Rooms very old, if you’re going to bathroom you should take card key with you to open the bathroom and then reopen your room. For me will never go there again.

Pésima experiencia, nos quedamos por tres noches con mi padre. No existe la privacidad, la gran mayoría de los que se alojan son muy irrespetuosos, no hay normas de convivencia. La primera noche tuvieron sexo debajo de mi cama. Informamos la situación, nos cambiaron y habitación y cambiaron a la misma habitación que nos habían dado a una de las personas por la que habíamos pedido el cambio. Volvió a hacer lo mismo en la nueva habitación, desde el personal nos dijeron que no tenían a na...

Reservamos con más de dos meses de antelación tres habitaciones. Al llegar por la mañana, pagamos el importe pendiente, dejamos la fianza y regresamos a las 17:00, ya que no podíamos hacer el check-in antes. Cuando volvimos, nos informaron de que solo tenían dos habitaciones disponibles. Después de más de una hora sin ofrecernos una solución, nos dijeron que podíamos ir a otro hostel que estaba a unos 10 minutos. Tuvimos que separarnos, y eso nos arruinó todo el fin de semana. Muy suc...

I stayed here and had an awful person with an aggressive man in my room. The staff witnessed this man kicking off with me, saying he’s going to “curse me” and “follow me everywhere I go”. The staff moved me for one night but the next day said I need to go back to the room. I was told several times that he was checking out and that he did not have access to the room at all anymore. Despite these assurances - he walks back into the room, with his own key, and was allowed up there by the ...

Das Hostel ist gut ausgestattet, mit Küche, Dachterrasse Bar etc. Jedoch war die grundsätzliche Atmosphäre aufgrund vieler unangenehm wirkender und teilweise aufdringlichen Männern, gedrückt. Als Frau habe ich mich unwohl in diesem Hostel gefühlt und konnte leider von den Vorteilen des Hostels nicht profitieren.

The key system is silly and time consuming, use cards!! The air con barely worked during the night, making sleeping difficult. The windows have no blinds so can be blinding if people open them for ventilation during the morning. Pool was always well over the capacity, making it difficult to just jump in & out to cool down. Laundry can’t be accessed when you want. You have to ask staff and they say yes or no. Was unable to wash our dirty clothes at 8:30pm. Not enough bathrooms for # of people.

Overall a pretty mediocre experience. No curtains on bed, staff who seem standoffish, a smart phone based key system that is finicky beyond belief, and just general lack of preparedness. Big signs everywhere regarding the need to label food in kitchen; no working pen and no labels. Pool is quite gross. Seems either understaffed or overbooked. Beds creak so loudly when making the slightest move.

same review I posted to google: Ok so the Pros: Great location, Amazing staff, Great vibes and friendly people!The Cons:Beds are terrible, no privacy, and every time someone moves their body slightly the entire bed creaks loudly.While most hostels have the occasional theft, it seems pretty common here. Multiple people from multiple dorms had jackets stolen, airpods stolen. EtcI found my towel in the trash as well which was very odd. Do not eat the eggs with the breakfast. Ended up getting sick

O pior hostel, que hospedei, a noite não tem água quente, falei na recepção o funcionário mandou eu arrumar, um homem barbudo e bem forte, grosso e muito ignorante, uma bagunça total, não consegue dormir, mas o pior é como os funcionários tratam os hóspedes, parece que o cliente está pedindo favor, falei que ia escrever e fazer reclamação esse homem riu na minha cara, fez pouco caso, não fico mais e nem recomendo para ninguém.

È stata un'esperienza indimenticabile, sono stata sul punto di rinunciare ad una visita per cui avevo già comprato il biglietto per rimanere in terrazzo con altri gli altri viaggiatori e lo staff. Pulizia ottima, cucina rifornita di tutto il necessario, la terrazza e la piscina meravigliosi. Disponibilità dello staff ottima. Rapporto qualità-prezzo più che ottimo. Ottimo anche il tinto de verano!

The location and amenities were great! There is a pool on the rooftop with a great view and lounging areas, you can enjoy happy hour while the sun sets. the common area and kitchen are also great. The only downside are that the bunk beds are very squeaky and there are no safety bars for the top bunk. Circulation in the room itself was little too none, but if you go downstairs they adjust the air conditioning.

Very nice hostel on a small street not far from bus stop and main attractions in Sevilla. Nice and friendly staff, a gorgeous roof top terrace, good breakfast, clean rooms. I was very satisfied after my stay there.

Me ha encantado este hostal: ofrece todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Está bien ubicado, es limpio y el personal es muy amable. Un saludo especial a los empleados del bar, que además de ser muy atentos, cocinan de maravilla. La piscina y la terraza son un gran plus, y las duchas exteriores también resultan muy prácticas, ya que permiten organizarse mejor durante la estancia.

Really social, rooftop pool and bar is awesome. The staff are friendly, it’s super clean, breakfast is good. Facilities are ok… Beds are not good if you get a top bunk, nowhere to put for stuff, no railings so your things falls out, and difficult to get in/out. The kitchen is actually good/with multiple stoves and sinks but there’s not enough bathrooms, one shower/toilet per room just doesn’t work. But I wanted to spend a lot of time in the hostel/socialising so it was great overall

Great stay, very helpful staff from the receptionist, to the cleaning staff to the waiter at the bar. They made me a great favour letting me having a shower after checking out to get ready to head to the Seville April fair; thank you so much guys, details like this one makes an un memorable stay. I would be back and stay again in this property.

L’hostel est super, facile de rencontrer du monde quand on voyage seul, il y a beaucoup d’activité proposés. Les lits sont confortables avec rideaux, les espaces communs sont sympas. Le bémol était que la piscine était fermée et cela n’était pas précisé dans l’annonce au moment de la réservation!

An amazing hostel! Friendly staff and great accommodations. There are no privacy curtains, which is a bit of a negative, but otherwise no complaints! Definitely have to hit the hotel bar for happy hours and will be hitting another one of these hostels:)
