4-Star Hotels in Andalusia, Spain

I was embarrassed because I couldn't check in when I arrived, but when I connected the phone, I kindly informed me and stayed comfortably during my stay. The facilities were good and the location was a bit far from the Spanish Square, but it was easy to go to other places.

• Room: Looks fine in photos but in reality, very dated (from the 80s?) - requires some serious modernization and renovation. My original room's aircon was dripping water and had to move to another one... • Common area/ ambience: The reception/ cafe area is like a hostel/dorm, not consistent with the Novotel brand/tier- thought I was in Ibis or something. • Location: Very convenient - next to the shopping centre, close to bus/tram station, about 20-30 min from key attractions in the Archivo de Indias

The hotel is quite large and provides everything you might need. Although it’s located away from the city center, the shuttle service makes reaching the metro very convenient. You can take the shuttle whenever you like. Having a dedicated shuttle for the Feria area was also an incredible convenience; instead of searching for a taxi at 1 AM, we were able to take the hotel shuttle back. Our only issue was the lack of bed linens; otherwise, all the facilities were excellent. We had breakfast at the hotel on our last day, and there was a good variety of options. While most of the reception staff speak English, the shuttle drivers and some of the front desk staff do not.

The room's location is convenient; you can reach major attractions like the main cathedral within a 15-20 minute walk. The facilities meet expectations, offering a kitchenette, laundry room, and luggage storage. Having a bus stop and supermarket right across the street is also very handy. It would be even better if there were both online and in-person check-in options, and if email communications were more prompt. The staff are friendly and provide timely assistance, which is a big plus.

The apartment is in the heart of Seville, just a few meters from the Mushrooms in Plaza de la Encarnación, so the location is excellent. The apartment has absolutely everything: kitchenware, bathroom amenities, a closet outside the bedroom, an ironing board and iron, towels, a duvet, and two pillows per bed. The bedroom has a small balcony overlooking the street and air conditioning. The living room is spacious with a TV and a large, fully soundproofed, and very bright window overlooking Plaza del Cristo Burgos, from where you can see the Mushrooms of the Encarnación. The bathroom was spacious and everything was very clean. The apartment is one of the best I've stayed in in Seville to date. Bright, spacious, and right in front of the parish of San Pedro. And the location? Unbeatable. It's right in the center of Seville, just a few meters from the Encarnación (the mushrooms). Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to stay in these apartments again. A very gratifying weekend. The automated check-in process may be a bit confusing. But there are two highly trained receptionists who will help you with everything.

From the moment you walk into the hotel, it feels as though you've entered the Alhambra itself. The architecture of this Iberostar is truly stunning: Arabic-inspired, colorful, with high-quality materials. The reception area is nothing short of majestic, with marble tiles, flowing fountains, wooden ceilings, and other details that leave a lasting impression. I booked a side sea view room for my parents, and they were given probably the best possible one: located on the 5th floor at the far end of the hotel. The view was far beyond “partial”: they could admire the sea, lush gardens, outdoor pool, and all the hotel terraces all at once. As for me, I made two separate bookings for a three-night stay. Since the same room wasn’t available for all nights, I was upgraded to a superior apartment, an unexpected and much-appreciated gesture. We opted for half-board, and the food was outstanding in both quality and variety. From fresh seafood to superfoods like chia seeds, the buffet offered something for every taste. This hotel truly stands out among the 4* properties we've been to across Europe and the world. The outdoor pool is impressively large, with plenty of sunbeds available. The entire property was immaculately clean, and the green spaces were greatly maintained. Parking was hassle-free, with numerous free spots available both in front and along the sides of the hotel. Another plus: water fountains are placed throughout the hotel, allowing guests to enjoy cold water at any time. Just across the street, you'll find a variety of shops, making it easy to pick up anything you need. Lastly, a mention to the entire hotel staff - from reception to restaurant service - who were consistently professional and kind.

I had a lovely stay at Abba Sevilla and got a room with beautiful city views, which made the experience feel even more special. The location is great once you arrive. It is easy to get around the city, with restaurants and cafés right outside the hotel, and art and culture nearby. One of the highlights was definitely the rooftop. The views over Seville are beautiful, especially at sunset. If you stay here, don’t miss the sunset from the rooftop pool — it is one of the best parts of the experience and such a beautiful spot for photos. The food was also very good, and the overall stay felt comfortable and enjoyable. One thing to note: if you have large luggage, getting to the hotel can be a little tricky because of nearby construction. But once you are checked in, the location is very convenient and easy for exploring. Overall, I would recommend Abba Sevilla for the city views, rooftop pool, sunset atmosphere, good food, and easy access to Seville.

The room is nice and big enough for 2 travellers with 2 luggages. They have self service laundry at the basement. It is free but you need to bring your own laundry detergent. Location wise, it is away from attractions so we used Uber. There are many eateries near the hotel and convenience stores as well.

Conveniently located, just a bridge away from the main city area. There's a parking lot downstairs. The room is spacious, and it offers good value for money. Malaga is a lovely small city, with a beautiful castle and coastline.

The hotel's communication is not prompt or effective. Also, the hotel address was changed to a new address after the hotel confirmed my booking. The distance from the hotel beach changed from 5 to 12 minutes, and the promise of 24-hour reception changed to no reception. The access code was not sent out promptly after checking in, but I only got it from the hotel after Trip contacted the hotel. The flat is newly refurbished with an open kitchen. The bathroom has only one towel for each person for a 4-day stay. The extra towel costs you €10. The water pressure is strong and quick hot water. The kitchen has everything you need, but the tableware is not visible. There is a kettle but no coffee maker. The living room and bedroom have windows, but we are at the same level as the people on the street. We don't feel private and comfortable opening the window or even with the shade curtain closed with the window opened. The washing and drying machine is shared with other travellers on the rooftop. The cleaning function is good, but the drying doesn't function well. The hanger was only found on the last day after the cleaner showed it to me. The hotel should say it on the first day when I asked them, rather than asking me to give them a call while I was only on a data sim and could not make a call. The washing balls are provided. Beach umbrellas are also stored in a the lobby that is not visible to us until the day we checked out. I would say it has everything, but the communication skills of the hotel have room to improve.
