Triana House

I was so disappointed with our room at Triana House that I re-read the TripAdvisor and booking site reviews, nearly all of which give the hotel 5 stars or equivalent, and I can only think that successive reviewers have followed suit in a ‘King's New Clothes’ kind of way or otherwise they must be completely deluded. Either way, I have to set the record straight. In the interests of fairness, I did report my views to the reception the morning after arrival as I am aware that hoteliers frequently complain in these columns that nothing was said at the time. We were staying in room ‘São Paolo’, not a large room but designated a superior room— I wonder what a standard would look like? It was soon apparent that storage space was almost non-existent. There were no drawers anywhere in the room and no shelves except the high upper wardrobe shelf (already full of spare bedding), the raised wardrobe floor (room for a suitcase underneath) and a small dressing table shelf already full with the tea-tray and kettle. There was only one double hook (for towels) in the bathroom, none in the bedroom, no shelves in the bathroom either except a small 10x10 inch tower unit already holding toiletries and toilet rolls. There weren’t even usable windowsills (the bedroom window fits flush and the bathroom sill is chamfered at 30 degrees). Instead of bedside cabinets, we each had a patio-type round table of polished stone on a cast-iron frame. So there was nowhere safe to put my spectacles, watch, phone, medication, reading book etc., without the risk of knocking them off onto the hard, tiled floor in the night and so we were forced to live out of a suitcase for a few nights – not ideal but easier for us, maybe, as we were travelling light. I dread to think how other guests seen arriving with multiple suitcases would have fared in similar rooms. The colour scheme was very dark – the dark grey shower was especially poorly lit, not helped by one of the two light bulbs above the mirror and serving the whole bathroom being blown (until replaced at my request). The shower also possessed a kind of raised pedestal floor, around the edges of which the water drains away; unfortunately, if you drop the soap or see it slip through the wire soap holder then that's gone for good down there too. Reviewers enthuse about the hotel garden terrace. None of this is available to the occupants of ‘São Paolo’ and its neighbours in the annexe except by ringing the bell for access to the main hotel which remains otherwise inaccessible behind formidable, locked wooden doors at all times, not openable by the annexe keys, although the reception staff are pleasant and helpful once this bastion has been breached. Reviewers also enthuse about ‘breakfast in bed’. In reality, there is nothing luxurious about breakfast served on a tray placed in the middle of the bed for want of more space. It’s no more than a slightly more stylishly-served version of roughing it as we do in those Traveller’s Lodgings th

If you're the type of person/couple who appreciates something different to the generic hotel chain then this is the place for you! The guilded opulence of the decor is perfectly in keeping with the vibe of the city as you start to discover it's rich history. The hotel is situated in the trendy neighborhood of Triana that is only a short stroll from the historical centre, so is an ideal place to base yourself to explore everything Seville has to offer. This hotel likes to do things a little bit differently to the norm and my partner and I particular enjoyed the gorgeous breakfasts delivered to our room each morning featuring freshly brewed coffee, fruit and pastries. They were even able to accommodate any allergy concerns like gluten allergies. It was a truly wonderful stay

Beautiful room. The blind was broken, only shut 2/3rds down meaning the room is bathed in light from 6am. Scented candle was a nice touch except it was burnt to the wick so only good for decoration. The hotel is one of those where you can hear EVERY word of the people in the room next door and most of what they’re saying in the room across the hall. Marble floors, echos in the corridors, you can hear all the keys in the locks and people chatting in the small landing, no soundproofing whatsoever. Also my room (Oviedo) could hear loud shower/ tap noises from the room next door. Staff are great, nice area, beds super comfortable but not a great night’s sleep I’m afraid and when you’re only there for one night that’s disappointing.

Nice, convenient location and very friendly and helpful staff. however, as this building is a house, the noise level was quite loud and i could clearly hear the other guests coming and going, and in their rooms. Also, the hallway of this building smelled like garbage during all 3 of my nights there. If you mainly need a crash pad, this place is more than sufficient.

We had a fabulous 3 night stay in Triana House at the end of our holiday in Spain. In booking directly with Triana, the communication was excellent and the Reception staff were really helpful in arranging our taxi transfer from Seville - Santa Justa Station. The welcome from Dalila and Grazia was so friendly that we felt at home immediately. We had the room pictured, with a small private terrace - the perfect setting for the excellent breakfast which was delivered to our room each morning. The location in the Triana Quarter was agreeably quiet and yet within easy walking distance of the historical centre. The Reception Team, including Sandra who was there to say farewell, were superb in every way. Having enjoyed Seville and Triana House so much, a return visit will be a "must". Highly recommended.

We were so impressed!!! Triana House is absolutely beautiful. The decor is stunning, the neighborhood is charming, the hospitality & attention to detail are second to none! My husband & I enjoyed everything about this lovely boutique hotel!

From the warmest welcome and beautiful chic room with every amenity to the great location for all the Triana area has to offer, we had the most wonderful stay. The staff outstanding, hygiene of the highest standard and couldn't have been more helpful
