Hotel Monte Carmelo

A clean, modern hotel, good size room and very friendly and helpful staff. In a fairly quiet neighbourhood, within walking distance from the old centre.

Five out of five stars. The hotel's location is excellent to discover Sevilla - A 20min. walk away to most of the touristic spots. All of the hotel personnel is so friendly and they do everything they can so you don't have to worry about anything. We had an issue with the shower but the technicians came right away and it got fixed in no time. Fantastic and large beds + splendid air conditioning which is in our opinion a must have after spending most of the day in temperatures above 30 degrees. Fast and stable Wi-Fi connection. If you like, you can take breakfast in the hotel (€16pp). You get a wide range of products, all of good quality. Nevertheless, we liked it more to go into the city and discover some breakfast & brunchspots.

Room is modern and has everything you need. Staff is friendly and had a very smooth check-in. However it has bad sound isolation. During the two nights here, i can hear neighbor rooms talking when in high volume and furniture dragging from upstairs/adjacent rooms very often. And it woke me up late at night and early in the morning. Highly suggest the hotel to have a carpet under the chairs in the room to reduce the noise or add some cushion or pads underneath so ppl stay in the lower floor can also have quiet nights.

"Breakfast Police" I’ve stayed in dozens of hotels across Europe, and honestly this was the first time I felt less like a guest and more like someone being monitored. The issue was not a few cookies and small pieces of cake from breakfast. Rules can exist anywhere — that’s not the problem. The problem was how this situation was handled. After I had already taken the items, one employee approached me speaking only in Spanish and explained that taking them out was not allowed. I understood the situation and immediately responded politely that I would be careful from the next day onward and would not do it again. I also specifically said that since I had already taken them, I hoped they would not simply be thrown away. At that point, I thought the situation was solved. But while I was already walking out of the breakfast area, another employee came after me and literally took the cookies and cakes back from my hands. That was the moment this stopped feeling like hospitality and started feeling like some strange display of authority and control. A simple polite warning at the moment I was taking them would have solved everything in seconds. Instead, the hotel chose to create an unnecessarily awkward and humiliating experience over a couple of breakfast snacks. Hotels are remembered not because of their furniture or breakfast buffet, but because of how they treat people. And unfortunately, this experience felt cold, robotic, and unnecessarily hostile.
