We were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel, and would recommend it to other travelers. The hotel's public spaces have a very lovely old world elegance. There is a lovely sitting room filled with books and equipped with a tv. The main atrium area is filled with plants, and even has an old well in the middle of it. We were told that parts of the hotel are older than the Mezquita!

Our room had lovely wooden furniture that was in keeping with the ambiance of the hotel as a whole. The bed was one of the more comfortable ones we slept in during our trip to Spain. The bathroom was quite spacious, and the water pressure was very good in the shower. Despite the fact that our room was right off the atrium and had a window to the alley next to the hotel, it was fairly quiet and peaceful. We also enjoyed the black-out curtains for the one morning we slept in.

The staff in the hotel were very helpful in offering dining suggestions, and information about the hammam and other sights/activities. One evening, we wanted to take a bottle of wine out to the nearby bridge, and the front desk attendant very kindly offered two glasses and a corkscrew for our little late night adventure.

The location of this hotel was excellent. It is directly across the street from the Mezquita, and within a short walk to the Jewish quarter, the Calle des flores, shopping and dining. The sights in the older part of Cordoba are all very close by, and the newer parts of town (with lots of shopping) are about 20 minutes walk.

The off-season price we got online was quite affordable, and was a really great value. A good deal of our "pleasant surprise" was based on the price, as we were not expecting this caliber of hotel for what we paid.

We did try breakfast in the cafe, and were not blown away. However, it is adequate for travelers in a pinch and is conveniently located for those who need to get up and get going without a lot of fuss.

This was a great hotel, and truly our favorite of the seven hotels we stayed in during our trip. Cordoba is the smallest town in the so-called 'golden triangle of Andalucia' (Sevilla-Granada-Cordoba), and definitely worth a stop. This hotel made our stay in this lovely little town all the more enjoyable.

Definitely recommend this hotel and would come here again. The location was great! The price was very good. Concierge staff were helpful. Our room was clean. The interior of the hotel lobby spaces and our room were very nice.

Booked two rooms for only one night in November 2011. We were slightly apprehensive about booking the hotel due to the relatively low price compared to its great location as well as some of the not so great reviews on TripAdvisor. For one night, it had to be bearable we said and went ahead. What a great surprise!!!

We arrived late in the evening after a very fast train ride from Madrid, walked to the hotel from the train station. The person who checked us in was very friendly, gave us a map of the area and advised us on where we should get our tapas... "not too touristy, not expensive but great food" she said. We followed her advice and were pleased. On the following morning, we simply walked up the street, made a turn and were at the Mezquita! Hence the great location without breaking the bank.

Both of the rooms were very clean, did not smell musty at all (as one reviewer mentioned) but smelled clean. The room was somewhat warm but it was cooled quickly by a functioning air conditioner. The room that we stayed in was facing the inner courtyard and thus very quiet. The other room was facing the street but I am told it was fine as far as the street noise. The hotel had an old-world charm about it with the courtyard, objects of art displayed in the lobby and the courtyard itself. We were happy.

Upon check out we enquired about leaving our bags at the hotel since we had a full day of sight-seeing. We were told that this service was available for free. The person we dealt with was very professional; he tagged each bag and stored our bags in a luggage room. Later that day we simply walked back, picked up our bags and were on our way. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. It was unfortunate that we stayed there for only one night.

Stayed here for two nights. Room was large and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful, and gave us good recommendations for flamenco and restaurants. Excellent location at the centre of Cordoba right by the Mezquita. Good value for money, with good breakfast buffet included with price of room
