Here are the best hostels in Seville – all bookable on Culture Trip.

While many hostels claim eco-friendly credentials, the Nomad goes the extra mile, with everything from organic bed sheets to fair trade coffee. Accommodation ranges from private rooms with double beds to dorms sleeping up to 10 in bunks (handmade locally, of course). There’s the bonus of free breakfast, plus use of a shared kitchen and a lounge with computers. Explore the old town surrounds with free walking tours or mingle with other guests at regular organised events.

For You Hostel

Situated on a cobbled tree-lined lane in the central Museo district, For You Hostel scores high on both location and setting. It’s been artfully integrated into a 19th-century building, all sleek and clean and with a sense of fun. Everything from private rooms to mixed and female-only dorms are available; each has a bathroom and some open onto a terrace. Common zones include a coffee bar and kitchen, plus the hotel holds regular language exchanges where you can improve your Spanish with local students.

Koisi Hostel Sevilla

Once the headquarters of the Saimaza coffee company, the Koisi Hostel is set in a rather impressive piece of modernist architecture. Original busy tiling, marble columns and twirly wrought iron contrast with the contemporary minimalism in the rooms, which range from private quarters to dorms (mixed and female-only). An all-day bar is also the setting for morning breakfast and evening drinks. While the location, a block from Las Setas (a striking multi-use venue, and the largest wooden structure in the world) means there are plenty of eating and drinking options on your doorstep.

Toc Hostel Sevilla

A book-tower reception desk sets the tone for this utterly charming and cheerful hostel. An open-air chill-out lounge and private cinema set it apart from most, as does the funky cafe offering everything from breakfast (with great coffee) to tapas and cocktails. Private suites sleep two or four guests, and dorms up to eight, all with nifty fingerprint room access. The hostel is in the Santa Cruz district, so many of the best city sights are just minutes away on foot.

La Flamenka
