One of Seville's most popular hostels, centrally located with a rooftop pool (a rarity for this price), free breakfast, bar, and a sociable atmosphere. Dorm beds and private rooms available. Regular events including free tapas tours and pub crawls. Also has branches in Granada and Málaga.
Oasis Backpackers Seville is one of the highest-rated budget hostels in Spain, located on Calle Almirante Ulloa in central Seville — walking distance from the Cathedral, the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, and the Guadalquivir riverfront. The hostel's rooftop pool is its signature feature and something extremely rare among budget accommodation options anywhere in Europe at this price point. Free breakfast is included in all dorm and private room rates, which combined with the pool makes this one of the most generous value propositions in Seville. Accommodation options span mixed and gender-specific dormitories and private rooms with or without en-suite bathrooms. The bar and common areas are sociable and well-maintained; staff-led events include free tapas bar walks, pub crawls, and occasional city tours. Oasis Backpackers operates a small chain across southern Spain with branches in Granada and Málaga — all carrying the same combination of social atmosphere, free breakfast, and central location. The Seville branch regularly receives top ratings on both Hostelworld and Booking.com and is particularly popular with solo travellers and first-time Seville visitors who benefit from staff guidance on what to see and where to eat. The hostel is an ideal base for covering Seville's main sights — the Alcázar, Cathedral, Triana neighbourhood, and flamenco venues — all accessible on foot within 20 minutes.
