Hostal Alcobia

Easy to locate via map app. Near the major tourist spots, bus stops, food shops and convenience stores.

Even with low expectations prepare to be disappointed! Every aspect of this Hostal booking was poor, from the booking to the stay itself! The website I used was Trip.com & due to a problem with their website I ended up with 3 nights here & one of these nights at another hotel as well, but neither the website or the hotels would cancel the duplicated night! When I booked I believed I booked a "double with city views". What I got was a ground floor room with a window to a central ventilation shaft (not that that worked as there was mould on the walls & it smelt musty! Seeing another review this was the case 2 years ago for this room! Other negatives (many reported in previous years): Tiles in the bathroom falling off, shower head poor & falling off, no drawers for clothes, & (what looks like) an old condom machine outside the front door. In addition I went back on Tuesday afternoon for a rest only to be disturbed by a jack hammer on the other side of the wall, & again at 8:20am on Wednesday! In summary I wasn't expecting a lot at this price point in Sevilla but it gave even less! I wouldn't recommend this Hostal or the website I booked with!

The hotel is not so scary as described by past travellers. It is near to main road but a walking distance to the most happening places, for example the Jardine garden and cathedral. However there are two supermarkets, one carefore one Mas just opposite and have lots of cheaper food products. The only shortfall is there is no cooking facilities no cup no plate except a big freg and a microwave, no basin to wash things too except in your room. So if you are staying at fifth floor imagine how inconvenient it is. And no lift all by staircases. We only meet the receptionist once and disappear after that. Should stay somewhere nearer to Jewish quarter next my visit

clenaliness is debateable. location is perfect. bath is enough. contact with staff is ok. recommended for solo travellers.
