Seville hotels: Amadeus or Hotel Las Casas de El Arenal?
 
Has anyone stayed at Hotel Amadeus or Hotel Las Casas de El Arenal in Seville? I'm trying to decide between the two so I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. If it helps, I have booked a double room in the main building at Amadeus and a double room at Hotel Las Casas de El Arenal. Both have great reviews online. Thanks!

We stayed at Amadeus (main building) in June 2014. Excellent hotel with perfect service. Our room could have been somewhat larger, though.

For our next stay (June of this year) I have booked Las Casas de El Arenal. The reason is the price difference between the two hotels (Amadeus: 135 euro for a standard double of 14 m², Las Casas: 99 euro for a standard double of 20 m²).

I keep checking prices because another convenience of Amadeus is that there is a parking garage nearby, which is not the case at Las Casas.

Have you considered dropping the car off when you arrive in Sevilla and picking up another when you're ready to leave? Saves paying for the parking and you might even be able to afford a nicer room or hotel with the savings.

No, we definitely do not consider dropping the car. The drop-off fees (twice, since we will need to drop off the 2nd car back in Málaga) will be much higher than the parking fees. Furthermore we will loose the long-term rental benefits.
We could park in the same garage as before (close to Amadeus). We would then just have to walk 10 more minutes. Not too bad, since we usually leave our big luggage in the trunk of the car.

We also don't need a 'nicer room or hotel'. We need a hotel room just to sleep at night and the location of these two hotels is exactly where we want to be.

Thanks MyriamC, I'll be interested to see what you think of Arenal! It would be about $120 cheaper for me. I hope you'll write a review after your trip!
