Comments: Finding affordable accomodation in Sevilla seems to be quite difficult. I paid 30 euros per night, which is reasonable. The owner was very friendly and helpful, although he doesn't speak English (but this is common problem in Spain). Rooms are small, but clean.

Comments: Every time that you left, you had to leave your key behind and just ring the bell whenever you wanted to come back. I did not like having to do this... the place was clean enough, but not very centrally located and the staff was not overly helpful. The water was hot though in the shower! but there was only one bathroom for the whole place. While I was showering once, the maid kept trying to come in and clean... :(

Comments: Excellent shower and hot water; rooms are spacious; but furnishings are very old fashioned looking. We had mistakenly booked a double room for a month later and they kindly took us in anyway but gave us a 3-person room and charged us extra, which I thought was a little unnecessary as they didn't have any other guests to take the extra bed anyway.

Comments: Good if you are on a budget. Somewhat far from main touristy parts of town, but a quick ride away from those areas on SEVICI (Public bikes around Seville).

Comments: Spotlessly clean and very secure but overpriced for a basic room. Although the location was safe enough, it was too far from the old city centre & bus station- at least a 25 minute walk.

Comments: The staff are nice. The location was a bit out of the way from the sights but close to the SJ train station. This place only accepts cash and not credit card. The place has no lift and I had to haul my luggage to the top floor where one of the flight of stairs, the steps are quite small that an accident can occur. My room was cleaned satisfactorily and there is 1 bathroom per floor. I would use it before the the guys on the floor arrived back as it would be very clean. Hostal is very good price.

Comments: No elevator and the WIFI was broken when I got there. This is actually a pension, so there is not common room either. I didn't meet one other person while I was there. It is very close to the train station, and walking into the city takes about 20 minutes.

Comments: Hostel a bit out of the centre of town. Have to give keys back whenever you leave to go out which was a bit annoying. Owner helpful. Let us leave our luggage for the day. Not a bad little place.

Comments: the owner of this place is amazing. he is very friendly and loves to help travelers. if you're looking for a party place though, this is not the place. it's pretty quite and located a little away from the city center, but is a pretty quick walk. also, the food around this hostel is cheaper than in the main city center. i def recommend this place.

Comments: The place was nice, only 20 minute walk to most of the attractions. It was a little annoying having to buzz to get in everytime though. Definitely not a young person vibe though.

Comments: excellent hostal, extremely clean, the rooms are cleaned every day and everything is left back exactly as you left it! there´s very good security, you have to buzz to get in and even better there´s no curfew. it´s family run and they´re extremely friendly and helpful. it´s not bang in the centre of town but it´s literally 10-15 min walk onto menendez pelayo, walk straight down and all the sights are there. highly recommended for your stay in fabulous sevilla!

Comments: Nice place, and conveniently very close to the train station, but it might have been fun to stay a little closer to the center of town so it didn't seem like a waste of time to get back for an afternoon (sun-escaping) siesta... But it was a nice room, nice staff, and very clean, so no complaints here!

Comments: Except for being in walking distance of Santa Justa Train station, everything else is walkable but still too far away... Seville is not well connected by metro (yet) so a place closer to the main sights is wanting; can't imagine walking in the summer. Family staff were cordial but don't speak much English (except the boss), neither could they do much about the mix-up caused by the Trav system: the hostal had a requrement to book minimum 3 nights during the Feria festival in specific blocks during the week; didn't match my request through trav, whose system conveniently adjusted my dates without making clear highlight. Ended up paying for a night that i didn't stay there and had to search elsewhere for another night's stay. Exorbitant rates during Feria did not make this go down well.... My oversight, hostal's inflexibility, and trav's incapabilities to blame. Make sure you double check your dates before you confirm your booking here during festivals! Place is otherwise clean and secure. There is NO laundry here as claimed (it's down the street with typical spanish opening hours).

Comments: Walkable to anything (15 min) but are a lot of hostals I would pass on the way to bars, etc. at night saying (I wish I lived there). Rooms on my floor had access to a terrace looking out on the city which was nice and the nice staff was available to ensure we had the tools necessary to get our wine bottle open. Nice couples hostal if you don´t mind the long walks/ paying for a cab.
