Hotel Giralda Center

The hotel is in a great location, right on the edge of the restricted traffic zone, making it super easy to drive directly to the property if you're on a road trip! It's just a short walk to Plaza de España and very convenient for getting around. Being right next to the University of Seville, there are also plenty of student-friendly, budget-conscious restaurants nearby. Check-in required a bit of a wait; we were able to get into our room just after 2 PM, but I saw other guests having to wait until after 3 PM. We paid an extra €30 to upgrade to a suite, and it was fantastic—spacious, cozy, with a huge bathroom! The amenities were fully stocked, including toothbrushes and toothpaste. The beer at the lobby bar was surprisingly great; the frosted mugs were perfectly chilled, and the slushy-like foam on top was so refreshing! Breakfast was also wonderful, complete with champagne and a tuna salad in olive oil. The rooftop pool was an amazing experience as well. The room service presentation was over-the-top fancy—even just a pizza was served on a metal platter under a cloche! It felt very royal. Overall, it was a truly great stay!

It's pretty good, quite spacious and grand. The parking lot costs €18 per night, but it's very large and convenient. It's a 20-minute walk to the cathedral, and driving to the airport is also very quick! The highlight is the breakfast—you definitely need to add it, it's delicious with a great variety.

The rooftop pool's water was a beautiful blue, making me really want to jump in and enjoy it. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time, so I could only take photos. The hotel's location is excellent, the room is spacious, and the breakfast is decent.

Heads up! I stayed here for two days. The room facilities were alright. For a twin room, they only provided one toothbrush, which was a bit odd, but I let it slide. What really bothered me was that for both nights, the duvet consisted of two sheets with a duvet insert in between. The slightest movement meant direct contact with the insert, which was quite uncomfortable.

The hotel environment is great. Although there's no free water in the room, the lobby offers complimentary orange juice and iced water until 8 PM. The hotel is conveniently located about a 15-minute walk from the old town center. The breakfast is rich and varied, and the rooftop pool offers excellent views.

To be honest, the location is a bit out of the way. While it's close to Plaza de España, everything else is quite far. There's a lot of walking to do in Seville. A taxi from the airport to the hotel cost 29 euros at night. The hotel does have a hairdryer. There was no complimentary water. Overall, the stay was good. However, when they cleaned the room and changed the sheets, they just tossed my clothes from the bed onto a nearby chair, which I found quite unacceptable.

The hotel facilities are relatively new, but the duvet covers and towels are indeed a bit old. Both breakfast and dinner were very good. It's a bit far from the old town, but I recommend taking the tram three stops to the cathedral, then walking back to the hotel via the Spanish Steps. The hotel's parking is convenient for self-driving, and this hotel's parking lot is considered large in Europe; you can simply press a button to get a ticket upon entry.

Close to Seville Cathedral and the Royal Alcázar, but still a 15-20 minute walk. It has its own parking, which is 18 Euros for an overnight stay – quite expensive. The underground garage is a bit narrow, so be careful when driving down. The room is quite spacious and the bed is comfortable. The rooftop pool is especially noteworthy; in the morning, with the sunlight, the bottom looks like a beautiful white sand beach. You need to get pool towels from the front desk and leave a 10 Euro deposit per day with a bank card.

To be fair, the location is quite good. It's not far from several main attractions like Plaza de España, Alcázar of Seville, and Seville Cathedral, all within walking distance, about 1 km or 10-15 minutes. The hotel is a four-star establishment, and it definitely feels like one. It has an attached restaurant, and the rooftop pool offers a fantastic view. However, in terms of service, during check-in around 5-6 PM, which is peak time, there was only one young man at the front desk. He had to enter guest information, answer various phone calls, and solve all sorts of temporary issues, which led to us waiting a long time to check in. While the check-out time was conveniently at 12 PM, when we returned at 11:30 AM to get our things, we couldn't get into the room. We had to go up and down four or five times before finally getting in to retrieve our luggage and check out [embarrassed emoji]. The room itself was very spacious, with a small sofa, and the bathroom was also large, featuring a three-part design with two sinks. However, there was no complimentary drinking water, no iron, and no tissue paper, which were small inconveniences that made things quite bothersome. Additionally, there aren't many dining options around the hotel, at least not within 500 meters. The surrounding area consists of large roads, and crossing them often requires a long wait, making dining feel inconvenient.
