Probably one of the best hostels I have been at. Too bad it was only for 1 night. The one thing that I wish was different was the bathroom situation. Sort of a scavenger hunt for open bathrooms. Really liked it and everyone (especially Valentina) was super helpful. Plus, a FREE sangria!

Great spot! The location is very good, the beds are comfy, and the drink specials and free sangria at the bar are awesome! My friend and I had a blast in Seville.

Great atmosphere, very friendly, people hang around the free sangia in the evenings not only for free drinks but great company. One person in our group had a misplaced passport issue and Valentina provided incredible attention and service until it was recovered. Sheis the BEST staffer ever, can't thank her enough! We are returning in a few days and can't wait to be back!

This hostel is bad a$$. Really really cool staff and great charming atmosphere. Great with helping you and including you in activities. I felt like I was at home with my friends! The beds/rooms/showers are very hostel normal. They try really hard to keep everyone quiet after midnight and the location is PERFECT!

I'ts a hell to sleep in a room where air doesn't circulate (Room 1 - no window at all!). Even if he have a fan the odors remain inside the room. Could you figure out how we sleep with roomies with smelly foot around..... ??

Obviously this hostel has everything you need and even more. It is great for solo, duo or group travellers from 18 to 28 years old. I mean, the place is perfect, you feel like home, the staff is ubber helpful and nice. The atmosphere is really open and welcoming and I mean the rooms are like any other dorm rooms. The bed was clean and cozy, the lockers were safe and the people were respectful and the hostel is well located. So nothing else to say than : you know it's the place to go in Sevilla.

Great hostel, very sociable. Free sangria hour made it easier to meet people. The place was clean and tidy. Location is not quite that close to the main attractions in Sevilla but not that far away either.

Friendly staff and nice common room where I had a lot of laughs. Nice kitchen and it was cool that there was a spot in the fridge and a cabinet where you could leave groceries that you didn't need yourself anymore. Sharing is what makes the world a better place :)
