to get in everytime though. Definitely not a young person vibe though.

I feel disappointed about the staff manner and the service they provided. Their English standard is very poor and even did not understand what I explained to them. Well, I failed to catch up the train late that day and surely would come later than the normal check-in time.

Well, I failed to catch up the train late that day and surely would come later than the normal check-in time. So, I called them to keep the room. The person who answered the phone promised to keep the room for me. However, when I went there and found that the hostel was full and the owner gave my room to other guests. This really upset me and I can't imagine that I had to wander around to find a hotel (obviously, an expensive one) in the late mid-night in Seville (you know.. this was my first place to travel and my first accomodation in Spain). Well, I do have to thanks them in a circumstance that, I did finally get a very wonderful and comfortable hotel bedroom at 2am. Otherwise, I never know there are plenty professional hotels in Seville. At least, they won't ask their guests with reservation out in the mid-night. Anyway, recommend you dont go there unless you know Spanish.close

Would recommend. Cheap accomodation, location not too far out of town, clean rooms, with air-con which was needed even in October.

Ok location, close to train station. Had lots of character, staff had minimal english but ok, appeared nice but didn´t offer to help with heavy luggage up 70 stairs (yes i counted), that was very difficult. They also don´t have any internet access like the website says and staff knows... more Ok location, close to train station.

Nice pension with air/con and fairly close to the train station, but is at least 15 mins walk to the town center, and 30 mins to the bus station.

Nice place. Bit far from the centre and not the place to go to meet people & have fun. There were also a good few ants in our room.

Nice place, and conveniently very close to the train station, but it might have been fun to stay a little closer to the center of town so it didn't seem like a waste of time to get back for an afternoon (sun-escaping) siesta... But it was a nice room, nice staff, and very clean, so no complaints...

Except for being in walking distance of Santa Justa Train station, everything else is walkable but still too far away... Seville is not well connected by metro (yet) so a place closer to the main sights is wanting; can't imagine walking in the summer.

Seville is not well connected by metro (yet) so a place closer to the main sights is wanting; can't imagine walking in the summer. Family staff were cordial but don't speak much English (except the boss), neither could they do much about the mix-up caused by the Hostelworld system: the hostal had a requrement to book minimum 3 nights during the Feria festival in specific blocks during the week; didn't match my request through hostelworld, whose system conveniently adjusted my dates without making clear highlight. Ended up paying for a night that i didn't stay there and had to search elsewhere for another night's stay. Exorbitant rates during Feria did not make this go down well.... My oversight, hostal's inflexibility, and hostelworld's incapabilities to blame. Make sure you double check your dates before you confirm your booking here during festivals! Place is otherwise clean and secure. There is NO laundry here as claimed (it's down the street with typical spanish opening hours).close

Not really in the heart of Sevilla, but within walking distance (10-15 minutes). It is very clean and the staff is very friendly.
