EuroCheapo review print this page

Once upon a time there was a hotel named Hostería del Laurel. A Spanish romantic writer, Don José de Zorilla, decided to stay there a few nights during the early 19th century, and, inspired by the old inn, invented his most famous character in Spanish literature, Don Juan Tenorio.

For more than 100 years, this "hostería" has enchanted tourists with the same legend. It's one of the most famous hotels in Seville and worth the higher price for the Andalusian romance and unique experience you'll acquire after just one night. Besides tourists, traditional "La Tuna" university students often stay here. Cloaked in black capes, they serenade the streets until dawn to raise funds for school, just as they've done for centuries. It doesn't get any more Spanish than that.

The best room of the hostería's 20 is a quadruple, No. 102. Hostería del Laurel's recent renovations include soundproofed windows, new bathrooms, and modern furniture.

We consider the restaurant downstairs the best amenity in this hotel. It's a must-eat for any tourist in town. Hanging Iberian hams decorate this typical, moderately-priced Spanish tavern, where gregarious waiters serve with gusto. The hotel and restaurant are tucked into a small plaza in Santa Cruz, which is filled with terraza tables during the warm months. The hostería's breakfast is abundant.

About the Hostería del Laurel neighborhood

Santa Cruz is the Seville of your deepest Andalusian fantasies, with its warrens of tiny streets and alleys, stunningly beautiful small plazas, and a reservoir of atmospheric touches so gorgeous as to seem dreamlike. In the summer, homeowners compete with one another to see who can create the most beautiful flowerboxes. On the other hand, Santa Cruz is tourist central. You'll have company while you're getting lost and noshing on delicious—though expensive—tapas.
