The Murillo is a 2-star hotel that was completely refurbished in 2005. The first owner was a painter and an antiques collector and that is evident in the building’s classic and exclusive decoration. You will notice suits of armour, hand-carved furniture and ceilings, as well as Andalusian tilled walls and several antiques. Although the hotel is traditional, the rooms are modern and very comfortable. The reception area is small but impressive, reminiscent of a castle and decorated with suits of armour, antique furniture and tiled floors. To the left side of the entrance there’s the seating area, which features an impressive carved wooden ceiling and is furnished with traditional Sevillian, antique furniture. In the reception area you can also find a cold drinks dispenser. The exterior of the hotel is Andalusian in style with yellow and green façade. The staff at the hotel is very friendly and helpful and speaks fluent English. This hotel represents excellent value for money, since it’s located in the Santa Cruz Quarter and has reasonable rates. As a hotel it is ideal for couples, small groups and business people who wish to be in the heart of the city.
