Discover the 151 rooms and suites at the newly renovated Hotel Alfonso XIII, Seville, totally equipped and furnished with luxury and comfort. The hotel guestrooms have been decorated with three different elegant styles: Andaluz, Moorish and Castilian rooms.
The hotel surpassed my previous experience. The gardens and pool are bijou, offering a relaxing oasis in the centre of the city. The gym is likewise tidy, but well-equipped. The main restaurant, San Fernando, is easy to, but should not be, overlooked (now living somewhat in the shadow of the critically acclaimed Ena, the hotel’s venue for Carles Abellan tapas creativity).
Restaurante San Fernando has an air of formality, but the staff are truly warm and generous (the sommelier remembered my favourite bottles from 5 years’ previously), and the menu is so extensive as to suit the palate and appetite of anyone at any time of day, from a fragrant salad or gazpacho, bursting with flavour, to Hake Romana, tender lamb or a delicious, but wonderfully simple, fillet steak, washed down with a delectable Rioja Reserva. All of these delights are served either within, or overlooking, the hotel’s central courtyard, at its heart a murmuring ivory fountain framed by Moorish arches, all overseen by Seville’s inevitable clear blue sky. There were several other restaurants we particularly enjoyed during our stay: Restaurante Oriza.
Location is perfect for walking everywhere in Seville. Cafes, landmarks, etc are super close. The hotel itself is pure Spanish old world charm…the patio for a drink or restaurant for breakfast (buffet is huge and delicious) and dinner was lovely as well.
The property is so beautiful and more than lived up to its reputation. Several friends have commented to us that the Hotel Alfonso XIII is among their favorite places to stay anywhere, and we agree. All aspects of the hotel operate at the highest standards and the staff is both professional and very friendly at the same time.
Breakfast was beautiful with the largest buffet we’ve ever seen and fresh local food.
The location of this hotel is unbeatable: close to the Seville Cathedral, Barrio Santa Cruz, Plaza de Espana and most of the famous parks of Seville. The suite room we stayed in was spacious and well decorated and every morning we were able to witness a beautiful Spanish sunrise through the large windows. What an excellent hotel.
The breakfast buffet sitting in the outdoor courtyard every morning was phenomenal and quite an experience. The housekeeping and hotel staff were extremely kind and courteous. In particular the housekeepers would always offer me and my wife additional water bottles in the afternoon when the Spain heat was most intense which we were definitely thankful for.

The room itself again is world charm , clean and comfortable and the air conditioning unit is amazing which we appreciated after a day out in 40 degree heat. We also had a complimentary bottle of wine on arrival . From a location perspective the neighborhood is great and the hotel is in a perfect position. Some fantastic places to eat and grab a drink at very reasonable prices being that you are not in the Centre.
Would recommend to eat and bars to explore around Alfalfa which is a square 5 mins walk away and then it’s another 5 min walk down to the main square for the Cathedral and the Real Alcázar etc… People who love history , character and a unique stay will love this place.

Comfortable beds. Immaculately clean. Snowy white bedding. Bronzed tapped double sinks in bathrooms, good shower, deep bath, bidet etc. Outside each room overlooking inner balconies are comfortable tapestry covered/wicker chairs and table, perfect for reading in the cool of the evening and aperitifs. All courtyards have a slightly different ‘look’. Roof terrace has commanding view of city skyline. Staff delightful, warm, welcoming and well informed. A splendid, relaxing and typically ‘Old Sevilla’ experience sited down a quiet, cobbled side street. A real find. Almost felt reluctant to review it as wanted to keep it a secret!!

It is about a fifteen minute walk from the historic center of Seville (Alcazar, Cathedral,etc.), and there is a bus that runs on a circular route from the Guadalquivir to that area, about ten minutes away from the hotel for 1.40 Euros.
This little hotel has a very singular charm. You will not mistake it for a Holiday Inn or a Hilton. This cozy, definitely Andalusian hotel will enchant you with color, decor, friendly service. Our room was extremely tidy and clean with just enough room for two.
The staff make sure you are happy and are always there to answer questions and to be helpful. The breakfast is very good! The square out front can be crowded if groups are following ballgames on the TV but once that is over, the place is quiet and serene. There are many restaurants and bars right outside the hotel.

This boutique hotel located in the Hercules area turned out to be a wonderful spot. The neighborhood is about a 25 minute walk to the Cathedral and very lively.

The hotel itself is really nice with flowers everywhere, a nice rooftop restaurant and comfortable rooms.
Rooms are arranged around pleasant courtyards and feels very much more homely than your box standard chains in the city stayed at previously.

Location very good set in large avenue area surrounded by loads of cafes and restaurants, small shops and small supermarket.
Lovely hotel, well located for bars cafes and sightseeing. lovely clean airy rooms, good wifi, beautiful inner courtyards with rooms set off each floor. nice little rooftop bar, only fault for us was no kettles in the rooms so we brought one as we like a cuppa in the morning.

The location of this delightful hotel in the traffic-free streets of the old town is excellent, being about 5-10 minutes’ stroll in any direction from the main sights and about 15 mins to Triana on other side of river. It is literally 2 mins from San Salvador where you could by a combined ticket to include the cathedral too and thus avoid long queues to enter the cathedral. Plenty of bars and restaurants around to choose from. The breakfasts were amazing with a good choice from the usual continental fare of rolls, bread, meats/cheese and very large selection of fresh fruit.
The room was lovely and clean and the reception staff friendly and helpful.
I highly recommend paying extra for a balcony room on a higher floor. The standard rooms located in the interior are very claustrophobic and sad looking. In the balcony room, the street noise was noticeable but it did not bother us (there was a lot of Christmas street festivities when we were there). The room was clean and sparsely decorated. The balcony room was roomy and had a sofa bed, ample closet space, a fridge and a safe. The A/C was functional. Bathroom amenities were sufficient. However, they do not provide face (small) towels and facial tissues.
PROS:
– centrally located hotel – 5 mins walk to the cathedral, Alcazar, Santa Cruz. 2 mins walk to supermarket MAS which sold 1.5 litre bottled water for 49c rather than 2€ for 500 ml bottle from hotel
– 10 min walk to El Cortes Ingles and other shops
– surrounded by banks, restaurants, bars, cafes, shops
– spacious room with king sized bed, lounge and strong shower pressure
– efficient house cleaning of room with fresh towels every day
– helpful and friendly reception staff- could not do enough for me
– quite a few of the reception staff speak English which is helpful when you need directions
– 10 min walk to the Speed Queen laundromat- 5€ for -12 kgs load and 1€ per 10 mins in dryer
– Semana santa procession underneath my balcony last night

Great location in the old town. Everything you’ll want to see is walking distance if you are reasonably mobile. Pluses: big room, big comfy bed, courtesy fruit tray (not sure if this was normal), courtesy bottled water at the pool. Possible refinements: soap (was out of stock) and conditioner; provide 2 each of full caffeine coffee and breakfast tea; a couple more shelves or drawers and a full length mirror would be easily added in the spacious room.
There’s a great rooftop bar location, better than many others we tried, but it was not open much of the time.
Eurostars Sevilla Boutique is the perfect location to explore the Old Town and the major sights. There are some real Pros and a few Cons.
The Pros: In the heart of the old town back streets so very authentic. A cool feel (both decor and temperature) from the moment you enter the hotel. Once in the atrium area there is a lift to all floors. Our room had a view over the pool area with twin patio doors.
Room came equipped with a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Clever use of space for the wardrobe which contained a safe and sufficient hangers. The king size bed in our room was massive and very comfortable with a choice of pillows. There is a superb roof terrace with numerous comfortable chairs and couches with amazing views over the city There is a small pool Breakfast was quite good with a good choice of food both Spanish and International
Fantastic location in Barrio Altro and close to Cathedral. Room was exceptionally comfortable (junior suite overlooking pool) and bed the most comfortable I have ever slept on!
The pool area was small (not surprising for a city centre hotel) however the hotel benefits from a spacious split level terrace on the top floor, with views of the Cathedral. On our first night we popped up there for a couple of evening drinks. During the day time there was no bar service on the terrace, but it did provide some extra space to sit in the sun for an hour or so.
Breakfast was included – mainly buffet style with egg dishes served to order. All nicely done with good service.
Seville had plenty to see – including the Alcazar, Plaza de Espana and a show at the Museo del baile Flamenco, and the Fontecruz proved to be an excellent base.
