Hostal Hispalense

Hostal Hispalense is a quirky and homey hostel located on the second floor of the building labeled with 12 on Calle de las Fuentes. It’s really hard to find at first since the sign is very small so it’s better to look for the large «12.» The kind old women managing the place do not speak English but do speak French and of course Spanish. So… be ready to speak French or Spanish or have a lot of difficulty with communication.
The walls are really thin so you can hear almost everything from your neighbors so if you’re a light sleeper, this is probably not the place for you. They also have a cute black cat with green eyes that wanders around the whole place. The halls are sometimes smoky but the rooms are clean and smoke-​free.
We paid about 60 euro per night for a twin room. Breakfast is 12 euro but you can easily find food around (like at San Ginos just a couple minutes away) so no need to pay for it. Overall, we were satisfied with this place but can understand if others do not like it. Definitely needs a positive attitude and open mind.
