Seville Hostels
Many visitors to Spain aren't comfortable with the idea if staying in as
"hostal" is it conjures up thoughts of some kind of down and out's hostel in
English.
This is a fallacy as a Spanish "hostal" is simply a cheap hotel which is
often a family run business. In some parts of Spain these "hostals" are bursting
with character and provide far more interesting accommodation than modern
hotels. In Seville they tend to be very small and are mainly occupied by budget
travellers and students. Many of them are really quaint as they have been
established in charming Sevillian houses centred on a small courtyard patio.
Room types range from shared dormitories to en suite double rooms.
There's quite a shortage of cheap Seville hostels these days as many
establishments have been undergone reforms in recent times to transform them
into attractive small hotels. They then have a licence to charge accordingly.
In a city of contant festivals it's a good idea to book hostels well in
advance especially during Holy Week (Semana Santa) and the April Fair (Feria de
Abril). Below we've recommended a few centrally located hostels with online
booking facilities.
It's also worth taking a look at the
Seville
Hotels Map as you might well find an affordable hotel rather than a hostel.
