We stayed at Hostal Lineros for two nights. We had a double room with en suite which cost £70 a night. I would say that this was overpriced. It was very wet and rainy in Cordoba during our stay and the room felt damp. The walls had evidence of previous damp (bubbled and flaking paintwork). It also smelt musty.

The bed was very creaky and not particularly comfortable and the whole place made me feel a bit grubby. The bathroom had seen better days but was functional.

On the plus side, the lady who greeted us on arrival was very helpful and could speak good English - other members of staff could not. She suggested some restaurants to go to for dinner and we went to one - Taverna Salinas. It was really nice and very close to the hotel. The service was excellent. The wine we had was great and the complimentary sherry was the best we have tasted. The food was reasonably priced too.

Overall the hotel felt in need of a facelift and refurbishment. It could be a great hotel if some money was invested in it.

We booked the hotel with our friends. It was very hard to find because the city is all one-way and the map on the hotels web site was not clear.
When we arrived we were shown to a room in the second building on the third floor, the room was big enough only for the wooden bed and the bathroom had only 2 sq.meters. It had a window which looked on to a hole where the heating boiler was and when you opened it it hit the table and chair. We tried to sleep on the wooden bed and couldn't as it creaked every time you moved. The room was incredibly hot and there was a small tv on the ceiling which to watch you had to put your head out of the bed. The bathroom door was so thin and every time you wanted to go to the toilet, it scraped along the floor and made a huge noise.
I normally can stay in pretty basic places but this was so claustrophobic, the next morning we packed our bags at 8am and checked out (we moved to a much nicer basic Hotel Marisa by the Mezquita). Our friends couldn't sleep either but when they asked to check out (at 10.30! am) they were told they would be charged for the night as they had booked for 2 nights. Unheard off. The staff was quite unfriendly and when they didn't have any car parking, they had to take out 5 cars in order to get ours out on Sunday morning, which took around 20 minutes. It is also very expensive as they charge 55eurosfor this closet size room with no service and if you complain the try to sell you a bigger room for 80Euros!

This hostal is much more like a hotel. Beautiful and unique rooms with private baths and traditional Spanish-Muslim decore makes this place stunning. Air conditioning was very helpful and the staff was super sweet. Highly recommended.

The hotel is situated in the narrow cobbled streets about 10 minutes walk from the centre of the old town. The rooms are nicely decorated in Moorish style, though the bathroom was a little strange in that it was ensuite but was sort of if the bedroom cordoned off by a glass screen. Everything was perfectly clean, though the room was a little dark. There are a couple of bars nearby and although there was no noise from them, I was often awoken by people walking home and talking quite loudly. (I had the window open,and was on the ground floor) if closed I doubt this would have been a problem. The rooms have A/C too, so closing the window wouldnt be a problem even in summer.
In summary, I good budget choice, with unusual decor and well situated.
