Sevilla inn was an awesome choice. Nice staff, knowledgeable about the city, clean hostel, amazing terrace. They have events going on for the guests everyday and a dinner on the terrace pretty much everynight. The location is unbeatable with being in the city center surrounded by restaurants and bars. You will not be disappointed with Sevilla inn!

It was my first time staying at a hostel. I liked it! It was in a really good location, friendly environment, the beds were comfy, and the bathrooms were clean. Staff was helpful giving directions and helping you with anything else. They give free tours every day and there's other events going on throughout the week like learning how to make paella then eating it. I would recommend it!

We were very pleasantly surprised by our stay here. Hostel is on a very bustling street (but pleasantly so- tapas bars etc.) at the end of which looms the beautiful cathedral. The building itself is large and runs over 3 floors. Common room has comfy couches and a tv, kitchen is great but can get a bit crowded at times. Roof top terrace was an AMAZING feature! Lockers in rooms are flimsy and unconvincing. Staff were great- thanks Claudia, and the hostel ran lots of cool activities- stay here!

This was a great hostel! We stayed in the private double so I can't comment on the dorm rooms, but the whole hotel itself was fabulous. Tons of amenities and all the communal spaces were awesome (especially the rooftop terrace!). Lots of fun activities available at the hostel and the location is unbeatable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

If your looking for an inexpensive double room, with nice beds or at least beds that don't break your back, with doors that can be locked and staff that can help you when you have some problems, DON'T go to Sevilla Inn Backpackers.

Excellent location in the heart of Barrio Santa Cruz, just few minutes away from the Cathedral and Alcazar. The hostel was half empty (I was hosted in a 6 beds dorm and I was all alone). Sheets were clean and just changed. Bathroom was big and clean. Lockers available in the rooms. 24 hours reception. Cool rooftop.

Nice hostel in the centre of Sevilla ( 1 min from the Cathedral) . They organise lots of events, and the staff were very helpful. THe only drawback is there is no wifi in the Annex across the road.

The location of the hostel is nice because it is in Saint Cruz. It is very convenient for you to go sightseeing around from here. There are a lot of bars & restaurant around during the night. The hostel also provide some events like city tour, paelle trial etc. You can know friends around. It was a nice stay there.

The hostel is very close to the cathedral and santa cruz, my favourite part of the city. after getting lost in the small streets you just relax in the nearby parks or go up to the rooftop terrace with a cold drink and have a chat with people. there's always something to do (they offer a lot of extra activities - i especially liked the two different free walking tours!) and always someone around to talk to. staff is really helpful with tips and tricks around seville and the hostel is very clean.

The staff is composed by people who is looking for a free bed to sleep in Sevilla. Therefore, they forget about important remarks, i.e., you have to remove yourself the bed clothing and handle it before leaving. They can't give you useful information about the city, i.e., prize of a taxi ride. And they don't always talk Spanish?! Also, the parties in the terrace don't finish at 23h as promised, with people from outside the hostel. Definitely, not professional, not secure and very disappointing.

Im sorry to hear that we disapointed you during your stay with us. It is true we have some helpers in the hostel that help us with cleaning chores but they are not our receptionists. Im sorry to hear you were not directed to the reception to answer your questions as they are all spanish speakers who know A LOT about seville and any information you are seeking. As for the parties on the rooftop, you are correct, on Wed we keep the bar open until midnight. we will make sure to inform future guests of this. Thanks again for your feedback.

I had a fantastic stay in Sevilla Inn. The location is perfect, very close to beautiful parks, the cathedral and lots of cafes and bars. The hostel is very clean and full of character. The atmosphere is very welcoming and social.There are plenty of extra activities you can do from the hostel such as pub crawls, paellas, bbq and flamenco shows.The price is also very cheap, considering its location and not to mention the free breakfasts! I would definitely reccomend staying at Sevilla Inn.

The hostel is in a great location, breakfast is average, the staff were helpful but when we asked to stay another night, as we checked in, apparently saying we would like to was not enough. We then had to find an alternative location that was much nicer, in short go to Oasis.

I had a really nice stay at Sevilla Inn Backpackers and enjoyed the events they were offering there, especially the free walking tour with Filippo and the Nightlife tour with Juan.
