Comments: The quality and character of the hostel were OK, but not very impressive. The location though makes up for it great deal. The owner (I think) was very helpful giving us directions and advice. I'd advise this place for 1-2 night stay but no longer.

Comments: Nice hostel, clean, etc. Rooms nice. Easy walk to main sites. Staff very helpful. My only bad point is that the air con is controlled by the staff. On a timer maybe?? Had trouble sleeping due to heat.

Comments: Very nice hostel to stay in. In the middle of the touristy part of Sevilla. Besides the shower being a bit small (typical of all Europe), I have no complaints.

Comments: Great location in the city centre. Without luxuries, but very clean. However the bathrooom was really tiny, it was difficult to have a shower without transforming the bathroom into a swimmming pool.

Comments: I couldn't count out of how many people working there, for every time I went to the counter, there was always a new face greeting me there. But almost everyone of them was nice, except the grandpa who leted us sleeping in the chairs for the whole morning to wait for the room.

Comments: There are some problems with sound isolation. If you wake up easely, there's a probability you won't sleep very well. In all the other things, this hostal is ok. The staff is nice and there's a nice little pateo to go for tapas just around the corner!

Comments: The private bathroom was a bit small and not very clean. After problems with the shower the staff fixed it the same day. That was a big plus for the Hostel. Location is good and i would go their again.

Comments: Very dirty. Extremely noisy, you can hear the reception phone ring even on the 2nd floor. This place is not a hostel, but a cheap and nasty hotel, thus no facilities to speak of. It a bit too far to walk from the train station.

Comments: We were so disappointed when we arrived after having read the reviews for Santa Catalina in Trav. There was mold , quite a bit of it, on the ceiling in our bath, and on the shower tubing. It was very noisey on the street below, and we just felt like the place wasn't very clean. It was not as close to the main sights as we thought it was going to be either. We would not stay there again.

Comments: The room itself was spottless and easily big enough, the balcony gave a good view of the bustling street below. The only downside to this room was an overly small bathroom with a temperamental shower

Comments: Staff were excellent and eventhough the area was quite a walk to the centre the charm of the place was excellent. However, I wouldnt walk from the train station as it is too far...Overall very happy with this hotel.

Comments: This is a clean, reasonably priced, air conditioned hostal with private bathrooms. For the price it´s good but there is no view from the inward facing rooms and the decor is a bit outdated and depressing. It´s in a good neighborhood but a little hard to find. It doesn´t have the flair of a jumping hostel, kind of a snore but very clean and very good service.

Comments: Could be considered a hotel not hostel. Little bit fustrating not having any cooking fascilities or a fridge for cold drinks especially in the heat of summer. Rooms were nice, a little noisy at night but double glazed windows and airconditioning helped.

Comments: Don't expect the interior to stun you....its very clean but very basic and small (may be worth asking for one of the larger rooms 207 is tiny) It is situated in a brilliant part of town and has a brilliant traditional bar just around the corner. The staff are very informative and helpful we had a good stay and would be sure to stay there again.
