“Somewhat flawed, but a good place to stay”

I have been remiss in not reporting my experience at the Palacio as I usually review Trip Advisor before I make choices, and so, I know it is a valuable recource.
After months of trying to book at an establishment featured in Vogue magazine last summer, also in Cazalla, and having no success in pinning down actual costs and availabilities from this property (even after countless emails and two international calls), I found a Traveler magazine report from 2003 giving the Palacio high marks. In fact, it was suggested that this was the competitor to the place I originally wanted to stay at.
After only three emails in one week, I had a reservation to my liking with all my questions answered.
The Palacio is not easy to find (we drove by it three times) because it blends into the architecture, and unlike what Frommer's states, it is not a converted Palace, it is a converted Church. It is located only yards from the "round about" into Cazalla.
The rooms are every much as they appear on the Website. My travel mates were thrilled with their "Torerro" room, and I was satisfied with the "Grabados". These were stunning and "over the top" rooms, although I would like to have had the "Frederick" room as this is my maiden name.
As to service...this is a small Hotel in a VERY SMALL town. One is not quite waited on "hand and foot", but god forbid you ask a question, someone will be called,even in the middle of the night. This is not a luxury hotel, no one will be there for your "beck and call",but if you can "go with the flow", your needs will be fulfilled.
Overall, this place is a gem.

“looked good but......”

When we looked at the web site we felt that we had found somewhere special, the site make the hotel look far better than it is. When we arrived we were met by the manager wearing jeans !!! the rooms are ok but not as good as they looked on the web site. We had booked dinner for 9pm so decided to have a shower about 8pm and the water was cold, I spoke to the manager who told us it was because of the time of year !!!!!!!!!! (it was may 1 2005) i take it they had solar heating, but it had been about 30c most of the day, we went down for dinner and was met by a spanish spaeakin waiter the English speaking manager had gone home, when the food arrived it was luke warm, I tried to explain this (my Spanish is not that good but i knew I was saying the right things frio after all is Spanish for cold) they did not understand. Again the water in the morning was cold and so was the breakfast apart from the tea that was made with HOT milk, we could not wait to leave the cost of the stay including dinner was 320 euros !. the hotel itself is a very interesting place but the service and food was poor that are far better hotels in Seville itself.
