A delightful hotel, superb location with great service and excellent value rooms. The bedrooms are on the second floor, the entrances to each room being set in an attractive gallery ovelooking the covered atrium/courtyard below, which also serves as a cafe/tea-room.
The hotel can probably be best described as a "restaurant with rooms", as the restaurant, which is on the first floor, seems to be its core business. I have to say though, despite the fact that the hotel was really good, we thought the rather grand restaurant was far too expensive, and, although we had a passably good meal, not necessarily the best choice in town! However, as the hotel is so close to the centre of the old part of Seville, you can find many other restaurants within easy walking distance.
We only overnighted as we had a meeting in Seville before moving on to spend a few days in Aracena, but we could definitely have stayed there longer. All the staff were friendly and extremely helpful.
One word of advice. If you are driving, then book a garage space with the hotel in advance. The €20 you pay on top of the room price (we paid €80 for a double room) is well worth it, particularly as the reception staff are only too happy to help you negotiate the car in and out of the lift if you don't feel up to doing it yourself! Parking in the centre of Seville, unless you know the area very well, is a nightmare!
All in all, a great place to stay; within walking distance of everywhere the average tourist wants to visit, friendly and helpful staff, excellent rooms for the price and we would definitely return.
