Hostel in Seville with the best rooftops, pools and coworking spaces

Seville is a great place to visit as a backpacker. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain while being much more budget friendly than the northern parts of the country. The climate in Seville also makes spring or fall feel more like summer.

When I first visited Seville as a backpacker, I stayed twice as long as I planned. This was partly because there were so many things to do in Seville, although the very good hostel I stayed at – La Banda came down to the roof – He also made the easy decision to stay longer.

I have since returned to Seville several times, which has allowed me to experience the different neighborhoods and hostels of the Andalusian capital.

With dozens of hostels in Seville to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to stay. But book any of the following and you’ll be sure to have a great time in Seville.

1. La Banda Rooftop Lodge

I’ve stayed in hundreds of hostels around the world and… La Banda Rooftop Hostel Still among the best. For a very sociable backpacker atmosphere, these are my top recommendations.

This hostel has been awarded ‘Hoscar’ awards from Hostelworld for many years and it’s easy to see why. The dorms are custom-designed with all the amenities you need, but it’s the rooftop area that really makes the difference. It’s easy to make new travel friends there, especially if you join the rooftop breakfast or daily family dinner.

The atmosphere is social and there are often events on the rooftop although it’s not really a ‘party’ hostel, so you can get a good night’s sleep every night.

The hostel is located just a stone’s throw from the cathedral, making it easy to reach all of Seville’s sights on foot.

Check it out Reserve your bed Because La Banda is legendary and is often fully booked even in low season. If you miss your chance, there are other hostels in Seville listed below that also have a social atmosphere.

2. TOC Inn and Suites

TOC is a small chain of hostels in Spain offering hotel-like quality at hostel prices. This is not your best option if you are traveling alone and really need to socialize; It’s quiet, clean and offers very great value, but they don’t organize activities and the common room is not very homey. However, the facilities a lot Better than your average hostel.

I recommend TOC Inn and Suites If you are looking for a luxury hostel with quality amenities. If you don’t need a social hostel because you already have plans of your own, but want an affordable but high-quality place to stay, TOC will definitely tick all the boxes.

that it Ideal for remote workers. The lobby is located downstairs next to an on-site café with very good WiFi and plenty of seating with plugs you can easily work from.

3. La Flamenca Hostel

If La Banda is fully booked, I recommend La Flamenka As your Next best option for a social hostel. In addition to having a rooftop area, it also has plenty of facilities that make it a great base in Seville.

From the rooftop terrace, you can see the cathedral and the old town, while being only minutes away from all the city’s attractions.

like One of the oldest hostels in Seville, Triana hostel It may be a little simpler than the others, but it makes up for that with its very welcoming atmosphere.
