FERNANDO III HOTEL SEVILLE

"Overall very good hotel in excellent location with splendid rooftop pool. Decor in public areas is very Spanish, slightly dated, but for us this added to its charm. Rooms are pretty standard. One member of staff (manager?) was unhelpful when we asked for info on car hire - we asked again later (to one of his colleagues) and she booked it for us - very handy as we don't speak Spanish. We traveled as 2 adults and 2 children and were given interconnecting twin rooms (without asking) which was a nice surprise. Location is perfect for visiting main tourist attractions with many bars and restaurants right outside the hotel - plus a great, authentic flamenco show just a couple of minutes walk away. Rooftop pool was a great asset in heat of Seville summer - not huge but plenty of room to cool down in. Recommended. " - John Williams

"A very good hotel. A bit noisy through to the tile floor halls and semiaggressive cleaning ladies :-) But all in all the best deal to get in Seville and with a marvellous rooftop pool. The staff was friendly and very helpful so the post further up about a rude staff was not ou experience at all. We stayed there for three days. Went away for 14 and came back for one more day. And all through they were excellent" - Soren Vestergaard

"Lovely hotel, rooftop pool was fab - only downside from 8am when the tiled floor in the halls echoed everyone's doors closing as they went in and out for breakfast. OK if you arent as lazy as me! Valet parking also good. " - Anonymous

"We thought we had booked a double bedded room but on arrival we were given twin beds and were told that was all there was available as we were only there one night. The room was clean but rather dreary and shabby, considering it had had a make over in 2000. Also the blurb said that there would be a mini bar and a balcony - neither was in evidence but as we were not staying there long it wasn't a problem. Staff very friendly and helpful and location brilliant for sight seeing. Breakfast very disappointing - better to go across the road to one of the many respectable but cheaper restaurants instead.
