Nestled inside the high walls of the old Jewish quarter, this appealing two-star hotel sits in the heart of the quiet Santa Cruz neighborhood. However, the first thing we noticed wasn't the hotel but rather an Arabic museum in front, which shares the same entrance. It gets even better: at night, the museum converts to a Flamenco tablao with nightly shows. Olé!
The hotel was a convent until three years ago when it was converted into a modern hotel. That surprised us; the stairway and hallways felt industrially soulless.
The 21 rooms are prudishly decorated, with tightly tucked-in white hospital-like sheets and candy-striper bed skirts. There's even a gel and shampoo dispenser in the bathroom. However, we did find warmth in the parquet floors, matching green furniture, and natural sponges in the bathroom—not to mention the staff's pleasant disposition.
There are travel guides in the bookshelf downstairs and a sunny patio to sip morning coffee.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Alcántara 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.
