Las Casas De La Juderia Hotel Seville

One of the worst hotel experiences ever. After trudging through tunnels and at least three different elevators, behind a dour porter, we're shown to a room with construction noise outside. Now stuck in this maze, only way to find reception is walk througn the streets. For +80 Euros a night we could move closer to reception. We thought $230 a night was already steep for this dump and declined -- about what we paid for wonderful hotels in Madrid, Cordoba, Granada. We did get another room -- two houses closer -- but still went to reception and breakfast via the streets. What if there were a fire? Breakfast rooms below stairs and dingy. Noxious odor in room WC, though apparently from outside. Safe, with passport, tickets and laptop, malfunctioned -- fortunately it was the afternoon before we were leaving. Nothing in the room to indicate how to phone reception. We had to go down and ask for it to be fixed, twice. Two hours later (!), the handyman got it open. All around terrible experience.

We had very poor experience. Rooms on the ground floor level are very dark and dingey. First room, which we had to move from had an all pervading smell of damp. Second room did not smell, but was dark, depressing and in need of a total update. The hotel is extremely unusual and querky - but I felt it was extremely gloomy and depressing. Worst hotel I have stayed in for many years. Front desk staf were reasonably helpful, but there was not any information anywhere to be found on any of the usual things, such as room service or helpful numbers, menus, etc. Absolutely nothing. Bathrooms not replenished unless requested at the front desk - all very unsatisfactory. The only good thing really, is that the location is absolutely fantastic - very close to all the sights etc.

Although thoroughly forewarned by other reviewers, we were still not completely prepared for the oddness of this hotel. We were in the last room in the last building (I think) and had to travel on two outside streets to reach it. The interior courtyards are indeed lovely and a real asset, however our room (not a suite) was quite small. I am a thin person, but my shoulders were touching the opposing walls in parts of the bathroom and shower. In addition, the internet connection in the lobby is very slow, almost prohibitively so. Finally, all of this would have been bearable if the hotel staff had been friendlier or the cost was less, I definitely felt that it was not worth the cost when compared to other upscale lodging, including other places we stayed in Spain.

Very difficult to access by car and this was not flagged-up before we arrived. Bedroom standard not good for a hotel of this price and reputation. Bedside light bulb not functioning, balcony door handle fell-off, television from another century and few channels. Remote worked spasmodically. Cracked bidet bowl, insufficient light in a gloomy room, no hotel information or instructions. However. Location fantastic, atmosphere enchanting, breakfast to die for and a relaxing spa bath. Staff could be friendlier (how about a drink in the reception upon arrival?). Evening guitarist played in a perfect setting and with great artistry. Early morning departure managed with great efficiency with car parked outside with baggage ready for the off. For the price. we expect free parking and more pandering. Receptionist informed us that new owners would be taking over the following week. It showed as the incumbent owners had obviously let standards slip. We felt slightly cheated.

We stayed in two other hotels during our visit to Spain. Las Casa de Juderia was the largest and most impersonal. It was also the least modern, though it did have character. The facilities were charming with the walkways strewn with pots of geraniums and Roman artifacts. The courtyards were welcoming and the piano bar was relaxing. We had one teen sharing a room with us. Although the room was not large, the bathroom area was spacious and great for a family sharing a room. Finally, the location was very central to cafes and close to everything. It was the most expensive place we stayed and not sure it was worth the money, however.

This was one of the most interesting hotels we stayed in spain. It is unique being in an old building that is beautiful. There are internal courtyards and pool on roof with a nice view. The room was large for us and our child but his bed was very unconfortable. Our bed was better but not one of the better beds. The only negative was that the staff was not very helpful or friendly. The hotel can be confusing to get around. However, it is in a great location and would highly recommend.

First visit to Seville brought us into the pedestrian zone of the old city. Hotel has spa,but we did not use. Piano Bar for a relaxing predinner hour furnished with tacky old world stuff was also place for wireless internet connection...less than ideal. Staff were alert, responsive and helpful but this compound of old structures offers many obstacles for the physically impaired while elevator access to some is underplayed. Breakfast in the subterranean chamber featured more odd decorating tastes with mylar mirrored upper walls and ceilings in the vaulted areas. Generous buffet included was a treat. Room was medieval in some ways with charming beams etc but water pipes sounded like jet engines and passersby in outdoor corridor completely audible. However, hotel has the aspect of a medieval village with many modern conveniences!

The hotel is a unique assembly of homes connected by walkways and beautiful courtyards. The area is perefect for walking to many sights. Many fabulous restaurants in the area. Plentiful taxis too. Excellent helpful staff. Excellent buffet breakfast and piano bar lounge too!! Could not have been better.

This is an unusual hotel spread across several streets. There are different areas connected by a tunnel with interconnecting passageways and stairways. The Hotel rooms are fuctional if a little dated. The one I stayed in had seen better days in parts. The hotel Piano bar is a little souless and reflects more the atmophere of a library than a bar. Still its in a great location in the Santa Cruz district and worth a look.

Very nice hotel although a little difficult to find actual room given teh configuration. One consern was safety -- the entry to our room was thought a small back alley and the entrance to our goup of rooms was not locked. Although there was an attendant in the section, the entry did not appear to be visable from where he sat. We encountered no problems, but we did see this as a potential problem especially given reports of petty crime in Sevilla
