Location is perfect for anyone visiting the sights, it`s literally a couple of hundred metres from the heart of the old town, with the Basilica and the castle a stroll away. the person who met us (I`m sorry to say I don`t remember her name) was enthusiastically helpful whenever we met her. Full of information on the local area.

Only two things. The beds were too firm (a continental norm we`ve learnt over time) and the terrace would benefit from some sort of shading, an umbrella or a canopy. The sun can be very strong making the otherwise fabulous terrace a difficult place to sit out in at times.

Beautiful old mansion, repurposed into suites. Perfect for a holiday or even an extended stay, with a kitchen (biscuits and tea provided :)), separate bathroom, living room, and balcony. There is also a washer/dryer on the top floor. The location was perfect as well, within walking distance to Seville's highlights. The manager, Pablo, was very well-informed and helpful, providing recommendations and even an electrical converter since we forgot ours in a previous hotel.

You can hear people enter and exit the hotel easily if they aren't quiet - but this is pretty minor.

Amazingly preserved 17th century building with high ceilings with wonderful wooden frames. Artwork, tiles and frescoes of the period added to the splendour. The palatial suite #1, had enough room to swing an elephant. A kitchen with nice touches off a bedroom cum lounge with a screen to separate sleeping from lounging. The bathroom always smelled wonderful thanks to a diffuser. The roof top solarium gave you the sense of being in the heart of the city of antiquity. It is also wheelchair friendly as there is an elevator if you are not staying on the ground floor. The hostess was super friendly and knowledgeable.

Parking is a challenge. No problem if you get a taxi to drop you outside.

Pro - We were warmly welcomed by a guy who introduced himself as "Pablo". He was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Not only that he calmly explained in details how several keys were to be used, one, among others, is for elevator to the rooftop, but he was very knowledgeable, as if he could remember all streets in the map, so he could recommend several restaurants that we asked for, type of cuisine, and also supermarkets nearby. This was impressive, we followed the mark he put on the map and found the restaurant we asked for. In this regard, his advice was tailor-made, customized as per our questions. This is not the case that he had a list of restaurants in mind to tell all visitors the same list, but he came up with recommendation to serve our purpose. It shows he remembered all streets around the map. The inside decoration was very impressive, it felt authentic, classic, with the influenced from Portuguese decorative appearances. The room is too big, equipped with all you mean, kitchenware also. Location is best, with a short work and you reached the walking street full of restaurants and a short work to Catedral de Sevilla, and Royal Alcazar of Seville (RAS). For RAS, I highly recommend you book your ticket well in advance, but if you fail to do so, be there at 8:30am to be among the first in the walk-in queue, and you could get a ticket (after spending 1-1.5 hr queuing).

Con - This is not a hotel, so there is no 24 hrs front desk or reception desk being on site. There is no problem, only that you need to communicate clearly in advance, such as your expected arrival time, so you will be well served.

It was a treat to stay in a historic home and imagine what it might have been like to live there in centuries past. The apartment is beautiful, spacious, with big windows and a lot of light in the dining room, which made for enjoyable and relaxing breakfasts. The location is excellent - close to plenty of restaurants, but just far away enough to be quiet, without feeling unsafe. We walked there from the train station, which was manageable distance-wise, and also felt like a safe walk.

Nothing. We loved our visit and would stay again.

Our room was spacious and attractive. We loved the little patio and privacy. Light came in through glazed doors to the patio and a large kitchen window via stained glass doors from main room to kitchen. The room was very quiet (February) and built to keep heat out, but the heating worked well (cold in evenings). Very near to restaurants and historic areas. Helpful staff. Spacious bathroom, nice big towels repaced after 2 days. Fantastic historic building with sun roof.

Only the shower, which was hand-held. It almost looked as though it had been installed upside down as the shower head could not be inserted (without severe wobbling) into the part which would have made it a stationary fitting. Hard to shower both holding the shower head and a bar of soap! Likely to send water all over the bathroom floor.

It’s regality. It’s location. It’s beauty and calm. The well stocked suites are a plus. Perfect for a getaway-almost transporting you-in Sevilla, a city full of culture and charm, albeit old world charm. This royal 17th century place is a must visit if you like quaint white regal walls and a quiet time with lots of tranquility! Pablo- the owner/host is a gem!

Nothing that I can think about! Perhaps a Whatsapp contact number for communication as some of us don’t use a sim as we are travelling internationally. Booking.com messaging does bot always work.

We had a lovely stay at Suites Machado. The location was second to none - it was central but also peaceful and away from the ‘hubbub’ around the cathedral. The building is absolutely stunning - it was wonderful staying somewhere so historic and so beautifully decorated and furnished. Our facilities were perfect. The kitchen was small but fully functional, the bathroom fine. We had a bedroom and also a sofa bed for our daughter in the sitting room - both beds were very comfortable. As our apartment was at the back of the building, it was particularly quiet and felt very private. We also appreciated having access to the terrace.

We were in Seville in heavy rain. It was noisy at night, as the rain fell down the light well next to our bedroom and dripped off the roofs. But that can’t be very common!

Beatifully restored old house in a great location close to the Cathedral, restaurants and shops. We loved the decoration with the authentic furniture and the old charm of the place. Very friendly owner and great communication before and during our stay. We enjoyed daily cleaning with change of towels. Nice roof terrace and beatiful patio.

We were 4 so had to use also the sofa bed (which was comfortable). As there is no door separation between the entrance room which has a glass wall towards the patio and a room with a sofa bed, this may be not ideal for light sleepers.

We stayed in suite 5 on the second floor reached via a beautiful patio and marble stair or by a lift. The suite was large, spacious and beautiful with lovely tiled floors. A bedroom, bathroom, large, gorgeous living room with ancient rafters, kitchen and patio, all beautifully furnished and decorated, and access to the roof terrace with a view of the Giralda and a washing machine and drier. Let us leave our luggage after checkout until we were ready to collect it. Perfectly positioned in Santa Cruz and accessible by taxi

Nothing!
