“Unusual, but very good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

A treasure of a place, each room has its own character, the staff do their best to help and it's very comfortable. The Giralda is about 20 minutes away on foot & there are lots of restaurants and tapas bars nearby. Rooms are excellent, but take a universal basin plug with you. Failing that the shot glasses just about fulfil the need!
Breakfast was good, not too fancy but quite sufficient. Comfortable bed, English TV channels, traffic noise quite bearable. The only slight downside was the price in low season - a bit on the steep side at €350 for 2 rooms for 2 nights. But go on, spoil yourself!

“Unique Moroccan style hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We really enjoyed this hotel. Nicely designed room & friendly staff, we really liked the Moroccan feel of the room. Quit at night with insulated windows. This is not a Boutique hotel but a VERY nice 3 star hotel with good taste & ambiance as the price indicates.
Location is not perfect, it's just at the edge of the historic area about 20 minutes walk to the center. Our room was large with a cool bathroom, dbl sink, nice mattress.

“Disapointing.. Definitely not a 4 star hotel by any stretch.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

stayed 4 nights, First night in a smelly room, Pillows and all curtains and fabrics smelled of smoke. Moved to a better room.
Overall, the atmosphere is fake moorish. Breakfast is very poor. Poor selection of cereals, unripe fruit, stodgy croisants, meat and cheeses left out in the warmth for hours. Location is ok if you are not located on the streetside, as it is by a noisy street. Definitely not a 4 star hotel by any stretch.
Water from showers goes everywhere. Expensive for what it is.
Good points, close to Alameda de Hercules, and all its Tapas bars and nightlife. Helpful staff.

We give so much importance to the comments and complaints of every guest and work every day to solve those details and improve to have success in our goal: your satisfaction.

But we think that this contribution is really unfair. Specially the comment about the atmosphere. We have worked so hard studying how the ancient population of Sevilla lived, researching documents, searching for artisans in morocco and in andalusia to provide floors, tadelackt, mosaiques, fabrics, ceramics from Fes, carving woden beds from Marrakech and Rabat, handmade metal basins, etc that still are made in the same way as they were made 10 centuries ago. We are very proud of the result and it can be considered everything but a fake simply because every single element of our hotel is real and has a lot of hours of handmade work on it. We have put them here altogether for our guests to enjoy.

Moreover, we could not make a moorish fake having in Sevilla the Giralda, the Torre del Oro and the Alcazar, -moorish art jewels- for you to compare.

Concerning the other comments, everyting can always be improved and we work on that but aspects such as the smelly room (never had a complaint about that before and moreover, the room has two balconies that could be opened to refresh the air), breakfast (5 types of cereals, very good fruit -we are in Andalusia, Spain, I'm sorry-, fresh orange juice,...) and price for value (he paid 125€ per night, taxes & breakfast included and with upgrading in high season) give us a clue of how special are some clients and how unfair are sometimes their comments.

“No so boutique after all”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for our Easter break. I guess we should have been alarmed that they had rooms at such a short notice. The room we were given was very damp and smelly and dark. Aircon didn't work, pumping heat instead. The hotel itself is on the outskirts of the city and in not a particularly nice area, you have to walk 20 min to find a restaurant or a bar. The people at front desk kept sending us to places which were shut for Easter break until we started to insist that they call in advance to check. I am sure there are better hotels to stay in Seville for this amount of money. It is unfortunate that some places can get away calling themselves boutique hotels when there is nothing boutique about them, except the room rate.
