BRING YOUR TOWELS!!! Although the website says that they are provided, it will cost you to rent them. It's only 1 Euro though. Only one staff member really speaks English well. Breakfast is toast and cereal...pretty standard. Kitchen has a stove, microwave, and toaster oven.

Rooms were a bit small but overall my stay there was good. Breakfast was good too :) Staff was very nice and helpful with explaining things we could do for fun.

They advertise that there's wireless internet- but there is none to be found. Try down the street near the Starbucks.

The location was amazing. It was literally right behind Alcazar and the Cathedral. Though the bathroom smelled a lot, and the beds made a lot of noise. Also, breakfast started at 9 and so, I didn´t get to have any. It was okay for the price.

The hostel is really in the centre near the cathedral situated,you can arrive almost all the sights by foot. The room where my girl-friend and me lived was very very small and we shared it with another girl, so it was a little bit uncomfortable. The breakfast was ok, the staff very friendly.

So in general if you want to stay there one or two nights it is ok, but you can really only sleep in the hostel, because there is no common room except of kitchen.close

clean rooms for dirty people. breakfast mildly crappy, but free lunch sometimes. can't beat location. nice interiors, noisy beds, just one computer, though. will return gladly when back in seville.

I've stayed at a few hostels in Sevilla and am now living here. This hostel is the worst i've stayed in. The guy who works there is really unfriendly and the rooms are tiny!! there is also nowhere to keep your things. On a good note, the location is decent.

don´t stay here unless you´re a midget, otherwise you´ll never fit in the showers, or the bathroom for that matter. shower is about 2 feet squared. and of the three staff members i encountered, 2 were rude in the extreme.

5 minutes walking to the bus station in the direction of the centre of Sevilla. Safe, clean, fun, exactly what a traveller is looking for. With a few devices should be perfect (more bathrooms or showers..)
