It used to be a good hotel (with a slight business feeling) and it still is in terms of location, service and cleanliness. Rooms a quite big and with a touch of traditional Andalusian design. But some rooms (which are really well kept and clean!) literally go to pieces: we were forced to change rooms twice during 4-night stay! In first room there were a hole in a shower hose, and in second one an electric control (a place you insert your key card to switch an electricity on) just broke to peaces one day (without any damage, thanks God).

In other aspects it is quite good, with light and clean rooms, free wireless Internet, in-room kettle, etc. Location is a highlight: it is very close to the city center (just 10 minutes by walk to the Cathedral), but still without tourist crowds and noise. There are plenty of shops, stores and cafes nearby, and a place itself is splurge residential district (btw, it's not Triana, it is Los Remedios, although this hotel network has another hotel in Triana, too).

It's not the old, stylish or luxurious hotel, but it's practical if you have a car which you can park in the vicinity. Ans if you like to walk, it's a nice 15 minutes to all the sites in the old town just across the river. The hotel is not special at all, the architecture is even quite ugly, 60-70s style, but it has all you need to get a good rest!

The hotel is situated in the Triana neighbourhood of Sevilla. Close to the center but at this time of the year fairly much free of tourists and quite lively with local people visiting the numerous tapa bars. The personnel at the reception were very friendly and helpful and very willing to provide information about the city and the nearby restaurants and bars. The room was quite spacious with mini bar, hair dryer etc. There was a problem with the WIFI but that was solved within 20 minutes and the staff came to the room with a new user name and password. The only thing lacking was parking place because the garage is very small and was full at the time.

After having a look at the other reviews I had to check if I had accidentally stayed at the wrong hotel - but nope. We stayed for 5 nights in October. If we hadn't paid up front we would have left after night 1. It feels like an old man's hostel. On the plus side, if you have a car the underground carpark would be good and the staff are very helpful. On the minus side (which far outweighs the plus), this place is not good value for Sevilla or for Spain; it's a 1970s dump and there are far nicer, cleaner places. Unless parking is important, don't stay out here where nothing is located, stay in the attractive part of town. There was an awful smell emanating through the reception the 5 days we were there and we made the mistake of wiping off some spilt water on the dressing table the first night and realised just how dirty the place is. Yuck! It isn't very well maintained or clean. The decor is a very tired 70s green,yellow and orange. Overall we had that 'YUCK' feeling about the whole place where you don't want to touch anything. The aircon was rather dodgy and worked some nights and was boiling others. The worst place we stayed in Spain by far. There are fabulous places to stay in Sevilla for the budget. Unless you are desperate don't stay at the Montecarmelo.
