The best youth hostels in Seville for every type of traveller

How to find the best hostels in Seville for your trip

Of all the Spanish cities, Seville, the Andalusian capital, is by far the most fashionable. In this city you can enjoy the finer things in life: constant sunshine, life by the river, al fresco dining, live music and dancing late into the night. In addition, at every turn you will find historic buildings and some of the most impressive architectural marvels the world has ever seen, including the Plaza de España and the Alcazar de Sevilla. The city is a beautiful place to spend a few days, and the best hostels in Seville ensure that you can do so on an affordable budget. Temperatures in the summer months can be extreme, so the peak season is between April and June. In high season (especially during spring festivals such as Semana Santa) you can expect to pay between €20 and €40 per night, while the rest of the year you can expect to pay around €18 to €25.

And when night falls and you decide to party with other backpackers, the best youth hostels in Seville offer you plenty of opportunities to make new friends.

The four Englishmen who run this gaudy establishment have given it a clever name – La Banda means “gang of friends”, and chances are you’ll end up with that very gang at the end of your stay. Centrally located near Seville’s bullring, La Banda is a laid-back but party-ready hostel with a décor said to be inspired by music festivals and London nightspots. As with most of the best hostels in Seville, the action takes place on the rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy a drink at the well-stocked bar and delicious dinner parties in the evening against the backdrop of Seville’s illuminated cathedral.

Highlights of the hostel:

The best party hostels in Seville

The best hostels in Seville are set for the fiesta! Most hostels have rooftop terraces and organise pub crawls where you’re guaranteed to make new friends.

If you’re looking for the hipsters of the city, point your party compass north and head for Macarena, where you’ll find the barrios of La Alameda and Feria – which literally translates as “party”, which tells you all you need to know.
