The Garden Backpacker Reviews

This is a great hostel to stay at in Sevilla! It has a wonderful bar and is a great place to meet people! It also has awesome activities, pub crawl, several different walking tours that are great, and day trips. My only complaint is not enough bathrooms and showers, it's a bit difficult in the morning when everyone is trying to use them. Other then that it's a wonderful hostel!

This was my second stay here inside of a week, and it didn't disappoint. The staff all remembered me, and called me by name, and recommended some fabulous restaurants for my final nights in Seville. A friend from a different hostel came to visit me, but I was out, but he was brought inside and made welcome so he could wait for me. The only teensy flaw this time was that the lock on my locker was faulty, but they made arrangements to have it fixed straight away. Would highly recommend!

Staying at the Garden made a world of difference towards ensuring that I made the most of my short time in Seville. The staff and the tour guides they work with are bar none the best I´ve encountered re: friendliness (Valentina, Mehdi and Manuel to name a few). Very relaxed environment ideal for solo travellers who want to meet people, the dinners and free sangria facilitated this very well. Tapas tour and bar crawl were a blast. Breakfast was good for a free one.

Really nice staff and hostel. Neat decor and nice garden area. Free good sangria for an hour at night. There were crepe batter in the morning to make your own. Two different free walking tours with Fillipo was fun and informative. Could use a few more implements and upgrades for the kitchen, like sharp small knives and more pans. Wifi was intermittent. Was nice that the garden shut down at midnight so quiet for sleeping. Could use little things like hooks and shower head wall attachment.

It was the greates hostel i've stayed at so fare and it's going to be tough for other hostels to beat The Garden Packpacker hostel in atmosphere, staff and their way of getting people from all over the world together in a great enviroment.

Guys you were fantastic! My bf still is in awe with how cool the hostel experience in Seville was. I wish the weather was better, but as far as we were concerned with your services- you were Fantastic! Danni, Lola, Cisco and other staff members- helpful, smiley and enthusiastic, just what you need for a good getaway. We will definitely be back, and we will make sure to book in with you!!! Keep up the spirits! and Come to visit us in Galway! Writting newcomer's names on the board is so welcoming!

This hostel was great! Especially for socializing! They offer free Sangria everyday from 8pm to 9pm and do free walking tours. The staff is also very knowledgeable of Seville and places to go out and eat. The showers were clean and the water heat and pressure was great--which means a lot when you've been traveling for a while. Really take advantage of the atmosphere and sit in the common area outdoors and chat up other people and exchange info.

very nice hostel. great staff. great value for the cost.

The staff here are amazing, so friendly (multi lingual) and always ready to hook you up with the best parts of the city, not just the tourist experience. Probably the best hostel experience I've ever had.

The atmosphere and welcoming nature of the staff were great! MEDI IS THE BOMB. best.tours.ever. However, the rooms were definitely a bit crowded and the bathrooms were if not average, below average, in terms of cleanliness and quality.

A really cool hostel, and the garden courtyard is a great feature. Loved the one hour of free sangria and cheap bar. Most of the staff were exceptional. Overall an excellent hostel. Breakfast is fairly basic but standard for a hostel. Everything else is excellent. I Highly recommend this place.

Really enjoyed our stay there! Very nice and helpful staff with good visits/shows recommendations!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. A great place to stay because it is easy to meet people with free sangria in the garden each evening.

free sangria;)

great hostel with awesome people, I would love to come back one day!

No elevator, so don't bring a heavy bag. Awesome staff, very friendly.

i will tell my friends if they are going to visit sevilla, definitely stay in the garden backpacker hostel!!!!!!

Really good hostel, seemed to have everything you would need - from a guitar to jam to a hammock on the roof terrace! Fun hostel, with great facilities, good wifi, and outdoor bar and garden area.

This was my first time at a hostel and the Garden backpacker left a very good impression. Lovely staff, the place was clean and had a great atmosphere. Useful advice on tours and activities - all staff well informed and eager to help. The garden courtyard offers great comfort and a great place to sit, relax, chat and play...

Great hostel. I'm blanking on the name of the Italian guy working the front desk but he was super helpful when I checked in. Nice garden in the back and a cool rooftop (which gets overlooked b/c of the garden). They organize events on most of the days, which are nice as well. Good location, pretty central within the city - easy to walk to the main tourist sites.
