Hotel is directly across the street from the Mezquita. Couldn’t find a closer hotel. Hotel was satisfactory & staff was very friendly. Stayed 3 nights. First night we had a room that overlooked the street & the Mezquita. Was very noisy & we got little sleep. Moved the next morning to a room in the rear & it was very quite – thankfully. Very difficult to find if you’re driving. We finally hired a taxi to lead us to the hotel. Parking was right next door to the hotel. Highly recommend The Passion and Spirit of Andalusian Horse show about 6 blocks from the hotel.

Stayed at the Hotel Marisa recently, luckily only for one night. This is bare bones. Small room. Smelled bad. Horrible bathroom. Street noise all night. Could not imagine staying anywhere much worse. It was clean at least.

We checked into the hotel on a Saturday morning, as we had to move from our other hotel "Lineros 38" (which was very bad and the bed was awful). The owner was at the desk and he had rooms free, The room looked right onto the Mezquita and was very simple but large. The staff were very friendly, nothing was a problem and we felt very welcome. The bathroom was large, and had a bath, and plenty of hot water. For 40Euros per night it was great value.

We also agree with Frommers, the Marisa is a great bargain. It's a very cute and old hotel right in the center of the tourist activities of the old part of Cordoba. Our air conditioning was adequate and we were there during a heat wave. It was basic, reasonably comfortable and clean. This is for those who want cute and a flavor of old Spain. If you want a five star hotel with all modern conveniences, you won't be happy here but we liked it.
