New modern – quiet street – Setas de Sevilla

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first walked down Calle Castellar – it’s one of those narrow Old Town streets that looks pretty unremarkable from the outside. But this little New Modern place completely surprised me. The building itself is tucked away on what’s actually a really peaceful stretch, which is sort of miraculous when you consider you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Setas (those giant wooden mushroom structures that everyone photographs). I mean, you can see them from some of the upper windows, but you can’t hear the tourist crowds at all.

The “modern” part of the name isn’t just marketing fluff – they’ve actually done something clever here. The space feels contemporary and clean without being cold, you know? The floors have this polished concrete look that stays cool even during Seville’s brutal summer afternoons, and the windows are these big, perfectly soundproofed panels that keep out the occasional delivery truck or late-night reveler. What really got me was how they’ve managed to blend in local touches without going overboard – there’s beautiful tilework in the bathrooms that feels authentically Andalusian, not like something from a hotel supply catalog. The beds are seriously comfortable too, which matters more than you’d think after a day of walking on cobblestones.

Location-wise, this is where the place really shines. You’re deep enough into the Old Town to feel like you’re experiencing real Seville, but Calle Castellar connects you to everything without the chaos. Walk five minutes toward the cathedral and you’re in full tourist mode, but head the other direction toward Calle Feria and you’ll find yourself in neighborhoods where locals actually live and eat. There’s a tiny tapas place called Bar Eslava just around the corner that does incredible montaditos – honestly, it’s where I ended up eating three nights in a row because the hotel staff mentioned it. The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward too, none of that overly formal hotel theater. They actually gave me useful recommendations based on what I was interested in, not just the standard tourist checklist. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the street can get a bit echo-y late at night when people are walking home from dinner, but the soundproofing handles most of it, and honestly, that’s just part of staying in a real neighborhood. For the price point and the genuine local feel, this place gets everything right that matters.
