San Vicente-Museo Apartamento

Hotel Description

Okay, so I’ll be honest – when I first heard “apartamento museo,” I was expecting something stuffy and museum-like, you know? But San Vicente-Museo is actually this really cool blend where you get proper apartment-style space but with these gorgeous historical touches that make you feel like you’re living in old Seville rather than just visiting it.

The location on Calle San Vicente is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the absolute chaos of the main tourist strips. You’re literally steps from the Alcázar (I mean, you can walk there in maybe three minutes), but the street itself has this lovely residential feel where you’ll see actual sevillanos going about their day. There’s this little bakery just around the corner that opens ridiculously early – great if you’re still on weird jet lag time like I was. The apartments themselves are spacious in a way that’s rare for European city centers, and honestly, after weeks of cramped hotel rooms, having a proper kitchen and living area felt like such a luxury. What really got me though were these unexpected details – original tile work that’s been preserved, these gorgeous high ceilings that keep everything cool even in Seville’s brutal summer heat, and windows that actually open wide (you’d be surprised how many places seal you in with just AC).

The whole “museo” aspect isn’t gimmicky either – it’s more like staying in a carefully curated space where someone who really loves Seville has collected beautiful things over time. I found myself just wandering around the common areas in the evenings, looking at old photographs of the neighborhood and these antique maps that showed how the streets have evolved. The staff genuinely knows their stuff about the area too – not just the obvious tourist spots, but they pointed me toward this incredible little tapas place on Calle Mateos Gago that I never would have found otherwise, and told me exactly when to visit the Cathedral to avoid the worst crowds (Tuesday mornings, if you’re wondering). Parking can be a bit tricky since you’re in the old town – there’s no on-site lot, but they’ll direct you to a decent garage about a five-minute walk away. The 8.9 rating makes total sense to me because honestly, this place gets the balance right between authentic local experience and actual comfort. You’re not roughing it, but you’re also not sealed off in some generic international hotel bubble. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was planning a longer trip where having that apartment setup would really matter.

  Everything
  
  What could be improved: Missing a tea towel for drying dishes

• William from Canada – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

  Apartment was comfortable, clean, and location was very convenient. We were there just for one night in one of the busiest seasons of Sevilla, Semana Santa, and sometimes was challenging get to the apartment with our luggage with so many people outside. I'm glad the area was not that busy
  
  What could be improved: One of the codes for the app did'n work so we have to call to open the street door. Apartment door worked fine.
  Also, shower on the second level didn't work so, we used small lower shower.

  Posizione, pulizia
  
  What could be improved: Difficoltà al primo accesso che n chiavi elettroniche

• Dorien from Netherlands – 12 June 2025 (7/10)

  Leuk appartement, van alle gemakken voorzien. Schoon, leuk buurtje met goede restaurants. Niet te ver van het centrum maar wel uit de buurt van alle toeristen drommen. Zeer behulpzame host die meteen op berichtjes reageert.
  
  What could be improved: De ontzettende gehorigheid. Je hoort de buren letterlijk praten. Oordoppen zijn geen overbodige luxe
  Wat ook jammer was, was dat er geen parasol of zonnescherm op het terras was. Dat is in Sevilla echt een must.

• Maribel from Spain – 11 May 2025 (7/10)

  Buena Situacion
  
  What could be improved: Entrada con app.
