Great hotel near the historic center. There is public transportation available and a parking available for guests at the property. The Staff was very helpful with directions and questions! I would stay again here!

Hotel Giralda Center
Worth paying the supplement for a Superior room and the extra space and bed size 👍. The hotel is well situated for a short walk/tram ride into the centre where there is plenty to see and do. Nice time of year to visit as it’s not too busy or too hot yet. Told it can get up into the mid 40’s in summer!! ...

Booked the junior suite which was great for the 4 days, seating area, large bathroom and larger bed and very clean, spacious, comfortable and best of all the air con actually worked in the hotel. The air was great so after long day walking sitting and having a relaxing drink was much needed
