This small 2** hotel is situated only yards away from the Mesquita/Cathedral and is within easy walking distance of all the attractions of the old town. Like most old moorish/spanish buildings it is built around a central courtyard where breakfast is taken. Our room was clean and comfortable and we had a safe which cost 2euros a day for the key. We didn't have a fridge and considering the temperature outside was 40c, it would have been nice to have one. The room was air conditioned so we slept well. There are two downsides to this hotel: 1) The very basic breakfast which is orange juice, coffee, toast and jam or pate. Because we were in a party of 22 people we were asked to all come down to breakfast together which was somewhat chaotic. We had to queue and then as they had no trays, the various elements of the breakfast had to be carried in relays to the table. Someone needs to give them some organisational advice! 2) Because the hotel is in a very narrow side street coaches cannot park anywhere near, so luggage has to be trundled a long way across the bridge and up to the hotel - not good if you have a large case and it is very hot. Because we were such a large group the hotel did meet our coach and transport our luggage in their van, which was a relief, but I don't know if they would do this for individuals. However if you are wanting a quaint budget hotel and want to do all your eating in local restaurants then this hotel is quite adequate.

While its site, only 50 yards from the corner of the Cordoba mosque could not be more convenient for tourists like us, Los Omeyas has little else to recommend it. This is particularly true if you are driving and in need of the hotel parking: this is three long blocks away, in a dark cellar, down a precipitous and sharply-spiraling ramp--and not only that, there is so little room that wedging even our small Skoda in its space made exit from the car possible from only the driver's side. (The street, Encarnacion is so narrow that approaching the only entrance to the hotel, it is impossible to open the car doors for the encroaching walls on either side. Fine for foot traffic but for drivers, a nerve-wracking, tire-rubbing challenge.) Though clean, the rooms are very bare, bringing to mind budget motels on lonesome highways in the upper Midwest--albeit one with white marble floors. There was a recurrent smell of natural gas in the bathroom: after shrugs from the front desk clerk, we slept with the windows cracked widely. The breakfast (on a B&B policy) is meager at best and taken in a windowless, charmless room adjacent to the functional lobby. The staff was young and affected a clueless demeanor, discouraging even the simplest requests for advice, assistance etc. My wife and I--and the couple with us--would advise Cordoba visitors to investigate other places to stay.

Loved this little hotel! Great location steps away from the Mezquita and walking distance to many other attractions. Clean and safe. Maybe a little bit outdated with the bedding, etc but fits the area. Front desk staff were all very helpful with directions and recommendations but would not make a call for us to book a Hammam bath.

Rude, unfriendly staff. Extremely noisy all night and early morning. Poor quality breakfast. All in all a most unpleasant experience. The only saving grace was it's location near the Mesquita and historic section.
