Hotel Silken Al-Andalus - Seville

Don't go it: bathroom and towels was not very clean; too far away from the city center,

The room was very small and doesn't have windows so the room was very poor of light. The location is out of center so if you haven't got a car is not useful to visit the city center. The garden with the swimming pool is ok but I wanted to do some gym but the machines were just 3 and only cardio machine. Very poor the installation of the fitness center.

The hotel need to be restaured. Especially the rooms and the pool that are very dirty and old.

Went stayed in the hotel with my partner for a pass by. The hotel is a standard 4 star hotel, with most facilities, it is categories as health hotel, however, the gym only has a run mill. The location is far from the centre of Seville. Taxi is around £7-£10 to the centre, for short stay, I wouldn't recommend the hotel at all, but for family holidays or weddings and events this could be a good choice.

It was the 1st time my husband & I had stayed at this hotel, it will not be the last. There was one very small problem in that the shower head would not stay up, other than that everything was excellent from staff to accommodation and meals in the restaurant.

Hotel is almost perfect but a little bit far from city center

The hotel is very large with huge public spaces. Our room (2nd floor) was very nice, in an excellent condition, but not very large, as you would expect from such a hotel. Breakfast was exceptional, in choice, quantity and quality! Service was very good. We were helped very much by a young receptionist, Rocio, who assisted with our airline check in, and we are thankful for her patience and attention! We traveled with a car and there was no need to pay for hotel parking since there always were free parking spaces nearby. Overall, a very positive experience.

Bit far from the center by walk but with the bus 34 it is very easy

It's a nice hotel, but far from downtown. ( taxi costs $6-12 ) Room has a good size, with comfortable beds and pillows. Breakfast is amazing! If you have a car, dont need to use the parking of hotel. It's easy to find a place to stop the car in the street.

It a very nice hotel, the location is not central in the city. Since I was going for work that was not relevant. Nice rooms, tv, bathroom, breakfast. Although they have free wifi, this one is as slow as a modem connection in 1994.

Big and modern hotel . Spacious rooms well furnished. Excellent breakfast buffet . The customer stays the center of the staff's attention .Good location well desserved by bus ( 15 min to the center- 1.20 €) or taxis ( 5 €).

Nice hotel but showing some signs of wear and tear. Staff very helpful and friendly. Quite a distance from the centre of Seville but as a number 34 bus stops near the hotel not too much of a problem (fare 1.20 Euros).

Hotel modern, clean and quite. Location not too far from downtown and with free parking possibility nearby. Free internet connection available from front desk. Very very good price/quality ratio.

The hotel is beautiful and very professionally run, it has good facilities and is set in lovely grounds a short taxi ride from Seville. The only let down for us was the lack of choice with restaurants, and the fact that Spain ignore the no smoking inside laws, so it can get a bit cloudy in the bars.

The best/biggest buffet ever met! and some days of the week it is even cheaper... The hotel is rather far from town center but easily accessible with bus 38 (if you stay a few days buy a "tarjeta multiviaje" in tobacco shops for a 10 trips card, usable by 2 people)

I was displeased at how far this hotel is from downtown. All of the reviews said it was a 10 min walk....this is a 45-60 min walk to get to the center of town.

The hotel is very comfortable, modern and well maintained. We got a special price so it was excellent value. It is not well located for tourism, seemly more designed for the convention business. The pool hours are silly - Sevilla is very hot in sumer but the pool does not open until late (maybe 10?) and closes early (maybe 9?). The result is that you can only use the pool when it is baking hot. We did not use it one - very disappointing since it is one of the important attractions.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. The pool is amazing and other facilities were excellent also. We got a very good deal and had a room overlooking the gardens with a lovely balcony.

Big hotel outside of city center, good park around. Wi-fi is not working well. The hotel is good for big groups and conferences.

We'd like to thank the lady who said in her review that she'd been to this hotel 5 years running. Now we can see why. It's a lovely hotel. with great facilities and helpful staff - but without that dreadful "poshness' that afflicts so many otherwise lovely hotels. This hotel is a five minute taxi ride from the city centre. Seville is a fabulous city and I don't think being in the old city centre would be a hardship. But because this hotel is on the outskirts of town, everything (including your room) is much more spacious. It's well worth going for a balcony room. Not because of the balcony (which is OK, but nothing special) but because you get free access to the "Club Room" with free coffee, snacks and fresh-pressed orange juice all day (and most of the night). Outside the gardens are fine and the pool is really big. The garden is beside a fairly busy road, but well set back and screened by trees - so not really a problem. Perhaps the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at.

This was our first trip to Seville and we loved the hotel! We stayed at the Silken Concordia in Barcelona as well, but preferred this one. The pool is marvelous in the heat and the rooms are spacious, cool, & clean.

En internet ponía que tenía zonas de pubs y fiesta, restaurantes y cuando llegamos todo era muy aburrido, los restaurantes estaban cerrandos. Y como celebraban bodas en el resturante que había ni siquiera se podía comer. Realmente bien para estar solo estaba la piscina y la barra que hay al lado. Además los precios de las bebidas son desorbitados.

Chambre un peu étroite, et une vue pauvre sur les toits, prix intéressant compte tenu du type d'hotel assez luxueux. Piscine et jardins très grands, superbes. Repas offerts aux différents restaurants sont à mon avis ordinaires et ne reflètent l'image de qualité que veut projeter l'hotel.

This is a very good hotel for easy access to airport and intercity routes. Plenty of parking outside the hotel and a residential area away from the hubbub of the city. For those interested having the main attractions within walking distance, it is a bit far. All in all, a nice place to stay.

The Silken Al Andalus presented superior quality acccommodation for the two night stay of my wife and myself. The room was spacious and comfortable and the bathroom was also quite large. The hotel had several restaurants and we had an enjoyable dinner in their Italian restaurant. The cafe also provided excellent coffee and midday snacks. The buffet breakfastswere also quite good. The reception staff were a little impersonal but most efficient. The concierge staff were friendly and most helpful in booking an evening at a flamenco restaurant for us. The only downside was that the hotel was a little remote from the centre of town. Too far to walk, but only a short cab ride away. Overall, a hotel of quality were we enjoyed our stay which was all to brief.

WE Liked the hotel very much,is nice ,clean ,have a nice swimming-pool and is in a quiet place of the city not too far from the center. The breakfast was good and with a lot of things to chose,but the dinner in the bar was expensive and bad.

5th visit still as fantastic as the 1st this time travelled with 2 children under 14 and they were well looked after. Cannot recommend this hotel enough for facilities, the grounds are extremly well kept and the pool is just the place to relax after a morning's sighseeing.Just a short journey to the centre for all the sights and fantastic tapa's bars. Go to Seville for a long weekend you will not be disappointed.

Ottima struttura, bellissima , nuova, e impeccabile in tutto, nulla da criticare .

Si nous avions pu passer notre semaine entière de vacances dans cet hôtel nous l'aurions fait : des chambre exteremement propre et grande, un service et un accueil jeune, sympathique et dynamique, une piscine trés agréable, 3 restaurant dans l'hotel , bref : nous le recommendons pour un séjour à Séville ! En plus il est trés bien desservi par un bus qui le relie au coeur historique de séville ! Nous avons adoré !

Reception was friendly and they spoke English well. Stored our luggage on day we left so that we could sightsee after we checked out. Bus stop not too far from hotel. Ride to historic area took 20 minutes and it was a 10 minute walk to Cathedral and Alcazar. We were able to park our car on the street near hotel and didn't have to pay for parking.

Beautiful hotel and very comfortable rooms.

Lo scopo del soggiorno a Siviglia era la Settimana Santa, purtroppo l'hotel è un pò distante da centro,

A place to go back.

Stayed for two nights in this huge hotel near Real Betis stadium. Easy to find when travelling by car. A good walk to the city centre, Taxi is around 7 Euro. Very good breakfast buffet. Points down for cleanliness (dirty towel on first night and a dead cockroach in the bathroom)

I found the Hotel excellent, though it would have helped had mention been made of the excellent bus service(No 34) every 10 mins into Seville no need to use car!!! I asked for a non-smoking room but quite clearly a smoker had used it before us, apart from that everything was 1St class.

Should have more restrictions on smoking, bar prices too high.

Both my wife and I enjoyed very much staying at this hotel.Particularly, the location of the hotel is wonderful, considering both being inside of the beautiful park of the 1929 hispano-american exposition and being quite close to the heart of Sevilla and its nice monuments.

We stayed in both a normal double, and one night in an executive double. At the rates available here it is a bargain, but their "rack" rate is much higher. Walkable to Seville center, but there is a bus service just around the corner which is clean quick and cheap, should you prefer not to. Note as well that the pool closes the second week of September. Not sure when it reopens in the Spring.

The hotel facilities are modern and clean. The swimming pool and garden are great. The hotel is not close to the city center but there is a bus stop nearby.

Albergo molto bello peccato che sia abbastanza distante dal centro

Overall, this hotel was great for our needs. We basically used this hotel as a stop-over two times while in Spain. Although the hotel is a little far from the city centre, we had a car so it was not a problem. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, since this is a very large hotel, there are a number of restaurants to choose from and this made it easier for us.

Das Hotel macht von aussen den Eindruck einer stillgelegten Fabrikhalle, wenn man jedoch hinein geht, hat es den Flair eines sauberen 4 Sterne Hotels, dass diesen Eindruck Lügen straft. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Das Personal war hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Das Hotel ist mit dem Flughafenbus bis Busbahnhof und von dort weiter mit dem Bus Nr. 34 bequem zu erreichen.

Tres joli hotel, tres luxueux. Tres belle chambre, bon rapport qualite / prix. L'adresse indique que l'hotel est situé sur une artere principale alors que l'hotel est situé sur une petite rue adjancente ...

Excellent value for money and the best breakfast ever! Staff helpful and friendly. Have already recommended it to friends. Even though there was a big football match right next door, we encountered no noise or disruption!

This was our first trip to Sevilla and we arrived on Good Friday and stayed through Easter Sunday.The city was very busy with holiday visitors. We felt fortunate to have booked reservations at this hotel for a 3-day minimum stay. Directions to the hotel for arrival by car from Granada were excellent. One of the bellmen/concierge staff went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us return the rental car. Taxi service was excellent to the downtown area, though the bus services may have been equally good.

We stayed in this lovely hotel on a bed and breakfast basis because we intended to sample the cuisine in tapas bars and restaurants in the evening. The breakfast was one of the best ever - beautiful selection of fresh fruit, cereals, perfect eggs and a variety of breads. Wish we had had our evening meal here because compared to the hotel, food in town was a disappointment. We walked into town but would reccommend getting a bus or taxi. Taxi was a bit steep coming back (14euros) Later the piano player soothed us as we put up our feet and sipped drinks in the lounge.

We were disappointed about the small room in the first floor. Employees were not helpfull and not friendly.

Es un gran hotel,de facil acceso,perfecto respecto a servicios y calidades, La relacion calidad-precio ha sido muy buena. Los servicios ofrecidos son perfectos y el trato del personal exquisito. Sin duda,si he de elegir de nuevo un hotel en Sevilla,elegiria el al-andalus. Recomiendo el restaurante italiano que tienen (italica),muy buena cocina y buen precio.

The hotel is or rather was very nice,although it does need to be brought upto date,this is the only complaint the rest quite pleasent

This hotel was slightly further out of the city center than the one we used for our first stay in Seville but the savings in price justified this decision and were spent on enjoying tapas, sangria and a taxi back after.

Ideal location if travelling to Seville by car (especially from the Costa del Sol). Easy access into central Seville, around 5 euro by taxi or 1 euro each by bus. Would have been good to have breakfast included in the price, but at 60 euro per room per night for this quality hotel, who's complaining? Nice gardens, pool area and bar for relaxing when exhausted by the sightseeing. I believe this is only open in high season.

The price of the meals in the different restaurants of the hotel are very expensive

El hotel está bastante bien ubicado (aprx. 1 km de las zonas de visitas), aunque por comodidad siempre tomarás un taxi o tu propio coche. Tiene dos alas diferentes una de 1992(Al-Andalus) y otra de 2002 (Ala Palace). Las habitaciones son iguales en ambas alas a excepción de la edad, por lo que verás que las del área palace tienen colchón de latex, televisores nuevos.. y símplemente está mucho más nuevo. El único inconveniente de éste ala es el ruido si te dan una habitación que de al balcón del gigantesco lobby, ya que al ser enorme y de cristal cualquier ruido, como el de el piano bar, cualquier persona que descanse en los sofás ( o el cachondeo de una boda en el fin de semana, como viví yo) no te dejarán descansar adecuadamente por el eco que se genera. Por eso si te dan ese area, es mejor que especifiques que tu habitación no de al lobby. El buffet es muy bueno, variado, fresco y bastante bien presentado, aunque quizás cada uno debe evaluar si merecen los 12€+iva p.p que cuesta (más que en paradores), aunque siempre será más comodo desayunar al levantarte, además de la agradable sensación de hacerlo en el patio. Por lo demás es perfecto, hay dos recepciones y por lo tanto el check in y check out es rapidísimo. Las plazas de parking son 9€+iva al día, y no hay problema para aparcar fuera, siempre que no sean fechas especiales, como feria, semana santa o que haya partido en el estadio Ruiz de Lopera (justo al lado). En general muy bien, auque personalmente creo que la próxima vez me gustaría probar el encanto de alojarme en el puro centro, y sentir menos todos esos servicios lujosos que te ofrece un gran hotel de ciudad.

Good value for money.We stayed at the Silken Al Andalus from 1st March 06 - 3rd March 06 and found it to be a very nice hotel. We paid for room only and had breakfast as an added extra on the first morning, however at 12.50 euros each, I would recommend you try somewhere else in the city for better value for money / selection. Good selection of bars at the hotel and a nice outdoor pool (although it was too cold to swim in given the time of year)Would recommend this hotel and although not in the very centre of Seville, very accessible as there are always taxis outside and it costs only approx 5 euros each way. Seville itself is very nice with lots of places of interest, we went mid week so it was pretty quiet although you could see the place starting to come alive on the Friday afternoon.An enjoyable stay - would go back again!

The hotel was not too near the centre, but only a short taxi journey away and there were always taxis available. The hotel was clean and well presented. The rooms were very nice, however staff could ave been more accomodating with the rooms they offered us and were not very friendly about allowing us to move rooms when requested.

Really loved the hotel and the room- wonderful.

For the price paid relative to other hotels in the city centre itself it was a bargain and was always around 6 Euros in taxis to town. We would strongly recommend the hotel at these prices, and there is a car park which is not common in the city.

Very clean, spacious and good value. You need to take a taxi ride into town - always available at a rank outside the hotel and costs about EUR6.

Un hotel excelente. De fácil acceso a la zona turística y comercial de sevilla

A truly excellent hotel Great value for money. Only problem it was a little difficult to find for a stranger to the city

Very good hotel with good busservice to the city available nearby. Nice and large swimmingpool, excellent breakfast

An ideal location for Seville City. Easy access into the old quarter on local bus or by taxi, even walkable if the weather is not too hot. Most comfortable with good choice of restaurants at very reasonable prices. Excellent pool and lawned areas. Only one complaint - tolerance of smoking in supposedly 'non-smoking' restaurants - it drives me mad!

Hotel molto bello, ottimo il rapporto qualità/prezzo, almeno nel mese di agosto. Comoda anche la posizione, con un pullman si raggiunge velocemente il centro della città, oppure con il taxi per circa € 5,00 a corsa, attenzione però alle "fregature" possibili dei tassisti, ci hanno chiesto anche il doppio.

There is a thing I would like to state here: the price presented is not including VAT neither breakfast. Spain (as far I know) is the unique country in Europe that does not include breakfast in the price. Ok, I considered the price low and more 7% of VAT is not too much but I do not like this kind of surprises. Another thing: I consider the hotel very well located but only for car holders... otherwise, it seems to be far way to go by walk to the center. Cheers!

The only problem we've had was that you have to use the hotel's garage because there were glasses from cars in surroundings of the hotel.

This has been the first time I used your site for booking a hotel outside of France, and I've been quite happy with the service you offer. I do recommend your site to my friends and will use it for next summer holidays

The breakfast was very poor. Plates not clean.

Original room allocated was facing internal patio on ground floor. had little natural light, and curtains would have to remain closed if you did not want to be observed from the patio. Was finally allocated an outside ground floor room very spacious with a balcony and separate seating area. When we complained about the bath water not flowing away quickly it took two days to fix. TV only had one workable English-language channel. Sound-proofing rather poor.

Pls indicate the long distance from the centre and luck of public transportation

We were really pleased with the quality of this hotel considering the price we paid. The rooms were excellent.

Price/quality excellent because of low season ! because of season and bad weather : public areas (restaurants) too cold!
