Breakfast
However, the simplicity also seems to be a double-edged sword. Numerous guests have mentioned that the breakfast is basic with limited variety and choices. Some noted the absence of fresh juice, fruits or other substantial items. There are also comments about the quality of some items, as well as occasional service issues like "sold-out" breakfasts and minimal offerings.
In summary, while the breakfast at Hostal Sierpes is undeniably basic, it is also notably budget-friendly, making it an attractive option for those prioritizing cost efficiency over gastronomic variety.
Rooms
However, the rooms vary in size with numerous comments highlighting how small they can be, sometimes to the point of feeling cramped or claustrophobic. Noise levels are another common concern due to thin walls and external street noise, especially for rooms facing the street or common areas.
The furniture in several rooms is described as outdated and some guests pointed out that the rooms lacked amenities such as sufficient lighting, electrical outlets or storage space for clothes. Despite these drawbacks, the rooms are generally seen as functional and comfortable, particularly for those seeking a budget-friendly option in a central location.
The lack of an elevator in the multi-story building is an inconvenience for guests with rooms on higher floors. Nonetheless, the friendly staff and the simple yet sufficient facilities make it a viable option for travelers who prioritize location and basic comfort over luxury.
Beds
Cleanliness
Cleaning staff receive frequent praise for their thoroughness and attention to detail, ensuring rooms are well-maintained throughout guests' stays.

The visual appeal of the simple but clean accommodations adds to the overall positive impression, making the hostel a reliable choice for cleanliness and comfort in a picturesque setting.
Staff
Many reviews emphasize the overall friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, noting their effort to go above and beyond to accommodate guests. This level of care is evident across various shifts with visitors appreciating the staff's willingness to provide recommendations, assist in handling logistics and facilitate special requests.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there are occasional mentions of less amiable interactions with specific staff members, although these instances appear to be rare. Nonetheless, the general consensus remains highly favorable with guests often highlighting the excellent service and genuine kindness encountered during their stay. This steadfast dedication to hospitality makes Hostal Sierpes a standout choice for travelers seeking a welcoming and well-managed accommodation in the heart of Seville.
Wi-Fi
However, a significant number of reviews indicated issues with Wi-Fi connectivity within the private rooms. Several guests mentioned that the Wi-Fi was weak, slow or non-existent in their rooms with some unable to access the internet entirely. It was noted that while strong Wi-Fi coverage was consistent in communal areas, the signal didn't reach the rooms effectively. Guests also reported instances where the Wi-Fi was not working upon arrival or when they needed to charge their devices, as electricity would be off when not in the room.
Overall, while 'Hostal Sierpes' offers good Wi-Fi in shared spaces, guests seeking reliable room-based internet access might encounter challenges.
Nightlife
The area is bustling with numerous bars and restaurants, attracting beautiful people from different nationalities who come to enjoy the festivities. This lively atmosphere extends into the night, especially on weekends when flamenco shows and concerts are a common feature.
However, the spirited nightlife comes with its downsides. There is a considerable amount of noise at night, both from the flamenco shows and the busy streets lined with bars. Noise from tourists, motorcycles and the sounds of cobblestones can be disruptive. The hostel's rooms are not well soundproofed, resulting in additional noise from adjacent rooms and the internal bar. Despite this, some find it relatively quiet during certain times, such as weekends in December.
While the energetic nightlife can be a bit overwhelming, the hostel offers a 24-hour desk, providing a sense of safety for its guests. For those who revel in the vibrant culture and late-night festivities, Hostal Sierpes offers an authentic experience right in the heart of Seville's dynamic scene.
