Hotel berhampiran University of Cordoba (Spain), Cordoba

El hotel está muy bien. Destaco la relación calidad-precio. Doy un dato clave para nosotros ha sido fundamental. Está pegado al rectorado de la universidad de Córdoba, donde hay una cafetería donde el trato es genial, y se desayuna por 2€ y se come por 6€ (primero, segundo y postre). La ubicación del hotel no es céntrica pero el núcleo duro de la ciudad de Córdoba está a 10' de paseo.

Spent 3 nights at this hotel which is rated as 5* - a rating I don’t have any issue with. The building exterior and interior are all architecturally ‘brutal’. All surfaces are manufactured from hard materials (tile, glass, steel) - the exterior is clad in rusted steel. This type of design appeals to me so I quite liked the fact that everything had an industrial, clean cut practical feel. Location wise it sits at the end of a long well maintained park/gardens with orange trees aplenty which stretch from the railway station to the hotel and which is bordered and truncated with main roads. The downside of this is that traffic noise is evident despite the rooms being well glazed etc. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable with jacuzzi bath, two showers, double basins and separate toilet/bidet. Very helpful staff, great facilities including a nice rooftop pool, bar and sunbathing area. Breakfast was really good and well organised and there is a large enclosed courtyard which is partially covered with seating. The hotel is located within a 10 minute stroll from all the main historic attractions and extensive number of restaurants and Tabernas. Have no hesitations in recommending this hotel and would return without doubt.

We stayed at the AC Hotel Cordoba for one night during our stop in Cordoba. The hotel is located close to Cordoba train station and easily accessible by foot within 2-3 minutes. The main historical sites of the city are a good 10-15 minutes away by foot. Check-in was quick and the receptionist also gave us very useful tips in relation to the “Fiesta de los Patios” and furnished us with the necessary maps to explore. Our room was located on the second floor facing the road. I would definitely recommend asking for a room facing the back as we experienced some noise pollution from the traffic as the road can get very busy. The room has a nice contemporary interior and very comfortable bed and a nice clean, modern bathroom. Coffee making facilities in form of Nespresso machine are also in to room. My wife also required an iron, which was quickly delivered by staff upon request. Overall, we enjoyed our short stay at the AC Hotel Cordoba.

A good hotel in the very historical center of Cordoba (within the historical walls of the medina). All my wishes were fulfilled, the hotel staff showed themselves from the best side. My experience tells me that often hotels located in historical buildings have problems with electricity or water pressure in the bath, but not this time: in this hotel all electrical appliances and plumbing worked perfectly. I will mention the only problem: the Internet. We had three devices, and one of them could not connect to the hotel Wi-Fi. We encountered the same problem in another NH hotel - in Seville. I recommend that the technical specialists of this hotel chain check the compatibility of the Internet equipment with devices that are five years old or more.

Ein zwar nicht riesiges, aber schönes Zimmer in dem faszinierenden Boutique-Hotel LAS CASAS DE LA JUDERIA in Cordoba. Toll gelegen iom Zentrum, in den engen Gassen des ehemaligen Judenviertels. Viele unterschiedliche Zimmer mit mehreren verspielten und unterschiedlichen Innenhöfen. Stilvoll gestaltete Zimmer. Einziges Manko: nur wenig Beleuchtung in den Zimmern, die Lampen so dezent dass Dämmerlicht resultiert, feine Lämpchen beleuchten dezent die Wandbilder, aber das heisst zum Lesen oder Stadtplanstudieren ist es schwierig. Wir können dieses Hoitel nur empfehlen. Morgenessen nahmen wir in einem nahegelegenen Caffee zu günstigerem Preis. Wegen unserer Anreise per Auto benutztemn wir das Parkhaus ”Parking La Mezquita” um die Ecke (zum Preis von 18 Euro/Tag), dh nur 150 entfernt und bestens erreichbar, auch mit dem Rollkoffer. Das Hotel liegt ganz nah zur Hauptsehenswürdigkeit La Mezquita von Córdoba, bei der die (separat zu bezahlende und zeitlich fixierte) Turmbersteigung einen tollen Blick auf die Stadt gewährt und trotz der etwas anstrend hohen Treppenstufen unbedingt empfehlenswert ist.

Great stay at the hotel was augmented by the fantastic staff. We had interactions with three different women, all very helpful and very nice. Our first encounter was over the phone trying to find the hotel, GPS wasn’t cooperating. The room was very nice with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast is a typical buffet style with a wide variety of food. Welcome bottle of Cava was a nice surprise. The hotel is close to the Roman columns and a 10 minute walk to the river area. It’s a small hotel, so it’s a quiet place. Parking was a nightmare for me. The maze of streets and poor Google map literally had me driving in circles for an hour. I never found the garage 500 meters away even with the directions from the staff. I ended up in a garage 10 minutes away but easier to get to.

Stayed at the Tivoli in Lisbon which was a 5* and fulfilled expectations even though the hotel itself felt dated in the décor, the room, however, was spacious and well-appointed, and the dining room sumptuous with personable service. Arrived at the Palacio del Bailio, a 5* in Córdoba, expecting similar excellence, and was grossly disappointed. The reception personnel was efficient, but rather soulless. Some of the dining room staff did not feel like they should be working in a 5* hotel. They banged plates and dropped cutlery in a rather careless manner, chat loudly to each other, and projected an unsophisticated service style. The spa was marketed a lot more interesting than it actually was. The spa staff was strangely confused about our bookings and took a while to sort timing and treatments out, and the roman bath experience that looked so intriguing on their website turned out to be just 3 pools of differing temperatures and very little else in terms of amenities. Our room, basic level that it is, was fine except the goofy bathroom. It had two showers, one standalone and one attached to the bathtub. Problem is, the standalone shower took up half of the real estate on the toilet side, which means you have to be very thin and very small to get into the toilet stall. We are small folks, and still I banged my knees against the glass partition when I sit down and cracked my forehead when I stand up. Never had I to sit on the toilet on an angle with my legs half out of the stall door, just so I don’t bruise assorted body parts. A new experience never to be repeated. The sinks were also stylish-looking, but extremely impractical. Very little space to put anything, and no way to plug the drain so I don’t accidentally flush my contacts away. The hot water was iffy at times and took a long while to get warm let alone hot. A lot of water wasted just waiting for the hot water to come out. Overall an okay to frustrating stay, certainly not what 5* should be.

El hotel esta ubicado justo enfrente de la Mezquita. Se va andando a todas partes. Evidentemente es un edificio histórico remodelado. El patio interior está fenomenal. En cuanto a las habitaciones no son muy grandes pero están muy bien y todo muy limpio y cuidado. El servicio en general estupendo, muy amables todos. 100% recomendable para visitar Córdoba.

We had only one night to spend in Córdoba, so I wanted to be near the Mezquita and the old Roman bridge. The Hesperia fit that bill. We reserved a room with view. Unfortunately, trees blocked the view of the bridge from our room, but we still could see across the tree-filled riverbed to the Mezquita and past Córdoba to the mountains beyond. I am glad we requested the view room, despite the trees. I also enjoyed ”people-watching” from our room, as some tour buses dropped people off nearby, and we could watch people walk along the large pedestrian sidewalk opposite the street. We treated ourselves to some drinks at the rooftop bar in the evening, too, and the view from the bar was spectacular! The mojitos the bartender made for us were fresh and delicious as well. I especially enjoyed being able to walk across the Roman bridge to the Mezquita. Even in the rain, someone was playing music on the bridge, and a passerby in front of us started dancing. The next morning, I walked back to the bridge to visit the museum in the tower on our side of the river (which was well worth the small admission fee) and the bridge area was just delightful with music and so many people out enjoying the day. The breakfast we had included was quite good, with multiple stations of foods and beverages, including a peach juice which my daughter and I loved. The room itself was clean and in good shape, with a large window facing the river and town. It originally had 2 twin beds pushed beside each other, but when I sat on mine and leaned against the wall, the bed moved, so I realized it was on wheels and it was easy to move the beds apart from each other, which was nice. A kettle was provided, so we enjoyed some tea as well as some sodas we were able to keep cool in the mini fridge. The tub was pretty deep, so my daughter treated herself to a bath in it. Also, I was surprised to find a nice restaurant in the building next door to the Hesperia. So even though the Hesperia is not on the Mezquita side of the river, we did not have to go far for a nice meal out! All in all, I can recommend this hotel for the good service we received from the front desk workers, the bartender, the housekeepers, and breakfast people, as well as for its convenient location and views.

Es un hotel ideal para viajar a Cordoba en coche, porque en los alrededores se puede encontrar aparcamiento con más facilidad que en el centro. El hotel es correcto para un 4 estrellas, aunque sin grandes lujos. Personal amable y correcto en todo y buen desayuno para empezar bien el día. Veniamos a visitar Cordoba y un pueblo de los alrededores y el sitio nos pareció bueno y muy práctico para este tipo de viaje.
