I was not going to write a review of a short stay in this hotel until I read the earlier review by someone known as "idontneedaname" in a location called "ubiquitous". That name and location is enough to make me feel that the review is probably not worth reading. However I also see that "idontneedaname" has onl;y posted one item on TA - yes - the review of this hotel ! I would be interested to read what else this visitor has to say.
Now my review. We stayed in room 204 - a double - for the night of 14th November and the total cost was Euros 83,46.
The reception staff (a young man) was pleasant and helpful and answered any question in good English. The room and public areas were clean and could not be faulted. The room itself was quite spacious and certainly plenty large enough for 2 people. There was a very generous wardrobe which could easily accommodate 2 persons clothes for a longer stay. In fact after our first night we asked to stay one more night, as we had not finished all the sightseeing, and were told apologetically that the hotel was fully booked that Friday night & weekend.
The bathroom was quite good with a shower closet not too small and with excellent water pressure. The hotel seemed to have been built or maybe modernised in the past few years so fittings were good.
The position of the hotel is in my opinion good. It is very close to the central square in Cordoba where there is an Information booth. The man in charge was able to point us in the direction of a local restaurant called El Pisto on nearby San Miguel square that turned out to be just what we wanted. A good Spanish 'square meal' at reasonable cost.
Actually right next to the hotel is an Italian restaurant that looked very tempting. The coffee shop at the entrance to the hotel served a splendid morning coffee and was just what was needed before walking the few hundred metres from the hotel down the hill to the Mezquita. So location wise, this hotel was well placed being between the older part of Cordoba and the newer part. They also have a car park directly behind the hotel which is marked off the road leading to the square - which is called Plaza de las Tendillas. Not sure about the cost but likely to be in the 12 Euro sort of range.
