SERCOTEL LAS CASAS DE LOS MERCADERES, Seville

The hotel is on Calle Álvarez Quintero, a pedestrian street in the historic trading quarter. The Cathedral, Alcázar, and Plaza del Salvador are all within a 5-10 minute walk. Santa Justa train station is 5 km away (10 minutes by taxi or 25 minutes on foot). San Pablo Airport is 13 km from the hotel; a taxi takes about 20-30 minutes, while the EA bus takes approximately one hour (last departure at 01:00). On-site parking is limited and cannot be reserved; a public garage is nearby as a backup. The surrounding area, particularly Calle Sierpes and Santa Cruz, is full of restaurants, bars, and shops.

Room categories: Classic Single, Classic Double (18m2), Classic Twin (double or twin beds), Superior Double (20m2 with balcony), and Superior Twin (with balcony). Many Classic rooms face interior light wells or have no opening windows, resulting in limited natural light and ventilation. Some ground-floor rooms near the breakfast area can be noisy. Superior rooms on higher floors provide more light and street views. Soundproofing between rooms is minimal, so noise from neighbours and plumbing may be noticeable. Renovation work has been ongoing, with occasional daytime construction noise. The hotel has two lifts and offers ground-floor rooms (no adapted wheelchair rooms). Extra beds can be added to Superior Doubles at €35/night for children over 12.

Breakfast (€15 per person) includes bread, pastries, cold cuts, cheese, yogurt, fruit, eggs, and gluten-free options on request. The courtyard setting is a highlight, though service can be slow during peak times. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner from 12:00 to midnight, with traditional Spanish dishes. A cafeteria and room service are also available. For those who prefer to eat out, the surrounding streets are filled with tapas bars and restaurants within a short walk.

Walking tours are complimentary and a practical way to explore Seville's landmarks. Bicycle rental is offered for an additional charge. The hotel also has a small reading room for those seeking a calm retreat. There is no swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre.

Additional services include laundry and dry cleaning (chargeable), meeting and banquet facilities (chargeable), and a paid shuttle service (airport transfers not available). Safety features include safety deposit boxes, CCTV, and key card access. Pets are allowed and provided with bowls and baskets. On-site parking costs €25/day, first-come, first-served.
