Guesthouse Ibis Budget Sevilla Aeropuerto (Seville, Spain)

Many visitors paid tribute to members of staff on the 24-hour reception, often describing them as helpful, professional and pleasant. Furthermore, many were English-speaking.

The location beside the junction of the SE-30 ring road and A-4 on the outskirts of Seville proved popular as it put guests roughly halfway between the airport and the historic city centre with its magnificent architecture and trio of World Heritage Sites. Holidaymakers enjoyed uncomplicated access to further Seville highlights like sports venues, shopping and museums. Non-motorists appreciated the proximity of bus stops, while drivers liked being close to public and private parking plus petrol stations.

The modern, simple and minimalist design of the rooms appealed to most visitors, who felt they were well-cleaned and fine for a shorter budget getaway. Budget-conscious travellers frequently said they got a good deal thanks to the usually cheap room rates.

Even though many guests felt the accommodation was fairly tranquil and soundproofed effectively, some light sleepers claimed traffic noise was occasionally audible in certain rooms facing the motorway.

Diners had mixed feelings over the breakfast buffet. Some felt it was convenient, affordable and plentiful; others said it was basic and offered a limited menu. Some critics said they would have preferred a wider choice of higher quality items even if it had cost a little more.

As they were in one of Europe's hottest cities, some guests had difficulties adjusting the room temperature to their liking. Several reviewers felt the rooms were small, especially when fully occupied. The way frosted glass doors featured in the en suite bathroom facilities posed occasional privacy issues for some travellers sharing rooms.
