El Rey Moro or Casa 1800 in Seville?

Posted by michelleassay on 01/07/26 04:25 AM

We have a bit of dilemma for choosing hotels.
In Seville I need to choose between El Rey Moro and Casa1800. Prices are only about 50 euros in total different. El Rey offers free city tour. CASA has free afternoon tea. They both have excellent reviews. Any experience? We are going soon and there may be rainy days. Where would be best for rainy days?
If you can also advise on Caireles vs NH Palacio in Cordoba? This time there's a more significant price difference but one is a two star the other a 4.

And please Granada: Casa de Trinidad? Pasedo del Toro? Sercotel Gamboa or Room mate Leo. Apart from Pasedo prices are similar

Thanks so much

We stayed at El Rey Moro and liked it very much. Great location, clean property and friendly staff. Our room was small, but likely, we picked the least expensive option. Breakfast was excellent with eggs and coffee prepared by staff and a buffet of other breakfast items.

In Granada we stayed at Hotel Anacapri and liked it very much. We booked directly mentioning the RS guidebook and were given a large room and free breakfast.

I've stayed at El Rey Moro for a 3 night stay in Seville, and liked it very much, too. I was happy with my room, thought the breakfast offerings were quite good, and enjoyed the interior courtyard. Liked the location in a pedestrian area.

Casa 1800 is disgusting. Don't stay there! Mercer is lovely.

Dear all. Thanks for all the replies. We had a wonderful time in Andalucia - our only regret is that it was only eight days overall. We stayed at El Rey Moro in the end. We had higher expectations from the room size and amenities as it was a four-star hotel. But the staff were lovely. The noise issue kept us awake one night but they compensated for it by offerng us free breakfast. Also there was an issue with the door handle of the washroom which was outright dangerous - it came out when I was in. So if my husband wasn't in the room I would have been locked in for all day! I reported it but up until our departure it hadn't been fixed. It's an old building and with its charm comes such caveats. But the service was immaculate and the setting and location are gorgeous. You get the feeling of being in a family rather than a corporate. So I think if we return, I would choose it again but I will make sure to get a larger room. To be honest noisy inconsiderate neighbours are not the hotel's fault - they had an extended lovemaking session until about 3 a.m. followed by two hours of pillow talk, all of which we heard! This was after we had called the front desk and they had been asked to quiet it down. Just hope we get better neighbours nex time; or older less viral ones! We absolutely loved Seville. I left a big part of my heart there.
