The 128-room Hotel Zenit Sevilla is a budget property located in the Triana quarter of Seville, a 15-minute walk from the heart of the city's Jewish quarter. Situated on the west bank of the Guadalquivir, the hotel sits in a lively pedestrian area with a village-like feel; there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the neighboring streets. Rooms are slightly dark and old fashioned, but are good value. The property has a tiny fitness center, rental bikes, and parking for a fee. The hotel can sometimes get crowded with organized groups, but there is free Wi-Fi and lots of space to lounge in the large lobby.
Scene
Mid-size budget hotel, popular with tourists and traveling groups
The Hotel Zenit Sevilla has a five-story, yellow stucco exterior which opens up onto a small concrete plaza. There is an ample lobby with wood beamed ceilings inset with Andalusian tiles and a lot of space for lounging on dusky lavender couches. Groups and tourists are the most frequent guests. The atmosphere overall is relaxed, though the organized groups can sometimes give this hotel a crowded feel.
Location
In the pedestrian area of Triana, 15 minutes walking to main tourist area of Seville
Situated a few blocks from the Puente de Isabel, this hotel sits on the west bank of the Guadalquivir, and about a 15-minute walk to the Jewish quarter on the other side of the river. The surrounding neighborhood, Triana, is a pedestrian-friendly area with a village-like feel to the streets. A market, the small square of Plaza del Altozano, the nightlife offerings of Calle Betis, and the San Jacinto commercial walkway are all within 10 minutes on foot. There is a bus stop three blocks from the hotel that gives direct access to downtown and other parts of the east bank; the airport is accessible via the same stop, with a single transfer (one- and a-half hour total travel time).
Rooms
Slightly dark and small rooms, but comfortable, outfitted with wood furniture and some Andalusian touches
Dark red and mint green constitute the slightly unusual wall color choices here; engineered wood floors, wrought iron lamps, and carved dark wood furniture add an elegant touch to the slightly dark atmosphere in these rooms, which have a number of sconce lights throughout, though not a lot of natural light. Larger rooms have a separate living area. Small bathrooms have a shower/tub combo and decorative prefab Andalusian style tiling. All rooms have a hairdryer, a makeup mirror, choice of pillows, air-conditioning, a digital safe, and a minibar stocked with non alcoholic drinks. Larger rooms have bathrobes.
Features
Tiny but bright fitness center, lots of meeting space, and underground parking
A marble-lined restaurant with vaulted ceilings and recessed lighting serves slightly overpriced but decent food, according to most guests. There is a tiny, brightly lit fitness center with a handful of exercise machines, underground parking that offers spots for a daily fee, lots of room to lounge in the lobby, and a number of meeting rooms that are popular with groups. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
