Nice rooms, but CHECK-IN TIME IS INCCORRECT!!!

CHECK IN STARTS AT 2PM, NOT 9AM. I arrived around 10:30am to check in, but was told to come back at 2:00pm. I came back at 2:00pm and was told to wait another 30 minutes. This was extremely annoying considering I had minimal sleep because of my early morning flight. Other than this, the room itself was very good. This place has been recently refurbished, so everything is modern. The room and bathroom were both clean. Though the shower was too small, so you have to shower with the curtain open. The location is also very good with the main attractions within walking distance.

An excellent choice

Property had been recently refurbished,and everything was fresh and new. Good quality mattress. Very nice bathroom. Staff very helpful. It is situated on an alleyway a few yards off the main Menendez Pelayo thoroughfare. The number 21 bus gets you there in 15 minutes from the Plaza De Armas bus station. It is also 8 minutes walk from the Santa Justa rail station.

Convenient for sightseeing

The hotel had only been open 3 days, and various internal painting was taking place. I had ordered a double bed room, but it was not finished and accepted a twin bed room. Anything appears new, and the numerous workmen were busy trying to complete. There appears to be no lift. The local area has numerous cafe bars. It is walking distance of the central Cathedral etc where there are even more cafe bars. The bus C4, from outside the central bus terminus, stops opposite the hotel road.

Good value

The service was incredible! The gentleman at the front desk was literally available at all hours (we had to leave really early in the morning and he woke up to check us out!) He also let us stow our bags until check-in. There was a dead cockroach under the bed and, while I am glad it was dead, I absolutely hate cockroaches, so this was a negative point. It was also a bit strange that anytime we left the room we had to leave the keys at the front desk (which may be typical at hostels, but this was our first time staying at one, so it was unfamiliar.) The location was spectacular! Walkable to teh Cathedral and Alcazar and lots of good places to eat. The gentleman at the front desk also provided lots of good info on local places to see Flamenco, including outlining how to get to these places on a map for us. Overall, good value and great service!

During Christmas

Stayed with a friend on our trip at Christmas. We had two twin beds and a private bathroom. Everything was fine except the pillows were really gotten firm. The staff was a gentlemen and his wife with their baby. They didn't soak the best English but they were really helpful. Even called a cab for its to get Val to the train station. You do have to leave your key wgenerators you leave but theyou were always there to upended the door.

A little rundown but clean, good for a night or 2

Only stayed for one night. The staff was friendly. Definitely an older hostel, a but run down but clean enough. It was fine for a night but would probably not stay here long term. The location was great as it was walking distance to the alcazar.

Hostal San Franscisco

The room was as expected in regard to size and facilities. There was a good sized wardrobe, the bathroom was a bit small but clean and the shower was good. The location was very good for accessing the major sites including the Alcazar, the Cathedral and the river with the bull fighting arean. We were able to walk to everything and accessing the train and bus stations were easy. having said that, as mentioned elsewhere, the taxi driver (at the train station) had to ask one of the other drivers where to find the place.

Great experience

Very satisfied with our stay here. Pros: central location, 5 min taxi ride or 20 min walk from Santa Justa train station; 15 min walk to the Cathedral and city centre; the walk towards the city centre is interesting and there are many restaurants on the way; pleasant and helpful staff; clean and lovely interior. Cons: if English is important for you, beware. The staff didn't speak English at all, so we used about 10 words of Spanish that we knew and some gestures (which was sufficient, though). The TV in the room requires using a combination of 2 remote controls, and we had to ask how to use them. We didn't find any English-speaking TV channels (not a big deal but worth mentioning). Also, the place was very hard to find at first, since no taxi drivers knew the address. In fact the first taxi took us to a completely different _Hotel_ (not Hostel) San Francisco elsewhere. So make sure to tell the taxi driver the main street intersection (look it up on Google), not just the tiny Gonzalez Leon street that no one has ever heard of, and/or bring a map with exact location. Also keep in mind, that this is close to a landmark called Puerta De La Carne, which is just 2 short blocks away (and is also the name of the city bus stop a block away) and that everyone knows. Overall: it's a lovely and very convenient place and I will definitely stay there again if I'm ever back to Seville.

Fantastic budget hotel.

This is a great budget hotel. About a 15 minute walk from the station and on a quiet side street but only a 10 minute walk from the main tourist parts of Seville. The owners were simply lovely - really friendly and kind and they made it clear that notjing was too much to ask. The room was small but was great for the price, and was very clean. A great place for a cheap stay in Seville.
