The large Hotel Monte Triana breaks from the Sevillian hotel norm, both in sheer size—it has a whopping 116 rooms—and in its location, west of the Guadalquiver River.

A friendly staff, charming young bellhops and mismatched furniture keep the Montecarlo’s décor from the usual homogeneous humdrum.

The three-star Hotel Convento La Gloria, located among the touristy streets surrounding the cathedral, is decorated like a convent with religious paraphernalia.

Artists and musicians often book at the Hotel Amadeus, most likely for its soundproof practice rooms, free-for-all instruments and classical music library.

Yes, the lively Sevilla Inn Backpackers has a youth hostel vibe. It also has a great location (just up the street from the cathedral) and bargain double rooms with fab views.

If you're looking for an eccentric experience with cheap rates and a great location, then the Pension Vergara is it.

The Pension Córdoba is a cross between an Andalusian palace and an American Econo Lodge.

The Alcázar gave us everything we wanted in an accommodation: a beautiful morning in bed with terrace doors swung open and a lovely cross breeze.

We left the Oasis Backpackers' Hostel regretting we couldn't spend more time there, as it's by far the most fun accommodation you'll find for your money.

This pension, with its charming, chirping canaries and sunny atmosphere, has been family-run for nearly 200 years.

B&B Naranjo is the best option in the city for triple, quadruple, and even quintuple hotel rooms with en suite bathrooms and real beds (versus bunks).

The location of the Hostería de Dona Lina is the most important feature, along with the high-end grub downstairs.

Hosteria del Laurel is one of the most famous hotels in Seville and worth the higher price for the Andalusian romance and unique experience.
