Hotels Near Cartuja in Seville

Great location, lovely staff, the apartment was very quiet, clean, well-sized and furnished in a modern way. Very good beds and pillows too. It had all the details and amenities you might need for a short stay. We were lucky that our unit was ready ahead of time, so the kind staff allowed us quite an early check-in. The hotel is just down the street from Setas de Sevilla, across the street from the Museum of Fine Arts, 10 minutes walking from the central shopping/restaurant district and 15-20 minutes away from the Triana district. We loved our stay, compliments and big thanks to all the staff!

The main problem we had were the dirty sheets, there were stains and hair on the sheets and it was obvious that they had not changed and cleaned it from the previous guest. On our first night sleep, we had bed-bug bites all over our hands and feet. Found two bed-bugs and killed them so we had less bites on the nights after, but extremely uncomfortable sleep with the dirty old sheets. The room is very small, Bathroom has no ventilation - constantly smelled of sewerage and humidity in the entire hostel. Super thin walls between rooms, so we could hear all the sound from the TV next room. The common kitchen downstairs looked terrible, dirty fridge, microwave, boiler :( . Clearly the owner does not care about the ambience, smell and cleanliness of the hostel. There were no check-in instructions in the emails we received, only a phone number to call where nobody picked up. Arrived at the property, the door was closed with a small note and a different phone-number to call, the lady picked up but did not speak a word of English, asked a random guy on the street to help us check-in. They could at-least emailed us the instructions for picking up the keys from the box in front of the door. If that person hadn't helped us, we were completely helpless.

Very disappointed with this Hostel, I’ll start at the beginning. Firstly our room was really small, it was almost like it was once a store cupboard that someone got an idea to put 2 bunk beds in. It was so small the space between the 2 beds was barely big enough for a person to pass through. And apart from the drawer under the bed there was no storage whatsoever in the room, not even a place to put a glass of water during the night. Next problem was the beds, we had a genuine fear that the ladder from the top bunk would not support the weight of a person climbing it. And the bed itself was not very well constructed, I wouldn’t like to be on the bottom with a heavy built person sleeping on the top bunk. I did the touch the breakfast, there were very few options that weren’t appealing to me so I skipped that. I was looking forward to the swimming pool when I booked this but it was so dirty you couldn’t see to the bottom. Lastly the housekeeping was not good, the toilet in the common area had no seat on it, it was clean though unlike others in the building. What was very odd was you were asked to remove the bed sheets yourself, I imagine so they can reduce the working hours of housekeeping staff. If I was to say one good thing the hostel is in a very good location but I can’t recommend it

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!

Good clean comfortable hotel. We went during peak hot season, the air-conditioning in the room was perfect. Breakfast is simple and nice. May be it was not very busy at this time, but they allowed to stay in the room 2 hours beyond the scheduled check-out time. Overall very happy experience in the hotel for 3 nights. Only a very small observation is the location of the hotel is around 5 km away from the Seville main historic centre.

We had booked the Apartmentos as the location was excellent being close to everything in the centre of Seville that we wanted to visit, and our chosen apartment had a balcony so we could enjoy a bit of time outside. The staff were excellent; very helpful all round in fact and could not be faulted. We were arriving after the reception closed (7 p.m.) and were a little unsure how we would get access to the building and apartment. Thankfully just as we arrived some other guests were arriving too and let us into the building. Getting into the apartment was much easier as the instructions had been emailed to us beforehand. As others have said, it's not the easiest place to find and I am glad I had read other reviews about the entrance being down the side of the Casa Carmen restaurant. If you are heading there and are unsure, go to the end of the alleyway, turn right and walk right to the end of the building. The reception and entrance are the last 2 doors you see. If I am being honest the apartment we were in (2A) needed a bit of TLC. It didn't get in the way of our enjoyment, but a day or so's work/repairs would solve all the small items and make it so much nicer.

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!
