    Amazing place to stay in the heart of Seville. The service upon entering and leaving was top notch. They sent us a beautiful welcome arrangement of fruit and treats for our toddler. The room was stylish and comfortable. We ate breakfast at the restaurant every day it was beautiful and delicious. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, we did not want to leave. Definitely recommend staying here!!!

    I looooooove this hotel. Excellent breakfast. Excellent views. The pool is an infiniti pool. Extremely convenient location close to everything. The hallways have paintings on each door (who needs to go to a museum when the hotel itself has the museum/painting vibes?). Customer service was on point. Wold definitely stay here again!

    Jacuzzi terrace nail that my wife stepped on.

    At the outset, the level of service at the hotel is excellent and very impressive. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Seville (notwithstanding the hotel's general manager described below), but the safety hazard on the jacuzzi terraces must be conveyed to travelers and was not properly addressed during our stay, and that is the reason for the poor rating. My wife and I were on our honeymoon and extended our stay in Seville since we loved it so much. Our previous hotel did not have a room available for the extra two nights so we booked the Penthouse Suite with jacuzzi terrace at the Gran Melia Colon. Upon arrival we were offered champagne and other refreshments at check-in and given a tour of the hotel by their very attentive staff. After settling in we enjoyed the private jacuzzi for about an hour - as we stepped out of the jacuzzi, my wife stepped on an exposed nail on the wooden floor boards of the terrace. The nail punctured her big toe and she screamed out in pain (photos uploaded). I immediately called the front desk, and the guest relations manager promptly arrived to the room and the hotel doctor arrived shortly thereafter. Upon closer inspection of the terrace, there were no less than 10 nails exposed that could cause serious injury. The guest relations manager had the maintenance staff hammer down the nails as the doctor tended to my wife. I asked about a tetanus injection, as the nails were rather rusted (see photo), but he said it would be unnecessary. The doctor prescribed a topical antibiotic spray and told my wife to stay off of her foot for at least 12 to 24 hours. As many of you know, no city in Spain can be enjoyed without being able to explore it on foot. As my wife rested in bed for the rest of the night the hotel asked us what they could do about the situation - my wife and I told them that they should propose something to us rather than the other way around. Shortly thereafter, the guest relations manager kindly offered one out of two nights free of charge. We were not satisfied with this and requested that both nights be given free of charge. We are not tourists trying to skirt the bill -- remember, this was not as if we had a bad meal, or the room was not tidy - the hotel's negligence and reckless disregard for guest safety injured my wife and we lost 18-hours of our trip to that negligence. Moreover, we were on our HONEYMOON. The next day the guest relations manager said he had spoken with the general manager of the hotel, Margarita Gonzales, and she concluded that one out of two nights was "fair." After being disappointed with the news, I myself went back into the Jacuzzi as my wife rested and I noticed more exposed nails on the terrace that were not cleared by the maintenance staff. I asked both the guest relations manager and Ms. Gonzales to come to the room to see the nails. Ms. Gonzales noted that my wife's wound was "superficial" and that she would be back on her feet within 12-24 hours. Unfortunately, the only thing superficial was the hotel's inspection of the terrace and the level of service and empathy by Margarita Gonzales. After saying she would get in contact with the hotel insurance to see if she could do anything more than one night, Ms. Gonzales called my wife and stated nothing more could be done. Her tone and attitude was not in line with the high level of service we experienced with everyone else at the hotel. We asked if she could at least cover the laundry we gave to the hotel in-lieu of our two-night request - she said she was unable to do so. Unable? Unlikely. Unwilling? Yes. During our stay I contacted the U.S. Consulate in Seville and they suggested filing a police report and reviewing the hotel, we decided against a police report but felt that we must tell others of the safety issue at this hotel. To conclude, any person thinking of staying at this hotel, PLEASE be careful on the terraces as you may find yourself seriously injured by exposed nails. The entire hotel staff was gracious and very kind to us, but Ms. Gonzales seemed to be the outlier. We both feel that she is holding this hotel back from being truly great, other high-level management should seriously reconsider her position at the hotel as this review would not have been written but-for her embarrassingly low level of service.

    The doors have paintings of famous Spanish people on them...wow

    This was my first time in Seville, Spain and I am extremely satisfied with the hotel I chose. The staff were all amazing! Our room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel itself is beautiful! It's located near many shops and restaurants, which was my favorite part. I went with my boyfriend and they gave us complimentary champagne and desserts for our anniversary. Overall, my experience was absolutely amazing and I would definitely stay here again!

    This is one of the most unique hotels I have had the pleasure of staying. My husband and I spent…read moreone night in Sevilla in October and he picked the hotel because he had visited the city previously. Once we arrived in Sevilla, it was pretty easy to find. We dropped off our rental at the airport and hopped on the bus that took you into the city. We got off at the San Sebastian stop and walked with our suitcases a few blocks up to the hotel. I also liked that it was walking distance from many of the sights we wanted to check out. We were able to walk to a Flamenco show, the Real Alcazar and the Cathedral. We also took some scooters to Plaza España. The hotel itself was more so a blocks of rooms in a neighborhood square connected with a labyrinth of courtyards and gardens. The rooftop was really neat, too. There are different levels where you can lay out in the sun near people or more privately. There is a pool that looked neat but we didn't have enough time to get in before our show. The hotel itself is clearly very old (by American standards at least) but well preserved and beautiful. The hotel piano bar in the second floor is a must see, too. Don't miss it! The rooms were surprisingly modern. The bathroom was very spacious. The bed was a little firmer than I would have liked but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. I would definitely stay at this hotel again!

I was grateful for the valet parking, not so much by the €25 a day charge. The building itself seems to be a collection of buildings spread around a number of internal and external courtyards. Our room was accessible via a long and twisty underground tunnel that stretched for at least 300m passing the spa, various bric a brac bits and pieces, statues, fountains, peculiar display areas that may, or may not, have been shops or small boutiques. I've no idea. It's almost impossible to describe how bizarre and yet how charming it all was. After a while, though, I have to confess it became a bit of a schlepp. Our room was small but the bed was extremely comfortable with a queen size bed and a decent sized, well provisioned, en-suite bathroom. A piano bar on the first floor was both elegant and comfortable and we repaired there each evening after dinner in one of the fabulous restaurants within walking distance. The hotel also opened out onto a small plaza with plenty of outdoor bar and coffee options throughout the day and into the night. A couple of minutes away was the Cathedral and Alcazar as were numerous shops, bars, restaurants and ice cream parlours (a must). I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel for a stay in Seville but leave the car at home,

It was very convenient to take in the sights of the Espana Plaza. Other sites and restaurants are anywhere from a one to fifteen minutes walk away depending on what your interests are. The breakfast in the hotel is awesome as there are many options to choose from hot/cold options, various breads/pastries and various fruits/vegetables. The only disappointment we experienced at the Melia Sevilla Hotel was in the onsite restaurant, Quimera for dinner. Although the food is very good, their spontaneous appetizer option was offered in a forced payment manner. The first visit for dinner we were served croquettes by a waiter as a complimentary appetizer and we said we ordered croquettes, he stated these are complimentary. However, on the bill there was a $7.50 charge for 3 small croquettes that we did not request as we had placed an order of croquettes as part of our dinner option in which we received six in the dinner order. Ok, you thought we would have learned our lesson and we did. On our second visit for dinner, another friend joined us who accepted a piece of bread, but the three of us from the previous visit stated we didn't want bread as we ordered dinner options that included bread "chicken and waffles"...which are by the way very good. Again when the bill came, we were charged $10.00 as if each person received bread although only one person accepted "a" piece of bread from the waiter. We could understand if they placed a bread basket on the table with enough bread for each person to charge each person for bread "provided." But NO, they have a RIDICULOUS policy that if one person receives one piece of bread from the waiter, they charge the entire party for a piece of bread. We are so grateful that our fourth guest refused the "FORCED APPETIZER" due to the waiter literally plopping the appetizer onto the table without us asking for it and describing it as spicy which our guest does not like. Therefore, the waiter retrieved the appetizer from the table and no additional fee was charged this time as the rest of the party also refused the "FORCED APPETIZERS." Unfortunately, on our last evening in town, we declined to dine in the Quimera restaurant onsite which based on the lateness of the day would have been convenient and we dined elsewhere in the city.
