My husband and I chose this hotel for the second part of our Spanish honeymoon. We were drawn to stay here because of its unique layout, good location, and the rooftop pool. We planned to stay for two nights, leave for a night, then return for one more night.
Check in the first time went smoothly, and we received one of the newer rooms complete with a king-sized bed and a whirlpool tub. Sadly, the lighting was poor as we were on the first floor and got minimal light. This being a honeymoon, that was not a problem. We timed it, it took over four minutes to get from the lobby to our room. Quite a trek.
Our second room was closer, but not nearly as nice. Clearly, this room had not been rehabbed. It was considerably bigger than our first room, but the bathroom fixtures were much older than the ones in our first room. That being said, it was a fine room for our additional night spent in Sevilla. I recommend you request a remodeled room when making a reservation. They just are so much nicer.
Some pluses:
-Free wifi in some common areas (certain patio areas and in the piano bar)
-Great location. We were able to walk to the cathedral, Alcazar, and the bus station.
-Friendly staff. When we had issues with our bus trip, the gentleman at the front desk was helpful in looking up the website for us.
-Our newer room was very nice. Clean, well-furnished and comfortable.
The biggest downside to this hotel? The pool was closed. Despite it being over 90 degrees each of the days we stayed in Sevilla, due to it being "winter," the pool was not open for use. (We stayed in early October.) I do understand the need to close a pool seasonally, however this information was not posted/made known anywhere. My husband and I chose this hotel partly for the pool, and sadly we were not able to take a siesta dip as I had hoped. Be forewarned if you want to use the pool: It is not always open.
All in all, I would stay here again. It is such a unique and rather romantic place to stay, completely different than any other hotel I've stayed.
