A short walk to all the main sights, this charming b&b had spacious, well-appointed rooms. However, our room was right above the hotel's restaurant, so it was pretty noisy during mealtimes, unless you shut all the windows. But on a beautiful sunny day, who wants to do that? Make sure you ask for a room away from the restaurant. The staff are extremely helpful, above and beyond the call of duty. The receptionist called the bus company to exchange our bus tickets to Malaga (we don't speak Spanish). All in all, a good experience.

Just around the corner from a great bodega, and close to all the sights, this hotel has a lovely ambiance. Breakfasts are good, and if you stay three nights, you get a meal at the Escondito, next to the hotel. This is a mixed blessing, because you have no choice in what you get, and, on the night, the staff saw us as the last to be served. Unless you get more choice, and better service, you might be advised to go elsewhere.

We visited the Casa de los Azulejos in January 2010. This hotel is in a perfect spot to explore Cordoba - about 5-10 minutes walk to the Mesquite. It is built around a beautifully tiled, central courtyard full of plants. The room had lots of character and was named after a native plant, rather than numbered. Both the room and the beds were good size. The room had Wifi and a well appointed bathroom. I found the bed fairly firm, but am a bit of a "princess and the pea", so just put an extra blanket below the sheet and it was fine. My partner liked the bed! There was also a library in the hotel with travel guides - this is the Lonely Planet Andalucia author's choice of hotel and well deserved it! There was a computer for guests to use as well. We found the staff most helpful and friendly and the breakfast was excellent - fruit, juice, breads & pastries, cold meat and cheese. We wanted information about the Alhambra from the hotel's copy of Lonely Planet Andalucia and they photocopied about 12 pages for us - so very good service. We will be back. There is a Mexican restaurant below the hotel also with friendly staff. We got a free meal there as part of a promotion. Not mad about that food though however I am not a Mexican food fan.

I spent 3 nights here in May 2009 during the Patio Festival so the price of 120 euros (including VAT and breakfast) was higher than normal. This is an 8 room hotel and feels more like a B&B. Our room was "El Maguey". The hotel is near Plaza Corderra but only 10 minute walk to Cathedral (Mezquita). The hotel patio is lovely - in fact it was featured in the patio festival. There is no elevator but wide staircases and not difficult to carry luggage - the hotel only has 2 floors. The room was absolutely charming with a good window in bathroom (with a large windowsill for storing toiletries) and juliette balcony overlooking breakfast patio in main room. The room was not large but well designed to store away our things. Breakfast was wonderful…if they only had real jamon serrano (versus some dried flakes like bacon bits). Good bread, tomato mixture, fresh fruits & juices, cereal, yogurt, etc….Breakfast is served on the outside terrance – great way to start day.
