Friendly staff and good location. Weird thing is, you have to walk through another dorm in order to get to the bathroom. There's only one computer for everyone.

Very cheap, big rooms, but the shower was terrible. Cold cold cold. But ok for the price, with breakfast and all. And there was a terrace...

It's a good place: very near to Plaza Nueva, in a quiet street, with nice and helpful staff and very inexpensive! És un bon lloc: molt a prop de la Plaza Nueva, en un carrer tranquil, un personal simpàtic i servicial, i a molt bon preu!

Nice and relaxed atmosphere with the rooftop terrace. However, lack of a lock on the room was slightly concerning.

Staff are friendly. Clean and tidy hostel. The common area is very nice, but you can't stay there (outside in the terrace) after midnight. They offer Internet Free! Negative point: to enter in a dormitory with 6 bed you need acroos the 4 bed dormitory (to go to the bathroon as well).

They do NOT have 24 hour reception!!!! Our night bus came in at 6am and the night guy told us we could leave our stuff but we could not come into the hostel and to wait till 9am.

Our night bus came in at 6am and the night guy told us we could leave our stuff but we could not come into the hostel and to wait till 9am. We had to sleep in the park in the cold. At 9 we came back and the surly girl at the front desk told us that there was no common area that we could stay in and that we would have to come back at midday. We were exhausted and she wasn't giving us anything!! When we eventuially checked in, she called someone else because she thought that she had booked someone into our beds - I was ready to kill her by this point. Then it turns out there IS a common area that we could have stayed in, they just didn't let us! The breakfast was a bit crap, and the common area is quite small, and the dorms are cramped. There are better hostels to stay in in Sevilla.close

I love this hostel and I hate it as well! We spent more than an hour walking from the main station under the 40 degree celicius weather and finally got there! But the hostel is fantastic! People here are great to share and talk to, the facilities are great too! You'll never regret staying here... more I love this hostel and I hate it as well!

Make sure to bring a lock for your luggage because there's really no place to lock it up. The hostal attracted a lot of people from different countries which created a fun atmosphere... though I'm pretty sure there were bed bugs so use your own sleeping stuff if you can.

les chambres sont tres petites, et on attend souvent pour la minuscule salle de bain. meme dans la salle commune, on se bouscule pour se frayer un chemin et on fait la file pour faire sa vaisselle parce que c est mal organise. la terrasse est joli et c est pas cher, pour une nuit c est bien,...

no water for over 9 hours the first day, staff incredibly rude and yelled at me when i asked to shower at an affiliated hostel saying it was not their fault or problem there was no water, tiny and claustrophobic dorms, anyone can access your dorm through the elevators
