I love Hostal La Fuente. The location is really good, about ten to fifteen minutes walking distance away from the Mosque. It's easy to find since I walked all the way from the train station to the place, through the downtown shopping center. There is also a bus stop close to the place that can take you to the train station directly. A lot of really good restaurants nearby and some are strongly recommended either by tripadvisor or LP. I tried two, cheap and delicious! Also, I stayed there in early May when Cordoba was having its annual patio contest. There were two lines close to the Hostal so I rested a little bit during my trip between switching the lines. PS. Strongly recommend the patio contest. I truly love it!
For the Hostal itself, the young lady working at the front desk speaks pretty good English, and gave me several tips, but the gentleman did not speak English at all. But it didn't give me too many problems. The room is big enough and very clean with big TV. I stayed on the first floor and did not find it noisy at all. A lot of families stayed here so people are friendly. The only downside I can think is that wifi is only available in the public area, which means every time I tried to surf on the internet, I had to come out.
