    Excellent location, walk out the door onto beautiful cobbled streets full of shops bars cafés and restaurants. Easy 5 minute walk to the cable car to go up the rock. Rooms are old fashioned, bathroom and toilet are very outdated, but everything was clean and worked. Fridge in the room which was nice, excellent air conditioning unit. There is a pool with garden area and pool bar which was a bonus. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We also got parked at the hotel door (we were possibly lucky as there are only a few spaces), but reception gave us a permit so there was no fee to pay.

    The pool area is nice but some umbrellas would be good. It also needs money spending on it…

    Location, I knew it would be dated so accepted the decor!

    Excellent location, excellent and friendly staff, shame about the leak in our room.

    Location: n/a Room: very 'tired' furnishings/carpet, plus we were unfortunate to have an extremely bad ?leak over a Bank Holiday weekend causing a large wet patch in the centre of our room. Probably due to the age of the carpet, this made the room extremely smelly when locked up all day. The extremely lovely and helpful staff were unable to resolve the issue during our stay or offer an alternative room, so we had to have a window open at night due to the smell and were bitten several times by mosquitoes. The AC unit was too noisy to have on when sleeping, though we tried. Breakfast: A plain yoghurt option with separte fruit would have been preferred, but appreciate this may be a cost issue.

    Location: very central and not too noisy despite this, with excellent access to transport links all day. Room: had everything we needed - good bed, 2 desks, phone, hairdryer, wardrobe, fridge TV, WiFi etc. Spacious ensuite with regular hot water. Breakfast: Lovely hot coffee, reasonable selection of food, lovely staff.

    There isn’t a restaurant for evening meals or entertainment so you’d need to go into town for that, but everything is nearby so it’s no issue. The breakfast unfortunately stops early at 9.30am and the bar closed quite early on a number of occasions

    This is a fantastic place to stay. It’s clean, quiet, comfortable, centrally located and with air conditioning in the rooms. It also has a lovely outside section and a little pool which is a delight to swim in. It’s also very good value for money and the staff are very friendly and helpful

    I stayed in The Bristol Hotel whilst enroute to Seville for two nights mid July 25. The hotel has a fantastic location in the old town with restaurants,shops and bars at it's door step. It's also only a 10 minute walk to the cable car to take you up "The Rock" to visit the monkeys and other attractions. I required parking and the hotel has a small limited number of spaces reserved on the street at the front ot the building. I would say around 10 spaces. There's also a motorcycle park across the street which i believe is free. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is in great need of restoration. My room was cleanish , however, very fusty which created a smell. The beds were very old and squeaky. My room had a mobile air conditioning unit which was seriously loud. Other room facilities were fridge and TV. The bathroom had shower over bath with little pressure. A hairdryer is also supplied. As a seasoned traveller i found this hotel expensive £274 for two nights. If you require breakfast that's an additional £7 which is continental. I really don't mind the cost however this would be for me a 2 star hotel with regards to the standard of facilities. I can most definitely recommend the location but not the hotel at this time as it simply is in need of alot of TLC. The building is quirky and attractive and could have so much more to offer.

    The a/c was very inferior. It seems that the warmer it was that less it wanted to cool. The wors part was the way it was installed. It pointed to the bathroom, so we had to leave the bathroom closed and the cool air would get stopped at the area where the door was. I have medical issues and had hoped to have a cooler retreat from the weather.

    It is a great location to great food and shopping. The staff was very nice and the breakfast was just what I like. I loved the classic look of the lobby, it gave a great sense of history and elegance.

    The room doesn't have a full air conditioner, it's rather something called portable AC, which is very weak. The room also had only a window looking to internal courtyard, so view whatsoever.

    The staff, especially the man at the reception who lent me a socket adapter and the woman who works at bar, who was very kind and helpful to me despite I came very very late to the breakfast.

    Rooms are in serious need of an upgrade. Bathroom is too small - hardly any room to use the wash basin. Beds are quite hard. Aircon unit in room is very noisy! Breakfast facilities are poor - we mostly ate elsewhere.

    More vegetarian options please. More choices of healthy low cereals please. NO FRESH FRUIT, apples bananas oranges NO TINNED FRUIT, eg prunes, grapefruit , to add to cereal NO PLAIN UNSWEETENED YOHURT, for fruit

    Location ok, but no fresh or tinned fruit, only two choices of cereal. Really liked the hard boil egg, but on the third morning the egg smelled, which spoiled breakfast. How long are these eggs kept please?
