Hotel berhampiran FUN CLUB, Sevilla

Great hotel - perfect for a solo stay! I was in the Premium Standard, which included two little tub chairs, a king bed (two singles pushed together but they didn't move!) and a huge bathroom with a great shower, bidet and two sinks. The location is great, 10 mins away from the Giralda and central city, and opposite you have a great department store with a supermarket underneath as well as Aldi on the other side - no more than 30 seconds, if that! I opted not to include breakfast, and there are no shortage of options in the locality. There are also a ton of fast food eateries - McDonalds, Burger King and Taco Bell are around the corner if you need an emergency feed. The room was spacious, and came with a kettle - but no coffee sachets, only tea. The bed wasn't as comfy as other hotels, however it was by no means uncomfortable. The pillows were soft, and the room in general was lovely and well decorated. The wardrobe had a lot of hangers - a plus - but there was no iron. The window opened (a big deal for me!) and I was overlooking a side street. I could see the top of the bell tower from my room, so that was nice! The cleaning staff were really friendly, and did a great job day after day - lovely team all round. There is no complimentary water, you have to pay for the ones in the mini fridge which, given it was late spring/early summer and was very hot, I thought was an oversight. One of the reasons this is getting 4/5 rather than 5/5 is that the room is not sound proof - I could hear everything going on in the other room adjacent as well as all the traffic from the corridor. Which also means they could probably hear what I was doing in mine too - worth bearing in mind if you play music or have the TV on loud! If you're looking for total quiet, this might not be the right place as evenings start late in Seville and go on until at least 11pm, so people come back to the hotel around midnight. Overall, I would come back - I loved it! Location is 5*, and if you're travelling alone as a woman, this hotel is safe and in a busy area on a main(ish) street. I felt absolutely safe the whole time in the city and around the hotel. Definitely worth the cost!

By far some of the most efficient and courteous staff, my family and I came across. They literally moved mountains in order to ensure we had a great stay! Highly recommended and a huge shout out to Paula and Carla for being extremely competent. A special mention of Vicky’s most delicious cocktails. Not to forget the great ambiance and well maintained rooms.

Stayed at the Casual de la letras in late October,chose the hotel as it was 2 minutes walk from where our daughter lives and looked ideal and in a very good location.The hotel is very clean and rooms are cleaned everyday and our weeks stay was very pleasant,don’t know why we didn’t find this hotel before but when visiting Seville again which is quite often it will be at this hotel.

Deuxième séjours à là juderia tout s’est très bien passé comme d’habitude, personnels au top, souriants, accueillants. Les chambres sont superbes, l’hôtel bcp de Charmes, décors magnifiques.

Very good location. Close to the major sites. Difficult to find since it is in a set of alleyways. You cannot drive a car here, so if you have a vehicle, research parking first. The nearest underground lot at Jardine Murillo was full, so we found the San Bernardo Parking Lot, but it was a half-mile walk dragging luggage over cobblestones. This was not a deal-breaker; I mention it to be aware. The hotel was fine, the staff were rather cool and not too very friendly, but they were helpful enough. The room was fine and our room faced the alley with the outdoor restaurant, so we heard the noise until they closed, which was early enough. The rooftop terrace has a spectacular view of the cathedral and the Giralda tower, but the bar is not open. There is also no dinner at the hotel, but there are so many places nearby. The best thing is the location. It's pretty interesting staying in these medieval allies. The Real Alcazar palace is a must-see and you can spend all day there and still not see it all. The gardens are wonderful. The cathedral is huge and different from any that I have seen prior. And of course, you must walk up the 37 ramps of the Giralda tower. Take a stroll down to the river. Even the bull ring is nearby.

The good news:- it is absolutely ideally located for everything in the old town. There is a roof terrace with plunge pool at the hotel that can be used which they don't tell you about! The free walking tour is worth doing especially on a first trip to Seville to help get your bearings. Now for the bad: Having booked a ground floor twin room 5 months in advance, we were given a double on the first floor. After complaining and insisting on seeing the manager he eventually got us an incredibly uncomfortable camp bed for our first night. They did give us the room we had booked for the remaining 2 nights - but with stained linen on one of the beds. The breakfast is not a buffet as stated - it is very much portion controlled on a tray. Only one coffee capsule per person allowed (more available at additional cost). It is very noisy with banging doors (2 heavy front doors and each individual suite) going most of the night as well as a noisy pedestrian street with no double glazing. The nearest taxis can get to the hotel/suites is less than a 5 min walk. Not all suites have a kettle -so if you need one, check it is there. Apart from stained linen the rest was clean enough but housekeeping and some of the receptionists (not Alejandro) need re-training.

My husband and I spent 5 nights in Hotel Monte Carmelo and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel. The front desk staff was extremely helpful with recommending restaurants, directions to sites, and arranging a tour for us to Cordoba. Also, the members of the wait staff in the breakfast area were friendly and very attentive to the presentation of the breakfast items. The hotel is around the corner from a lovely pedestrian mall and is a short and pleasant walk to the bridge that is crossed to arrive at the main area of downtown Seville. The room was a good size and nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Seville!

Very convenient if you take a plane in the morning, as it is about 10 minutes (9 km away) from the airport. There are small shops and coffee places beside the hotel. It is very clean, quiet and staff is helpful. It is modern and the size of rooms is good.

As novice drivers in Spain, we hired a car in the Algarve and wanted to find accommodation near enough to Sevilla to avoid hairy driving situations, but that would allow us to take a reasonably priced cab or Uber into the city. This location was perfect and had underground parking for the rental car. The hotel was economical and clean. The staff spoke English and was helpful. We stayed in a junior suite with a kitchen and living room and we really enjoyed having the extra space for a reasonable price. The hotel is also taking extra COVID measures that made us feel safe. Would return here again in a heartbeat :)

Spent 3 nights here in late March for a trip to Seville. Seville is a really lovely place to visit, great historic sites and lovely scenery. I chose this hotel due to the price and the reviews were very positive online. There was also a shuttle into town, which I found appealing. When we arrived we found out that the shuttle bus was not in use and so buses were our only option. Thankfully the bus 37 was our way straight into the centre and was very regular and only €1.40 each way. If this had not been the case, I wouldn't recommend the hotel as its too far to walk and who wants to spend money on a taxi everyday. At the hotel and in Seville in general, I was so surprised to find that English language is not widely spoken or understood. I found myself struggling to ask for basic things. I e never had this issue elsewhere in Spain or the canary Islands, so I recommend you learn some basics before arriving. The room was sufficient and had a window facing the pool area. It was closed but way too cold anyways to use. The smart TV allowed us to watch YouTube because the TV channels weren't great. You can also watch netflix if you don't mind using your own account. The breakfast was initially in the restaurant on the ground floor and I think that was a one off as it was quiet, but thankfully the main area is upstairs and its a basic buffet set up with fried egg, streaky bacon, ham and cheese etc. The coffee from the espresso machine was fab, don't use the one where you press the button use the one with the pods. It wasn't that busy when we went so not overly loud but you can definitely hear through the walls if people are around. There's a mini fridge with nothing in it, but great to keep drinks you buy elsewhere. Lidl and a supermarket are close by. We didn't eat in for dinner as it closes at 4pm and opens at 8pm. Way too late. Be aware of siestas, Sundays everything more or less closed. We tended to stay in town all day and eat before heading back. I did see some places to eat nearby so there are some options but they open at 7pm. One thing about the bus. When you are coming back to hotel, press the bell just as you are coming up to the roundabout. There is no bus stop but the bus will stop. We ended up walking a bit on the first day coz we couldn't see a bus stop. From the airport you can get a bus to town and then jump on the 37 to the hotel. Just make sure you cross the road to get the 37. Hope this helps anyone travelling to the hotel.
