The Zentral Arenal Suites

Excellent location, great service and support for everything we needed.

Perfect accommodation. We have a private pateo and was great. The location is perfect as you can visit center Sevilla from there, and no need to use the car. In front of the apartment there is an parking 19,50€ a day. The staff was very helpfull. The only thing that was not nice, was the fact that we had to make the sofa bed ourselves. If you already knew that the reservation needed to use the sofa bed, this could already be prepared.

The location is ideal for sightseeing and to relax by the river, doing a bike tour (a tour company is right next door at the market), to do grocery shopping (again, the market with a bakery, fresh fruits, cheese/meat) or to see a flamenco show (in the same building). For a longer stay, the laundry self-service shop inside he market will come in handy too. We picked the place mainly because we were looking for a self-catered apartment and still wanted to be in walking distance to all the areas of the city center. The big roof terrace is one of the nicest things about the building, at our time of stay we never met any other guests there, but then the apartments did not appear fully booked either. Everything was nicely furnished, clean and very comfortable. The area is very busy, so arriving with a rental car can be a bit of a hazzle... There is no reception or staff at the location, but all questions we had were answered via the phone without any problems. The whole self-check-in process was not too clear and we were a bit anxious when we would get all details. In the end, all was fine and the door code always worked and was easy to handle. A few little details could be improved, e.g. we missed dishwashing materials, the living room space is a bit narrow if the sofa is used as a bed, the safe was locked and unclear how it works, some written instructions in general (e.g. emergency contact), the elevator was a bit unreliable. Still very good value for money and a good choice for a few days of city visiting. Overall, it seems some details and intentions have have changed a bit over the years, some of the pictures here on Tripadvisor show a "living room"-like lobby and coffee area (i.e. like you might expect in a hostel too) - this does exist, but was rarely open, not very inviting and seemed to serve more as a storage location for furniture etc. Not an issue for us though, as we had a big apartment plus the roof terrace. In low season the place appears a bit deserted, as there is no reception either that could feel a bit isolated for some guests.

Good location, walking distance from plaza de Espana and alcazar, just across the road from the river and lots of places to eat and drink. Compact apartment with everything we needed and a private roof terrace that was a little sun trap midday :-)

The decoration pretty cheap, sofa bed super uncomfortable, tv on living room open channels to Xxx channels. Nor kids friendly.
