Pros +
- The hostel was clean and well maintained. There is a nice small pool and bar area to relax. The breakfast was basic but not flexible.
- A lot of space in the room and very clean. I stayed in a female dormitory with a private bathroom, and it was comfortable as all travelers during my stay were nice and kept the bathroom tidy after using it. The location was also good; both the bus station and tourist attractions were in walking distance without troubles. They use an app to unlock the entrance and the door, which was interesting and safe to me. But it also meant you need to bring your cellphone wherever you go and make sure you have enough battery for it.
- - very good location close to the city center, - a nice rooftop terrace and bar, - helpful staff.
Cons -
- The ladder from the top bunk was difficult to use and painful on bare feet. The biggest problem was they charged £--- because of a football match in the city. Usual price was circa £--!!!!
- Most stoves in the kitchen didn't work and cookware was not in a good condition.
- During the night you can tell why it’s not expensive. The walls are paper thin, this includes the wall facing the street. The street seemed quite during the day but at night it seemed as if there were millions of people just yelling, I couldn’t sleep all night

- very good location close to the city center, - a nice rooftop terrace and bar, - helpful staff.
The doors close very loudly and can be quite disturbing. During my stay, there was a school trip with a group of kids constantly slamming them.
Every was very great. And they have Bar and pool on terrace and staff is very helpful.
Nothing is there. That we can say its not good.
The room was nice but the air condition is horrible. I can not breathe cleary at night. The top bunk bed has no corridor which quite easy to fall.
The room is nice and clean.
The vibe, the restaurant on the rooftop, the facilities and the working guys
Good
Far from the main staircase but very noisy (inside and outside the hotel)
The location is excellent . It’s in the south Centro area. Near plaza de arms. Advise from Ale’ on what and when to do was spot on .Two days l saw the Virgin Mary procession .They have a good breakfast choice.
There a lot of kids there that weekend. So the noise and hormones were rampant.
great location and facilities, cheap bar and dinners
no curtains and beds in the centre of the room
Bathrooms are proper, private ones, some even have bidets and sone have pretty large showers. A lot of common spaces where you can chillout on your own or socialize with other people. Lots of room for everyone’s food in the fridges. Nice bar that’s also a decent and quick option whenever you don’t feel like eating out or cooking. Very nice rooftop. Very clean hostel compared to others. Good location.
Nothing was bad, if I have to say the weaker parts:- rooms have lots of beds (mine had 12), and, being a social hostel, that means people are going to come back in the room and probably make noise at different hours in the night.- rooftop pool is really small, only for chilling.
Pool food
Busker beds hard get down and volume in the rooms
Roof top small swimming pool That was coolChilled out vibesPaella was amazing Great value food and drinkHelpful staff
Pool water dirty needed cleaningToo Many stairs to the barFor my knees. !!Young folk
Location, staff, facilities
Air conditioning sabotage, lacking off ventilation in the room
Very clean great location friendly staff
Location, pool and shaddow on the roof top.
Kitchen too small, 1 toilet/shower for 8 beds. No shelf or hook to put your things next to the bed, no curtain for privacy, the top bed is too low, had to pay attention not to hit my head. Narrow beds, could not sit upright on my bed.... Own food or dinks not allowed on the roof top.... :-/
Very clean. Great location.
Too loud for me. Great for 18-30.
I really liked the vibe of JOY Plaza de Armas and the friendliness of the staff. The atmosphere around the pool was beyond my expectations — super chill and enjoyable. The prices for drinks were great, and the breakfasts were really tasty. The location is perfect: very close to the airport bus stop, Carrefour, and just a short walk to the historical center of Sevilla.
I stayed on the top bunk bed, and there was no side handle or barrier, so I felt a bit unsafe and afraid I might fall down during the night.
Good
1 bathroom for the 14 person dorm is kind of ridiculous so you need to use the ones outside the rooms (only 1 more). The door key app works after about 8 tries and the handle finally works. The bunks have no railings on one side so hug the other side. Beds are comfy, lockers are big, it was clean and the staff were quite nice.
Location is perfect. Staff was friendly. Common areas are cool to meet fellow travelers.
There was one shower for the 10 person dorm room. As far as I saw there was no shared bathroom on the floor, so it may be limiting.
