This classic Andalucian house is not by any means posh, but it is comfy and outfitted in tile, marble, wood and stained glass. The staff at the front desk was cordial and helpful. The lobby is small, with a phone booth and a computer terminal for internet access (1E for 30-minutes of use, pay the desk clerk) and around a corner there is a beverage machine. There are also wifi zones on the 2nd floor (in a booknook lounge area by the stairs) and in the breakfast room. However, we were never able to actually access any sites on our Droids, despite being connected to the system.
There is no lift, but it is a minor inconvenience and a reminder to pack light. While the room was reminiscent of Soviet-era accommodations, it was unfailingly clean (as is the case with most hotels in our Spanish experiences) and the air conditioning was most effective. Our family of four shared one room that provided enough space for our needs, with a wardrobe, two single beds and a sofa/bed with a trundle that popped up from it. All beds were suitably restful, especially after full days exploring the area. There is a nice rooftop terrace, but we only spent some time there one night enjoying a Cruz Campo beer from the lobby vendnig machine (2E). The bathroom was tight but adequate (taller people will need to straddle the toilet as there's no room for knees should one wish to sit). The tub is a surprising half-length one, but as I prefer showers, it was fine (just a bit of a climb to get into it).
Breakfast, from 8 to 10:30, perfectly adequate by Spanish standards and for the price (free), is served in a small breakfast room that fills rather quickly. It consists of cafe and chocolate, juices, breads, cereal, yogurt...that sort of thing.
The B&B Naranjo's location, tucked away in a small alley, was terrific...near interesting shops, cafes and bars. We were able to walk to plenty of places, including the Antiquarium, the tourist office (with free internet access at several terminals), the Cathedral of Seville (where Christopher Columbus's tomb in perhaps the most famous spot here). We also easily crossed a bridge into Triana and strolled along the river to another bridge and back to the B&B Naranjo.
Travelers seeking all the mod cons will likely prefer one of the fancy, newer, larger western-style hotels to the humble B&B Naranjo. However, we found it charming, convenient and priced right. We would gladly stay here again.
