very convenient, very clean. but with the high price. The hotel don't give your current day's foreign currency exchange rate, they hold your money until the better rates they get to cash in.

Don’t stay here :(
The front desk ran out of paper to make a copy of my passport. And the attendant couldn’t find any- it was nearly 20 mins to check in. Then the room was in nice appearance but I found 2 fleas and a few ants and fruit flys. FLEAS! Additionally, the bed was not made for sleeping. It was like sleeping on a plastic / cardboard mattress. Lastly they did construction the next morning in the lobby and the drills easily penetrated the walls and didn’t alliw me to sleep.

Pedestrian zone
Sweet hotel with keyless entry (great not having to carry a room card). Head up- it’s in a pedestrian only area steps from the Alcazar & Cathedral but that means taxis can’t drop off/pick up so you’ll drag suitcases down cobblestone streets to get there! But close to everything- great location.

At the heart of Seville's Old Town
I booked Dona Lina at the last minute as I thought I had a booking at another hotel to find when I arrived they had no such booking.I did little research and chose it largely on location. I like to stay in the Santa Cruz quarter with it's tapas bars and delightful shops. The hotel was very clean although the room was not large. It was located right in the heart of the lively Santa Cruz district with the smell of orange blossom from the Alcazhar and the buzz of chat at outside tables . It was actually rather difficult to find as is often the case for places in the old town , accessible through ziz-zagging streets. It was ideal once located. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful although there is a complicated WiFi sign in which caused difficulty. I was told the two step login is required by police . Overall my stay was perfectly comfortable and well located .

Nice central hotel
We had a very pleasant experience at La Hostería de Doña Lina. The room was clean and tidy, perfect for a two night stay. If you are looking for a longer stay, it is perhaps a little small, but overall we couldn't complain. The continental breakfast was good and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It's just stones throw away from the Giralda cathedral and the Alcázar, so can't fault the location either! We recommend this hotel.

Located in an interesting part
Easy access to the Alcaza and to main road as it can be a bit disorientating finding things in the maze of alleyways. Don't bother eating breakfast or anything as its not fresh and their are way better options a quick walk from your room. It's not hard to offer a good breakfast just give fresh juice etc (they had a machine to do it and Seville is famous for its oranges and yet they used premixed juice and packaged croissants etc really don't bother!! I really hope they wake up as it seems the restaurant is failing as it was practically always empty). Simple fixes for a simple problem. But the room was fine and clean, but if you like soft beds you will be disappointed as the beds are hard, but that seems to be quite normal in Spain. Didn't have a safe either which is not good as our room was on the first floor and easily climbable for a thief even though we didn't have anything stolen. The staff were always very nice and the room was very clean, and the room quite large consider the age and proportions of these buildings.

Great location and price
Great little hotel in a perfect location. We stayed 4 nights in Sevilla at this hotel and really enjoyed it. You are located within the quaint Plaza Dona Elvira with each restaurant having outdoor dinner tables around the small square. FYI- since you are inside the square you can't get dropped off via taxi to the door. Our cab driver called the hotel and they dropped us close by and a hotel staff member met us and walked us to the hotel. You are the perfect distance to everything touristy while being in a "softer" area (not so loud and touristy). 5 Min walk to the Cathedral and Alcazar (located in the same area). 10 min walking to the Torre del Oro which is on the Guadalquivir River. Maybe a 15 min walk maximum to the Plaza de Espana. But trust me, you want to be close to the Cathedral and Alcazar if you have any tours to make. We had 1 double, 1 single bed -- room was pretty basic with a nice size bathroom, but it was all you need since you are outside mostly. No ironing board was available. I would recommend bringing earplugs (anywhere you stay) since most dinners don't get started until 8-9pm. So if you have an early train to catch, you don't want to hear the singers (who play music and sing to the customers in the plaza) while you try to sleep. We had them and it was no problem at all.

Clean, quiet, room excellent location.
All staff were friendly and attentive. On check in a staff member carried my suitcase upstairs without me asking, which I appreciated. The hotel allowed me to check in early, I was moving from another, very noisy hotel close by. The room was very clean, comfortable & quiet with good aircon. The bathroom was big and the shower very nice. Good value, I would recommend to others.

Good location, clean, and very basic
The hotel is just right at the very cute square with orange trees and tile benches, Plaza de Dona Elvira. Hard to find at first, but in this old quarter every place is like that. You have to get lost few times to enjoy the area! We got a room that is above the restaurant dining area (belong to the hotel too) so it can be noisy during dinner time. This said, we usually come back to the room after 11pm, so it was not a problem. Nothing fancy in the room, just basic necessary items and it was very clean. Good value.

Reasonable priced, convenient location
They run a restaurant on the 1st floor of the hotel, and you need to walk through the tables to get to the reception. The room I had was a single room looking down the restaurant area (which must have been a patio in the past) - that was the only window I had! Decent size room. No TV, but free WiFi kept me entertained, so it was OK. I didn't notice until the 2nd day, but sewage in the bathroom stunk, even though the room was on the 1st floor (which is not the first time I experienced in Spain). The hotel was very well located on one of the allies of Santa Cruz close to tourist attractions and restaurants which was great. People walking until late, and it was safe. There was always somebody at the reception/restaurant. Breakfast was simple - toasted bread, various pates, jams, orange juice and coffee - but it saved me time to look for something to eat every morning. I could find a better hotel at a lower price in other Andalucia cities, but I guess hotels in Seville are on expensive side?

Disliked: Room comfort
The hotel had a great location, in the historic heart of Seville, and the staff was pleasant. The room had an odd and narrow "L" shaped design with the bed parallel to the wall with no head board. The breakfast was a disappointment, one cup of coffee, white bread roll with a small tin of what was supposed to be meat, and some other jelly condiments.

Such a surprise - best location!
The hotel is in such an amazing location, within the old part of town, 2 mins from the alcazar & cathedral. You step outside to a tiled orange grove with cafes along the edge. The rooms are nice, good size for 2, the bathrooms were large. WIFI available in the restaurant downstairs, with staff always available to make you an espresso! amazing! Breakfast was delicious, amazing fresh hot bread and coffees. We would stay here again in a heart beat - kind of sad to leave!

Good location, but uncomfortable
We spent 3 nights here and even the location was unbeatable, we didnt exactly have a good night's sleep each night we were there. We didn't need a star hotel, just a clean and nice place to crash at night. The hotel room felt cramped, the WiFi had issues connecting, the heater kept making weird noises at night and the beds were uncomfortable. We woke up each morning tired. Still, the staff made every effort to speak in English and it was a stone's throw from everything we wanted to do - Banos Arabes (Aire de Sevilla), the Cathedral, the Alcazar, Los Gallos, etc. It was extremely difficult to find the hotel the first time around - even the taxi driver did not know of it. You will have to meander around the streets to enter the hotel. Unfortunately for us, there was some construction work going right outside the hotel and so it was covered in tarp and paint.

good location
Our room was dark and a strange shape! The furniture was limited (no bedside tables and no full lenghth mirror). The bathroom fittings were 'flimsy', but it was very clean. I wouldn't stay in this hotel for more than 2/3 nights, I would start to miss a few minor comforts. The staff are friendly and the location is very good. Take ear plugs for the cathederal bells on Sunday morning!

Amazing hotel to stay at and very economical
I unfortunately only stayed here one night. I was flying the next day to London Gatwick airport. I had a very pleasureable stay nonetheless. I stayed in a single room. It was quite small but I didn't mind because I only slpet there. It's hard to get too because the location of the hotel is Moorish architecture so there are many many many callejones. It is basically a maze and you must have a map to get to which you can get at the tourist info desk or at any other hotel you see along the way. My suggestion is to go through El Jardin (the big garden park that is very very close to the hotel). I did not eat there because I did not have time. When I checked out early in the morning Don Pedro offered me basic food and juice to munch on on my journey to the airport which was very sweet of him. It is close to many attractions in Sevilla but recommend you do one of those hop on and off bus tours because Sevilla is a very big city and very hot and humid on the summer. I will most definitely stay here again when I go back to Sevilla. It does get quite noisy during dinner tome but like I said, I was too busy walking around and seeing as much as I can.

Fine hostale within 5-10 mins walking of the old town. Good breakfast & staff happy to help. Decor & facilities as you would expect for this price, but clean enough & parking (additional) underneath the hostaria was a fantastic bonus as hard to come by in ronda even in off season.
