Casa Boutique La Pila del Pato in Seville

Disappointing room with no window that you could look out of. I knew there was no lift but would have liked to be warned that it was 59 steps to get to our room number 12. Also, had we been warned the room did not have a normal window I would not have boomed it. And certainly not for £150 a night was very expensive for what we got. Clearly rooms on the lower floors are better. Shame I did not see the other poor reviews of the upper room before I booked. The only way to get natural light into our room was to open the window, but directly opposite was an open window so we did not feel private, and it was also cold to have the window open. I suggest you check which room you are getting unless you don't mind no window and lots of steps. When we left, we carried our luggage downstairs in lots of bags and packed the suitcase on the floor of the lobby! Great location, tasty breakfast, nice bathroom. I would not go there again.

We stayed in this hotel for one night on our way to a wedding in Jerez. It is in a quiet street, away from heavy traffic. We are not young but were allocated a room on the top floor, up several flights of stone stairs – there is no elevator (lift). After several treks up and down the stairs, we asked for a more easily accessible room and were eventually allocated a room on the ground floor. The staff were very helpful in this matter but they had to argue our case by phone with the manageress. Access to the rooms and the luggage room is by app on your mobile phone. This proved to be a problem as we had to collect a relation from a late flight into Seville Airport and, when we got back to the hotel, the app would not open her room. After a long phone call to the night manager in another hotel, the room door was opened remotely. Breakfast was extra and was served in a room cluttered with artefacts, at a tiny round table whist sitting on wicker armchairs. The furniture was mismatched and the table was too small to accommodate three diners. La Casa del Maestro is part of a chain named pQliar and flaunts its peculiarity. Nothing wrong with this but rooms on the top floor are suitable only for those who like stepping exercises.
