Basic but value for money.
Very well placed within easy walk to historic centre. Pleasant welcome from nice staff. Property has a lot of stairs. Good size room, comfy beds but pillows rock hard! Curtains needed attention as they were not completely attached to the rail. Nice bathroom. Air conditioner very old and not very efficient, took hours to cool the room to 20 deg. THERE IS NO WIFI in rooms & a very poor signal in reception. This should be amended on the description. This was value for money.

Reasonable stay
Very basic but reasonably comfortable. Had an ensuite bathroom but unfortunately the shared bathroom was next to our room & other guests were not very considerate. Rooms are not soundproof so lots of outside noise. On our second night other guests came back at 03.00 & went up to the roof terrace to continue their party!! Air conditioner excellent. Beds a bit hard & only one pillow. Was very convenient to walk to local sights & for food etc.

Very good pension
Excellent location on edge of centre (quiet but not far to walk to main sites). Room clean & beds very comfortable. En suite bathroom fine. Only issue was shower not providing enough water, but this was on only one occasion out of 4-5 showers so no drama.

Seville, December 2019
Quite a central location for city centre of Seville. But in December it can get quite chilly in a night,& unfortunately there was no heating,& there was extra charges for having the air-conditioning turned on. Beds could’ve been more comfortable, & the street directly outside was quite noisy, at times. Shower room compact, but modern.

Gracias por sus comentarios, hay pocos dias de frio, pero cuando hace frio , disponemos de aire acondicionado/calefacción, que en nuestro caso supone un suplemento de 3 euros, porque pensamos que deben pagar solo quienes quiera utilizarlo, no todos neustros huespedes quieren usar la calefaccion, por tanto no creemos que deban abonarla.

Affordable stay in Sevilla
The Pension is located in walking distance to the cathedral and Alcazar, but on a quiet street. There are a lot of picturesque, fern draped, narrow streets in the area to add to it's charm. Our room was right off the lobby, so it was noisy as late night celebrants came in singing, but that is no fault of the Pension's. Rooms are basic, no breakfast offered, but they could arrange activities such as flamenco shows to those who wanted them. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Not much good to say here.
Good location (bit hard to find though) and the cleaning lady was very nice. About the two good things to say about this hotel. I stayed here with my girlfriend and we were very lucky it wasn't too hot in Seville because the air conditioning remote is another 30EU. The bed was broken so you had to be very very careful about it, one of the toilets had a broken lock and both of the shared bathrooms had a room in between the two (pity the poor girls staying there). There was free wifi but it didn't really reach into the rooms, you had to stand outside. One night my girlfriend and I came back, went to bed and were quietly whispering to each other for a bit, just chatting. Suddenly there was loud rapping at the door, I opened it and the receptionist downstairs angrily complained that we were being too loud. We really weren't. In any case, any concerns she had about customers being woken up went out the door during her sudden outburst. I don't know how she heard us talking but in any case, if you're not allowed to talk quietly with your girlfriend in your room then that's not an appropriate hotel in my opinion. I once stayed in a mosquito-infested converted shed in North Germany and I swear I would give a better review to that place. Even if it wasn't for the incident with the angry woman at the door, it's really not an impressive place. It would be acceptable (sans crazy employee) at maybe half the price.

Okay for somewhere cheap
This hostal is cheap but there are some downsides. The staff are very friendly but only speak Spanish. The location is okay - it's a longish walk back from many sites. The rooms are clean with authentic charm. Mine had faulty table lamps and power outlets. The wifi is intermittent. AC is additional 3 euros. My bed was very uncomfortable and the room was noisy - very. I also had a cold shower on 2 out of 3 of my days. If you're looking for somewhere cheap for 1 or 2 nights it's fine, if you're staying longer, or can afford to pay more - it's worth paying a bit extra - in my opinion!

Basic hostel in a really good location!
Hostel is nice, clean and with a kind staff. Some rooms are without any windows to outside. Very good location, for two and a half days we didn't need any transport. Air conditioner can be used for an extra 3 euros per day, worth it for sure. A little bit noisy at night.

Very noisy but pretty building
If you can sleep through loud noises then you might enjoy this spot- typical Andalusian guesthouse style, with a center reception area that opens to the top floor and balconies overlooking. Unfortunately, that means all the sounds of people coming and going (plus VERY old squeaky, banging doors) reverberate throughout the hotel at all hours of the night and morning. Also lots of street noise, back of hotel might be better. The room was very clean though too much furniture- couldn't open the door all the way because of a bureau in the way. The shared bath was fine but a poorly-placed window- perhaps a screen of some sort? Also- 3 euro extra for AC per night. The staff was great!

It is a hostal, so don't expect too much. Location is good: a 5 - 10 min walk from the cathedral and other major attractions. You have the option to pay small fee to use A/C on the top floor (third), which is good during the summer. Staff was very friendly and assisted with directions and other things.

A nice stay in Seville
Arriving at the hotel I was greeted by a friendly man. He spoke quite well in English and was very friendly. Offered me towels to use in the room and advised me there were refreshments I could buy and the prices were good. The room was basic - a double bed, table and wardrobe but was comfortable. The shared washing facilities were basic but clean. Pretty much in the centre. I enjoyed my stay but it wouldn't suit all.

Depends what type of experience you're looking for!
First of all, not even my taxi driver knew where the street of this hotel is! Turns out it's not on a driving street, but on a super small street where you can only go by foot. Once I finally found the place, I thought it was cute. Plus, once you get to know the area, you find that you are right in the center of a lot of the cultural destinations (within walking distance), and the little street area is super rich in Sevillan shops and tapas restaurants. I felt like I was getting more of a cultural experience where this hotel is situated, rather than a typical tourist trip, which is the reason why I'd say Seville was my favorite city I saw as part of my Spain trip. My room was nice, the receptionist was friendly and talked to me about options I had around the city. Definitely take them up on their flamenco ticket discount!!! However, while I can't say that they DON'T speak English, it certainly benefited me the fact that I speak Spanish... Also, I don't know why this hotel says it takes credit card and offers free wifi. I had no wifi, there's a computer in the lobby but you're not allowed to use it. And I'd just been robbed the day before in Barcelona and had very little cash (which I expressed to them), but they still wouldn't allow me to pay by credit card. All in all, you'll feel very safe in this hotel, and it is clean and very cost-effective. Just be prepared to speak some Spanish and have cash on hand!
