Hotel Alabardero (Seville, Spain)

From the vines trailing over the interior balconies to the authentic, period style of the rooms, there is something undeniably romantic and charming about every inch of this hotel - it tends to sweep guests off their feet.

Guests love the position of this hotel, as it's close to Seville's major attractions. You can glimpse many of them from the rooftop terrace, and when you step out of the hotel, it's right into Seville's Old Town streets.

The hotel's restaurant has a great reputation, and is renowned for teaching the chefs of tomorrow. It operates with set menus, but guests say that everything is done to perfection, and the reviews are nothing short of glowing.

Seville is very much a city for pedestrians and cyclists, and it can be very tricky to navigate by car. The hotel's parking garage is complicated, but staff will park your car for you. You'll probably want to leave it there till the end of your stay!

Breakfast, while decent, seems to be quite limited in its variety. Guests also say that there can be some confusion as to whether you can go up and select items, or whether you have to wait for an order to be taken.

Since all the rooms are individual, each is slightly different, and there are different prices reflecting this. However, one has only interior windows and is quite small, which leaves it rather dark. It's worth requesting a different room.
