“Charming, but not for everybody”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2009

person found this review helpful

In an old building, with corridors opening onto lovely small courtyards, this place is full of character. Their website shows photos of all the different rooms; scroll over them and their name will appear on the screen, so you can try and select your favourite. We were in "Angelus", which was nice, but didn't have much natural light, being on the ground floor with window over one of the small courtyards. I guess this is the case for most rooms, but must be good to keep them cool in the summer (probably first floor would have more light). The bed was small and the bathroom not tiled so the paint was coming off in the wettest areas. Also, there was limescale on the bath tap. See photo. The hotel is very quiet. The bell of the nearby church, mentioned in somebody else's review, was not an issue for us, and would be heard also in other hotels, as they are all in the same area. The breakfast room was lovely and relaxing.
We parked our car in an unpaved area opposite hotel Alcazar de la Reina, which was free. Our favourite place for dinner was El Tabanco, which belongs to hotel Alcazar de la Reina, but has independent entrance.
Carmona is not to be missed and there isn't much choice of medium priced hotels. I would stay here again, trying to select the room in advance.

“Beautiful hotel but shame about the noise!!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 November 2007

I agree with all the other reviews, this is a beuatiful hotel in a gorgeous town but please be aware that this hotel is next to a church and the clock chimes every half an hour with one chime and on the hour for the time. So our friends and us had a terrible nights sleep, and there was no way of drowning out the noise. We went to have breakfast and we must have been the only people in the hotel as there was very little available. There wasn't a single member of staff to be seen but someone had left us some cereal, buns and fruit. The milk was UHT left in the carton on the side half empty and warm and the orange juice was sunny delight!!! We took one look and decided to leave and find a cafe in the town. This hotel would be great for a couple on honeymoon as it is so romantic and abviously on honeymoon you wouldn't need much sleep!

“Beautiful, Great Value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2007

person found this review helpful

I stayed here for one night in Sept. 2006. It was my last night in Spain after a 14 day trip. This was a very memorable hotel. The decorations are beautiful and the furniture. We had a conopy bed. There is a beautiful library with free use of computer, the only one on our trip. It is tucked away on a side street next to the church. Although the streets are narrow we had no problem finding it. Carmona is a beautiful gem of a little town. It is also on highway to the airport away from the traffic of seville.

“Outstanding hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2007

This hotel is a gem, the location is perfect and the staff attentive and caring. The rooms are very unique and comfortable. Due to it´s location near a famous church, they are not permitted to post signs, so follow their directions carefully.
