Hotel San Gil

Beautifully designed hotel, consisting street-sided of an old andalusian mansion together with an atmospheric courtyard plus newly built extension. Thus it offers a great variety of rooms. Ours (No 234) led out into a quiet and narrow street, offering a flat balcony with typical iron grid. The room was not enormously large but perfect for a couple for 5-6 days. Very clean, sheets were changed even without need. Electricity and warm water worked well at any moment (except that famous 12 hrs blackout on Monday April 28th). But even under those circumstances the personel stayed calm and friendly and guided the newcomers to their rooms with flashlights and mobiles. One episode to praise the reception staff: during our stay my wife ran out of reading material -- the lady at the desk managed to get hold of a book (even in German) within half a day ! Thank you once again!

This was our second year running staying at Hotel San Gil. We were allocated a lovely room in the old, original part of the building. The room was larger than most and was very comfortable. The view was over the inner courtyard which has orange trees and other specimen trees. The breakfast caters for everyone’s tastes - wonderful fresh fruit, pastries, cakes, cheeses, cold meats, yoghurts etc etc. The hotel is located in a quiet district that is only 25 minute walk to the main sights and 5 minutes from Hercules Plaza with a good choice of tapas bars etc. This year the hotel has introduced a new 3 course menu for half board clients and it is really nice. My wife has an allergy to onions and one evening every main course had onion, so chef cooked a dish for her that was fantastic.

Comfy bed. Nice friendly and helpful staff. Free infused citrus water in reception area. Booking excursions through front desk. Nice hot bath.

Location excellent except for bells from church - though we found this quite rustic. All reception staff were superb , efficient and friendly with nothing seeming too much trouble. Pool area clean and tidy and perfect to cool down and sunbathe. Lovely quite courtyard to sit and enjoy a drink and work.

An attractive traditional property in a back street, lovely tiled courtyard, helpful staff. Tasteful room with bath and plenty of hot water. Roof terrace great for relaxing in late afternoon sun after sightseeing. Location close to Hercules square for lots of bars and eating places. Also v close to open top bus stop. Breakfast was comprehensive, lots of choice and delicious cakes! Pity no fresh orange juice in Seville! Staff very accommodating. Parking was extraordinary, a staff member came with us, we drove for about a mile, ended up in a lift, up to a tiny first floor cp… impossible for a bigger car than our renault. We descended the lift which magically opened into the hotel!
