La Rosa de la Alfalfa

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Seville, and La Rosa de la Alfalfa just gets it right in a way that’s hard to explain. You know how some hotels feel like they’re trying too hard? This isn’t one of them. It sits right on Calle Alfalfa – and I mean literally right in the heart of the old town where you can hear the buzz from the tapas bars below but somehow it never gets obnoxious. The building itself has this worn-in elegance that feels authentically Sevillan, not like someone’s idea of what Seville should look like.

What really struck me was how the staff actually knows the neighborhood. I mean, they didn’t just hand me a generic tourist map – the guy at reception told me which corner bakery opens earliest (it’s the one two blocks toward Plaza del Salvador, in case you’re wondering) and which nights the flamenco at Casa de la Memoria gets too crowded. The rooms have this perfect balance of old-world character and modern comfort – thick walls that keep out the street noise, but you can still crack a window and hear the city breathing. The bathrooms are honestly better than I expected for a four-star place, with rainfall showers that actually have decent pressure. Small thing, but when you’ve been walking cobblestones all day, it matters.

Here’s what I loved most though – the location puts you right in the middle of everything without feeling touristy. You’re a five-minute walk from the Cathedral, sure, but you’re also stumbling distance from places like Bar Alfalfa where locals actually drink. The Alameda de Hércules is right there too, which gets lively at night but not in an obnoxious way. Parking can be a nightmare in this part of town (honestly, just don’t rent a car), but there’s a public garage about three blocks away that won’t completely destroy your budget. The 9.5 rating makes sense when you add it all up – it’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but everything works exactly like it should. Check-in was smooth, the WiFi didn’t cut out every ten minutes, and housekeeping managed to clean around my stuff without moving everything. You know what I mean? Those little things that can make or break a trip. If you want to feel like you’re actually in Seville instead of some sanitized version of it, this is your spot.

• Lina from Colombia – 31 May 2025 (10/10)

  Location and everything.

• Weber from United States – 13 May 2025 (8/10)

  The location was nice. The bar right on the corner, Bar Alfalfa, ended up being our favorite place we ate! Despite being downtown, the room was quiet and comfortable. There was amble space for two people, our bags and still space to lounge. The laundry was a nice bonus.
  
  What could be improved: The only problem was the air conditioning, which we couldn’t use our last night due to a leak. This made our last night a bit uncomfortable as it does get warm.

• Nicola from United Kingdom – 5 May 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable apartment and bed. Nice bathroom. Great location. In the middle of City but still quiet inside apartment.
  
  What could be improved: It was a little dark but weather was not great when we were there which may have contributed.

• Teodor from Bulgaria – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  Great little apartment in the historic center of Sevilla, it's close to the main touristic sightseeings and the shopping streets. You can find really good restaurants on the small streets around. Despite being so central, the apartments was really quiet. Clean, comfy, well furnished and just perfect for couples. Hosts are always available if you have any questions.

  What could be improved: We liked everything!

• David from United Kingdom – 20 April 2025 (10/10)

  The layout and furnishings were excellent. Really clean and tidy and location is superb. It felt very safe and secure away from the hustle and bustle of the alfalfa square.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.
