Nice hostal with all you need and near city centre. Nothing special but really a good choice if you have to spend some days in Seville.

we really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were really friendly. The rooms small but really clean. a little hard to find, but not too bad. We would stay here again.

I dont know why the staff insist me to bring back the TV remote which is located in my room when I check out even I have my backpack on!! He may check it out himself before let me go. Very unfriendly.

Clean room, passable if you're out most of the day and night sightseeing (very likely in gorgeous Sevilla!).close

San Francisco Hostal was great; very clean & tidy with the added bonus of air-con! I imagine not so great for travellers wishing to meet others as it is more of a hotel without common rooms/kitchens, but it was perfect for us. Very close to town centre, would highly recommend.

Near lots of cafes, a little grocery store to buy water and snacks, also an internet cafe a few blocks past hostel. When doing googlemaps etc, take care not to confuse the San Francisco Hotel with this San Francisco HoStAl. Room has airconditioning and a TV, characteristic tile flooring and decor, plus the usual amenities of a hotel room. Highly recommended, great place for siesta, rest, and relaxation.close

Real nice hostal with all you need. you have to leave the key at the hostal. But there is somebody all the time to open the door. So nobody can come in who doesn`t belong to the hotel or to the guests.

A clean room with everything you need is what you get here. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and its a good location- a short walk from the train station and all the city centre. Nothing special but nothing to complain about either!

Hostal San Francisco is a great value hostel perfectly located in the centre of Seville. The hostel has basic facilities, but it is perfect for those who spend most of their day sightseeing. The staff are friendly and the rooms are nice and clean.

Could provide a sense of community and promote meetings among guests by providing a) an internet centre b) a coffee centre. While a very nice place to stay, one can get the feeling that one is the only person there.

A really nice place to stay. I would recomend to anyone. We had a room with ensuite and the place was very well mantained. The location is excellent, within walking distance of main attractions and very good value for money considering Seville is not cheap.

the hostal is well-run and the staff friendly and helpful. one small problem: the sheets and possibly the towels seemed to be a cotton-polyester mix. i really prefer 100% cotton, which most hotels provide, even if they have a few wrinkles! otherwise a pleasant stay.

The hostel doesn't have a computer for you to use to access your email or a telephone for you to use. My roommate and I only went to the hostel to sleep and change clothes. The hostel was very clean and safe. We didn't have a key to the front door, so we had to ring the doorbell each time we came home. The staff didn't speak English very well, but enough to communicate when it mattered. My only complaint was that they tried to charge me for 2 nights when I needed to book one extra night. The staff said that they had to charge me for 2 nights because of Holy Week. I only needed to stay there on Friday, March 14 and to check out on Saturday, March 15th...well before Holy Weekclose

Another problem was that the staff removed always the soap bar, without replacing it (we asked, and they gave us, though). Apart from these meaningless details, everything was ok! I would recommend this hotel especially, if you need a convenient place, at a cheap price.close

Brilliant location! Extremely close to the most interesting parts of Seville - the Barrio de Santa cruz, The Cathedral etc. Had a wonderful time here, the staff was extremely helpful and sweet. Very clean place as well...the double room was a little small but cozy.

It was great. We paid 25 euros a piece for a private room that had a nice sized bathroom new towels (free) and beds made everyday. One of the nicest hostels I have stayed in yet. More like a hotel.

Our room had no external windows, only 1 opening into the foyer, so we felt very boxed in. We had to request bath mat, hand towels etc. even though these should always be put in the room.

We had to request bath mat, hand towels etc. even though these should always be put in the room. We relied heavily on the air con as it was 40 plus degrees outside so when the air con broke down at midnight on our last night it was literally too hot to sleep. I was very unimpressed that the staff were completely unwilling to offer us any compensation for this last night. Mainly for this reason I would not stay here again.close

Be careful when getting off airport bus.Make sure you`re at prado san sebastien and head up the slight gradient.We didn`t and hit the river,got a taxi but the driver had never heard of it.It is so small.Past the busy bars and cafes on the left,you shouldn`t miss it.

Impressed with the cleanliness. It's a good place to stay for the price. However, it is very noisy and loud at night because the sound echoes through the hallways. I recommend bringing earplugs. Otherwise, no complaints.

Not the cheapest, and pretty noisy. The rooms are fine, and the location very good. Just a note: no breakfast included, no hair dryer and no telephone in our room, even though they are listed in the description.
