“The location”

8.4Verified guest

“The staff at Hostal San Francisco was welcoming and nice. Our room was equipped with central heating, an iron and ironing board, and an electronic key card. The modern design and quiet atmosphere made our stay comfortable. The location was excellent, within a 10-15 minute walk from Parking, the railway station, the bus terminal, the city center, and the train station.”

8.4Verified guest

“Our trip was pleasant and we would come here again. It was a lavish and absolutely great hotel set in a charming area, just next door to a 10-minute walk to the cathedral. We were in Seville for a long weekend with 4 other girls from London. We greatly enjoyed the air conditioning, an iron and an electronic key card in the room. The room overlooked the street. The location was magnificent and unbeatable, around 10-15 minutes walk from Barrio Santa Cruz.”
