Great Hostel in Central Seville with Rooftop!
Amazing hostel, friendly staff and rooftop bar was awesome! The rooftop pool as advertised is more like a swim spa, very small so dont expect to do any laps! Dorm was clean, great air con and had a private ensuite! Pub crawl was good fun but the breakfast is very average for what you get...not the best value for money. Would stay again!

Fun hostel with lots of guests.
This is a fine hostel with an upstairs balcony to converse, swimmin the mini pool, and generally chill with your new friends. The pub crawl is a late night excursion which got mixed ratings from the petty crowd...finishes around 3am.

Good hostel, got little sleep due to other guests
Well organised hostel. Lots of good info given to me by staff. Good value for money breakfast. Got about 6 hours sleep over a two night period due to people coming and going through the night/early morning.

Fantastic
Prime location which is close to all the sights and main bus station. The staff are friendly and helpful too.You get a welcome drink token and 2 hours a night of happy hour. They organise Feria bar crawls and it's such a friendly atmosphere where it is so easy to meet people. Spacious and clean rooms with a small balcony too.

Not bad not great. Okay to stay.
It was okay to stay. Not very good but not poor. The bed was not clean but not dirty. Air conditioning in the room was okay for night, but hot in the morning. Staff was very very kind. Location was safe area but not close to tourist attractions. The one thing i dislike was a lack of outlet. 10 people was using the room but there were only 7 outlets.

Grat place!
It's a great hostel with really good location and staff. The rooftop terrace offers a great view of the city and the bar is not expensive. The only thing is that wifi is a little slow but it does work in the whole place. Dorm rooms are quite big and confy

Overall Decent but loud
We had a private room with a private bathroom. The room and bathroom were nice. Walls were thin and it was noisy at night. If the rooms were better sound proofed I would stay there again. When we went to check in we could not enter the building because the staff "was at the other location and would be back in 5 minutes". Something that would have been nice for them to put on the front door so that we could see it. We would have liked them to call us a cab when we left at 4am,but the front desk was vacated again so that was not possible. Breakfast for 3 euros included a couple eggs and bacon (or a ham sandwich or a yogurt and granola dish) and cereal and toast. Just the cereal and toast was 2 euros. They were knowledgeable about free tours in the area.
