You can't beat this hotel's location, a 1 minute walk to Seville Cathedral.
But it is very basic in its facilties: noisy, unable to block out light when u sleep, very basic continental breakfast (not worth the EUR8), no room safe, not even a box of tissues. For EUR 109 per night (room only), I expected better.
Hotel Simon has a very good location for visiting all the sights/ bars / restaurants of Seville. The staff are helpful & friendly. As long as you don't expect up to date luxury it's fine for a couple of nights-everything is very clean, just dated. You stay here for the location not luxury.Can't comment on the breakfast as we ate out-there are so many places to choose from.
Hotel Simon is in a great spot. In the old town near everything. Staff are friendly - they look after your bags, call you taxis etc. It's a 5* location.
The hotel is historic, but basic - very basic. It's clean. It's got good wifi but no TV. Probably a 1* room.
We had a ground floor room - they are very basic. Probably the most basic hotel room I've stayed in for many years. Room 111 had no windows - but no street noise either. If I went again I'd stay upstairs.
Having said that - it was fine. We spent very little time in our room. The bed was passable. Seville is fantastic - go outside. If you want to spend your money on tapas and beer then flop home. Hotel Simon is fine.
It's a nice hotel, near cathedral and major tourist attractions, very helpful staff, nice maintained property, but bit costly as compared to facilities. Nice breakfast, bit noisy, back room,
Otherwise
Hotel Simon is a historical building is a very ornate reception with fountain. The room we had was clean and a comfortable size.
It was a great location since we could step out to the main mall area with the cathedral, many restaurants and a gentle stroll to the Real Alcazar, Park and not far from Plaza de Espana.
This is a great spot if you are looking for a cost effective option with all that Seville has to offer at your doorstep.
