Samay Hostel, Sevilla
 

I planned on staying at Samay for about 4 days. It became about a week because the hostel was so great. Clean rooms, hot water (if you dont shower over about 10 minutes), free internet (I replaced the wallpaper with a
Travelpunk logo), a fully equipped kitchen with two stoves/ovens, and an open air terrace with a view of the Giralda. 10 minutes walk from the Alcazar/Cathedral, Plaza de Espana and just a little further for some of the outlying sites.

Great place (I even tried to get a job working for my bed but it didn't work unfortunately) and thoroughly recommended.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out for my trip this summer.

If you do see if my travelpunk sticker on the sign out front is still there :cheers:

Good to know! Sevilla is awesome, I love the culture there

I just booked 3 nights here for June 14th - 16th, but I'm leaving open the possibility that I'll love it and want to stay longer. I will keep an eye out for your sticker Joe, and I just gave you a shout out in my tpunk blog about recommending this hostel.

Hehe, cool! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. A favorite pasttime of mine was to sit on the deck upstairs, soak up the sun and drink a few claritas with my hostelmates.

Joey described this place perfectly. I met some awesome people here and would return in an instant to spend over a week here. The only downside is that they close off the terrace at midnight because of the noise.

Oh yeah I forgot about that! We always ended up either going out or hanging in the kitchen (although even in Feb, it got a little warmish so I gotta think in the summer it may have been brutal).

By having such a massive kitchen it became like the 2nd common room. Em and I made a few meals there with some of the other folks.

yeah, my last night there I think we pissed off a couple people b/c we moved the party first into the common area downstairs and then our dorm room and kept it going til like 3 am. Awesome hostel though, I wish I spent more time in Sevilla.

Thanks for the review gang. Sounds like a blast:batman: !

Thanks for posting the reviews! I think my wife and I (and possible a few friends) will be headed to Seville next year and this really helps my planning.

Thanks for sharing this..
