Hotel Silken Al-Andalus - Seville

8.5

We stayed in both a normal double, and one night in an executive double. At the rates available here it is a bargain, but their "rack" rate is much higher. Walkable to Seville center, but there is a bus service just around the corner which is clean quick and cheap, should you prefer not to. Note as well that the pool closes the second week of September. Not sure when it reopens in the Spring.

8.7

The hotel facilities are modern and clean. The swimming pool and garden are great. The hotel is not close to the city center but there is a bus stop nearby.

8.2

Albergo molto bello peccato che sia abbastanza distante dal centro

9.1

Overall, this hotel was great for our needs. We basically used this hotel as a stop-over two times while in Spain. Although the hotel is a little far from the city centre, we had a car so it was not a problem. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, since this is a very large hotel, there are a number of restaurants to choose from and this made it easier for us.

8.9

Das Hotel macht von aussen den Eindruck einer stillgelegten Fabrikhalle, wenn man jedoch hinein geht, hat es den Flair eines sauberen 4 Sterne Hotels, dass diesen Eindruck Lügen straft. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Das Personal war hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel ist mit dem Flughafenbus bis Busbahnhof und von dort weiter mit dem Bus Nr. 34 bequem zu erreichen.

8.9

Tres joli hotel, tres luxueux. Tres belle chambre, bon rapport qualite / prix. L'adresse indique que l'hotel est situé sur une artere principale alors que l'hotel est situé sur une petite rue adjancente ...

9.8

excellent value for money and the best breakfast ever! Staff helpful and friendly. Have already recommended it to friends. Even though there was a big football match right next door, we encountered no noise or disruption!

8.2

This was our first trip to Sevilla and we arrived on Good Friday and stayed through Easter Sunday.The city was very busy with holiday visitors. We felt fortunate to have booked reservations at this hotel for a 3-day minimum stay. Directions to the hotel for arrival by car from Granada were excellent. One of the bellmen/concierge staff went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us return the rental car. Taxi service was excellent to the downtown area, though the bus services may have been equally good.

9.3

We stayed in this lovely hotel on a bed and breakfast basis because we intended to sample the cuisine in tapas bars and restaurants in the evening. The breakfast was one of the best ever - beautiful selection of fresh fruit, cereals, perfect eggs and a variety of breads. Wish we had had our evening meal here because compared to the hotel, food in town was a disappointment. We walked into town but would reccommend getting a bus or taxi. Taxi was a bit steep coming back (14euros) Later the piano player soothed us as we put up our feet and sipped drinks in the lounge.

4.5

We were disappointed about the small room in the first floor. Employees were not helpfull and not friendly.

9.3

es un gran hotel,de facil acceso,perfecto respecto a servicios y calidades, La relacion calidad-precio ha sido muy buena. Los servicios ofrecidos son perfectos y el trato del personal exquisito. Sin duda,si he de elegir de nuevo un hotel en Sevilla,elegiria el al-andalus. Recomiendo el restaurante italiano que tienen (italica),muy buena cocina y buen precio.

7.1

the hotel is or rather was very nice,although it does need to be brought upto date,this is the only complaint the rest quite pleasent

7.9

This hotel was slightly further out of the city center than the one we used for our first stay in Seville but the savings in price justified this decision and were spent on enjoying tapas, sangria and a taxi back after.

9.7

Ideal location if travelling to Seville by car (especially from the Costa del Sol). Easy access into central Seville, around 5 euro by taxi or 1 euro each by bus. Would have been good to have breakfast included in the price, but at 60 euro per room per night for this quality hotel, who's complaining? Nice gardens, pool area and bar for relaxing when exhausted by the sightseeing. I believe this is only open in high season.

6.9

The price of the meals in the different restaurants of the hotel are very expensive

8.4

El hotel está bastante bien ubicado (aprx. 1 km de las zonas de visitas), aunque por comodidad siempre tomarás un taxi o tu propio coche. Tiene dos alas diferentes una de 1992(Al-Andalus) y otra de 2002 (Ala Palace). Las habitaciones son iguales en ambas alas a excepción de la edad, por lo que verás que las del área palace tienen colchón de latex, televisores nuevos.. y símplemente está mucho más nuevo. El único inconveniente de éste ala es el ruido si te dan una habitación que de al balcón del gigantesco lobby, ya que al ser enorme y de cristal cualquier ruido, como el de el piano bar, cualquier persona que descanse en los sofás ( o el cachondeo de una boda en el fin de semana, como viví yo) no te dejarán descansar adecuadamente por el eco que se genera. Por eso si te dan ese area, es mejor que especifiques que tu habitación no de al lobby. El buffet es muy bueno, variado, fresco y bastante bien presentado, aunque quizás cada uno debe evaluar si merecen los 12€+iva p.p que cuesta (más que en paradores), aunque siempre será más comodo desayunar al levantarte, además de la agradable sensación de hacerlo en el patio. Por lo demás es perfecto, hay dos recepciones y por lo tanto el check in y check out es rapidísimo. Las plazas de parking son 9€+iva al día, y no hay problema para aparcar fuera, siempre que no sean fechas especiales, como feria, semana santa o que haya partido en el estadio Ruiz de Lopera (justo al lado). En general muy bien, auque personalmente creo que la próxima vez me gustaría probar el encanto de alojarme en el puro centro, y sentir menos todos esos servicios lujosos que te ofrece un gran hotel de ciudad.

7.6

Good value for money.We stayed at the Silken Al Andalus from 1st March 06 - 3rd March 06 and found it to be a very nice hotel. We paid for room only and had breakfast as an added extra on the first morning, however at 12.50 euros each, I would recommend you try somewhere else in the city for better value for money / selection. Good selection of bars at the hotel and a nice outdoor pool (although it was too cold to swim in given the time of year)Would recommend this hotel and although not in the very centre of Seville, very accessible as there are always taxis outside and it costs only approx 5 euros each way. Seville itself is very nice with lots of places of interest, we went mid week so it was pretty quiet although you could see the place starting to come alive on the Friday afternoon.An enjoyable stay - would go back again!

9.1

The hotel was not too near the centre, but only a short taxi journey away and there were always taxis available. The hotel was clean and well presented. The rooms were very nice, however staff could ave been more accomodating with the rooms they offered us and were not very friendly about allowing us to move rooms when requested.

really loved the hotel and the room- wonderful.

9.6

For the price paid relative to other hotels in the city centre itself it was a bargain and was always around 6 Euros in taxis to town. We would strongly recommend the hotel at these prices, and there is a car park which is not common in the city.

8.5

Very clean, spacious and good value. You need to take a taxi ride into town - always available at a rank outside the hotel and costs about EUR6.

9.8

un hotel excelente. De fácil acceso a la zona turística y comercial de sevilla

9.3

A truly excellent hotel Great value for money. Only problem it was a little difficult to find for a stranger to the city

9.5

very good hotel with good busservice to the city available nearby. Nice and large swimmingpool, excellent breakfast

9.6

An ideal location for Seville City. Easy access into the old quarter on local bus or by taxi, even walkable if the weather is not too hot. Most comfortable with good choice of restaurants at very reasonable prices. Excellent pool and lawned areas. Only one complaint - tolerance of smoking in supposedly 'non-smoking' restaurants - it drives me mad!

9.9

Hotel molto bello, ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo, almeno nel mese di agosto. Comoda anche la posizione, con un pullman si raggiunge velocemente il centro della città, oppure con il taxi per circa € 5,00 a corsa, attenzione però alle "fregature" possibili dei tassisti, ci hanno chiesto anche il doppio.

7.9

The only problem we've had was that you have to use the hotel's garage because there were glasses from cars in surroundings of the hotel.

9.6

There is a thing I would like to state here: the price presented is not including VAT neither breakfast. Spain (as far I know) is the unique country in Europe that does not include breakfast in the price. Ok, I considered the price low and more 7% of VAT is not too much but I do not like this kind of surprises. Another thing: I consider the hotel very well located but only for car holders... otherwise, it seems to be far way to go by walk to the center. Cheers!

9.5

This has been the first time I used your site for booking a hotel outside of France, and I've been quite happy with the service you offer. I do recommend your site to my friends and will use it for next summer holidays

6.2

The breakfast was very poor. Plates not clean.

7.5

Original room allocated was facing internal patio on ground floor. had little natural light, and curtains would have to remain closed if you did not want to be observed from the patio. Was finally allocated an outside ground floor room very spacious with a balcony and separate seating area. When we complained about the bath water not flowing away quickly it took two days to fix. TV only had one workable English-language channel. Sound-proofing rather poor.

8.6

pls indicate the long distance from the centre and luck of public transportation

9.7

We were really pleased with the quality of this hotel considering the price we paid. The rooms were excellent.

9.2

price/quality excellent because of low season ! because of season and bad weather : public areas (restaurants) too cold!
