Hotel Palacio Marqués de Arizón

A 5/10 minute walk to the centre and the beach, this refurbished palace is an exemplar as to how an old building can be turned into a modern hotel. The staff, without exception, were courteous and helpful. The room was large, clean, comfortable. The WiFi was quick and easy to use. Breakfast could have been better but I have had worse, and the coffee was drinkable! If you are coming to Sanlúcar, this hotel is a definite place to consider.

We stayed for 4 nights. Central location, everything within walking distance. Limited parking.

This was a bit of a mixed experience. First impressions were not positive as the front of the hotel was untidy and rubbish was stacked outside. Our room was a decent size and clean but at the front of the hotel by the busy main road, which was very noisy well into the night. The pool area is very small and some of the sun loungers were broken and unusable. There is a bar but it didn't seem to be open when we were there. All in all, didn't feel like a four star hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful though.

We booked this based on the photos and it didn’t disappoint. Whilst the bedrooms are modern, they are a tasteful contrast with the historic origins of the hotel. The old sections are beautifully restored and we loved the glass floor showing the original foundations. ||Breakfast was buffet style with hot and cold options so we could help ourselves. ||There is a very small hotel car park but we used the free on street parking which was safe and plentiful. ||The hotel is a very short walk to the beach/estuary where there are some great seafood restaurants. It’s also an easy stroll to the historic town centre and square too. ||We loved it all.

I found it difficult to find! Satnaved the address and kept driving past it because it is set back from the road with public car park spaces in front of it.....see photo.||Very old building with interesting history but modern inside. The interior patio is quite lovely.||The interior dining room is a bit too modern but with better weather the outside courtyard would make up for it. We ate there 2 nights running. The food was exceptional. Breakfasts had everything you would want....hot and cold.||The staff were friendly and professional.||We requested a top floor room quietly situated. Well that's exactly what we got. The hotel is not high. Lift to just below our floor. The room was excellent. Modern bathroom and very comfortable double bed. Juliette balcony to one side of room and on the other stairs down to our own terrace with view over dining courtyard.||Car park on public car park. Collect display from reception to put in car for free car park.||Short walk to town centre.....about 10 minutes.

This was a great disappointment! Such a beautiful building, so badly used. The rooms are big and have some charm, but everything else leaves lots to be desired. Definitely not a 4-star hotel! I booked for the parking available, the wi-fi, the 4-star. I booked for clients that I was guiding. I arrived with an arm in a sling with clients and there was no-one to help with luggage! There is a cart, but there are steps to go over - understandable, it is an historical building after all, but with no help, it was nearly impossible! The internet and telephone failed in my room. The only helpful staff member, Ana, helped me move to another room. Room is on the bottom floor, big but without any of the charm, sewer smell, small windows, and you can hear the floor above flushing. I stayed behind while clients went on a guided tour. Another room lacked electricity, another had trouble turning on the top shower head... There is no coffee or water or any mention of helping. Rude staff and very unpleasant stay. Overall, the building needs attention and the service is 1-star, except for Ana who did her best and smiled when approached even if she could not help. My advice is to view this hotel as a hostal if you decide to book it. Do not expect the advertised 4-star rating!

Decent position on the main road into town but our bedroom was on the front and we found it noisy despite the building being set back. Room quite large but averagely furnished and failed to catch the feeling of staying in an historic building. The same could be said of the whole place, with the exception of a nicely-restored internal courtyard. Service in the outside patio bar slow - staff were more interested in setting up for an event later than serving the guests already there. Basically did the job but it could have been so much better.

Two night stay in this hotel with all modern comforts set in the restored part of an historic old building. The restoration has been done sympathetically without loss of atmosphere. Very comfortable room. Friendly staff. Short walk to old centre and less than 10 minutes to beach.
