Al Andalus Hotel

Comment

Hotel is a bit out of town and on occassions we did feel a bit overwhelmed by the conferences. Rooms were excellent as was the buffet breakfast which had a huge selection. Even managed to go swimming in the outside pool at the end of October.

Top Tip

We got taxis into and out of town (there were 4 of us) which were quick and plentiful.

I have stayed here 3 times before and was disapointed in the friendliness of the reception staff.

An excellent hotel, great staff, lovely pool, an easy bus ride into Seville

This hotel is perfect for those not wanting to be directly in the city centre but close enough to go into every day. Hotel is very clean as is the pool area. Breakfast buffet is very nice offering hot and cold options. The only area for improvement is is the pool bar, the food could be better. It is also quite expensive.

Bus no 34 takes you directly into the centre it takes approx 15 mins. Taxi from the airport is 22 Euros. We opted to sunbath during the day and venture out in the evenings at 6ish when the temperature is a bit cooler. We did the boat trip along the River €15 and the city bus tour €15 this last 2 days and you can hop on and off of the bus.

Contrary to what others say that it is a bit far out - I found it perfectly situated, not too close and not too far out. It is very close to Real Betis Footbal Ground and therefore if taking the bus then on the way back you will remember where to get off. Bus journey is about 10 mins and was only 1 euro 20 single and are about every 10-15 mins, in the evening you can splash out on a taxi for no more than 8 euro. Whilst there are'nt too many sun loungers there is plenty of grass to put your beach towel down, which the hotel provides and are kept by the lifeguard/pool bar. If you are visiting Seville in the summer months then I personally think a hotel with a pool is a must as the hottest part of the day (15:30-18:30) is a great time for a swim and a chill having been into this stunning city sightseeing before you either get ready to dine at the hotel or make your way back into the city for some tapas. Will definitely be going back - to the hotel but especially the city.

Excellent price, nice hotel, good facilities, nice breakfast. Bit out of the way but short bus ride makes this not a major problem.

Top Tip

Get a buss pass from one of the booths in the town, 10 trips os just 6 euros.

Once you have sorted-out the excellent local bus service access to the city centre is straightforward.

Must spend time to see the cathedral and Plaza d'Espana

We had three evening meals in the hotel. The buffet was good @ 19 Euros. One meal in the Italian restaurant was bland and tasteless. The service was also diffident. The Coffee Shop food was also expensive and poor quality. Breakfast buffet excellent. Lovely gardens and swimming pool. Bedroom good size, TV had 3 English language stations, mostly news. Bus 34 into the centre of Seville costs 1.1 Euros (Taxi= 8 Euros). Too far out to walk, about 3 Km.

A "book" of bus tickets costs 5 Euros for 10 tickets. Once in Seville most sights are easy walking distance. Managed to see most of Seville in two days, with time allowed for the swimming pool! Good restaurants in Tirana, across the river. Cheaper than in city centre. Poor £/Euro does not help. Good time to visit, not too hot and flowers are out.

Comment

Seville is great and so hot even for April so although the hotel is not central having the fantastic swimming pool to relax around was brilliant and only costs 6 Euros for a taxi into Seville centre or a bus for 1 euro

Santa Cruz area and EL Arenal are great and the bars around the Cathedral all very friendly and not intimidating. For a relaxed and cheaper start to the night try the tapas bars near the hotel where beers and tapas are cheaper and not as busy at the centre
