We drove into Seville late at night and found the Novotel which was the most reasonably priced hotel we could find without a prior booking. It is located close the the train station and only a couple of stops away from the city and adjacent to a shopping mall. Don't eat in the restaurant, have breakfast next door at the cafe much cheaper and better quality. The hotel is only a 3 star and the paper cups in the room makes it feel like 2 star (Shame on your Novotel). It has a bit of a no frills feel to it but in a good location and close to public transport, shops and plenty of restaurants/cafes. We managed to get parking on the street so saved the daily fee. I can recommend the restaurants located at the back of the hotel past the stadium which serve food well past midnight and well priced.

This is a good value hotel considering the size of the room and facilities such as free wifi and swimming pool (seasonal). The staff are helpful but at times there was a long wait at reception. The hotel is located right next to a metro station which is useful as it is a monotonous 20 minute walk in to the old town. There is also a shopping mall next door which we were not impressed by, only a couple of good shops.
Overall we were pleased with our stay, the room needed modernising (horrible paintings, mould around the bath, stained carpet) but it was generally clean and tv had a couple of English channels and a little fridge. Tea facilities were not great, there were paper cups and the tea bags/UHT milk were not replenished daily.
We were in Seville on and around New Year's Eve and found it arduous having to walk from the hotel to the centre and back a couple of times every day. I feel I should add that we felt totally safe in Seville and even at 3am we were comfortable in terms if safety with the walk back to the hotel. The last metro is at 11pm and even though there is only one line and a few stops, it is quite expensive- about €5.50 for a day pass (although easy to use and very modern).
Next time I visit Seville I will stay more centrally, in the old town as the surroundings are a lot more charming and it feels less run-down.

we enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It was close to old town and tourist attractions. and also close to shopping centers. It was clean and comfortable. we wanted to celebrate our friends birthday and the staffs in Cafe gave us the possibility to do it there. it was very kind from them because we bought our cake outside and we needed to keep it cool. and they put it in refrigerator for us. The only to say negative thing was the car parking. normally when we dont want to park in the parking which provided by hotel (because they are expensive) we park somewhere around, but this was not possible in this case cause it was located in the very populated area. and we had to pay parking price.
