I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights earlier this week. I am an Englishman living in the Czech Republic with extensive travel experience having stayed in the best and the worst hotels worldwide. Also, I lived in Spain for more than 5 years and have seen both sides, the good and bad of this city.
The Monte Triana was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in. My reasons:
The location is perfect, literally a 10 minute walk and you are at the bullring (the previous comment from the LA girl who said its half an hour is ridiculous, she must have been walking backwards with her eyes closed!) and its at the quiet end of a busy street in the Triana area. Triana has some of the best bars and genuine Spanish nightlife in the city.
The price was fantastic, myself and my friend paid only 55 euros for a double room each per night, only just over twice the price of a cheap youth hostel in the city. (You would pay a minimum of 100 euros per night across the river in the centre where you wouldnt get much sleep due to the traffic and the tourists) For this price I got an almost newly renovated, immaculately clean room with a nice shower and lcd tv. It was such a nice feeling after 3 weeks of travelling Spain to come back to this room for a siesta knowing that I would get a peaceful sleep.
The staff were the nicest and friendliest in all of the hotels I stayed in on my trip. Really professional and were always willing to help, especially the girl who booked myself and my friend a taxi for our evening flight, she was so helpful.
Overall, for the price you will not get better in Sevilla. Any complaints on here are probably from people who want the Ritz for 50 euro per night or are the type of people who want everything the same as in the USA (starbucks and Mcdonalds) and are not willing to experience the local culture of a country. Within 200 metres of this hotel you will find some of the best and cheapest tapas in Sevilla and eat with locals.
Again, you will not find a better hotel for the price in the whole of Spain and I would recommend it to anybody. I return to Sevilla every 2 months and from now on I will always stay in this hotel!
