Alohamundi Quevedo

Hotel Description

You know what really got me about Alohamundi Quevedo? It’s tucked right on Calle Quevedo in the heart of Seville’s old town, and honestly – I wasn’t expecting much from the narrow street entrance. But step inside and it’s like someone took a traditional Andalusian house and gave it this subtle, almost tropical twist that somehow works perfectly. The lobby has these gorgeous tiles that catch the afternoon light streaming through the interior courtyard, and there’s this faint scent of orange blossoms that drifts in from somewhere (probably the nearby Alcázar gardens, if I had to guess).

The location is actually incredible once you realize what you’re working with. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Cathedral – I timed it – and the Santa Cruz neighborhood is right there with all those winding medieval streets that tourists love getting lost in. But here’s the thing locals know: Calle Quevedo is just far enough from the main tourist drag that you’re not dealing with crowds of people taking photos outside your hotel at 7 AM. The street gets some foot traffic during the day, sure, but it quiets down beautifully in the evenings. Parking is… well, it’s old town Seville, so forget about driving here. But the tram stop at Plaza Nueva is maybe eight minutes on foot, and honestly, you’ll want to walk everywhere anyway.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve nailed that balance between authentic Sevillano charm and actual comfort. The rooms aren’t huge – this is a converted historic building, so manage your expectations – but they’re thoughtfully designed with these beautiful ceramic details and surprisingly good air conditioning (trust me, you’ll appreciate this in July). The staff actually knows the neighborhood, too. When I asked about flamenco shows, they didn’t just hand me a tourist brochure – they recommended this tiny tablao on Calle Betis that locals go to, and it was absolutely perfect. The 8.5 rating makes sense when you experience little touches like that. It’s not trying to be a luxury resort, but it’s genuinely well-run and the kind of place where someone clearly cares about the details. If you want to feel like you’re staying in real Seville rather than some generic hotel that could be anywhere, this is your spot.

Reviews

• John from Ireland – 1 March 2025 (8/10)

  Central location. Extremely clean. Comfortable bed. Quick response when access code didn't work properly.
  
  What could be improved: Insufficient blankets and pillows in the apartment (we could probably have asked for more, though).

• Nicola from United Kingdom – 26 January 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment was very well equipped for a 2 week stay, even had tablets for dishwasher and washing machine, and a large fridge/freezer. Very spacious and modern. It looks out onto a shared secure courtyard, which is not only attractive but also means it is quiet and felt safe, which was important to me as a solo traveller. 15 – 20 minutes walk to the river / cathedral, 5 to supermarkets / restaurants and a good flamenco show. Extra touches such as scented diffusers made it feel very welcoming.
  
  What could be improved: I was given a fresh supply of towels at the end of the first week; it would have been nice to have had fresh bedlinen as well.
  
  The first week (early January), the weather was exceptionally cold and the apartment wasn't particularly warm, especially at night, but once the weather warmed up a bit, it was lovely.

• Bowker from United Kingdom – 14 January 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent location. Very spacious. En suite bathroom had a very large shower. Kitchen well equipped for city break. Hosts very quick to respond to questions.
  Very central location but very quiet due to low traffic noise in the historical streets (not meant for cars to race along). Shops, restaurants and bars all nearby, as well as being only a few minutes walk from the Setas and within easy walking distance of Catedral, Alcazar, Plaza del Espana.

• Magdalena from Poland – 5 December 2024 (9/10)

  Very clean, quiet and spacious. Good location, helpful staff. I highly recommend.
  
  What could be improved: A bit dark but it's not a big issue.

• Sylvia from Netherlands – 18 April 2024 (9/10)

  The appartement is beautiful at a perfect location. The grocery shop is close by and wonderful bars and restaurant are on walking distance. The area is also really quiet so we enjoyed our stay a lot. I highly recommend this appartement!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

  What could be improved: Spanish television LOL

• Mike from United Kingdom – 13 February 2024 (8/10)

  The flat is perfectly located for tourist attractions, restaurants and bars
  
  What could be improved: Really minor points but the sofa is very unstudy and difficult to sit on being a sofa bed . Walls are a little sparse, a few pictures would make a real difference

• Graeme from United Kingdom – 6 February 2024 (8/10)

  Excellent location. Easy walking distance to the main attractions, yet in a very quiet location
  
  What could be improved: If you want to self cater the kitchen equipment is rather sparse. There is enough – just.

• Ann from Ireland – 10 December 2023 (9/10)

  Very clean , spacious and well furnished. Bed very comfortable. Bathroom malodorous at times. Bars and restaurants nearby
  
  What could be improved: A bit far from some sights

• Darren from Australia – 22 November 2023 (9/10)

  Nice and big. Host went out of their way when we had difficulty accessing the place- difficulty our fault not theirs. Bed big and comfortable
  
  What could be improved: Message to host only- needs more pillows as people with respiratory issues cannot sleep laying flat.
