La Hostería de Doña Lina

The Hostería de Doña Lina is situated on the Plaza de Doña Elvira, near the Alcázar and Hospital de los Venerables. Set in a 19th-century mansion, this sweet two-star property offers nine basic rooms perched above an in-house restaurant.

In the guestrooms, yellow walls and tiled floors add a warm contrast to royal blue bedspreads, but décor is otherwise bare-bones. All rooms are outfitted with air conditioning, a TV, minibar and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the narrow walkways of Seville's Jewish Quarter. Interior rooms look into the hotel’s elegant dining room.

All bathrooms are done in a palette of dark blue and salmon, with large white sinks and boxy showers.

The Doña Lina’s restaurant serves traditional (if pricey) fare in a lovely Andalusian atmosphere, replete with tiled walls and ceramic wall hangings. Outside, the café provides a prime spot for people watching on a cobblestoned square under the aromatic orange trees.

Breakfast is available for an additional fee from September through May only, and can be served in the restaurant, café or guestrooms.
