My Honest Review of the New Samay Hostel in Seville

Seville is another must-see city in Spain, and if you want to stay central to everything while also saving money, hostels are the way to go. I recently stayed at the New Samay Hostel Sevilla (A.K.A. Seville, Spain), and I’m here to share my honest thoughts on this Seville hostel to help you decide if it sounds like a place you’d like to check out during your own trip to Seville.


How Much Does It Cost to Stay at the New Samay Hostel?
The cost of staying at the New Samay Hostel will depend on several factors, such as when you go and the type of room you book. For reference, I visited in mid-April and stayed in a 6-person room. This hostel actually had one of the lowest rates throughout my Spain trip, only costing me 25 euros per night, with a total of 50 euros for a 2-night stay.

What Is There To Do at the New Samay Hostel?
From my experience, the New Samay was pretty low-key and didn’t have a ton of social activities going on. However, they do have a really nice rooftop where you can sit and hang out or get work done. I imagine this is probably a spot where people might hang out at night too, though I didn’t personally hang out there myself.

The best part about this hostel is its accessibility to things in town, though. So while activities at the hostel itself may be limited, you can easily get to the major sites around Seville like the Plaza de España, Giralda Tower, local flamenco shows, and more.


What I Liked About the New Samay Seville

• Location - This hostel is within walking distance to all the major Seville sights. It’s also walking distance from the train station.
• Friendly service - The people working the front desk were really nice.
• Quiet - This isn’t a party hostel, so it’s a good spot if you’re looking to actually get some sleep while in Seville.
• Spacious bathroom - Although there was a single bathroom space in our 6-person dorm, it was spacious so you could easily get ready in there.
• Privacy curtains - Each bed in our room came with a privacy curtain that helped make it easier to fall asleep.
• Free coffee - While some hostels charge for food and coffee, the New Samay provides free coffee each morning. You’ll still have to get your own breakfast, though.

What I Didn’t Like About the New Samay Seville
I honestly didn’t have any complaints about this one. I thought it was a good hostel, and I had a positive experience when I was there.
