Apartamentos San Francisco

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Apartamentos San Francisco? The moment you step through that entrance on Calle Águilas, you’re hit with this incredible sense of calm – which is honestly pretty remarkable considering you’re smack in the middle of Seville’s old town chaos. I mean, you’re literally surrounded by some of the city’s most tourist-heavy streets, but somehow this place feels like stepping into your Spanish grandmother’s renovated home (if you’re lucky enough to have one).

The location is actually kind of genius when you think about it. Yeah, you’re going to hear the occasional late-night reveler stumbling back from the tapas bars – it’s Seville, after all – but you’re also a two-minute walk from Plaza del Salvador, which locals will tell you has better morning coffee than the touristy spots near the cathedral. The apartments themselves have this lived-in authenticity that a lot of four-star places try to fake with expensive staging. The kitchens are properly equipped too, not just for show, which matters if you want to grab some jamón ibérico from the market on Calle Feria and actually do something with it. I particularly loved the way afternoon light filters through those traditional shutters – you get that golden Andalusian glow without the brutal summer heat that can make ground-floor rooms unbearable elsewhere in the city.

What really sold me, though, was how the staff handled the practical stuff without making a big show of it. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward (no hovering concierge trying to upsell tours you don’t want), and when I mentioned I was worried about parking, they pointed me toward a spot locals use that’s about a five-minute walk away – way cheaper than the tourist garages. The 9.3 rating makes sense once you’ve been there a few days, because it’s those small things that add up: reliable wifi that doesn’t cut out during video calls, proper water pressure in showers that have clearly been updated recently, and – this might sound silly – but towels that actually dry you off instead of just moving water around. Plus, being in the heart of the old town means you can walk to the Real Alcázar before the tour groups arrive, grab lunch in Plaza de la Alfalfa when it’s still quiet, and stumble home after exploring the bars around Plaza del Salvador without needing to navigate Seville’s somewhat chaotic public transport. It’s the kind of place where you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews

• Vimolsiri from Spain – 23 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was great, 10-15m walk from most things but still very quiet and peaceful inside. Also a very easy check in and check out, plus our host was very responsive and helpful.

• Stephanie from New Zealand – 13 October 2024 (10/10)

  We stayed in Apt 4 on the top floor and loved having the outdoor area just outside our door. The apartment is lovely and we really appreciated the extra touches like the coffee, tea, iron, drying rack, hooks where we needed them. The little things that so often aren’t there. Our host was extremely helpful and very responsive. The property was super clean and located right in the historic part of the city. We loved staying in a working convent. Highly recommend this property.
  
  What could be improved: Perhaps the stairs would be challenging for some particularly if you had a lot of heavy luggage

• Charles from Spain – 16 June 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is in a great location for vacationers. You can walk to the Real Alcázar, the Seville Cathedral, restaurants and Flamenco shows. Our group of 3 spent 2 nights.
  
  The interior is neat, clean and nicely decorated in “IKEA” style. The kitchen has everything you need for an extended stay including a capsule coffee maker and a dishwasher. The beds were clean and comfortable. The pillows were good quality making sleeping easy. The bathroom has a large shower with shower gel and shampoo. There was plenty of hot water. The Wi-Fi and air conditioner worked well.
  
  Parking in the neighborhood is very limited. We used the Imagin Parking Garage about a 10 minute walk from the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: One ceiling fan was missing its remote but a floor
  standing fan was provided. The air conditioner is in the living room so the bedroom doors must stay open to sleep comfortably in Spain’s summer heat.

• Maria from Spain – 19 May 2025 (9/10)

• Stephane from France – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  Superbe emplacement

• Jan from Poland – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Mieszkanie niewielkie, ale zapatrzone we wszystko co potrzebne do przyjemnego i estetycznego pobytu. Kuchnia przygotowana idealnie, bardzo miłym akcentem były pomarańcze i wyciskarka do soków, kawa i kapsułki do kawy oraz ekspres i moka do zrobienia kawy. Kochamy tosty i był toster! Ilość talerzy i sztućców, filiżanki i szklanki, naczynia i olej; przyprawy dostępne na miejscu – w moim bogatym już życiu podróżnika z Bookingiem – na najwyższym poziomie. Mydło i płyn pod prysznic to naprawdę był luxus. Lokalizacja idealna- w samym sercu Sewilli. A obecność kościoła w okresie wielkanocnym- to była dla nas prawdziwa świąteczna magia. Pod drzwiami do apartamentu przechodziły cały Wielki Tydzień ( Semana Santa) niezwykle i uroczyste procesje . Przy wejściu sklepik z własnymi wypiekami Sióstr Klarysek – pyszne ciasteczka i przemiła Siostra prowadzącą sklepik. Polecamy gorąco spróbować ciastek!
  
  What could be improved: My nie mamy nic do zarzucenia, wszystko zasługuje na najwyższą ocenę.

• Mercedes from Spain – 17 April 2025 (10/10)

  Salvo unas campanas que sonaban en algún momento de la madrugada, la desconexión y la calma en el interior fue total. El espacio cuenta con lo suficiente y está recogido y limpio. El anfitrión estuvo pendiente de nosotros aclarándonos dudas y facilitándonos información turística. Como los días eran lluviosos, nos había facilitado hasta paraguas por si los necesitábamos. Muy de agradecer todo.
  
  What could be improved: Por decir algo, aunque no es imprescindible, la puerta del lavabo está un poco hinchada y cuesta abrirla y cerrarla porque se engancha.

• Francesca from Italy – 3 January 2025 (10/10)

  Juan è stato un padrone di casa assolutamente fantastico! Il ritiro delle chiavi, le informazioni e i consigli su cosa vedere e dove mangiare, la flessibilità di un late check-out; tutto si è svolto in maniera immediata e semplicissima. L'appartamento è all'interno del convento in un ambiente tranquillo e pieno di pace. I dolci delle sorelle sono buonissimi, li sfornavano freschi tutti i giorni! L'ambiente è molto pulito e attento a tutti i particolari, noi abbiamo festeggiato il 31 dicembre a casa facendo una cena per 5 persone che è stata davvero una festa! Acqua calda, bagno ampio e pulito, materaassi e cuscini comodi, aria condizionata in ogni stanza per adattarsi alle esigenze di tutti gli ospiti (mia cognata ha sempre caldo, mio marito ha sempre freddo!) Posizione ottima, si raggiunge la Cattedrale e Alcazar in a piedi in 10 minuti.
  
  What could be improved: tutto davvero bello. Nulla da migliorare

• Julija from Lithuania – 18 November 2024 (10/10)

  El apartamento es fantástico, con todo necesario. La ubicación excelente, a unos min de la catedral. A pesar de estar en el mismo centro es muy silencioso, no se escuchaba jaleo. La limpieza excelente. Tiene capsulas de cafe, cafe molido, sal, aceite. Te dejan unas naranjas de bienvenida.
