I stayed at a family-run small hostel, picked from The Rough Guide to Spain. I made my reservation from the train station in Sevilla, during high season, so I think this place isn''t at the top of the list for budget travellers and might be a good shot if you''re strapped for choice. Even if not, I''d recommend it, as it is really well situated, just on the edge of Barrio Santa Cruz, by a lovely Plaza Alfafa (a popular night spot, with loads of bars, restaurants and action), the owners are super friendly and relaxed, the rooms are simple and reasonably clean (for a 1-star hostel), and the price is great (I paid 3,000 pts/$16, for a single en-suite room). Don''t expect great décor or atmosphere, but you''ll love the building''s typical Sevillian patio. Also, be prepared for some noise at night, as the narrow street that the hostel is on has a fair amount of traffic and revelers passing through all night long.
