Looking for good value, comfortable accommodation with a relaxed, social vibe? These boutique hostels might be just what you are after!
Once upon a time the term “hostel” was associated with scruffy backpackers and bedbugs, and people scrambled to the luxury hotels or more charming boutique hotels in new cities. However, times have changed, and all across Europe what are known as “boutique hostels” are becoming more and more common.
These hostels are the perfect solution for those who feel that their hostel days are over, but like the vibe and atmosphere of a hostel. They have shared dorms or private rooms, a good range of facilities, inviting decor, and the social life is generally buzzing. Here’s our picks for the best boutique hostels in Seville!

La Banda
La Banda, a great hostel in the El Arenal neighborhood, is run by 4 friendly guys from the UK, and the concept here is simple: La Banda = gang of friends. This gives you an idea of the vibe of this hostel – relaxed, friendly and fun! The rooms available are mixed dorms ranging from 4 to 8 beds, including 3 boutique dorms with private bathrooms. When you aren’t sleeping or out sightseeing, you’ll probably find yourself mingling with likeminded travelers on the roof top where there is a nightly dinner served and plenty of drinks flowing. The downside is there are no private double rooms, but if you are looking for a young, fun vibe, this is the place for you!
The Nomad Hostel
This minimalistic design, eco friendly, hostel is run by three friends from Seville who after their own worldwide adventures, wanted to create their own “cosy, comfortable and happy space to interpret in a different way what a ‘hostel’ can be: dynamic and fun”. The Nomad Hostel has a great range of rooms available, double rooms with private bathroom all the way to a 10 person dorm, and even a family room for those who are traveling with the little ones – this really is a hostel for everyone! It’s also located perfectly, right in the centre of town, meaning that many of Seville’s great monuments and interesting museums are within arms reach.
