Hotel Exe Sevilla Macarena
Updated 1 July 2026
- Baby
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
A dependable, wallet-friendly family hotel in the Macarena, a real Seville neighbourhood north of the tourist crush. You get an outdoor pool, generous rooms and a hearty breakfast at a fair price, with the Alameda's playgrounds and the old town both walkable. It trades the postcard old-town setting for space, value and a swim, a smart deal for families watching the budget.
Our verdict
The value family pick: a pool, roomy family rooms and a big breakfast in a calm local neighbourhood, with the sights a short walk or taxi away.
The rooms
A large, good-value hotel by the Macarena basilica, with an outdoor pool and a big buffet breakfast that families rate highly. Rooms are a comfortable size, and there are family rooms and connecting options that fit four without paying old-town prices. Cots are free, and the local, less touristy setting is calmer than the centre while still walkable to it.
