Our Honest Take
From the Hostelpedia team. No BS, just real advice
JOY Setas is the best digital-nomad hostel in Andalusia and the clearest differentiator pick in Seville's hostel market. The coworking room is not an afterthought corner with a shared desk — it's a 30-station room with monitors, printer, and proper chairs, and the 300 Mbps fibre genuinely holds up for video calls even when the dorms are full. At 8.6 from 943 reviews the social programme is quieter than La Banda Rooftop or Black Swan, which is the trade-off: work-first, party-second. Book it if you're stretching Seville from 3 nights into 7-10. Skip if you're on a Spain-in-a-week sprint — the coworking premium isn't worth it if you won't use it.
🎯 Insider Tips
- 1Reserve a coworking seat the night before by WhatsApp to the hostel number. Walk-ins get the 6 back-row seats, advance bookings get the window seats with Las Setas view.
- 2Thursday 19:00 coworkers mixer with free tapas is the best-attended social event — block the calendar if you land Thu morning.
- 3Dorms on floor 4 (top) are quieter than floor 2 (same level as coworking). Request floor 4 if you're on video calls late evening.
- 4For a 10-night stay, negotiate the weekly rate at reception — typically 15-20% off the nightly price, published on a whiteboard behind the desk.

📖 The Full Story
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.

🇷🇸 Serbia · January 2026
“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.”
