Hotel San Gil - Seville

We loved Hotel San Gill but were completely surprised by how far from the center of the city it was. This was a function of the map locater in Frommer's guide, which had the location completely wrong. The area where the hotel is, is not within walking distance of the city center. There are almost no restaurants nearby, and those that are, are closed on Sunday and Monday. The area is experiencing a rennaisance and will be tres chic in a few years. Although we would never have found the fantastic restaurant- Manolo y Leon if we had not staid at San Gil, don't miss it.

The parking facilities provided were difficult to find even with the bad map and bad directions the hotel staff gave us, I mean it was fairly ridiculous. When we did find it 2 streets over and 30 mins later, having to drive down a one way street as recomended by hotel staff we were not happy! The sensor on the wall to open garage was only marked with a chalked x!It took me quite a while to find it and only then by pure chance.We didn't eat that night as it was too late by then. The room was cold, no extra blankets provided and it stank of smoke. Also the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. I've stayed in quite a few hotels in Seville and I wouldn't use this one again.

San Gil, is an oasis of calm in the macarena area of Seville. The staff are attentive and courteous and the standard of cleanliness etc is excellent. The hotel is centred around a peaceful courtyard and the rooms overlook this lovely area. We did not dine in the hotel but breakfasts standards were good. This is our secind visit and would always use this hotel when visiting Seville. Its location is good with the centre and sights etc in comfortable walking distance through the lovely streets of the macarena.

Very nice stay - would say however that dinner at the restaurant leaves a bit to be desired. Service was not great and the food was not as good as we found elsewhere in Seville. Breakfast however was excellent. Rooms were clean beds were comfortable, bit of noise in the halls but the couryard and pool were very nice to sit and relax in.

We were somewhat disappointed about the fact that there was no internet connection, nor in the rooms, nor in the lounge. Also, the rooms were not so modern anymore and could use a freshen-up.

I would highly recommend the hotel. The rooms were really clean and large and the staff were very helpful. The only drawback is that its not right in the tourist centre but we enjoyed our 15 minute walks to the centre and the advantage of the location was that it was vey quiet!

No jacuzzi in our room, looks like we go one of the five rooms without, room was also quite noisy. Alot futher from the town centre then we realised. Staff were execellent so was the breakfast and the pool more than made up for the distance from the town centre

The room was small and cramped, there was no need for the large settee (a couple of chairs would have sufficed) which together with the bed completely swamped the room and left little space for any movement. I would not have stayed in the room for a second night! The fridge door didn't close properly. The toilet was so close to the opposite wall, a tall person would have banged their knees when sitting down! There were no small spoons laid out in the breakfast room and when I asked one of the staff for one, she seemed quite surly and when returning, didn't bring one to my table but took them to the general cutlery cabinet instead, not a great inconvenience, but not good service either! A shame, because the rest of the hotel staff were very efficient and friendly. A very nice courtyard and foyer. and the roof terrace was excellent. I have stayed at better hotels in Seville for the same money. Not the best, but not one of the worst either!

We chose a junior suite which I can recommend as we had our own private roof terrace with sun loungers and a rahter fab bathroom. The location of the hotel does mean lots of walking or use of the buses. All in all a good hotel.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans ce charmant hôtel. Seul petit inconvénient: la piscine n'était pas ouverte lors de notre séjour fin mai, malgré des températures déjà estivales.

Venere quoted 222EU but it was actually 172EU, nice surprise but it could have put us off going there! We loved the hotel it was beautiful. Only problem was arriving by car. The maps don't show the one-way streets, so after passing the hotel at the wrong end of the street we had a nightmare of half hour driving around dozens of very narrow streets - mostly one way before we got to the correct end of Parrass and fortunately found a parking space outside the hotel.

Disappointed when we had to change our room due a flood next door. That was unavoidable, but there was no apology or compensation offered. The packed breakfast on the day of departure due to an early flight was unimaginative and poor value. We had asked in advance if they would cancel breakfast but we had to accept it. The one meal we had, apart from breakfasts which were excellent, was poor value.
