Silken Al-Andalus Palace Review

Review of the Silken Al-Andalus Palace in Sevilla, Spain
A friendly staff greets you as soon as you drive up to this hotel. The concierge desk is located outside to immediately be there to help out.

After entering the building, a grand central area is thrust upon you with various decorations and art-work. You can tell immediately that the hotel provides a comfortable atmosphere.

The room itself is pretty standard, but they are definitely clean and comfortable. We had an excellent view overlooking the gorgeous pool and outdoor bar.

For parking, we were able to find a spot along the street, right in front of the hotel for free. However, they do offer a parking garage as well for 12 Euros/Day

One thing people will notice is that the hotel itself is not located in the central portion of Sevilla, which is where you'll probably spend most of your time. It is a good 45 minute walk to this area, or a 5 minute bus ride at a cost of 1.20 euros a person for a one-way fare. Cabs do sit right outside for most of the day waiting for fares. A one-way fare into the center of town should cost about 5 Euros, but make sure to negotiate this before you get into the cab.

As long as you don't mind the walk or taking the bus or cab though, I believe this is an excellent hotel for anyone looking to stay in Sevilla.
