JOY Setas Coworking
Seville's coworking-first hostel at the foot of Las Setas, digital-nomad-calibrated
JOY Setas is the coworking-first hostel right beside the Metropol Parasol / Las Setas, with a dedicated 30-desk workspace, fibre Wi-Fi, and a rooftop that doubles as the after-5pm social space. Rating 8.6 from 943 reviews, popular with digital nomads on 1-2 week stays who fold a Seville work-stretch into an Andalusia circuit.
JOY Setas sits on Calle Compañía, 30 seconds from the mushroom-shaped Metropol Parasol (Las Setas) and 6 minutes from the Cathedral. The building is a modern conversion with a lift — a practical detail for anyone hauling a laptop backpack. Formerly branded Oasis Backpackers Seville (the booking URL still redirects from the old name), JOY Setas re-positioned around coworking and is now the city's only hostel with a purpose-built workspace in its square-metre count.
The coworking room is on floor 2: 30 desks, ergonomic chairs, monitors available on request (20 EUR/week deposit), a printer, a kitchenette with filter coffee, and fibre Wi-Fi that actually tests at 300+ Mbps. Hours 08:00-22:00, quiet zone enforced until 17:00, looser after. Day pass free for guests, 12 EUR for external workers.
Dorms are 4, 6, and 8 beds with pods (curtains, USB, reading light), shared bathrooms, and good AC. The shared kitchen is proper size — 4 hobs, 2 ovens, 2 large fridges — reflecting the longer-stay guest profile: people who extend to 10 nights cook their own dinners rather than tapas every night.
The rooftop opens 17:00 and runs until 23:00 with Las Setas lit up as the backdrop. It's the social switchover point — laptops close at 17:30 and the same guests who were typing at noon are on the roof with 2.50 EUR beers by 18:30. Thursday is the hostel's signature 'coworkers mixer' with free tapas at 19:00.
Walking tours leave from the Las Setas base at 10:30 daily — guests can just walk 200m and join. The hostel doesn't run its own bar crawl; for party nights, Black Swan 6 minutes south-east runs the main one. JOY Setas is the quieter, work-forward booking, not the stag-party option.

“Nice and comfortable place with space to work and have meetings, which is exactly why I picked it over three other hostels. The 300 Mbps held up for my 2-hour client call at 17:00 with the dorms full.”
“Amazing place in a great location and with lovely staff. Had a great week — the coworking room is a proper office, not a corner with a shared desk.”
“All the staff was just so nice and helpful, great kitchen and rooftop. Thursday free-tapas mixer was where I met my Seville week-friends.”
