Some of the staff were super super nice and wonderful and helpful but a couple were really not and needed to relax, smile more, and be more welcoming.

Stayed here in a private three bedroom, so it was in a separate building from the hostel. The room was fine - clean, fairly large, with a safe and shared bathroom (but there was only one other group in the building with us so basically private). The showers were pretty much see through but again there was no one there. Hostel itself was standard. A bit off the center but not very far. Close to Prado San Sebastian bus stop. The price was great. There are better hostels in Seville but it was fine.

good location, nice staff, but no enough plugs in the multi-bed room, and I have to charge my telephone and camera in the bathroom near the toilet, which is not convenient at all~

Private room with ensuite was really nice, clean, spacious - nice break from busy dorm rooms. Great atmosphere with easy access to tours and nightlife. All the services - built well for backpackers. Definately stay again.

Good place, but not my style at all, IKEA type of furniture all over, modernized to the maximum. Not an authentic hostel, but some people might not care about it, they come , party and leave. If you want that kind of loud, party place with lots of students, thats what it is. Good, helpful staff.

Main thing this hostel is missing is lockers in the rooms! They have safes, but most didnt seem to work, and they're not even big enough to fit a laptop in anyway. Apart from that, a good hostel.

Great Hostel, nice big rooms and very clean too. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I can't fault it and will be going back! It's a fun and friendly, relaxed place very close to the centre of Seville and for the price is really is unbeatable.

The staff moved very slowly and took forever to check us in. Only two of the four beds were provided with blankets. The other two only have a thin sheet. It was cold all night. My friend had some reaction to one of the beds and got a rash. Breakfast wasn't worth it for the 2.50 euro.

Samay has absolut atmosphere, it depending on your budget if you sleep dormitary or in the 2 persons room but its ideal in santa cruz dont forget the live flamenco at the carboneria and to eat in carmella good tapas. In the night just 20 meter from the hotel you can eat or have a coffee for little price. Its not to far from the station and the bus to the airport is 1 km away (2.50) The staf in the hotel is super helpfull and sweet, just what you need to make your trip in Sevilla bueno.

Really decent hostel in the centre of town with it just a short walk from many of they key historic features the town has to offer. There are also some awesome bars to be found just a short distance away. Great walking tours that allow you explore the local surroundings leave the hostel daily, but if you prefer to explore at your own pace it's easy enough to figure out. Friendly staff who are more than happy to help.

Pretty cool free historic tour..the tour lady must be a historian! Met great people..had big doubleroom with ensuite to myself (even cheaper that what I normally pay in hotels) and this place had a good vibe so think will do more of this..thanks people.

I had a great time at Samay. The staff was really chill and the hostel itself was in an awesome spot with great activities. I did the walking tour and the pub crawl (great bars in Sevilla, btw!). I'll have to come back in the summertime to get the whole experience with the rooftop patio!

I stayed in ensuite room and had to fight with the room door to open. reason staff told me is that doors are newly painted :). so what you can't get away with the problem sayin that while customer is payin 91 euros per night. first night was living like in north pole. next morning i asked the staff and a lady said there is a rule in Spain that you cannot raise the temperature till 30 degree centigrade in hotels and hotels. what a rubbish.
