We have stayed at the hotel twice this year: once as a small family group (2 nights) and once with a school group of 21 students and 4 staff(4 nights). On both occasions we were welcomed and treated as honoured guests. Our requests for room changes and special meals for the group were dealt with promptly and with wonderful good humour. The staff could not do enough to make sure that our stay was pleasant and comfortable. The bus service to and from town felt like a personal taxi service. Food was excellent on both occcasions and exactly what was wanted (richer for family, simple for students). One niggle: problems with wifi on our second visit.

Hotel three nights dinner bed and breakfast.
room Just OK breakfast Just OK but set dinner on three nights-Diabolical
no choice starter main and pIece of fruit-Food of a very poor quality and service worse than faulty towers!
Area around hotel is pretty rough.

We really liked the hotel. It is a little out of town but the family that owns and runs this hotel was extremely helpful and accommodating. Jose drove us in and out of downtown Sevilla, the shuttle service is included. The front desk speaks English and filled us in on what to do around town. Breakfast was more than adequate and included in the price. The room was airconditioned, clean and comfortable. We have a laptop and wireless was available and free in our room. For all this the price couldn't be beat. I would stay at Hotel Dona Carmela again.

First of all I have to say that the location is not bad if you are driving. The street parking in front is free and there were plenty of empty spots. It is in a working class neighborhood about 7 km outside of the city center and a public bus stop is a block from the hotel. It costs 1 euro or a multiple ride pass can be purchased that can be shared by several people. Driving and parking in Sevilla is difficult and expensive.
Our room, which was in the front, was very dark because of closed steel shutters outside the windows but they did help keep down the noise from the street. The beds were the most uncomfortable we encountered on our trip. They just had a rubberized bottom sheet and no mattress pad. Very sweaty and hard. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was simply awful. The front desk personnel were not very friendly either, much more than the typical Spanish reserve.
