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.
