“Windowless and Odd”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I'll start with the positives: It's close to plenty of restaurant options, and to the cathedral. It's relatively cheap but I've stayed at nicer places for cheaper. We got our own bathroom which was well worth it.

Negatives:
We got there at 3 in the afternoon and the door was locked with no one around (it's down a little ally). We just stood there banging on the door for 15 minutes before someone came out of a different house and let us in, he was confused and spoke no english. I'm not sure how you run a hostal without knowing a single word of English but this guy thinks he can do it. The rooms are windowless...so beware, you'll always think its night time. The bathroom is kind of clean, the beds are pretty uncomfortable but that's what you get when you stay at any place in this price range.

When we were leaving to check out, this guy was no where to be found because they have no reception desk! I wandered up the private rooms and knocked on those doors and he finally came out, annoyed. Seriously, people have to check in and out of your place so make it easier. This was the most annoying thing and the reason I gave this place a 2, you never know where the owners are so you can't relay anything to them. FRUSTRATING.

Room Tip: Ask for as room for a bathroom, otherwise you have to share showers which have specific times you ca...

“If you want a cheap place to stay in Seville....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

My wife and I stayed here this past May during our travels through Andalucia. We booked a private room at the Pension, since we wanted to save some money while staying in Seville. the Pension San Benito was perfect. We are not used tio staying in Hostels (this is just a very nice hostel), and were very happy with our stay. The room is very basic, but well kept. the walls are a bit thin, but we did not have any issues with noise while there. The location is fantastic and is walking distance to everything. We loved our time in Seville and would recommend this pension to anyone travelling on a budget.

“very nice staff - terrible rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Our room had no window or ventilation (to get air, you had to open up the top part of your door that gave onto the common courtyard - you can see this in some of the pictures) and the problem was compounded when we had to use the bathroom.... The pension is run by a very nice family that let me cancel my second night's stay with them at no charge.

“Basic rooms but cheap, clean, comfortable, friendly and well-located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

Pension San Benito Abad is a nice simple pension in the heart of the funky part of Seville. Right in the middle of all the action. Bars, restaurants, tapas bars and a great ice cream maker.

“Overrated! Very basic rooms!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011 via mobile

I chose this accommodation based on the reviews here,and have been very disappointed with what's on offer here. Small rooms with no window, no door-just a curtain to the en suite.

I have stayed in every kind of accommodation over the years and the only way this venue can be rated as anything more than good is if you're usual experience is staying in a hostel. Security is questionable, the insistence on silence in the common area makes it rather atmosphereless and the reception service is pretty much non existent. Strictly for young, (low) budget travellers only!..
