Hotel In Seville

[SteveD]

Does anybody have personal experience of a reasonably priced hotel in Seville which they can recommend?

Please also see my question about car hire in Spain.

Think it depends very much on where you stay. We are going in May and want to be in the centre. We're looking at the Petit Palace Canalejas -£334 for 4 nights - we stayed in the Petit Palace in Madrid and found it very good. Hotels further out would be cheaper but we want to be in walking distance of everything

Thanks MT. I've just looked on the hotel website and it comes out at about £376 for 3 nights at the end of March (and there doesn't seem to be a double room with a proper double bed). How did you book it?

I wish I could remember the name of the place we stayed, just outside the town. The hotel ran a complimentary shuttle bus service into the centre.

We booked hotel and flight - a cheap 7-day package - through Easy Jet. The only snag was we had to fly from Gatwick.

Haven't booked yet but found then on bookings.com . There is also a Eurostars Regina hotel for about the same price and we've staŷed in these in several cities they have huge double beds about 7 feet across!

Thanks very much for your replies. We have made a choice and the hotel is booked. I won't say which one now as it is paid for and non-refundable - I don't want to hear a great sucking of air through teeth and groans of "Ooh! I wouldn't have chosen that one, mate!"
I'll report back on our return at the beginning of April.

As promised, here are details of the hotel we chose.
We stayed at the Hotel Monte Triana in the Triana area of Seville and were very pleased with our choice. The hotel was bright and clean and the staff were very helpful. The room was large and comfortable.

The Monte Triana is just over the river from the city centre and all its sights which are within walking distance. The bus station (where the airport bus stop is also within walking distance (if you have a suitcase with wheels).

The Triana market is a short walk away and it is worth making a reservation in the little Flamenco theatre there (the second smallest theatre in the world with only 28 seats).
