“Absolutely amazing hotel, feels nothing like a two star. Well kept, clean and amazing staff - super helpful. The breakfast served was amazing with a good menu to choose from and tasted fresh (mostly stuck to salmon/tuna toast) I requested a packed breakfast on my last day as I had to leave before the breakfast time and the chef was sweet enough to start a bit early and packed it for me - ready to go! The location is fine, it’s quiet but would be a 14 mins bus to get to Seville (which is not too bad - the buses are every half an hour or so)”
“A great Boutique hotel on the outskirts of Seville. Really beautiful design and the rooms were comfortable and clean and we had an amazing terrace with a stunning view. The extra special feature was the bar / cafe which had great outdoor seating and a nice vibe. Brilliant at a great price in a lovely location.”
“Nice Hotel 10min drive outside Sevilla. We stayed here for 1 night. Clean Rooms, we paid 59 for two beds. Lunch is 8-10€.”
“Although rated as a two-star hotel, it felt a step above that. Check-in was straightforward and well organised, and the security was reassuring, with key access to both room doors and the main entrance for late-night entry. The €10 service wash was excellent value, and the rooms were clean with good-quality bedding. We also enjoyed the bar, where the service was friendly and efficient. The location suited us well as we preferred to stay just outside the city—there’s an easy bus journey in, and the occasional Uber back was simple enough. Parking was free, and overall the price felt very fair. A few small improvements would have made the stay even better: there was no safe in the room, the pillows were quite firm, and tea/coffee-making facilities would have been a nice addition. That said, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily return.”
“This is the nicest place we have stayed in so far in our travels in Spain. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly. We arrived late at night from a long walk from downtown Sevilla and they were still able to accommodate our stay after reception hours. I would also recommend purchasing their breakfast ahead of time on the website with your room which was a lovely addition to the morning. One tip I would highly recommend is getting transportation here in advance as the hotel is far from the city center. The city is not very walkable at the moment in certain areas.”
“Mixed experience overall. On the one hand - the hotel is really nice. It's clean and well-maintained. The staff is nice, friendly, and speaks English, which is a rarity in Spain. On the other hand - no hotel parking, just a paid public parking nearby, one of the elevators (the more convenient one) was not working, and room numbering was done by a drunken architect (no logic whatsoever). And the final, biggest issue was smoking. The hotel was no smoking, the room was no smoking, but no one really enforced that, which ended up in a horrible smoking smell in the room. We had to open the balcony just so we could breathe. Honestly, it would have been 5 star if not for that.”
