Centriko Conteros

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Seville’s old quarter, and honestly? Centriko Conteros surprised me. When you first walk up to number 12 on Calle Conteros, it doesn’t scream “boutique hotel” from the outside – it’s tucked into this narrow street that most tourists miss entirely, which is actually perfect if you ask me. The building itself has that weathered Andalusian charm, you know, the kind where the stonework tells stories but the inside has been thoughtfully updated without losing its soul.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to capture that authentic Seville vibe without feeling like a museum. The lobby – well, calling it a lobby makes it sound grander than it is – feels more like walking into a sophisticated friend’s home. There’s this subtle scent of orange blossom that drifts through the common areas (I mean, we are in the heart of Seville after all), and the staff actually knows the neighborhood. When I asked about avoiding the tourist crowds at the Cathedral, the guy at reception didn’t just point me toward the obvious times – he told me about the side entrance locals use and which cafés nearby serve proper breakfast instead of the overpriced stuff on the main drags.

The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a solid four-star place, but with personality. Mine overlooked the narrow street, and yes, you’ll hear some foot traffic during the day, but it quiets down nicely in the evenings. The air conditioning actually works (crucial in Seville summers, trust me), and the beds are properly comfortable – not too soft, not like sleeping on a board. What I appreciated most was the attention to small details: decent water pressure, outlets where you need them, and blackout curtains that actually block light for those post-siesta naps. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with good lighting for getting ready to explore the city.

Location-wise, you’re genuinely in the thick of things without being overwhelmed by it. The Cathedral and Alcázar are maybe a seven-minute walk, but you’re far enough from the main tourist arteries that you can actually breathe. There’s this little tapas place two streets over – El Rinconcillo – that’s been serving locals since the 1600s, and finding gems like that becomes easier when you’re staying somewhere the tour groups haven’t discovered yet. Parking is… well, it’s Seville’s old town, so forget about driving here. But the taxi ride from Santa Justa station is reasonable, and once you’re settled, everything worth seeing is walkable anyway.

The 8.3 rating makes sense to me – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it gets the fundamentals right while giving you that genuine neighborhood feel. If you want marble lobbies and concierge services, look elsewhere. But if you’re after a comfortable base that feels connected to the real Seville, where you might actually chat with locals on your way to morning coffee instead of fighting through selfie sticks, Centriko Conteros delivers on that promise. Just book directly if you can – I’ve noticed they sometimes throw in little perks that the booking sites don’t mention.

• Charles from United Kingdom – 19 February 2025 (7/10)

  Amazing, centrally positioned so perfect for walking to all the amazing places to visit. Comfortable bedding and beds. Good WiFi. Great shower.
  
  What could be improved: A delay in getting entry codes but fine once given. A drain odour probably from the kitchen sink on entry to the apartment that reduced once the windows were open. Noisy during the evening due to the central location but not a problem really.

• Aleisha from Australia – 25 September 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was nice and clean, had very comfortable beds and a large sofa bed. It had everything we needed for our 1 night stay, in a great location with parking and attractions so close by. Appreciated the good communication from our host and easy access to the apartment with codes for the door which was helpful as we arrived so late at night!

  Amazing location right on top of it all. Clean, comfortable, well equipped kitchen, lovely shower. Balcony was a nice surprise! I would stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: A little awkward getting to the first floor with all our bags and pram, but doable. No luggage storage offered but advice given, and many luggage storage facilities nearby.
