You said: Chat id like to write a short review of my stay at Alfonso XIII in Seville. What a phenomenal hotel, with such history. Real 19th century opulence. Phenomenal service from checkin onwards being welcomed by the hotel ambassador with drinks. Pretty good breakfast. I think of the 3 other 5 star hotels we stayed at on this trip-- the Luxury Palace in madrid, the Hotel Arts in Barcelona and Alfonso-- the breakfast at Alfonso was a notch above the other 2. Though not the best overall. Extraordinary views, history. The smallest of the suites we stayed yet, but still very comfortable. Centrally located, walking distance from the Cathedral.

From the moment of check-in, the service stood out: being welcomed by the hotel ambassador with drinks set the tone for a gracious, old-world stay. The breakfast was excellent—among the three other five-star hotels we stayed at on this trip (Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville), Alfonso XIII’s was a notch above the others, though not quite the best overall. Still, a very strong showing. The views and sense of history are extraordinary. While this was the smallest suite we stayed in on the trip, it was nonetheless very comfortable and beautifully appointed. The location is another major plus—central and within easy walking distance of the Cathedral. A hotel with real character, elegance, and warmth—an outstanding place to stay in Seville. You said: Please add that the room was smallest because the building itself is old. Built in 1929 as part of the expo.

The breakfast was excellent—of the other five-star hotels we stayed at on this trip, Alfonso XIII’s was a notch above the others. The views and sense of history are extraordinary. This was the smallest suite we stayed in on the trip, but that is very much a function of the building itself, which dates back to the 1929 Ibero-American Expo. Given the age and provenance of the hotel, the room was still very comfortable and beautifully maintained. The location is another major highlight—central and within easy walking distance of the Cathedral. A hotel with genuine character, elegance, and warmth, and a remarkable place to stay in Seville.

This property is exceptional on many levels from the location, the beauty, and the staff. Our room was immaculate and large and gorgeous design. The breakfasts are amazing and has everything one would want. The Bar Americano is beautiful and Jose was a fabulous manager. Highly recommend this property.

Where do I start. We were so excited to see the Seville area and after reading the reviews I knew we had to book this hotel. We stayed for two nights and absolutely did not want to leave. The property itself is so beautiful and is such a landmark. The location could not be more perfect for walking around and exploring Seville. It's an easy walk to the canal area for a quick boat tour or walking to Triana. It was also super easy to walk to all the other fun areas with charming restaurants and shops. The staff at this hotel are absolutely incredible. I'm so sorry I didn't get names, but from the check in process to the extremely kind gentleman who escorted us to our room, we never had a bad experience with any staff member. Our room was the perfect mix of traditional design staying true to the hotel's character, but with modern design and conveniences. We had double sinks and a huge shower and loved how our room had doors to close off the bedroom and bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable. We did the breakfast buffet both mornings which I highly recommend you do not miss. Everything is incredibly delicious and the whole restaurant staff are so kind and provide excellent service. The other thing you don't want to miss is the Americano Bar. What a vibe! We sat at the bar for the live jazz music and could have stayed there for hours. There is no reason to book any other hotel in Seville.
