Have stayed for three nights at Hostel One Centro. Perhaps it really depends on what you are looking for, but I do not get where the top reviews come from. Have stayed in dozens of hostels in South East Asia (Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and so on), Ecuador, and Poland so this was not my first time staying in a hostel. On arrival we were greeted by a guy behind the reception who was too stoned to even process a payment. Perhaps this is considered to be high standard in some hostels, but to me this was interesting to say the least. We stayed in a 4 persons dorm on the ground floor. Although the bunk beds were fine and the lockers provided were spacious, the rest was just poor. Bathroom was big - almost as big as the whole room - but very old and dirty. Dirty shower curtain, clear signs of mold. In addition, the room was next to the outside terrace - exactly - the place where the receptionist got stoned. Not only did this cause noise at night, the Amsterdam like smell of **** is terrible What was also interesting were the people hanging out in the central hall at 2 at night. They were quiet (that's a plus) but I still wonder what they were doing there. Speaking about the other guests, it all very much felt like hippie travellers (skate boards, dreadlocks, ****, ..). Receptionist would love these types of travellers I suppose... Would consider other hostels if ever returning to Seville again. To finish with some positive items - a plus for single travellers would definitely be that the hostel organizes social activities through a whatsapp group. Great way to meet people. Also, location wise it is great.
