Alcoba del Rey de Sevilla Boutique Hotel

small, quaint hotel near the north end of the old city.... A good 20 to 30 minute walk to El Centro where the Alcazar and magnificient Seville Cathedral are located. The Hotel is a funky blend of Islamic and mid 19th century Spanish architecture. The room features really cool retro porcelin fixtures and circa 1915 wall and light switches. One thing that became apparent quite early was that there is virtually no plastic used inthe room. we are talking solid iron, colorful tiles and glass everywhere. Nothing made of disposible plastic by European standards this would be considered a giant room. unfortunately, the major drawback is the completely ineffective configuration of the shower and porcelain tub. It could be an easy one day plumbing and masonry job to correct this but when you take a shower, water sprays everywhere. But hey this is an early turn of the century style hotel have a cool district of Seville. I am not mistaken, showers didn't exist when this urban hacienda was built ... another slightly negative aspect of our stay was that the breakfast was quite disappointing. Very few selections.

Nice boutique hotel. Comfortable bed but small working desk.

A very cool place, interesting decor and a nice breakfast buffet. Staff very friendly and helpful

Not as boutique as advertised Bathroom looked nice but was not well equiped, very small wadrobe

Stayed here for our 5 days in Seville and had a very nice stay. Very friendly staff ready to do anything to help. Hotel has a certain style all of its own, charming seating areas and bar. room was basic but clean and tidy, looked after every day. Very nice breakfast, laid out fresh every day, gorgeous orange juice, fruit, cereal, breads, meats and croissants.

Good experience. Good experience. Good experience. Good experience.

Nice place, good location can be accessed with different local buses. Room is very comfort.

We booked 2 double rooms here for a joint Birthday get together with friends. We were welcomed from the moment we set foot into this amazing 'boutique and unique' hotel The building has some stunning features. The rooms were styled and themed individually, with Moorish decor/colour palette/furniture and architectural features in the rooms. The overall look was achieved successfully and with a range of mood/shaded lighting, rainwater shower, plus a four poster bed with a draped muslin canopy made this a real special place to spend our 3 night stay. The staff were very informative and friendly, and had a good grasp of English to answer any kind of query that we had. The breakfast buffet was no problem to us at all with a great selection of local and traditional items, plus some extras each day, and for coffees - just ask! there was a rooftop terrace/lounge area with a Jacuzzi as well, where you could relax and soak up the sun.

The staff were lovely, really friendly. The room was ok, the bed was massive and really really comfortable. There was a choice of soft and hard pillows which for me is very important. The Moroccan style of the room was lovely down to the last detail although I feel like it could do with a little upgrade. The rain shower was amazing really powerful and very big. It was at one end of the room opposite the bed and had a sink either side which I thought was great. Sadly there was no separate toilet only an ornate screen to block it off from the rest of the room. I’ve been with my partner a long time so that was fine but if you were a new couple it would be awful!! There was lots of lighting in the room but very muted and because there’s no separate bathroom I couldn’t see very well to put make up on. This also gave the room an overall dingy feel to it. The hotel is advertised as having an upstairs terrace with a bar which was a selling point for me but unfortunately the bar doesn’t open until the summer season. The weather was warm when we were there and it would have been lovely to have a drink upstairs. The room was right on the main foyer which I didn’t love also it was right on street level on very noisy. Breakfast was average. I dont like to give bad reviews especially since everyone was so lovely but I was a little disappointed in the room.

Hotel is a little away from the centre, but buses are extremely frequent and cheap. A good base to explore from .
