APARTAMENTO LEVIES

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Apartamento Levíes? The address itself – it’s literally on Calle Levíes in Seville’s old Jewish quarter, which honestly feels like stepping into a history book that someone forgot to close. I mean, this isn’t just “historic charm” marketing speak; you’re actually staying in the Santa Cruz neighborhood where narrow cobblestone streets wind around like they were designed by someone who’d had a few too many glasses of fino.

The apartment itself is really well done – I’d call it boutique-level quality without the boutique price tag, which is pretty rare in this part of town. What I loved is how they’ve managed to keep the old-world character (thick walls that actually keep things cool during those brutal Seville summers) while making everything feel fresh and functional. The 4-star rating feels about right, maybe even modest – it’s definitely not luxury, but it’s got this authentic Spanish vibe that beats staying in some generic hotel chain near the train station. And honestly, the 8.5 rating makes sense once you factor in the location advantage. You’re maybe a three-minute walk from the Cathedral and Giralda tower, which means you can actually beat the tour groups there in the morning if you’re an early riser.

Here’s the thing about staying in Santa Cruz though – and this is something you only figure out after spending time there – the streets can get pretty lively at night (not rowdy, just… alive), but the thick walls I mentioned earlier actually do their job. I was worried about noise when I first saw how central it was, but it wasn’t an issue. What’s really convenient is that you’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters, but just tucked away enough to feel like you’ve found something special. The nearest parking is a bit of a trek if you’re driving – I’d honestly recommend just flying into Seville and walking everywhere instead. Oh, and one practical note: the check-in was smooth, but like most apartment-style places, you’ll want to coordinate your arrival time ahead of time rather than just showing up. The whole area smells like orange blossoms in spring (the streets are lined with orange trees), and there’s this lovely light that filters through the narrow alleys in the late afternoon that makes you understand why painters have been obsessed with Andalusian light for centuries. It’s the kind of place where you end up extending your stay if you can swing it – not because there’s anything dramatically luxurious about it, but because it just feels right for experiencing Seville the way it’s meant to be experienced.

• David from Canada – 24 May 2023 (9/10)

  Close location to many attractions and can walk pretty much anywhere or take a short taxi ride, didn't expect to be this huge apartment with lots of windows, good strong wifi, big TV with Netflix and other channels, and the washing machine and A/C worked well to meet our needs. Didn't cook in the apartment, but all the utensils were available to use. Hosts were good in responding to any questions we had via texts. Enjoyed the stay here.
  
  What could be improved: Not much…could have used a few more towels for a family of four. Otherwise, no real issues.

• Marie from Philippines – 5 October 2023 (7/10)

  The apartment is clean and complete with what we need. It has a good location, near Alcázar and the Cathedral. There are many restaurants nearby, in fact there is one right beside the apartment that serves good food at a very reasonable price.
  
  What could be improved: What I don’t like is that it has no elevator and we had a hard time bringing up and down our big luggages.
