Regarding Seville Hostels:
| Seville has a growing number of hostels which have websites but deciding among them can be a difficult task. There are hundreds and hundreds of different places to spend a night and many are very competitive in location and price. Should you stay in a hotel, hostel, or youth-hostel? Only you can decide this, but I have listed below a complete collection of Seville hostels on the internet for those who are looking for merely an inexpensive and typically clean & safe place to stay. One can read reviews and recommendations of MANY Seville hostels in the "Hostels & Other Lodgings" forum of MadridMan's ALL Spain Message Board |
| WHAT is a hostel/hostal? Hostels, called "hostales" in Spanish & "hostals" in Catalán, are usually very quaint (small), family owned and operated hotels and can be found in some of the most historical, interesting, and active parts of the city at very good prices. Hostels in Spain should not be confused with Youth-Hostels which are called "albergues juveniles" in Spanish. But in any case, many of us simply want cheap hostels in Seville.
WHERE to stay? Many people prefer to stay somehwere around the old Jewish Quarter of "Barrio Santa Cruz" where many of the streets are pedestrian and narrow and where many historical sites can be seen. Immediately next to (west) the Barrio Santa Cruz is the also historic "El Arenal" neighorhood which runs alongside the Guadalquivir River. It's recommended to stay in (or at least near) the old center as it is the most charistmatic and will most certainly make your stay more memorable. |
