Reviews Hotel Murillo **

Very clean rooms, helpful staff, the Murillo Hotel makes your Sevilla stay very easy. There is an ice machine on the first floor. This was a great asset as it was very hot during our visit in Seville. One important note, ask for two room keys when you check in. You need to insert one key in a special switch to operate the lights and AC inside your room. This is important for power conservation, but it would help to be able to stop by your room and insert one key to cool off the room an hour or so before you return from a day of sightseeing. It took the AC system an hour to cool our room down after a long hot day in July.

VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND, NEEDED TO HAVE A TAXI TAKE US TO IT. BUT GREAT LOCATION IN SEVILLE. ROOMS A LITTLE SMALL, BREAKFAST WAS VERY GOOD.

Perfect location right in the heart of the Santa Cruz barrio, and the hotel itself is a gorgeous old building with exposed wooden beams, intricate molding and marble floors. Probably the most beautiful breakfast room I have ever seen, and the buffet is good too. Rooms are small-ish, but not impossible.

BUT--- noise carries, given all the marble and the age of the building (i.e., no soundproofing). I was on the 2nd floor and could hear everyone entering the lobby (so higher floors are recommended), all the doors on my floor closing--and someone in the room next door snoring; that was a first. There were two groups of American college kids also staying there, and I sense that the fantastic location and relative cost of the hotel draws the collegiate crowd on a regular basis. They were very sweet and polite, but of course noisy and energetic (they too loved Seville!)

The street the hotel is located on is too narrow for taxis, so be sure you have suitcases with rollers--it's only a 5-minute walk, but carrying heavy items through streets already busy with tourists could be a real pain.
