Hotel Amadeus, Seville

Pros

• As a family-owned hotel, don't be surprised if you chat with a friendly owner at some point during your stay.
• The hotel is a converted 18th-century Sevillian mansion, which becomes obvious as you explore the grounds and notice all the different rooms, nooks, and crannies, plus iron doors and staircases, unique tiling, and wood-beamed ceilings.
• The decor channels classical music, and you'll notice hints of this theme all around the hotel, as Amadeus was Mozart's middle name.
• From the rooftop terrace, you can order drinks at the bar, enjoy the Cathedral and Giralda views, take a dip in the saltwater pool (heated in the winter), or soak in the hot tub.
• Enjoy a daily breakfast buffet in the hotel's charming dining room.
• Some rooms have in-room soaking tubs or private terraces.
• The hotel is in a great location, just five minutes walking from the Catedral de Seville, about 10 minutes from the Royal Alcázar, and 15 to Plaza de España.

Cons

• Past guests have complained of ants and bugs in the room. 
• Breakfast service can be slow.

Family-Friendliness

The Hotel Amadeus is family-friendly, and some suites are ideal for families. However, with all the delicate musical instruments on display and the lack of amenities for kids, the hotel caters more to adult travelers. 

Other Highlights

Enjoy getting "lost" in all the lounges and lush courtyards that the hotel restored, or if you’re musically inclined, you can access the music room with musical instruments you can play.
