Alohamundi Chicarreros Catedral

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place with such a mouthful of a name, but Alohamundi Chicarreros Catedral turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises that makes you feel like you actually know Seville. The location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of things – you’re literally on Calle Chicarreros in the old town, which means you can stumble out the front door and be wandering those narrow cobblestone streets within seconds. I mean, the cathedral is right there (hence the name, I guess), and you know what? You can actually hear the bells in the morning, which sounds touristy but is oddly comforting when you’re sipping coffee on a tiny balcony.

What really got me was how the staff seemed to genuinely care about the neighborhood – they’d casually mention that the best tapas place is actually two streets over, not the obvious tourist trap on the corner, or they’d warn you that the street gets a bit lively on weekend nights (fair warning, honestly). The rooms have this sort of boutique feel without trying too hard – clean lines, decent air conditioning that actually works (crucial in Seville summers), and bathrooms that don’t make you feel like you’re in a cramped airplane lavatory. The 4-star rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but everything works and feels thoughtfully put together. Parking is… well, it’s the old town, so forget about driving here. But the thing is, you really don’t need a car when you’re this central.

The building itself has character – you can tell it’s been adapted from something older, with those thick walls that keep things surprisingly quiet despite being surrounded by restaurants and the occasional late-night reveler. I actually slept better here than at some places outside the city center, which was unexpected. Check-in was smooth, no drama, and they seem to understand that travelers want practical information, not just a glossy brochure. The 8.4 rating makes sense when you add it all up – it’s not perfect, but it gets the important stuff right and gives you that feeling of staying somewhere that locals might actually recommend to their friends visiting from out of town. If you’re the type who wants to wake up and immediately start exploring rather than taking a metro or taxi into the real Seville, this place delivers on that promise without making you feel like you’re paying for location alone.

  Proximidad al centro historico

• Katarzyna from Poland – 10 April 2025 (8/10)

  Świetna lokalizacja w centrum starego miasta . Blisko do wszystkich atrakcji. Mieszkanie czyste, dobrze urządzone i zlokalizowane tak, że nie słychać odgłosów z ulicy. Słabo wyposażona kuchnia. Za mało sprzętów żeby przygotować coś do jedzenia. Brak otwieracza do butelek, korkociągu do wina, noży do krojenia, deski do krojenia. Bardzo głośna lodówka, która przeszkadza w nocy. Włącza się co 10 minut i bardzo głośno pracuje.

  Très bonne literie, climatisation, calme, super emplacement qui permet d’être à proximité des monuments les plus visités, bonne prise en charge à votre arrivée par Alohamundi Chicarreros Cathédral (échange par émail en anglais), suivi de votre séjour très sérieux. Nous recommandons cet appartement.
