Why we recommend it
TOC Hostel Sevilla brings the comfort of a modern hotel to hostel prices in one of the best locations in the city. It stands on Calle Miguel Mañara, a short lane running beside the walls of the Real Alcázar between the Avenida de la Constitución and the Santa Cruz quarter, and it is part of a small Spanish group of design hostels with sister properties in other cities.
The accommodation covers a wide range. There are shared bunk rooms for six to eight guests, including female-only rooms, as well as private double rooms, rooms for up to four people, suites with terraces and family suites, so it works for solo backpackers, couples on a budget, groups of friends and families alike. Security is taken seriously, with fingerprint room access, safes in every room and dorm, security cameras and luggage lockers.
The shared spaces are what make the stay. There is a large chill-out terrace, open daily from morning until late evening, a movie room, a fully equipped guest kitchen, a bar and café and a tapas restaurant called TOC TOC Tapas. Reception is open 24 hours, there is free wi-fi, and laundry machines are available for a small charge. The hostel also runs a free city tour, which is an easy way to meet other travellers and get your bearings on the first day.
It suits younger travellers and anyone who wants a sociable atmosphere without giving up comfort and cleanliness. Those looking for a quiet romantic hotel would do better elsewhere. Prices for dorm beds start very low and private rooms are competitively priced for the area, though, as everywhere in Seville, rates rise during Holy Week and the April Fair, when booking well ahead is essential. Contact is available by phone, WhatsApp or email.
The location is hard to beat for sightseeing. The Alcázar entrance, the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias are all within a few minutes' walk, the Santa Cruz quarter begins at the end of the street, and the river, the Torre del Oro and the Maestranza bullring are within ten minutes. The Archivo de Indias and Puerta de Jerez tram stops are close by.
