A special thanks goes to the Hotel Zurbarán night clerk, Juan—a talented poet and a dedicated father.
This hotel is part of a family-owned chain of five, two-star hotels, all named after famous Spanish artists such as Dalí, Picasso, Van Gogh, and Leonardo da Vinci. Out of all of them, we liked this one best because of its large rooms, wood-beamed ceiling, full-size sofa, and slick new showers, all part of a recent re-do. Spanish leather key chains put the mint on the pillow.
The interior patio showcases Sevillano Andalusian artistry. There are nine bedrooms, three triples and six doubles, but no elevator, so expect to huff it one story. Free coffee makes for a nice treat, but mind, breakfast is not included. There's a café across the street, where guests eat morning tostada in the a.m. with the local yokel Sevillanos.
The location, about 100 meters from the Cathedral, can't be more ideal. Located in Barrio Santa Cruz, this hostal is on one of the quietest, narrowest streets; close to the action yet protected by fortress walls. Request a remote control for the TV from reception if you're like us and forgot how to change the channel like back in the old days.
