HOTEL ALCAZAR, Seville

Hotel Alcázar is located opposite the Santa Cruz district, providing direct access to the medieval Jewish quarter with its narrow streets and traditional cuisine. Key monuments like the Seville Cathedral, Plaza de España, the Giralda and the Royal Alcázar are within a 5-10 minute walk. Prado de San Sebastián station is 300 metres away, offering metro, tram and bus connections including the airport shuttle bus service. Santa Justa railway station is 1 km away, while the airport is a 20-minute drive. The hotel is on a main road meaning some rooms may experience traffic noise, but the position allows easy walking access to all city attractions. Car access is straightforward, but the paid parking garage has very tight spaces best suited for small vehicles.

All rooms have been renovated and feature parquet floors, a desk, air conditioning and heating, a flat-screen TV with international channels, and a private bathroom with shower, magnifying mirror, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Single rooms have a double bed. Comfort Double and Triple rooms offer flexible bedding options including twin or double beds and cot availability on request. Exterior rooms in the Superior category provide sound-proof windows and views of the Gardens of Murillo, the Royal Alcázar, the Cathedral and the Giralda. The Triple Superior Room includes a chaise longue and complimentary tea service. The Junior Suite accommodates up to 5 people with a separate lounge area and a double sofa bed. Rooms facing the road or the inner courtyard may have limited natural light and can be noisy, particularly those near the rooftop bar or the main boulevard. Light sleepers should request a quiet room away from the lift and higher floors.

A continental breakfast buffet is available each morning for an additional charge of €16, featuring fresh fruit, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurts, cereals and pastries. The breakfast room provides a good variety of cold options, though hot selections are limited. The rooftop bar on the 7th floor serves snacks, premium drinks and alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, ideal for sunset views. A coffee shop on site offers additional beverage options. Several restaurants and bars are within a 3-minute walk, including Vineria San Telmo, Carlos Baena and La Galantina. There is no restaurant at the hotel for lunch or dinner.

The outdoor swimming pool is located on the rooftop and offers panoramic views over Seville. It is a seasonal saltwater pool with a shallow end and a fence for safety. The pool area includes sun loungers and beach towels. The rooftop also features a bar serving drinks and snacks. The pool is compact and can feel crowded when full, but provides a refreshing break in hot weather. Free walking tours and bike tours (for an additional charge) are available from the hotel. The sun terrace offers a pleasant spot to relax after sightseeing, and the 360° views of the city, including the Cathedral and the Alcázar, are a highlight.
