“The hostel’s location right in the centre made exploring Seville on foot effortless. Rooms were spacious, the kitchen well equipped, and the terrace was a lovely spot to relax. Staff were friendly and gave great advice. The private bathroom in our dorm was clean, and the €2 breakfast was excellent value. Highly recommend for solo travellers.”
