Casual de las Letras Sevilla Hotel by Casual Hoteles

The hotel’s book theme is charming, and the decoration really stands out. Each room seems to take inspiration from a famous book. Ours was based on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, and the attention to detail showed in the room and the shared areas. The beds were very comfortable, the linens and towels were good quality, the Rituals amenities were a great touch, and the hotel was very clean. Most of the staff were kind and helpful. A few problems really affected our stay. In room 102, a strong sewage smell kept coming from the bathroom the whole time, even with the windows open. We reported it to reception and were told there were no other rooms available and someone would look into it the next day, but nobody did. Also, the red-haired receptionist working afternoons and evenings seemed distracted by her phone and was noticeably unfriendly to us and to the other guests in our group. Sound insulation was poor too. Since this is an adapted older building, we could hear almost everything: showers, doors, conversations, coughing, and people moving around in neighboring rooms and on upper floors. Breakfast was a bit disappointing in both quality and space for guests. They served margarine instead of butter, though the coffee itself was very good.

The staff were especially kind and helpful, and we could leave our luggage there after checking out. The room and bathroom were clean, practical, and big enough. Breakfast had an adequate choice of items. It’s a pleasant little hotel in a really convenient spot, with most attractions easy to reach on foot. I’d happily recommend it.

Ale and Miguel really came through when I arrived at 10:30 at night. My direct reservation hadn’t gone through, but they stayed calm and worked with me to sort it out. Luckily, they had a bed available. I was hungry by then, so they kept my luggage and pointed me toward somewhere still serving food. I can’t praise their professional attitude enough, and I’ll remember the stay for that. The hotel has a quirky, distinctive charm and sits on a side street close to nearly everything I wanted to visit. My room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast had hot and cold options, with juice, tea, coffee, fruit, toast, and more. Adrienne did a good job keeping it stocked.

Parking takes a bit of figuring out and costs 20€ per night, so it isn’t especially cheap. The hotel staff helped us through WhatsApp, though. Good value overall, and the Setas is only a 5-minute walk away.
