The family workhorse of central Seville: a large hotel with a real outdoor pool, next to the Plaza de Espana and its rowing boats, and a flat walk from the old town. It is not boutique, but the space, the pool and the location make it one of the easiest bases in the city with young children, especially in the heat.
Our verdict
The practical family pick: a real pool and roomy family rooms next to Plaza de Espana, ideal for keeping young kids cool and close to the sights.
The rooms
A big, practical city hotel a two-minute walk from Plaza de Espana, with a proper outdoor pool that is the main reason families book it. Rooms are roomy and easy to fit a cot or an extra bed, and interconnecting rooms are available for parties of four or five. Cots are free and there are plenty of family-sized options for the price.

Parents also ask
Is the pool open all year?
The outdoor pool is seasonal, usually open from late spring to early autumn, which covers the hottest months when families most want it.
Can it sleep a family of five?
Yes, through interconnecting rooms rather than one large room, which is often better value and gives the children a door of their own.
How far is the old town?
The cathedral and Santa Cruz are a flat ten to twelve-minute walk, and the Plaza de Espana is right next door, so you rarely need transport.
