Your room should be ready for you by 2pm on the day of your arrival (typically rooms are ready earlier). Should you arrive really early in the morning, the only way to guarantee a place on arrival is to book a room for the night before.

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.

• Family suite: Ideal for families and large groups, the suite includes a master double room with two twin beds with an adjoining double twin-bedded room sharing an ensuite 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, bunk beds or uncomfortable sofas.

• Cot, cradle or crib: Cot, cradle or crib suitable for a child under the age of two years for free (on request and availability and maximum one per room). No free extra bed (or rollaway) is provided for a child in normal cases. In case you require an extra bed for your child, the three person rate applies.

Breakfast

Please note that while we do not serve breakfast at the hotel, there are various lovely restaurants and eateries within walking distance. Eating out for breakfast is one of the joys of a stay in Seville!

Getting to the hotel - Parking

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.
Unfortunately we do not offer that service at this time. We recommend visiting our Directions section.
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 parking garage (approx. 7 minute walk from the hotel, at Paseo de Colon). Parking garage is not affiliated with our hotel and 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.
For your convenience, we have a special Loading/Unloading zone directly in front of our lobby entrance on the Gamazo Street side of our hotel. You may use this spot for a few minutes at time of check-in and check-out in order to move your luggage from your car to your room and back again.

Laundry

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.

Booking process / Credit cards

All reservations are subject to availability at the time of confirming your booking. Once you send us a request, our booking department will process it and send you as soon as possible an e-mail explaining how to book. Please note this is on a first-come-first-served basis and that we do not hold any space prior to final confirmation. It is still your responsibility to check your e-mail box in case of any last minute communication.
Yes, we require a credit card for all online reservations. This guarantees your room until your arrival date. Your credit card will not be charged until you arrive at the hotel unless we require prepayment or a deposit prior.
We are committed to helping protect our clients from credit card fraud, so please keep in mind that in case you opted to pay in advance for your reservation, you will have to show us the credit card given to prepay and a valid photo ID or passport at your arrival at the hotel in order to provide credit card verification..

If the reservation was payed in advance and the credit card holder is not travelling, we will refund the deposit to the credit card provided at the time of reservation and the staying guest will have to pay in full for the entire stay as reserved at the time of check-in and no refunds or credits will be issued.

Again this is to combat credit card fraud so do not throw a tantrum to the front desk staff for making sure your credit card is not a stolen one.
Our online Reservation Form offers a secure method of sending your credit card data (secure server). Regular email is not secure. You may email it if you like... it is up to you.
The hotel room reservation process through hotelmaestranza.es is safe and secure. Once you enter your personal and credit card information, your online reservation is processed through a secure computer server. The personal information you enter is encrypted to keep it protected while in transit.
Providing the e-mail address you gave was correct, you should hear from us in a day. Sometimes -especially during public holidays or over weekends- responses may take longer than usual. Please be patient.
AOL, Hotmail, Earthlink, Yahoo, ..., may regard email from many non-spamming sites as undeliverable in their effort to control spam. If you do not get a reply from us about your request, this is most likely the reason. We strongly recommend you use an alternate email address or place sevilla@hotelmaestranza.es in your address book. Should you have a bulk mail or spam folder, you may want to check this in case your mail service provider incorrectly identifies our email to you as unwanted.

Cancellation policies

Conditions may vary from booking to booking depending on the length of the stay and the season. Please refer to your reservation confirmation to verify your cancellation policy.

All the guests are strongly advised to take out a comprehensive Travel Insurance Policy that covers hotel cancellation costs. In the unfortunate event that you have to cancel your booking here we will not take any responsibility due to bad weather, medical problems, lost luggage, airline staff strikes and the like.
