The only saving grace of this hotel is its unbeatable location. Beyond that, it’s a total letdown.

We received zero pre-arrival info or check-in details, making getting into the room a guessing game. Once inside, the place was completely stripped of basic amenities—there wasn't even a mini-fridge for water.

If you just need a central spot to crash for a single night and plan to spend every waking second outside, it’s tolerable. For anything longer, stay somewhere else.

The only really good thing is that the air conditioning worked, so that was nice. However, the room was pretty dirty. I understand it's a one-star hostel, but that's no excuse for the bedsheets to be dirty and the towels to have last week's stains still on them. That's unacceptable.

I booked room with 3 beds but I got 2 bed room. When we open the window of the room, we smelled other room bathroom smell, which was horrible and only one set of keys was given and when we asked for second set of keys the guy asked us why we felt the it was rude and he said no second set of keys will be provided which was weird. Rooms condition was horrible and didn’t like the stay and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

The room was basic but clean, private bathroom was slightly old but everything worked fine. Did online check-in so didn't actually meet any staff, but had everything I needed and the location was perfect for my needs. There were some small supermarkets a few minutes walk away, but nothing was very far. Last minute choice to stay here, but glad that I did.

Although our room was small and dated, it was very clean and tidy.

Because we tend to spend a lot of the time exploring, we don't spend much time in our room, it really is just a place to get our heads down so the hostel was perfect for us.

The location is perfect for all the sights and the EA bus stop is fifteen minutes walk away, also two supermarkets a couple of minutes away.

There are also some great bars close buy.

We would be happy to stay again.

This was my third trip to Sevilla and this is exactly the part of town where you want to stay walking to the train station walking distance to everything. Very basic room. The only thing that needs to change is some sort of the shelf in the bathroom, any way to organize your poetry.

La première journée il n’y avait pas d’électricité dans la chambre et on nous a changé dans une qui était au dernier étage, j’ai essayé qu’on nous change dans une qui était au premier étage puisque je souffre des problèmes aux genoux mais impossible de trouver quelqu’un avec qui communiquer.

The property is centrally located in Seville the room we had was small but for a few nights it worked out. If your looking for luxury this is not the place. You have to check in online which was difficult due to the want pictures of your passport and every picture we tried to provide was to large over 5mb. But the staff is friendly i just wish they were on property at least at 3pm for check in assistance.

Location is good, outside of property could do with a good clean and when we first arrived I nearly turned around and left. Hostel itself has seen better days and is quite run down, however we only wanted a place to stay as we were out all day. So, room... tiny, ground floor with little light and didn't open curtains for fear of the pole falling down, next to the front door so heard all the comings and goings. However, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bedding was clean with two mattress protectors, it had ac/heating and enough sockets for our phones etc. Plenty of hot water and clean towels so it was adequate for our needs, maybe an upstairs room with small balcony would be nicer? We booked very late and there were not many options available for the price and location, Would not book again but it served its purpose.

This place was disgusting, no one at the front desk, so absolutely no security. There was mold on everything (bathroom tile, wall, inside the closet, and on the ceiling) and the chair was nasty and soiled. I did not look at the bed sheetd. There is a sign to call the police if there are problems, so you are on your own. This should be removed from Expedia and anywhere else, shame on you Expedia!!!

Too small for the cost. No comfort, basic.

A tiny tiny room only big enough to fit the bed and nothing more. A tiny bathroom with the toilet crammed in the corner but a nice big shower in another corner was the only positive about this hotel. I would say great for a solo traveller but not for a couple. Outside was quite unwelcoming down a poorly lit alley way

The beds were hard. There were ants coming in from the window. We tried to cover in the hole but they still came in. There was free air conditioning. There was a hair dryer in the room but no kettle. The room was cleaned every day and we got fresh towels. The location was excellent. The bathroom was very small.

The smallest hotel room ever

First of all, admission was by phone call only, which i personally dislike. I didn't see anyone from the hotel during my entire stay.
My room was pitifully small (any smaller and it would have been a coffin) and the only place to gang any clothes was a 3 hook coat rack which fell off the wall if you put more than a couple of things on it.
People did come in daily to clean but certainly didn't sweep under the bed. They did clean the bathroom though.
On the plus side, the bed was very comfortable.
It maybe worth the risk for a night but not worth it, at least not in the rooom i stayed in, for any longer.

Horrible. The lady at the reception was extremely rude ‘ hostile. I had left my luggage at the hotel because she said I could but when I came she started saying how she cannot let me in because she is not there. I asked for someone else to help & he was very aggressive & wouldn’t let me in. The lady then yelled at me again for not going in even though she could see from her security camera that I wasn’t let in. She then proceeded to tell me a way to get my lugggage but she could’ve just told me that from the beginning to avoid the hassle. WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE

This was my second stay here. If all you need is a place close to the train station and close to the major tourist sites, this is your place to stay! Rooms are very compact, but if all you need is a place to sleep, shower and watch a little TV before sleepy time, I highly recommend this place. Only problem I had was no 24 hour reception if you have a problem and other guests can get noisy at night (that's not the hotel's fault though).

Not recommend this place for families with kids.

If you want something cheap and close from the center (and don’t mind if it’s dirty), this is an option.

I hate the new trend with hostels of only staffing reception from 0900-1500 hours - especially when they say \"Check-in begins at 1400 hours\"! Outside that one hour window, you have to try and check in on-line, which is usually beyond challenging.

Also, the day before I arrived,. I received an e-mail from them all in Spanish and without a translator app on my phone, had no idea what it was about, until I got to the hostel only to find the e-mail was instructions for checking in since there was no one at reception.

All that said, the staff, especially the cleaning people were incredibly friendly and helpful. Hostel is close to Sants Justa train station and also close to most of the tourist sites. Great and quiet location, but other residents were incredibly noisy at all hours of the night - hence another reason reception should be staffed. Hotel decor and room are a bit dated and could be updated, but it was clean and comfortable.

Check in / stay

Had to phone number on door for code to obtain key. Difficult if not a lot of Spanish. Room comfortable and clean. I had bathroom in room for €46+ . 3 flights of stairs though no lift. Good free WiFi

Nice-looking common area, but an overall feeling of uncleanliness in the room-a bit of mold on the windows, stains in the shower, smelly pillows. Room was very humid. Acceptable for one night where we just needed a place to sleep. Location is pretty good.

The property is in a great location, about 15 minutes walking to the Alcazar, Seville Cathedral, Plaza de Espana, and the train station. The downside was the room was tiny and no windows and cost $71 per night.

4 days in Sevilla.

I don’t typically leave bad reviews. We are a backpacking couple so typically stay at cheap accommodation. I’ll start with the pros: good location, only a 10 min walk from everything, the check in was fairly simple, the facilities worked, good wifi.
Cons: not necessarily a con but the receptionist spoke very little to no English but I understood most of what was going on. No extra tourist information given or anything. The real issue was the bugs. The bathroom was crawling; ants on the towels, ants on the walls, ants all over the taps. I understand that it’s a cheap hostel and a hot country, but we got bitten a few times in the night. There were elements that definitely weren’t clean either; the shower shelf and the extractor fan were filthy, and it probably did say in the hotel booking page but there is no room service. I guess if it’s a quick stop over it’s fine, but I might not come here again for any longer than that.
On the flip side, the lady who we caught cleaning reception is lovely - she helped us turn the power back on when the fuse flipped.

OK for a night or two.

I left a day early and lost my money. The AC did not work. They claim to have fixed it when it stop making a loud noise, but they just fix the noise not the fact that it did not blow cold air. The website says they have laundry facilities, it’s only for their use of the hostal, not the guests. The shower was super small. It also had mold on the ceiling. My room was just above the entrance, so every time someone entered and let the door slam, I heard it.

But it was in a safe neighborhood, everything was nearby, including a supermarket and laundry facilities, and the staff was really great.

It's not a five star hotel but It's a comfortable place to stay as long as you don't expect any luxury. The staff is really nice and accommodating even though they speak very min english.

We were able to walk to most touristy places and there were a lot of food options nearby.

Good value in a great location

The hotel is located in a good position that allows you to reach all the points of interest within 10 minutes. The staff is really nice and kind, they allowed us to leave the bags before the check in and after the check out and they helped us to find a place where to leave the car. Considering the price the room was good.

A nice, simple hotel in the center of Seville. It's easy to get to lots of different places and the hotel is very reasonably priced. There are no extra frills, like breakfast, but a two-minute walk gets you to a very nice bakery. This is the place to be if you want to spend the majority of your time exploring the area.

They also rent bikes for 10€ p/day.
I recommend it.

Good location &staff

Great location. The woman who helped us during check-in was super friendly and helpful and gave us lots of tips/recommendations. It was still chilly in the mornings/evenings when we were in Seville, so it was nice that the heating worked and was quiet. In general the area was quiet at night,so we weren't woken up by outside noises.

About 8 min walk to Pl. Campana for buses to Santa Justa train station. Great staff, really helpful and friendly; helped print my Alcazar tickets so I wouldn't have to wait in line! Room was basic but clean - there's some renovations in process so some of the rooms may be undergoing work. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Good value overall.

Excellent and friendly staff, contacted us before check in due to our late arrival and helped us find nice restaurants the next day. We got free towels and water bottles, that´s a service I´ve never had for this price!
The best quality/price ratio you can find in town given the location, very central!

The room was a box room no place to put your stuff because they saw my review so they changed my room to another more ample in the ground floor (the first one was in the third) The room was better but no control for the heating but the worst for me was the shower, the holder for the head didn't exist so to take a shower I have to hold it in my hand. Very small cubicle so if I move I got the shower curtain sticking to me if I move to the other side I close the shower because I touched the tap if your soap fall to take it you could hit your head with the wash basin as happened to me. I know because of the price I can't ask for luxury but was very uncomfortable for me and I was in other cheap hotels but this I think is not good enough to be in Expedia. The personal very friendly but unfortunately they couldn't do much.

Lovely short stay in Seville

Location was great; only 8 minutes away from Giralda Tower and close to all central attractions. Staff was really nice. Had quite a good amount of space in the room which was also nicely decorated. Great Wifi! Private bathroom was clean and we were provided with all needed amenities. Comfy bed! We could use the fridge and microwave in the common area and had tea/coffee making facilities

He leido muchas reseñas malas sobre el sitio e iba con miedo ,pero la verdad que todo lo contrario. El de recepción muy amable conmigo, al llegar antes del check-in se ofrecio a dejarme mi maleta ya en la habitación. La habitación es pequeña pero la verdad que para dormir solo esta bien, el baño es pequeño pero no esta mal. La cama es comoda y las sabanas estaban limpias y olian a limpio y la habitación olia a limpio también. Las toallas limpias también y la habitación en general limpia. Para una estancia de solo ducha y dormir esta perfecto

Eu disse que pagaria no hotel e quando liguei para o recepcionista ele disse que já tinha descontado do meu cartão de crédito sem minha autorização, para mim tanto o hotel quanto o hoteis.com erraram
