I had read the reviews beforehand and so I knew what to expect. Firstly room 702 was fantastic. The massive balcony overlooking Sevilla was so cool. The room was big, no issues with thin walls or anything of the sort. However, yes, the smell of sewage is there in the lobby immediately as you enter. The room wasn't as bad but you could still smell it. The area itself doesnt smell of sewage at all so its quite puzzling. The sink was smashed and the wallpaper was peeling, which doesnt bother us but they should get it fixed if they want to be seen as a 4 star hotel.. The staff were friendly and helpful, it wasnt ideal that their ice machine was broken though. The area was fantastic and Sevilla is such a perfect city in every sense. If I could stay in the same room again then I would stay here again. If not then I would probably look at somewhere else in the same area. Overall we had a nice time.
