6. Location & Accessibility
CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés boasts an excellent and central location in Seville.

- Wardrobe Space: One guest noted a limited wardrobe space in their room, describing it as a "30cm rail attached to a wall and a 1m length shelf" which was considered "unacceptable in a hotel of your standard."
