| Check-in & Check-out | |
| What time can I check-in? Your room should be ready for you by 2pm on the day of your arrival (typically rooms are ready earlier). Guests arriving before this time will be made most welcome and can use the hotel's facilities until their bedroom becomes available. |
|
| When do I need to check-out? Departing guests should vacate their bedrooms by 12 noon. They can, however, continue to use the facilities until they wish to depart. If you require a later checkout please ask reception as there is an extra charge for this facility. |
|
| We will arrive before check-in, what is the provision for storing luggage? Based upon availability, the hotel will store your luggage at no charge until your check-in or after your check-out. |
|
| What documents do I need at hotel check-in? When checking into our hotel, you will need to present proof that you are the person who made the reservation. Normally this comes in the form of an identification document such as a driver's license, state ID card or passport. We require identification for two main security reasons: the first reason is to protect customers from fraudulent credit card use and theft. Requiring identification upon check-in is a way that we can ensure that a hotel room was not booked with a stolen credit card. The second reason we check identification is to protect the safety of our guests. Requiring an ID for check-in is a way to make sure that only registered, paid guests are admitted to hotel rooms, and prevents strangers or criminals from comprising the personal safety of those staying in the hotel. |
|
| Rooms | |
| Do you have hair dryers in the rooms?
No, but professional hair dryers are available from the reception desk for free. |
|
| Do you have electrical converters in the room or do we need to bring our own?
Voltage is a measure of electrical force and varies from region to region throughout the world and it will depend on what region your electrical devices come from. Thus, you will need to bring your own voltage converter. The official voltage for Spain is 230 with most electrical goods operating at around the 220 – 240 volt mark. All of Spain operates on a 2 pronged outlets. |
|
| Is there a minibar in my room?
You will not find a minibar in your room as they are noisy and unattractive, but if you need something to be refrigerated, then we have a fridge at the Desk you can use for free. |
|

| Hotel room types. The Hotel Maestranza is a listed, 100-year-old building, with a subsequent wide variety of room types and sizes. The room types used by the Hotel Maestranza are as follows: • Single room: Contains one single bed. Suitable for one person. • Twin room: Contains two single beds in the same room. Suitable for one or two people. • Double room: Contains one double bed. Suitable for one or two people. • Triple room: Three single beds, one of which may be a pull down or roll away bed, in the same room. Suitable for three people. • Double room for single use: Contains two single beds or one double bed in the same room, to be occupied by one person. • Family suite: A master double room with two twin beds with an adjoining double room with another two twin beds sharing an en suite bathroom, for a maximum of four people (or five people with an extra bed in the master room). Most hotels have twisted the definition and just give you a larger room with extra furniture and charge you more. If you have a family, it is not enough. Our definition includes a separate bedroom with a closing door inside your room, not just a half wall, a fridge or a sofa... and of course no rollaways or uncomfortable sofas. • Cot, cradle or crib: Cot, cradle or crib suitable for a child under the age of two years. Learn more about our child policy. |
|
| Breakfast | |
| Do you serve breakfast? No, we do not. While hotel prices for a common breakfast tend to be exorbitant, you are better off finding a breakfast bar locally which is a good way of experiencing the local culture. A variety of cafeterias, restaurants and bars are near by. |
|
| Laundry | |
| Does the hotel offer dry-cleaning and laundry services? No, we do not, but the Lavanderia Roma is at a stone's throw away from the hotel and offers quick and economical drop-off service (€6/load wash and dry). |
|
| Getting to the hotel - Parking | |
| How do I get to your hotel?
If coming by shuttle or taxi just tell them the name of the hotel and they will know the directions, now that's easy! If you are arriving with us by public transportation visit our Directions section. |
|
| Do you pick up from the airport?
Unfortunately we do not offer that service at this time. We recommend visiting our Directions section. |
|
| Do you offer parking?
While a car is not recommended to explore the city (as with all areas of central Sevilla, parking is very limited and all monuments and sites are easily accessed on foot from the hotel), should you arrive by car there is parking available in a nearby garage (approx. 40 metres from the hotel; garage charges per day rates). Alternatively, metered street parking can also be found in surrounding streets, although there is no guarantee of available street parking. We recommend returning your rental car when you get to Seville and taking a taxi to the hotel. You do not need a car while you are in and around the hotel. It will be cheaper, easier, and much, much less stressful. |

Important notice: AOL, Earthlink, Yahoo, ..., may regard email from many non-spamming sites as Undeliverable in their effort to control spam.
