Casa Triana 1888 Suites is the self-catering option in this selection. It stands at Calle Castilla 29, in the heart of Triana's lively eating and drinking district, and offers apartment-style suites rather than hotel rooms. The booking page lists four types: an interior apartment of about 441 square feet, a ground-floor patio apartment of about 624 square feet, a ground-floor city-view duplex of about 431 square feet and a penthouse of about 657 square feet with a terrace. Each has one bedroom and sleeps four, which makes the property well suited to families and small groups who want space and a kitchen. It is classed as three and a half on rather than with a star rating, and guest scores average about nine point four out of ten. The facilities include an outdoor pool open from late morning to half past eight in the evening, a rooftop terrace, a kitchen in the apartments, free wifi, air conditioning, outdoor space, an elevator and tour and ticket assistance. There is no restaurant and no breakfast, and no parking, so plan to eat in the neighbourhood, which is full of choice. The Cathedral is about sixteen minutes on foot, and the Giralda within a mile, with the Puente de Isabel II giving a direct walk across the river. Check-in is from three and check-out is at eleven, with late check-out available for a fee. The property is smoke-free and allows service animals only.
Who it suits
Families, small groups and longer stays, where the space, the kitchen and the pool matter more than a restaurant and room service. It suits travellers who like to shop in the Mercado de Triana and cook a meal, and those who want to live in the neighbourhood. It is less suited to travellers who want a daily breakfast, a front desk with a restaurant or parking.
Living in it
Pick the apartment type for your group, from the interior apartment to the penthouse with a terrace, and use the pool in the afternoon and the rooftop terrace in the evening. The Mercado de Triana is a short walk for groceries and tapas, Calle Castilla is lined with bars, and flamenco venues are close by. Walk across the Puente de Isabel II to reach the Arenal and the Cathedral in about a quarter of an hour.
Value
The apartments sleep four, so the price per person for a family or a group of friends can be lower than two hotel rooms, and the kitchen saves on restaurant meals. Rates rise during Holy Week and the April Fair, and the Calle Castilla area is lively on weekend nights, so ask for an upper floor if you want quiet. Breakfast is not included.
