Sevilla Travel Forum

we're coming to sevilla on 19.May by rent a car and we are planning to stay just one night. can you recommend us a nice and not expensive hotel where we can park our car for free and which is not far from the city centre?

Well someone else might be able to come with information I couldnt find but Ive twice been in Seville - both times with a car - the worst city ive ever been in trying to find ones way around - and both times ended up at the Ibis for assistance with directions - I would recommend staying there - its a good price really - I was on my own so for me it was expensive but for two or more its a good deal, has parking and and is handy to the city centre and both times the staff were helpful (well i was really lucky and both times it was the same guy behind the desk! - about 6 months apart). Its located beside a main road straight into the city so during daylight it will be much easier to follow a map into town.

I ended up staying at a cheap pension in the city centre (La Fabiola - it was in the Lonely Planet and luckily the guy at the Ibis phoned them for me as they dont speak any english - and same when I wanted to stay the second time I visited for the April Feria I phoned them from here at home but it took a while to communicate that they had no vacancies) where there are quite a few cheap pensions - cheap in Seville is still about 30-35 euro for one person and didnt include breakfast, very close to La Geralda - but no free parking - I parked in the best deal which was very convenient but I had to pay - underground parking was about 12 euro for overnight and until I left the next afternoon.

For my visit to the April fair i slept in the car where I had parked next to the Feria - parking was about 10euro and i had a morning flight and the Sevillians were up partying at the Feria all night! so I packed it in about 4am, other people were sleeping in their vehicles as well!, and then drove off to the airport.

Hello - although it is a couple of years ago we stayed at
Hotel Monte Carmelo
Calle Turia 7,
41011 Sevilla.

It is just over the river - an easy 10 minute walk across the bridge and into town, the historical centre and all the tourist attractions.
We were very satisfied with the hotel and its location.
There was no car park but we found free parking on the street opposite and, once parked, we did not move the car until we left 3 days later.

I forgot to mention that Hotel Monte Carmelo is still getting good reviews on Tripadvisor.

mention of the IBIS hotel above reminds me that it is right on the road - Avenida Kansas City - that leads into Seville from Cordoba (and airport) direction - so if you are arriving from that way then it will be almost the first hotel you see on your right. Just past the circumnavigation road that runs around Seville.
Price at the hotel is reasonable and as far as I know, the parking outside is still free. To get into the centre of Seville is fairly easy because you walk for 200 metres to the nearest bus stop and the bus goes down Kansas City then on through the main roads until San Sebastian where you can walk across to the old tobacco building and rear of Alcazar and into the old quarter. IBIS has a standard hotel and you may know the style already. if you want quaint Spanish then this is not it ! But it is handy for car travellers and clean lodgers.
