Hotel Taberna del Alabardero de Sevilla — Hotel in Seville

Had a special meal with my wife here to celebrate my birthday. We had not prebooked but were able to secure a table easily after walking in one evening. The staff were very attentive and the meal was first class. There is some kind of 'chef school' here so expect top notch food . Although this was a nice venue it wasnt cheap and for the money we paid I would have expected a little more . A somelier supplied our wine opening two types of red to compliment our differing meals, nothing unusual about that but as I opted for just a glass of wine felt that I was given a short measure. I wished afterwards that I had ordered a full bottle so at least you know how much you have consumed. I had ordered a beer while we were waiting to enter the restuarant and that was the equivalent of a third of a pint or less. I thought that odd too as beer is generally cheap. There was precious little by way of vegetables during the main course so I felt that we did not get much for what we paid for, over a hundred pounds equivalent. My wife felt we had had a special meal in a glamorous setting and I cannot argue with that, I just felt upon leaving that it was pricey for what we had. Staff were excellent but I guess I expected more .Maybe one should try the testing menu in future, likely to be better...

This is our second stay after having last visited 5 years ago. Little has changed. The staff is welcoming and extremely dedicated to the comfort and experience of its guests. David went out of his way to accommodate us, even going so far as to obtain a table reservation at a popular restaurant in a non touristy area just minutes before we wanted to dine. The room was clean, spacious and there’s plenty of space for clothes. The A/C was powerful and immediately cooled the room. Our room faced the street outside and we could hear loud laughter as people walked home at night but it was fairly muffled by the extra sound deadening windows installed since our last visit. The hotel is literally a 7 minute walk from the cathedral and a 3 minute walk from a taxi stand. Close to many restaurants. As we did years ago, we dropped our luggage off before we could check in and again had them watch it after checkout so we could continue touring during the afternoon before our train departed. ||We would recommend this...

Having just come from a mediochre experience in hotel Don Miguel in Ronda, what a refresing experience this was!||Not only were we greeted by Julia the manageress, but she took personal responsibility and interest in welcoming us as well as accompanying us through the labarynth of backstreets to get to the parking three floors down via a very tight lift!||Hotel was fantastic as was our room. We had the Cordoba junior suite. Very well appointed. All of the staff in fact were very helpful and courteous No-one put a foot wrong.||All great and would recommend this hotel to anyone on either a leisure or business trip. The attention to detail and service we found to be second to none and we have stayed at other higher priced hotels in Sevilla previosly.||Thanks Julia and staff for a great and welcoming stay. You got it completely right.||Thanks again and...
