I've been using the station for several years. It is insane that the schedule displays at the bus…read morelevel have been dysfunctional for at least the last two years. If you don't check the schedule and bus platform on your way through the main station then you will probably have to go back up again to learn where to find your bus. On the bus level smoking is rampant and the no fumar signs are never enforced. Today every bench had a smoker. There is so little consideration for the passengers, in spite of the long term renovations still in progress. Why not fix the broken electronic schedule boards at the bus level before replacing, at great expense, the unbroken seating at the main level?

We booked our trip from Seville to Granada a few days before we needed to leave. There were tons of…read morebuses available and it was roughly 25€ each for a one way trip ($62 usd via credit card). The bus station was large and easy to find. The bathrooms were atrocious but what can you expect? Our bus was 10 min late and then we were off! The seats were comfy and reclined. We got to Grenada right on time and had a pleasant trip. Since we had 0 issues I would recommend Alsa for the trip we took :).

We stayed in a very comfortable 1 bedroom apartment on c/ San Luis owned by Sevilla 5. The…read moreapartment was *exactly* as represented online - always a huge plus - and was very spacious. The large living room included a coffee table and large sofa, a small dining table with four chairs, ample storage (a huge closet), a television (admittedly, we never watched it so I'm not sure what the selection was like), and two french doors that opened onto the street. The well-sized kitchen came stocked with plates, bowls, silverware, basic pots and pans, and included a reliable dishwasher and washing machine (one hangs one's clothes on the roof to dry). The bedroom was cozy and the plus was that it faced an interior courtyard and so was very quiet. The apartment also came with reliable wifi, and a/c and heating (though you pay for the electricity when you leave at the rate of .20Euros per kilowatt used). The location was also absolutely fantastic; since we were staying nearly three months in Sevilla, we wanted to be a bit removed from Barrio Santa Cruz, and to live someplace more neighborhoody. C/San Luis was ideal - a few minutes walk to the Alameda de Hercules, hundreds of restaurants within a ten minute walk (including the fantastic Contenedor right down the street), easy to get to Santa Justa train station for trips, a taxi stand at the top of the street, and an easy walk to all of Sevilla's main cultural sights. As for the company itself: a Sevilla 5 employee met us exactly when he said he would on the day we arrived in Sevilla, and he showed us around the apartment and left us with a key. We were a bit jet lagged so couldn't really soak in all the information and it was only after he left that I realized I had forgotten to ask a few questions (like, where do we throw away our trash?) He was always very accessible by email and phone, though I thought a basic informational document in the apartment might be useful. Similarly, the closet in the living room had lots of great stuff - a warm blanket for cooler nights, extra towels, a fan, a comforter - but not always in the most easily accessible way. A comprehensive list might make it easier for future guests to know what's around. The only other inconvenience is that you have to pay in cash (Euros) for your full stay in the apartment upon arrival. In short: we really enjoyed the apartment; it was very comfortable for three months, the price was very reasonable (much cheaper than our much smaller 1BR in Washington DC), and the location couldn't be beat. We were a bit nervous about renting with Sevilla5 because we couldn't find that many reviews online and one never knows if the pictures on a website will correspond to reality - but this was EXACTLY as represented, and exceeded our expectations.

Incredible service and wonderful people. We got great recommendations for dinner spots and they…read moremade the reservations for us. Close to the hop on hop off bus stop. Rosita's downstairs served great tapas and cold beer. The room was clean with a nice moorish influence. Only thing missing is a shower curtain, but that is not worth a downgrade.

We had a great time in Seville and loved being in the center of it all. It's a short walk to the…read moreSetas and a longer walk to Plaza de Toros, basilica, etc, but it's still walkable! We even walked from the renfe train station since we did excursions to Granada and Cordoba from Seville (this is a longer 15-20 minute walk). We didn't take the buses although they were very accessible as well as taxis. Staff was friendly. The hotel was a bit dated (especially the comforters) but that added to the old charm of the city of Seville. It was VERY clean which is what's important. Also, it seems like the heat in the rooms is not controllable. When we asked the front desk, they just suggested to open the window a little bit so the heater would shut off? My room facing the front of the building was not very quiet. We were close to the elevators and could hear everyone walking by our room. Our friend had a room on the other side and said it was very quiet. The plus was the terrace on the 4th floor, wow! a nice free place to relax and do some people watching. There's a lot of restaurant and shops nearby and I loved the vendors in the plaza right across from the hotel (not sure if it was just for the holidays). The breakfast was good and at a reasonable price. The coffee and croissants were delish! totally recommended!

Location is excellent, with shopping and restaurants close by. Go across the street to El Cortes…read moreIngles -- there are restaurants on the top floor, and a supermarket in the basement. You can get anywhere in the city center by walking around 10-20 minutes. Reception was friendly, and checkin was simple as they had already assigned us rooms for our arrival. We received a twin bed as requested, and the room was large for Europe. The shower had decent water pressure, but the temperature slightly fluctuated (with sink faucet / toilet running). Sound isolation from the exterior of the hotel is excellent, with two sets of windows, and a metal grate in between. However, the room is stuffy if the windows are closed. When we tried turning on the thermostat, only hot air came out (in Feb) ... so we ended up opening the windows at night and dealing with the noise. Sound isolation from the interior of the hotel is very poor. Walls are extremely thin and I could hear a loud family next door when they returned from dinner and had their faucets running. So my recommendation -- stay here if you can tolerate the noise ... or ask for a really quiet room (best if you have no neighbors next door).
