room00 Salvador Hostel
Seville's biggest-volume Old Town hostel, 90 seconds from the Pub Crawl Sevilla meetup
room00 Salvador is Seville's highest-volume backpacker operation — 8,607 reviews, 250+ beds across 4 floors, and a location 90 seconds from Plaza del Salvador where the Pub Crawl Sevilla meets nightly. Thick-duvet pod dorms, in-house tapas bar with daily 2.50 EUR cañas, and the kind of rotating multinational dorm crowd you only get at the big-volume Old Town hostels.
Room00 Salvador sits on a corner of Buiza y Mensaque, a side street that runs between Plaza del Salvador and the Cathedral. The address is the former Koisi Hostel before a rebrand — Booking may show either redirect, the building is the same 250-bed operation. It's the largest hostel in central Seville by bed count and the one that feels most like a city centre backpacker institution rather than a boutique guesthouse.
The ground floor is a proper bar with tapas service 19:00-00:00 — jamón platters, salmorejo by the bowl, and 2.50 EUR cañas at the bar that are exactly the Seville going rate. This is the social engine: guests filter down from dorms around 19:30, pre-game for the 21:00 Pub Crawl Sevilla meetup three blocks away at Plaza del Salvador, and the bar gets loose until midnight.
Dorms are 4, 6, 8 and 10 beds with pods (curtains, USB, reading light) and a notable number of window-less interior rooms — mentioned repeatedly in reviews, and a real consideration if you need natural light to function. The thick mattresses and duvets get specific praise; guests compare favourably to thinner chain-hostel bedding. Shared bathrooms are one per 8 beds approximately, clean but can queue at 09:00.
Breakfast is an optional 5 EUR add-on — coffee, toast, pastries, yogurt, fruit — served 07:30-10:30 on the mezzanine. Not a destination breakfast but useful on a 07:00 day-trip morning to Córdoba.
The trade-off: 250 beds means less personal social programme than La Banda Rooftop or The Loft House. Staff don't know your name by night two. But the room00 ecosystem — Plaza del Salvador on your doorstep, in-house bar, volume — is the most efficient way to land in Old Town Seville with zero friction and plenty of strangers to drink with.

“Spacious room, helpful staff, close to centre, good for value, lively common area. The tapas bar downstairs was the best way to meet other guests before the pub crawl.”
“Location is perfect, staff were very nice. We walked to the Cathedral in three minutes and the Alcázar in seven. The 2.50 EUR cañas in the bar are a bargain.”
“Great location, nice and modern interior with clever solutions in the pods. Windowless room on night one was a drawback — swap to an exterior for night two if you can.”
