We were both very impressed with the Murillo Suite next to the Alcázar and delighted that we chose this location for our 8-night stay in Seville. Because of this duration we’d decided to find an apartment, rather than a hotel. I think we made the right decision! The only tricky part is arriving. Murillo seems the have quite a lot of hotels and apartments in Seville and to check in to the apartment meant arriving at a hotel (by taxi seemed the most convenient way), to have passports checked and then we were escorted to the apartment. After travelling, negotiating the cobbled streets with luggage wasn’t ideal, but it was worth it. We read a lot of concerns before booking about access to the apartment. It’s really nothing to worry about. We were issued with three key cards (just in case!). Access from the street into he apartment is by key-card into a small foyer from where the lift takes you to the apartment. Key cards are coded for each apartment and there is one apartment per floor, so it’s not possible to accidentally enter the wrong apartment. The apartment itself is fabulous, consisting of four areas: a generous sitting area, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a shower room. Overall much more spacious than I would have expected in a tourist hotel for around the same price. The sitting area proved useful for relaxing, the small kitchen well equipped with plates, utensils, etc., the bed was large and comfortable and the shower room featured a large wet-room-style shower (i.e. without a shower screen). The apartment is modern and equipped with ‘proper’ air-conditioning (i.e. not a retrofitted wall-mounted system, but with a controller and vents in the ceiling). Also it was possible to open one or more of the numerous windows, and all handles and openings work. Despite being so close to the Alcázar, with the double glazed windows firmly closed the noise levels were never a problem. We noticed that the apartment, from street access and throughout the apartment is designed to be accessible. A few words about the location. Well, it’s perfect. It really is right across the street from the Alcázar. In fact you can see the queue from the apartment and judge the right time to join it to minimise waiting time! The apartment, and the terrace on the fourth floor, both have amazing views of the Cathedral. It’s a short walk to the numerous tapas restaurants and bars, but not so close to be in earshot. You can hear the clip-clop of the horses used to pull the sight-seeing carriages, which starts about 08.30, and the regular chiming of the cathedral bell, but as I say, with the windows closed, neither was a problem. We became familiar with public transport during our stay, so decided to return to the airport by bus. There’s an airport bus (EA) that stops near the Torre del Oro and takes less than an hour. If you prefer to return by taxi, the hotel reception will organise that for you. All in all a highly satisfactory experience and I
