JOY Setas Coworking

The hostel is in a great position, safe and comfortable to walk around everywhere. Just 10 minutes walking to the cathedral and Alcazar. The hostel is small and quiet, not really a party hostel. My room (8-bed-only female) is really really small, and not well equipped (no tents, no space for staff near the bed, not even a desk, small bathroom not so clean). The main point is the rooftop: swimming pool is great with an amazing view. The girl at the reception was really sweet and kind. I suggest to write some rules in the rooms, for example: switch off the light after 11 pm or be quiet during the night, some hosts were loud at 3 am coming back from their nights out. Everyone in the hostel were a solo traveller, young (20-35yo) and from different country. I recommend this hostel for a perfect place to visit Seville, quiet but nice, easy to find different people to chat with. I think there’s room for improvement.

The hostel had friendly, cosy, co-working vibes without being boring at all. It's unbelievable the value for your money that you will get staying here, both facility and location wise. Personally, I enjoyed the fact that it was a "quieter" hostel. You still have some activities being organised, and a terrace with a small pool (a lifesaver in hot Sevillian weather) and a bar run by hostel staff. The common/convivial areas (kitchen and terrace) are mostly away from the rooms, so it allows quiet for the guests resting in the rooms. The kitchen area is ample and you will find all the cutlery and appliances you need for cooking and enjoying a meal with fellow guests. Wifi was very reliable in all rooms and common areas, which is a great plus for the working and/or solo traveler. I first stayed in a 8-bed room and then a 6-bed room and both had air conditioners and a great view to the Setas. The noise from the plaza can be very loud in the evenings and nights, but this is due to the many bars and restaurants right under the room windows. Just bring your earplugs and you will be able to have a great sleep, especially as the bunkbeds are sturdy and the pillows and mattresses are so comfortable and so clean. The bathrooms (common areas and rooms) were always very clean. All members of staff were very polite and helpful and made me feel at home, especially Antonio and Olivia (the cleaning team is also impeccable and so sweet, but I didn't catch any of the lovely ladies' names, apologies!). Keep up this amazing work!

This hostel is great. When I arrived, the staff explained everything to me in very good English (and spoke French to the person before me), the room was comfy and clean. The system of using an app in the phone as a key is practical and works very well. Overall my general impression on the hostel was "how can it be that cheap for the quality they offer?". I only spent there one night, so I didn't have chance to enjoy the pool, or the happy hour in the terrace. Nor I used the kitchen, however I'd like to point out that it looked very clean and well equipped. I also didn't use the coworking area (and I was there over the weekend, so I didn't see anyone using it).

I have been to countless hostels and this is probably one of the best ones, the location is exceptional, the staff are friendly and attending at any time you have an issue, the facilities were spotless, something hard to find in hostels, they have everything well organized and they even have a small swimming pool with an incredible view on the rooftop along with a bar. Let me give you few details that might me minor but are making the experience much better: The bunkbeds are very high, so the lower part, is having a lot of space, you can seat in the lower part and your head won't touch the upper one, no matter how tall you are, the beds are not cracking everytime someone moves or climbs on it. The bathroom was actually very clean, surprisingly. They have an elevator for two floors!

Hot water, clean showers, most comfortable mattress, welcoming and helpful staff, excellent location, beautiful interior decor, good kitchen facilities, 24/7 help via telephone.... I could go on about how great this hostel is and as an African hijabi female solo traveller, I felt very safe and helped by staff and locals. Excellent value for money as I paid around £20 per night for an all female room in September (peak ish season). There is even a free walking tour (tip at the end) organised by a tour guide that the hostel connects you with. I also met incredible female travellers at the hostel that made my stay amazing. Though I didn't use the outdoor rooftop pool, it did look fun. Excellent high speed WiFi. Though reception is from 8am to 8pm, there is an all night emergency number that answers quickly and the doors can be opened via a mobile app! I would highly highly recommend and would return myself! Only improvement would be breakfast included but for this price, you can't complain. Thanks again to the reception staff who helped me with a first aid kit when I had a blister and provided recommendations and swift check in. 10/10 hostel.
