Ribera de Triana Hotel

Lots of natural light floods the interesting (and somewhat odd) interior at the Ribera de Triana Hotel. Zigzag tile floors, modern armchairs, and a triangular open area makes the design stand out. Hallways are bathed in red while the breakfast buffet area is plain with white chairs and tan floors. The on-site restaurant/bar has contemporary gray, square chairs, wood and tile flooring, and uses the space well. Up on the rooftop terrace -- which has amazing river and city views -- there’s a seasonal pool and bar, Level 5th, as well as unique white furniture. A comfortable and relaxed vibe flows throughout and much of the artwork consists of large horse photos. Free newspapers are available in the lobby and there is some nice green space that surrounds the hotel. Additionally, a dock is provided for guests to arrive by boat.

The Ribera de Triana hotel sits on the Guadalquivir River and has bars, shops, public transportation, and restaurants within walking distance. The Triana Bridge, Plaza de Armas Shopping Center, and Museum of Fine Arts are under a 15-minute walk away while the Seville Airport and train station are about a 15-minute drive. Many popular destinations such as Alcazar, Giralda, and the Seville Cathedral are about a 20-minute bus ride from the hotel.

Compared to the common areas of the hotel, rooms are much more plain in design. Tan zebra print bed runners add an interesting pattern and there are large headboards made of different colored woods. Average tan drapes hang with red chairs to accent, and all rooms have brown carpet except for suites, which have hardwood flooring. Stocked minibars have many different types of drinks and snacks, and there are free newspapers, air-conditioning, trouser presses, flat-screen TVs, and in-room massages available. Upgraded rooms have large terraces with seating and floor-to-ceiling windows in addition to comfy bathrobes and slippers, coffeemakers, and jetted tubs. Rooms with delightful river and city views are also available. Bathrooms are a good size with green and tan tile as well as a decent amount of counter space. All have shower/tub combos, magnifying mirrors, Ribera de Triana hotel amenities, and bidets.

Unlike many of the hotels in the area, the Ribera de Triana Hotel offers a bunch of extras. Although the fitness center is small with artificial grass carpeting, there are huge windows with views of the river in addition to a good size hot tub and steam bath. Massages are also available. A seasonal outdoor pool on the terrace level is on the smaller side, but has a poolside bar (Level 5th) and lots of seating. Views of the city and the river can be seen from this terrace area as well.

The on-site restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and another on-site bar has classic cocktails, snacks, coffees, and teas. A traditional Mediterranean breakfast buffet is available for a fee and receives mostly good reviews. This hotel is pet-friendly, but only dogs are allowed and they incur a daily fee. There’s also a parking garage on-site, but it has a daily fee as well. Wi-Fi though, is free, and there are concierge and room services; room service has limited hours.
