Insider Tip

JOY Setas Coworking

Oasis Backpackers' Hostel is a popular choice for budget travellers who want a great location and an affordable price. The staff here organize activities for guests and you can take advantage of the pub crawl, walking tours, and more. Many of the activities are combined with the hostel's sister location (the Palace), so you can meet travellers from other hostels as well.

The Facilities

Dorms

Dorm rooms sleep either four, six, or eight people and are co-ed. The rooms are basic but the beds are decent. The rooms with less beds tend to be smaller in size and can feel a bit cramped. All rooms have an en-suite bathroom and the rooms are kept clean.The temperature is kept warm in the winter months and cold in the summer months.

Bathrooms

All of the rooms have en-suite bathrooms, which is a nice convenience. Everything is cleaned regularly and well maintained.

Bar

The rooftop terrace has its own bar, which is a great place to hang out and meet other guests. They have nightly happy hours and the drinks are reasonably priced, which is good because you're not allowed to bring your own drinks onto the terrace. This is a great place to start your night before heading out with the pub crawl.

Common Areas

Most guests hang out on the terrace by the pool, but if you want a relaxing indoor place to pass the time, there's a common area with sofas and chairs. This is a good place to relax with a book or plan you day's adventure. There's also a small shared kitchen where you can cook up some delicious meals.

Pool

Yes, they have a pool! It's a great place to take refreshing dip on a hot summer day. The water is cool and the setting on the rooftop is nice. Many guests enjoy hanging out by the pool after a long day exploring the city. For many guests, this is a favorite part of their stay and a big reason they choose this hostel.

Outdoor Space

The rooftop terrace is the place to be if you want to soak up the Spanish sun. With a pool, bar, and plenty of seating, this is the best place to hang out at the hostel.

The Location

El Centro

What's Nearby?

Oasis Backpackers Hostel is all about location. It's under half a mile from Seville Cathedral and the Giralda Tower in an area with great tapas bars and plenty of local restaurants. Within walking distance you'll find Torre del Oro, the Real Alscazar, Barrio de Santa Cruz and Plaza de Toros.

Nearby Transportation

This hostel's central location means you really won't have to depend on public transportation much at all, but if you do need a bus, there are plenty around.

Activities

This hostel is all about the activities. They often join with partner hostels for walking tours, pub crawls, and other great events. Some of the best events are the impromptu gathering on the terrace by the pool, so head upstairs if you're hoping to meet other guests. Dinners are available nightly (for a reasonable price) and this is a great way to meet other guests.
