Hotel Doña Carmela - Seville

Average rating:  6.8

This is an ok hotel for the price - a good value. Rooms and the hotel overall were clean and well kept. The location is ok - near enough to central Seville. But the location surroundings are not so nice (an unattractive neighborhood). The restaurant was reasonably good. Overall, Ok value for the money.

A bit out of town, but free shuttle service provided. Poor buffet breakfast is included, but great little hotel restaurant for lunch or dinner, at a very reasonable price. Lots of free parking nearby.

Si bien queda algo lejos del centro, el servicio de bus que lleva del hotel ida/vuelta resuelve el tema. La calidez y predisposición de quienes atienden es para destacar.

Recomiendo totalmente el hotel, porque aunque está alejado del centro, te acercan en un autobús propio del hotel y gratuito. El servicio es muy bueno, el hotel es acogedor, limpio tranquilo y los precios muy aceptables. El hotel ha ayudado a que la estancia sea todavía más agradable.

The hotel itself was quite nice but very isolated from any bars, restaurants or shops. Having said that there was an excellent courtesy bus for dropping off and picking up wherever youn wanted to go. The hotel restaurant was over priced and not much choice on the menu. It was also in spanish and our phrase book was useless, therefore our meal was not very enjoyable. Overall it was a pleasant stay (overnight) but we would prefer to be more central next time.

Hotel veramente carino e confortevole....se avete la macchina e' l'ideale perche' la struttura e' situato a circa 7 km dal centro della citta' che comunque e' facilissimo raggiungere....se non avete la macchina c'e' una navetta dell'hotel ad orari prestabiliti...ottimo rapporto qualita' prezzo.....consigliato

Great hotel, although outside the center of Seville, the hotel compensates with a bus service to the city center, and to the places where there are events (april fair, bullring, etc)

The only problem is that the hotel is far from the centre of the city, but there is a convenient bus line for that.

The hotel is fine overall, with a very good restaurant offering good day specials (Menu del dia) for just 11 Euros per person. However, it also has some drawbacks: first, make sure you are on your own car if you go there, since the free shuttle bus provided by the hotel to go to Sevilla center is only at certain hours, with long breaks (e.g. from 4pm to 8pm), so we could not use it. Also, be prepared to ask for directions: the hotel is hard to find because the provided map is too general, a local area map would be of great help in order to understand to exact route to follow (there are roundabouts, you have to know where to go..). Room: in our case the hotel did not provide a real double room as indicated on the reservation form: it was a twin room instead - which disappointed us a lot - whose only window was on an internal small courtyard, providing very little fresh air (the air conditioning, in april, was not operating). Breakfast: just fair, they could add at least some pastry (a croissant?) since the only thing you get is basically fresh bread. Overall judgment: this hotel can be value for money if you can pay it not over 50-60 euros per room per night, but at the Semana Santa rate (120 Euros) we found it too expensive and out of city.

the surroundings are absolutely awful, it seems to be in an area that has been hit by a bomb and has been destroyed apart the hotel: there are car thieves and prostitutes.

It was very dissappointing to learn that the hotel was actually 1/2 hr drive from the centre of Seville. Many city taxi firms were reluctant to take us back to our hotel because of it's location. There was an excellent public bus service which took you into town but very hard to try and find the bus service back to the hotel because of the road works and diversions in the centre of Seville. I would not use this hotel again because of it's location.

I booked the hotel bvecause it waas advertised as a 5 minute walk fromk the city centre. This proved to be incorrect--a taxi ride took 20-30 minutes and the hotels transport 30-50 mins depending on traffic. For a short trip the hotel is unsuitable as it is too far out and it is a pity that the inaccurate description was allowed to be used on the web site

A prima vista l'albergo non sembra particolarmente promettente. Tuttavia una notazione particolare va fatta alle camere che sono ben arredate, allegre, moderne ed accoglienti. Colazione non ricchissima ma sufficiente. Nota dolente: l'albergo è completamente fuori dal centro città. Un problema per chi non ha una auto al seguito.

The Hotel is pleasant as a whole, but very far from the city centre, and very difficult to find if you don't have a map of the sorroundings of Seville.If we hadn't had the car, it would have been a real problem. I think it should be clearly mentioned on the web page.

The hotel service and rooms were very good but the location was a little far from the city centre. But, there was a direct bus (no.72) from the hotel till the city centre..the ride took 15-20 mins. The hotel provided a free shuttle service for rides to and from the airport/train station. Internet was not free but could be bought for a minimal charged and used in the rooms on private laptops or on teh public computer.

fantastic base to explore the city, away from all the hustle and bustle, but not too far to enjoy the most beautiful scenary and culture of the city of Seville.
