Stayed here in May the location of hotel is great for getting about Havana. The hotel has lots of character and a variety of musicians throughout the afternoon and evening. My room was kept clean and comfortable not in a good location for view, but I only slept in it. Friends had much better views. Breakfast was fine. I only ate at the snack bar which was reasonable. I felt the bar was overpriced for quality and have had far better mojitas elsewhere in Havana, however staff were all polite and helpful. I would stay here again for the location. Shower had fantastic power. Cuban friends were also allowed into hotel without any problems, which is not always the case despite it being their country.

Just got back from 4 nights at the sevilla and I would recommend it to anyone. It is a lovely hotel with lots of character and the service is very good. The only downside was the breakfast sometimes was not in abundance if you went too late and the general cleanliness of the hotel was a bit poor. The rooms where clean but dusty and could do with a damp cloth over some places, but this is the general feeling for the whole of cuba, so the hotel is no worse. It could be a 5 star if they just made a bit more of an effort. I think we had a superior room on the 7th floor, even though we didn't ask for it, as it had a lounge and a bedroom. It was really nice and the view was tremendous so would recommend it to anyone. The location was the best bit and there was always taxis outside ready to take you wherever. I personally wouldn't return to cuba as I have seen it now and the poverty, hassle and paying every time I wanted some loo paper got me down a bit, but if you haven't seen havana, then go and stay here!

We just got back from 6 nights in the Sevilla. We had a superior room and I really think it was worth the extra for the space. The hotel has bags of character, friendly staff, tasty breakfasts and the patio bar serves a mean mojito. If you want a sterile, expensive and non-Cuban experience then DONT bother with the Sevilla try the Parque Central.

First off, remember this is Habana, in Cuba and you are working with supply restrictions in everything, at all times. The Sevilla's location was perfect for walking tours of the Old City, and convenient enough to let you pop back and then head out again. It is also right beside the Museum of the Revolution and the Fine Arts Museum. The roof top restaurant's wonderful view was diminished by the dismal food preparation and somewhat condescending service. Go for a drink before dark to enjoy the view, but in the hotel, eat at the bar in the main floor courtyard - slow but satisfying - also some great musicians serenading diners. The hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly and the cashiers never ran out of convertible pesos. Taxis were always available right outside the door and the outdoor pool was lovely. We had a corner room (8th floor) and, just as another reviewer mentioned, it had two large beds and loads of room - a window with a view, but no balcony. On the street in front of the lobby we could hear the music from the ballet academy across the road. Breakfast was included and was good by Cuban standards. Outside the hotel, we had a terrific evening meal at La Mina restaurant in Plaza de Armas - roaming peacocks no less! We would definitley return to this hotel and have happy memories of our visit.
