New in Santa Cruz quarter next to Giralda

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Sevilla, and this little gem on Calle Reinoso honestly surprised me. You know how sometimes you book a place mostly for location and end up getting way more than you bargained for? That’s exactly what happened here. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cared about creating something special – not just another cookie-cutter tourist trap.

The location is pretty much unbeatable if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the chaos of the main tourist drags. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Giralda, but tucked away on this quiet residential street where actual sevillanos live. You’ll hear the cathedral bells throughout the day (which I actually loved, though light sleepers might want earplugs), and in the evenings there’s this perfect buzz from the nearby tapas bars without the rowdy crowds you get closer to Plaza de Armas. The Santa Cruz quarter is right there – you can wander those maze-like streets any time you want, but you’re not trapped in the middle of all those tour groups taking selfies at every corner.

What really got me was the attention to detail inside. The rooms have this modern comfort thing going on while still feeling authentically Andalusian – and I don’t mean in that fake way where they just throw some tiles around and call it local character. The beds are actually comfortable (you’d be amazed how often that’s not the case in historic buildings), and they’ve managed to fit proper bathrooms without making everything feel cramped. The staff genuinely knows the neighborhood too, which makes such a difference. They pointed me toward this incredible little bar called El Rinconcillo that I never would have found otherwise, and gave me the real scoop on which flamenco shows are worth your time versus the tourist traps.

Honestly, the whole experience felt more like staying at a well-connected friend’s place than a hotel. The check-in was smooth, parking nearby is actually possible if you know the tricks (which they’ll tell you), and the building itself has character without being falling apart. I stayed there in late spring when Sevilla gets busy, and while you definitely hear the city waking up in the mornings, it never felt overwhelming. The 8.4 rating makes total sense – it’s not perfection, but it’s the kind of place that gets the important stuff right and makes you want to come back. If you’re the type who wants to experience Sevilla like you actually live there for a few days, rather than just checking monuments off a list, this is your spot.

Reviews

• Linda from United Kingdom – 1 March 2025 (8/10)

  Property was well equipped and very clean and comfy. Location was excellent, close to the Cathedral and Palace of Alcázar.
  
  What could be improved: It had no windows or outside space to speak of and also smelt a little musty.

• Brigitte from France – 23 May 2025 (9/10)

  Emplacement au top au centre de tout et à 2 pas de la cathédrale
  L appartement est confortable et bien équipé

• Soizic from France – 10 April 2025 (9/10)

  Accueil à l'arrivée très professionnel, très aimable et avec plein de bons conseils

• Angelucci from Italy – 22 December 2024 (7/10)

  Posizione centralissima e vicina a piedi ai principali monumenti o siti di interesse. Appartamento nuovissimo, ben arredato e ben concepito.
  
  What could be improved: La stanza che dà sul vicolo é rumorosa, quando passano le persone in strada sembra di averle in camera e la vicinanza di un ristorante fa sì che il rifornimento mattutino sia rumoroso. La vera pecca purtroppo è l’umidità. Appena arrivati la biancheria del letto era talmente umida da sembrare bagnata. E’ un vero peccato perché l’appartamento è davvero bello.

• Villarejo from Spain – 19 November 2024 (9/10)

  La limpieza, la decoración y qué no le faltaba ningún detalle y estaba muy bien ubicado para moverte a pie
  
  What could be improved: Qué en algunos sitios del apartamento tenía humedad y olía mucho

• Ruth from Spain – 12 May 2025 (7/10)

  Emplazamiento excelente y muy completo de menaje.
  
  What could be improved: Olía mucho a humedad

• Camilla from Italy – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

  Appartamento nuovo, ben arredato.. stupendo.
  
  What could be improved: Forte umidità: L’appartamento è dotato di apparecchi per il ricircolo dell’aria ma non è abbastanza per la forte umidità presente.
  Poca luce naturale praticamente impossibile aprire le finestre perché affaccia sul vicolo del centro storico.

• Rita from Spain – 28 November 2024 (9/10)

  LA UBICAION EN EL CENTRO Y EL TRATO PERSONAL EN TODO MOMENTO
  
  What could be improved: EL APARTAMENTO ESTABA FENOMENAL, SI ES CIERTO QUE OLIA A HUMEDAD

• Alessandra from Italy – 10 December 2024 (6/10)

  Posizione molto comoda, abbiamo visitato tutto a piedi
  I letti erano comodi
  
  What could be improved: L’appartamento è fornito di due bagni, ed essendo in 4 persone è risultato comodo peccato che si sia rotto ed è stato quindi inutilizzabile.
  Appartamento abbastanza buio e presentava una notevole quantità di muffa

• Marco from Italy – 17 December 2024 (9/10)
