What people say
This was a fabulous hotel! It is very small (only 12 rooms in all). We were on our honeymoon and out of 5 different hotels we stayed at this was our favorite! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic! A few steps down from the hotels front door is the Cathedral (the third largest in the world and where Christopher Columbus is buried)!. Location (although might be a problem for car travellers), really closeto the sightseeings. The room was spacious and nice, good facilities.The staff was really friendly, they even lend us a laptop to use in theroom for no extra charge (we only paid for internet, and it veryreasonable).all reviews »
I stayed at five different hotels in five different cities, and I liked the Hotel Alminar the best. The staff were courteous and helpful. Gave us great information on a tapas bar that we would never have known about. The food was wonderful and prices good. Well priced, well positioned, in fact it was excellent in every way.

Nothing actually, our stay was great!. No, although the space for breakfast could have been greater. extra woolen blankets for the cold seson would be perfect. The breakfast - it might have been ok, but for the milk for our cereal, which was definitely not cow's milk!. Breakfast was not inspired, better to get a recommendation for lunch and dinner from the hotel and get breakfast on your own.Finding the car park wasn't easy because a lot of the streets are oneway which is not indicated on the map we had. Some noise in early hours from street but nothing serious.no internet, no parking , no breakfast. rather on the expensive side for what it offered. Rooms were quite echoey, so aware of noise. We had a nice room on the roof but it was spoiled by the noise of the lareg air-conditioning equipement outside. Only one mirror in hotel room which was the mirror over bathroom sink. The room was neat but very small.poor breakfast. Building across the street tended to get a little loud.More attention to cleanliness needed -superficially ok but corners of bathroom unple4asant.

Hotel information details
Alminar is set in one of Seville´s most classical buildings: the one that for more than half a century belonged to Foronda, the leading company in Spain for hand-made bright silk shawls and Flamenco dresses.
The building has been restored to be adapted to the particular necessities of a small hotel of only 12 rooms in which attention to detail is a priority in order to offer the guests a cozy space in the very heart of Seville, just 50 metres from the Cathedral and its minaret ( or alminar ), the Giralda, true symbol of the capital of Andalucía.
Information about the area
Hotel Alminar has a most central position. Only 30 metres far you find the famous Casa Robles, maybe the best known restaurant in Seville. Around, some of the best restaurants and Tapas Bars in the city.
The Santa Cruz district ( old Jewish Quarter ) lies only 5 minutes walk from the hotel and offers the true flavour of the old Seville with its narrow and winding streets, its gardens, patios and squares with orange-trees. There the visitor can approach the Flamenco dancing and singing at Los Gallos, Plaza de Sta. Cruz, 27. Also interesting are La Carbonería and El Tamboril with live music on week-ends.
For those who love relaxation in an exceptional setting, the Arab Baths ( Aire de Sevilla ) offer their services only 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
Also nearby, the Arenal district, gives the visitor a different scope of the city with its streets facing the River Guadalquivir and its world-famous Bullring, La Plaza de Toros de La Real Maestranza de Caballerías de Sevilla. Another good Flamenco show at El Arenal, Calle Rodo, 7.
The shopping is also easy from the hotel. Both the traditional shops of the historical centre or Calle Sierpes and the newly developed commercial streets like Tetuán or O´Donnell where Zara, Mango, H&M and the type are placed.
Room information details
The bedrooms are spacious and are fully equipped. Even though the position of the hotel is very central, the street where is located is a quiet one so your peaceful rest is more than guaranteed.
Travelling information
The address is calle Álvarez Quintero, 52, very near the Cathedral, as explained above, so you need to follow directions to the city centre ( Centro -Ciudad- ).
The most recommendable thing is to get to Alminar by taxi as the hotel is in a pedestrian street of the city centre. There are taxis at the Airport which charge approximately 24 euros for the trip to the centre and also at the Main Train Station of Santa Justa ( around 5 euros ).
There is also a bus transfer from the Airport to the city centre ( 2,50 euros ) which leaves the clients at Puerta de Jerez, just 8 minutes walk from the hotel. This one picks up clients from the train station, as well.
If you arrive by car, the best option is leaving your car either at the Plaza Nueva Public Parking ( 5 minutes walk from the hotel but, generally, busier ) or at the Puerta de Jerez - Avenida de Roma Public Parking ( 8 minutes from the hotel, generally easier to get a space ).
