Stayed one night after returning from a touring holiday and with a plane to catch from Seville airport in the morning. The IBIS chain is functional and well priced. I paid about Euros 60 for a room. Booked easily online and with guaranteed reservation which can be cancelled before 7pm. Staff at reception asked if I wanted to use the underground parking but instead I used the space outside the hotel. I think if I had a foreign car with lots of luggage I would put it in the parking - just for security.
The hotel is actually on the edge of an industrial estate bordering the main road that runs out of Seville to the airport and Cordoba beyond. I chose to walk to the nearest bus stop which is in front of the Peugeot showroom, and waited a few minutes to catch the 70 bus into the city. One Euro later and about 15 minutes, was at the Prado de San Sebastian close to the Alcazar and easy walking into Barrio Santa Cruz. On the way, we went down a nice looking road with several shops and stores.
The hotel is perfectly air conditioned so in the oppresive heat outside it felt fine inside. It does make a good temporary base especially if you have a car and do not want to stay in the older part of Seville. As I was returning the hire car at Seville airport in the morning it was easy enough to get to the other side of the Avenida de Kansas City by firstly taking the slip road towards Seville centre then the first slip road right to make a turn at the traffic lights and to cross over and return towards the airport.

The Ibis was a great place if you want to be near the airport - easily within a 10 minute drive. The online map from the Ibis website is not exactly what the streets/turn offs look like. Driving on your own it would be somewhat hard to find in the daytime, but easy at night as it is very well lit. We used a taxi from the airport which cost 21 Euros one-way (24 Euros going back since they had to wait on us to check out). The room/bath were spotless. Digital TV, free wirelss internet. Check-in people spoke excellent English and were very friendly. The buffet breakfast (not included in the room price) was outstanding. A glass enclosed bus stand is about 400 meters from the hotel on Avenida Kansas City. For 1 Euro you can take the #70 air-conditioned bus downtown - about 20 minutes ride. This puts you near the cathedral and other places to see. The #70 bus ride back is about 40 minutes.

Hotel Ibis is a chain of standardized hotels in Europe, owned by Accor Hotels. It's essentially like Motel 6 in the USA (also owned by Accor) -- similarly generic, small, clean and comfortable rooms but Ibis has a slightly European panache in terms of color scheme and bathroom design and more inviting lobbies and restaurants. All-in-all, a very nice place to stay, especially if you want predictable and affordable lodging in Europe. The staff is very helpful and these hotels are always located conveniently next to highways and within walking distance of brand-name markets such as Carrefour (sort of like the USA's Target or a very nice Wal-Mart). Hotels also offer free parking which is great in Europe!

We stayed at both the Malaga and Sevilla Hotel Ibis locations. Hotels were virtually identical in layout/location/staffing and were very simple but pleasant and quiet.

Hotel Ibis Sevilla was excellently located outside the bustle of Sevilla and right next to a bus-stop that goes right into the heart of the city in about 10 minutes. I heartily recommend NOT driving in Sevilla -- park at Ibis and ride the bus in!

Our only specific advice is twofold: 1) Book the rooms in advance and reserve them with a credit-card if you think you are going to be late in arriving. We booked a room in Sevilla from their Jerez location and the contract stipulated that we had to arrive at 7 p.m. or the reservation would be voided. We arrived at 9 p.m. (see reason in #2!) and the desk-clerk gave us a bit of a hard time. Fortunately a room was available but it was a nail-biting minute or two as two weary travellers desperate for sleep had a minor show-down with the clerk . . .

2) The driving directions/maps provided by Accor Hotels online and in their printed guides (for both Hotel Ibis and ETAP Hotels) are terrible! Do not rely on them to find your hotels -- get detailed maps of the cities you're going to visit beforehand, plot out where your hotel is and then devise a strategy for getting there. We unfortunately relied on the provided maps and we literally drove around Sevilla for 2 hours trying to find the place. Driving in Sevilla is stressful anytime but hell if you are unfamiliar with the city and tired. This is the sort of thing that ruins vacations and marriages so get a good map! If things get really bad, hire a taxi to lead you to your hotel -- it's worth the 10 euro or whatever for the time/stress it will save you.
