Dolium Apartments

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from Dolium Apartments when I first walked down Calle Alfarería – the street’s got this mix of old ceramic workshops and new developments that can go either way. But you know what? This place actually gets it right. The building itself has this clean, modern look that doesn’t try too hard to be flashy, and when you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone thought about how people actually live when they travel.

The apartments are what I’d call “smart spacious” – not huge, but everything’s laid out in a way that makes sense. The kitchens are actually functional (I mean, you can cook a real meal, not just heat up leftovers), and the living areas have enough room to spread out without feeling like you’re camping in a hotel room. What really impressed me was the attention to details that matter – good water pressure, blackout curtains that actually block light, and Wi-Fi that doesn’t cut out every time someone else logs on. The whole place has this kind of understated elegance, sort of like staying in a friend’s well-designed apartment rather than a generic rental.

Being right in Triana is honestly the best part though. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the Guadalquivir, and you can hit Calle Betis for drinks without needing a taxi back. The neighborhood still feels authentically Sevillian – you’ll hear actual neighbors chatting on their balconies in the evenings, and there’s this great little bakery just around the corner on Calle Pagés del Corro where locals grab their morning coffee. Sure, you’re not in the dead center of the tourist zone, but that’s actually a good thing. You get to experience Seville like someone who lives here, then walk across the Puente de Triana when you want to hit the Cathedral or the Alcázar. The ceramic shops along the street give you this constant reminder that you’re in a neighborhood with real history – not just somewhere they plunked down a hotel because tourists pass through.

Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (this is Seville, after all), but the staff knows the area well enough to point you toward the best spots. Check-in was smooth, and they actually seemed to care about making sure we knew our way around – gave us restaurant recommendations that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps. The only minor thing I’d mention is that weekend evenings can get a bit lively since you’re in a real neighborhood, but honestly, that’s part of the charm. You’re getting the authentic Triana experience, complete with the sounds of people actually living their lives. For the price point and the location, Dolium Apartments hits that sweet spot between comfort and character that’s surprisingly hard to find in Seville.

  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Dionne from United Kingdom – 22 March 2024 (8/10)

  Great quiet location away from the centre which was perfect. Some great restaurants in the vicinity and really close to the river. Extremely comfy bed, nice waterfall shower. Somewhere to leave luggage before or after check in. Responsive host. Basically pretty much all I needed for my 4 night stay.
  
  What could be improved: No bin in the kitchen. Only bin was in the bathroom which was a little odd.

• Tamara from Montenegro – 6 January 2024 (9/10)

  Nice, cozy, clean apartment in the heart of Triana. Very comfortable bed. Quiet street, nothing to distract your good sleep.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike here.

• Laura from Italy – 4 December 2023 (8/10)

  Central, well located, easy to reach, new and in very good conditions. It was clean and all check-in and checkout procedures were easy and fast to do. Bonus: the coffee machine and a few capsules.

• Anna from Poland – 10 November 2023 (9/10)

  The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location was great. Nearby, there are plenty of restaurants, but the neighborhood is quiet. It is within walking distance to the city center, taking 15-30 minutes to walk (depending on the exact location) – 15 minutes to Plaza de Toros and 30 minutes to Plaza de España. I enjoyed the self-check-in; the instructions were clear. The room is well-equipped with modern furniture.
  
  What could be improved: The window provides a view of the wall.

• Adriana from Spain – 10 November 2023 (8/10)

  Cosy and has a very good and calm ubicación. Totally recommended.
  Also the staff super attentive and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: We got the internal apartament, so the bath has no ventilation.

• Amey from Germany – 7 November 2023 (7/10)

  The room was very clean. Restaurants and grocery stores are close to the apartment. A closed parking garage is at a 5 minute walking distance.
  
  What could be improved: Our apartment was in the basement. Air-conditioning was the only option to get fresh air, but since we were there at the end of October, it was considerably cold at night. Since it was raining, we could not open the window that was provided on the ceiling.
  Understanding the check in process with electronic number locks can be tricky at first.
