I had the best stay at The Garden, it's definitely the best hostel I've stayed in. The staff are super friendly, there are really nice common areas, and great facilities. I had a bad experience talking to a rude and impatient customer service person at a bus company over the phone in my decent-but-not-perfect Spanish, and the staff called them back for me and sorted it out and generally went out of their way to help. Would definitely go back and definitely recommend it!

I loved this hostel! One of the best I've stayed at! The staff is fun, friendly, and great overall. My only complaint would be that the lockers are a bit small to hold everything you bring, but they are big enough for the most important things, so no big deal! We did the paella night and free sangria, which was a great deal and a great way to meet people. Breakfast was pretty good, with toast, cereal, and things to make your own crepes. I really enjoyed my it and would tell anyone to stay here

Absolutely fantastic hostel, I would recommend it to ANYONE! I stayed there on and off over the course of a week and a half. I had 14 other friends who stayed there as well. All of us loved it. The staff was very accommodating, friendly, and had great advice. The atmosphere of the hostel was excellent. When it was rainy, I didn't even mind being stuck in the hostel because it was so fun there. The bar and the free sangria is a great addition. Thank you so much Garden Backpacker!!!

Garden Backpacker is a really nice and - surprise ;) - green hostel in the Old City of Sevilla. The common area is very social and the given information is really useful. Staff is extraordinary friendly and motivated. I can really recommend a stay at this awesome hostel.

We had a great experience a this hostel. The staff are really friendly and helpful, it has a fun atmosphere, there were always a ton of great free/cheap activities going on, like the free walking tour, the flamenco show, sangria every night, paella, etc. It was a really fun, social place, great for meeting some really cool people. Also the location was great. We were there to see the processions for Semana Santa and we never had to walk far! I would definitely recommend it!

Excellente! I loved every moment -- free sangria, free tours (excellent tour guides), clean rooms, provide toiletries and hairdryers, an amazing breakfast, recommendations for where to eat and to go, and an amazing staff (especially Federico!). STAY HERE. Muchas Gracías!

Great hostel, with a good atmosphere, and despite many rooms and guests, it was not so noisy! It is good to spent one or several days, I reccomend 100%!

Overall not a bad hostel. The downside for us was that we stayed during Semana Santa and had to pay almost 20€ per night in a dorm with 12 people. Speaks for itself... The room was poorly lit and didn't have enough plugs and mirrors. The most uncomfortable thing is the fact that there are too few bathrooms and showers for the number of people in the hostel, that's a real pain in the ass in the morning. The staff was very nice though, the location is good and Sangria-hour is awesome!

I can't really complain about anything with this hostel! For the price I paid, it was perfect! The staff were great! Even when we had bus troubles getting to Sevilla and didn't check in until 5 in the morning. They were super nice and even offered us a beer because we had such an awful night. The only thing may be that there were only 3 bathrooms (each with 2 showers) for the entire hostel so in the morning it was a little hectic. Other than that, it was great! A great place to meet people.

This was the nicest hostel I've ever stayed in. The amenities were very well kept, and the staff was extremely attentive. The hostel activities were diverse and actually quite active and the breakfast was standard, but nicely presented. Although it was a bit farther from the main tourist areas than the Sevilla Inn hostel, it was a much nicer hostel experience. If you're staying for a longer period of time, choose Garden. Lockers were included too with no extra security deposit. Free sangria!

Awesome staff!! Exceptionally kind, friendly and helpful. Individual lockers a bit small, just enough to keep valuable items.
