Alohamundi Céspedes

Hotel Description

You know those hotels that feel like someone’s incredibly stylish friend just happened to have a place in the heart of Seville’s old quarter? That’s exactly what Alohamundi Céspedes is – and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone. But this little four-star gem sits right on Calle Céspedes, which means you’re literally steps from the Cathedral and Alcázar without being stuck in the absolute tourist chaos of Avenida de la Constitución. The building itself has that perfect Sevillian thing going on where it looks completely unassuming from the street, then you walk through the door and there’s this gorgeous interior courtyard that makes you do a double-take. I mean, the whole neighborhood is basically a maze of narrow cobblestone streets that Google Maps has given up on, but that’s half the charm – you’ll stumble across tiny tapas bars that have been family-run for decades and somehow this hotel manages to feel like it belongs among them rather than sticking out like some modern intrusion.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to nail that balance between historic character and actually functional amenities. The rooms aren’t huge – this is a medieval quarter after all, so don’t expect American hotel sprawl – but they’re thoughtfully designed with these lovely tile details and wrought iron touches that feel authentic rather than theme-park Spanish. The air conditioning actually works (crucial for Seville summers, trust me), and the Wi-Fi is solid enough that I could video call home without that embarrassing pixelated freeze-frame thing happening. Parking is… well, it’s the old town, so forget about driving here. But the nearest parking garage is only about a five-minute walk, and honestly you won’t want a car anyway since everything worth seeing is walkable. The staff genuinely knows the neighborhood – not just the obvious tourist spots but where to get the best montaditos at 2 PM or which flamenco bars still feel like locals’ hangouts rather than dinner theater.

Here’s the thing that really sets this place apart though: it’s quiet. Somehow, despite being surrounded by restaurants and the general lovely chaos of Seville nightlife, the rooms are surprisingly peaceful. I think it’s the way the building is set back from the main pedestrian flow, plus those thick old walls actually do their job. You’ll hear the occasional clip-clop of horse carriages in the early evening and maybe some distant guitar from Plaza de Doña Elvira, but it adds to the atmosphere rather than keeping you awake. The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in the city, but it absolutely delivers on being exactly what you’d want for exploring Seville’s historic center. Plus, and this might sound silly, but there’s something really satisfying about telling people you’re staying on Calle Céspedes. It just sounds like you know what you’re doing.

• Ali from United States – 21 April 2025 (1/10)

  The location was good.
  
  What could be improved: The plumbing in one of the bathroom was messed up. When we flushed the toilet, all the sewerage came up in the shower making the shower stink and the bad odor was also flowing to the master bedroom. As a result we could not use the bathroom or the bedroom. The host took 12 hours to acknowledge and to respond and send someone over but this should've been dealt with as an emergency not like a regular maintenance call. I asked for refund back and the host agreed to a very small amount to refund for the inconvenience (1/8 of the amount of total stay).
  
  This type of plumbing issue doesn't just happen. This must've been an issue prior to us checking in and the host must've ignored it, causing us to have a bad experience. I would not recommend staying at a place where host is not upkeeing with the maintenance.

  J'ai aimé l'emplacement central, très proche des centres d'intérêt. L'appartement est impeccable, très propre et très bien agencé. Les 2 chambres sont séparées par la cuisine avec chacune une salle de bain douche avec fenêtre, pas de problème d'insonorité. Les matelas, les oreillers et le linge sont neufs. L'appartement se situe dans un ensemble d'immeubles très agréable avec un jardin privé dans une petite rue tranquille sans voitures.
  Excellente communication avec l'agence.

• Gergely from Hungary – 23 April 2025 (10/10)

  Közel a központ, minden új volt

• Stefania from Italy – 6 March 2025 (10/10)

  Ottima la posizione in centro, vicinissima alla cattedrale e Alcázar.
  L’appartamento ha due camere da letto matrimoniali con i bagni in camera ed è un’ottima soluzione per chi viaggia con amici.
  
  What could be improved: Pochi asciugamani a disposizione e poche pastiglie per lavatrice, abbiamo dovuto comprare anche zucchero e caffè.
