Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We stayed 3 nights in November. The hotel is perfectly located in the old Santa Cruz part of the city close to the cathedral and Alcazar Palace. The quaint little streets around the hotel cannot be accessed by vehicles so your taxi will stop near the Alcazar Palace and the driver will walk you to your hotel, the same happens in reverse - the driver will collect you on foot from the hotel and walk you to the taxi. The hotel reception is in the Halo hotel just around the corner, this is also where breakfast is served if you take it. We had it on the last morning and it was substantial (hot and cold buffet) with prosecco on offer! There are so many restaurants, cafes and bars in this area that we preferred to explore and stop and eat along the way. The hotel bedroom was ok, quite small but adequate. Our room had a kettle and a few t-bags, but no coffee maker. The shower room was tired but had loads of hot water and shampoo and shower gel was supplied. The hair dryer was attached to the wall. We had to ask twice to get towels as there was only one in the room. We found the hotel very quiet at night as there is no road noise nearby. You may be woken quite early by the hotel laundry and supply carts coming along the cobbles but we didn’t mind as we wanted to be up early to explore. The staff we met were friendly and helpful. This hotel is fine for a few nights and in the perfect location to explore this beautiful city.

Hotel Boutique Elvira Plaza Sevilla. Pl. de Doña Elvira, 5, 41004 Sevilla, Spain
In 2019 I booked to stay at this hotel with my wife for a late season city break in September 2020 opting for the ‘double room with patio’, paying in advance. However, as Covid-19 began to shut down the world, flights were cancelled and borders were closed etc, I contacted the hotel and asked if my booking could be carried forward to the following year.
The hotel management were ‘First Class’. All of my emails were answered promptly and the staff were more than happy to postpone my city-break to the following year.
So, rolling on to September 2021. We arrived just after midnight at the hotel and found that the reception empty. However, I discovered a sign directing guests to an adjacent hotel (only metres away) which had 24hr reception. As we were reading this, a receptionist arrived stating the they were expecting us and had been looking out for us on the CCTV. I was then asked to attend at this second building and after checking in we were offered a glass of champagne each. What a welcome gesture!
Our room was 106. It was as described, a double bedroom with a small enclosed patio. It was through the patio door that the only natural light came into the room. The room appeared to have been freshly decorated and was spotlessly clean. It had a wall mounted TV, a double bed, a single stool, safe deposit box and a narrow occasional table. Upon the table was a kettle, cups, saucers, tea, coffee sugar/sweetener, milk, bottle of water and two glasses. The toilet and shower, regular and rain forest type (…that’s the shower, not the toilet…) were accessed via a frosted glass door.
The patio (approx 2.5m by 2m) was surrounded by high walls and adjoined another guest’s patio, divided by a wall. Ours was furnished with artificial grass and two metal garden chairs.
We discovered that the breakfast option was in the form of a boxed meal delivered to our room. If you order this, make sure you have an appetite! Each boxed meal consisted of a small croissant, chocolate muffin, bread roll, ham, cheese, yogurt, a jar of pineapple chunks, orange juice, tea, coffee and chocolate biscuit.
Throughout our stay we had occasion to speak with the staff who were always very friendly, approachable and eager to assist. (I needed to print some documents and again this was not a problem for them).
As for the hotel’s location, it’s in the heart of the old town without the associated noise of late-night revellers to keep you awake at night. The bars and restaurants are located nearby down adjacent narrow streets.
Would I go back to this hotel again? Yes. It would suit couples looking for a romantic break and culture vultures wishing to explore this beautiful city.

We chose this hotel due to its location and in the knowledge with a late flight back, at this price we were happy to pay for an extra night to have the room until 9pm without any concerns.
The hotel is basic and a little tired, so if you are planning a luxury escape this is not the place for you. However if you are looking for a central base to be able to walk to all the sights, with a nice clean quiet room, then this will do the job just nicely.

This hotel has a magnificent location in the heart of the Santa Cruz neighborhood and very close to the monumental and historical center, the bed is very comfortable although the pillows could be much improved as well as the amenities that are from bad to worst. They sell you a cut-out decoration made from leftover boards as minimalist decoration. There is no closet and not a single drawer where you can leave your most intimate or private things, the safe has been broken for a long time (years since I have seen a complaint about the same thing months ago) although they pretend that they are going to look at it without success of course, the hot water in the shower has no pressure so it has a hydromassage column through which a trickle of water falls, we complained and they very kindly told us that no one had said anything until now, I guess like with the Box strong... The sink, which is small, has an excessive faucet that prevents you from being able to wash your face without hitting it at least or without flooding everything. In short, everything in the decoration of the room is nonsense whose style I would describe as vulgar with pretentiousness. Our offer included breakfast, which is taken at the hotel next door with which we share the evening reception, and it also included a welcome drink which, upon request, the hotel director promised us a bottle of champagne. In the end neither of the two things. In the room there is a kettle and daily replacement of tea and coffee, the wifi works very well and the TV is somewhat outdated. You really pay for the location, the rest is overrated. I include photos.

This small hotel is in a quiet but central location in the heart of Seville. Outside the hotel is a pretty little square with orange trees and cobbled streets leading directly to the main attractions. Unfortunately, the rest of the hotel does not live up to its description. The room we stayed in for 3 nights was directly opposite the reception with no sound proofing so we had no privacy for our stay. We could hear the reception staff talking while we were in the room and I am sure they could hear everything we were doing too which made it rather uncomfortable. There was no one in reception to greet you on arrival and after a while someone appeared from another hotel I believe. The room is very basic and not at all well thought out. For example, the hanging rail is not long enough to hang dresses and there is no full length mirror or even a mirror outside of the bathroom to put on your make up or do your hair. The ‘door’ to the bathroom is not so much a door more of a partition so if you value your privacy in the bathroom this may not be the right place for you! The service was very impersonal and lacking in warmth the entire stay. Most of the staff were completely indifferent to our needs as guests, except on the last day when a lovely receptionist helped us order a taxi and asked if we had a nice stay. With a few tweaks and a more welcoming approach this could be a very nice place to stay in a wonderful part of Seville. While we made the most of our stay we would not return to this hotel or recommend it to others.

I'll start with the good, the location is magnificent and from our junior suite we could see the pinnacle of the Giralda and the beautiful Plaza de Doña Elvira. The bed was quite comfortable although the pillows were terrible but I asked for one more and they brought me a pretty good one. The reception, from certain hours onwards, was shared with another hotel and the staff, although generally quite friendly, gave you good words and zero solutions when faced with any complaint or demand. The safe in the room had not worked for months although they tried to fix it without success, the hot water had no pressure and came out of the hydromassage column in trickles and when we complained they acted surprised although I have seen the odd one complaint about it. The mini sink has a maxi faucet that prevents you from washing your face without injuring yourself. As for the furniture, it is non-existent, even though the property sells it as a minimalist style. I think it is more accurate to say that it is made of scraps and leftover pieces of wood. Calling that furniture is pretentious and misleading (I provide photos), there is no Not a single drawer where you can leave your things with a minimum of privacy and since the safe does not work, all things, whether valuable or not, are exposed. Breakfast is made in a nearby hotel and is not bad, and the welcome drink they offered was exchanged for champagne but in the end neither one thing nor the other. The truth is that they have quite spoiled the stay that was very special for us due to personal circumstances, a shame.

A pretty hotel, set in a quiet square full of trees, and in walking distance of a range of tavernas, bodegas and restaurants. Waking up to the bells of the Giralda tower was a lovely way to start our day,
I was pleased to have upgraded our room to one of the junior suites with a terrace, which meant we could sit on our balcony in the morning with a coffee before setting off sightseeing. I did have to supply our own coffee as the hotel only supplied mint tea bags and didn't replace them after the first morning, and we had to wash up the cups and glasses in the bathroom sink.
As someone else has mentioned, the door to the bathroom didn't offer much in the way of privacy, but I'm starting to wonder whether 'boutique' actually means 'no bathroom door'!
The staff we met were friendly, and a number of them attempted (without success) to fix the safety deposit box in the room. The only sour note was that we were billed an 'additional' amount as we were trying to head off to meet a taxi - apparently, despite allocating us with the junior suite we hadn't been charged for it on arrival and nobody thought to mention that they had undercharged us at any other point in the 4 days of our stay.

This hotel was very nice, and had a great location. It was a short walk away from the Real Alcazar and the Cathedral, perfect for tourists interested in those sights. The staff were very helpful, they had a Whatsapp number they were available on to help with any requests and they helped us book a free walking tour. If you are arriving via taxi, the closest drop-off location for cars is Plaza Alfaro. We do not recommend paying for the breakfast as it did not have many options and there are many restaurants in the area.

You reserve a room with some services, a hydromassage column, and the reality is that they give you a room that has a very average shower
Once the complaint is filed, the only thing the receptionist does is doubt my version and ask where I had seen that information.
I show him that on his website and in the reservation email that they sent me and he did nothing.
I'm not coming back, I don't like feeling cheated

Fairly disappointed with our current stay at Hotel Boutique Elvira Plaza.
We are staying in a ground floor room, booked for us through flight centre.
When we arrived, there was hair all over one of the pillows. The girl at the reception desk replaced the pillows and said the cleaners must have forgotten to change the pillow cases.
When we turned the air conditioning on in the room, the whole room smelled off smoke and meat, as if the AC is vented through the nearby kitchen, this is gross, but leaving the AC off in 33 degree heat is a tough sell. The ground floor room has paper thin walls - while we expect to hear some outside noise (we aren't actually unreasonable) we can hear everything that happens at reception, including when the staff who work here are talking and laughing for hours at a time when no guests are around. Again, normal behaviour and i understand having a laugh at work, but it is fairly consistent and really loud.. ordinarily we might be out site seeing, but this is in the afternoon during siesta time and because it has been so hot (and the food in Seville so good) a rest in the afternoon has been a necessity for us.
The staff are all very nice, but honestly the room sucks, the AC stinks, and finding hair on pillows (and all over the armchair in the room) upon arrival is just gross.

You would need to contact the hotel. Because of the layout some of the rooms are only accessible via steps, but some by elevator. So it would depend exactly which room you get.
