About
La Banda Rooftop Hostel
La Banda Rooftop Hostel sits on Dos de Mayo street in Seville's Old Town, about a 10-minute walk from Puerta de Jerez tube station and the Paseo Colon bus stop. It is an adults-only, 2-star property with a lift, 24-hour reception, and a snack and drink vending machine. The hostel makes a point of fostering connection: guests mention a welcome drink, family dinners, tapas and flamenco evenings, and a walking tour.
The rooftop bar is the centrepiece — a spot to watch the floodlit cathedral and the sunset over the river while eating tapas. Rooms range from 4-, 6-, and 8-bed dorms (including female-only options) to a double with shared bathroom. Some dorms have private bathrooms, garden views, and added touches like coffee machines and balconies.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scores lower than other categories — Comfort rates 7.2 — the lowest category — suggesting some guests find the beds or general comfort less impressive than the social atmosphere.
- Adults-only policy — This hostel does not accept children under any circumstances. That can be a positive or a limitation depending on your travel party.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals need to look elsewhere — La Banda does not permit pets on site.
- No on-site parking — Parking information is not available, and the central Old Town location suggests limited or costly options nearby. Guests arriving by car should plan ahead.

The bottom line
La Banda Rooftop Hostel delivers on what matters most for many travellers: a sociable, well-run base in the heart of Seville. The rooftop bar is a genuine draw, staff go out of their way, and the location puts you steps from the main sights. Comfort is slightly less consistent, and the adults-only policy isn't for everyone, but for solo travellers and groups who value atmosphere, it's a strong pick.
8.9Who it's for: travellers who want a social, well-located hostel with a standout rooftop and don't mind the adults-only rule.
