Hotel Doña María Photos

Excellent location and great view on the cathedral and adjacent streets

The hotel is decorated in an old-fashioned style, as if going back to the era of the two Spanish kings. The hotel is full of classical style and unique charm. Excellent location. Right next to the cathedral. You can see the cathedral from the room window. There are lively places all around. Most attractions are within walking distance. The room was nice. Big enough. Breakfast was good too.

Extremely narrow access, no parking without direct booking. Unfriendly staff, cheap room furnishings, a strong sewage smell, and poor soundproofing. The value for money isn't right. Hotel Doña Maria, Seville – Review ★☆☆☆☆ (1 out of 5 stars) I stayed at the Hotel Doña Maria in Seville and unfortunately can't recommend it, especially for guests arriving by car. Even getting there was a huge challenge: The hotel is located in the heart of the historic center, where the streets are extremely narrow and barely passable for modern vehicles. The hotel doesn't offer its own parking unless you book directly through its website. Otherwise, you have to find a parking space on your own, which is about a 10-15 minute walk away – a very arduous start, especially with luggage. The hotel doesn't offer any help or advance information. In addition, when asked about access through the monitored areas of the historic center, contradictory information was given: According to the reception, "the cameras aren't working." Whether this is true or whether a fine will follow later remains to be seen – it's an unacceptable risk. The reception at the reception was unfriendly and unhelpful. The room in no way met the standards of a 4-star hotel: No kettle, only an outdated espresso machine with small cups. Bathroom amenities of a low standard (cheap shampoo, small soap, plastic cups). Constant sewage smell in the bathroom. Extremely noisy – all noises from the neighboring bathroom were clearly audible. A simple mirror on a dresser, not fully equipped. Overall, more like the standard of a simple 3-star hotel. A true 4-star hotel should offer high-quality bathroom amenities, modern and well-maintained room amenities, a soundproof environment, and smooth service (including parking solutions and clear communication). All of this is lacking at the Hotel Doña Maria. Positive: The beds were OK and allowed for a good night's sleep. Conclusion: The Hotel Doña Maria falls far short of the standards of a true 4-star hotel. Those who value service, comfort, and transparent communication should choose other hotels in Seville – especially if arriving by car.

It is very close to the cathedral and the palace, only a few dozen meters away, but it is definitely not suitable for self-driving people. The drive to the hotel is on a small road. The road is narrower than the wheelbase. You can only hear the sound of the tires on both sides of the road scraping against the edge of the sidewalk. There are several 90-degree turns. The downhill entrance of the hotel garage is only 1.79 meters high and narrow, and can only be driven down by hotel staff for parking. When driving an SUV, the car can only be parked in a public parking lot 1 km away. Hotel decoration It's quite delicious. I met the boss and chatted for a long time. I found out that this hotel has a long history.
