We were a little surprised, on arrival, to realise that we had booked ourselves into a hostel. On re-reading the information we received we realised that we could have drawn the conclusion that this would be a different kind of accommodation than what we had experienced before with AirBnB.

This is not a criticism of the accommodation. We were met by Lucia at the desk and given information about which room we were to have. She showed us to our room and pointed out the bathrooms. Somehow we missed the information that there was a kitchen on the third floor of the hostel (the mention in small print on the wall of our room of cutlery in an "office" might have been a clue) and didn't discover this until late on the second day. The hostel is in a good location for a visit to Seville and easy to find near the Plaza del Duque. It is very clean and well maintained and has a nice roof terrace, good for relaxing and enjoying the attractive tops of churches and houses around. It's also the place to dry your clothes on racks provided after they have been washed by the laundry service (at a very reasonable cost).

We do feel that hostel accommodation has a different atmosphere and that there should perhaps be a separate category for this kind of accommodation with AirBnB.
