Hotel Pemandangan Gunung di Cordoba

Fancy a tea or coffee when you wake up? You can't have one: No tea or coffee-making facilities in your room. A swim before breakfast in the lovely on-site outdoor pool? You can't have one. The pool doesn't open until 1130. Something to eat? The buffet breakfast spread was plentiful and varied, but staff couldn't keep up with replenishment. At supper in the evening the classic ”rice, pork, chicken and seasonal mushroom” wasn't to my taste. Sweet and tomato-ey, and the mushroom element was elusive. Perhaps it's meant to be like that. My companion was happy with his pork tenderloin on a bed of potato. Convenience dictated that we eat there a second time, and on that occasion my steak and his hake were excellent. There was, though, a huge amount of nonsense about our choice of wine, exactly the same Rioja Crianza, listed as the house red, as we'd had two nights earlier. Never before in my life have I known a server be so difficult, or one in an international hotel be prepared to speak neither English nor French. Be ready to be assertive, or perhaps just eat elsewhere! The room was good even if a little bit tired: spacious, clean, excellent bathroom, toiletries and towelage, huge well-linened bed. Gloomy, with only mood-lighting, so if you have senior eyes and need to read print or lace your shoes, use the bathroom! The public areas are pleasant and airy, the terraces and view delightful. Although it's in a very fine location, this particular parador is not itself one of the characterful heritage buildings for which the group is so well-known. Reception staff are knowledgeable and helpful, particularly in booking taxis. If you intend to use this hotel do check carefully meal and pool timetables. There IS an indoor pool and fitness centre available to guests, apparently year-round, but you have to book and then walk 300m offsite. And the outdoor pool is blissful: Above all, there is no piped music. Our three-night stay was intended to offer some relaxation and refreshment between sightseeing trips, but it didn't work entirely well for me. I had never stayed in a parador before and trusted the brand's reputation for excellence in all aspects of hospitality. Disappointing.

Charming surrounding with lot of nature, located up on the hill in quiet area (at least it was quiet during our short stay). It has also playground area for kids, nice restaurant with lovely garden and outdoor swimming pool (open during the season). Hotel is for those with a car who prefer not staying in a city center. It was clean, breakfast (buffet) was decent. Stuff was polite and the lady at reception even gave us useful tipps for parking in a city center and sightseeing.

생각보다 너무 좋았어요! 깨끗하고 위치 좋고 혼자 묵기에 딱좋은 크기의 방이었고 호텔 자체가 썩 괜찮았는데 다만, 방의 위치가 복도 쪽에 창문이 있어서 커텐을 계속 치고 있어야한다는 것과 방음이 썩 좋지 않다는 것, 호텔 맞은 편이 공사중이어서 좀 삭막했다는 것. 호텔 외관과 내부가 많이 달라서 체크인 전 외관 상만 보고 예약 잘못했다 생각했는데 내부는 외관과 많이 다르니 겉만 보고 실망하지 마시길^^;; 사진 올리고 싶은데 안올라가네요

This was a great place to stay barely in the mountains, overlooking the city. Definitely have to be traveling by care though if you are considering this location. The room itself was really pretty, clean, and included everything you would expect in a hotel, along with a great view. We traveled in the winter, so we were unable to take advantage of the pool.

Excelente hotel para pasar la noche. Camas super cómodas, habitación amplia, con bañera, super limpio todo. Y lo más genial que tiene piscina exterior! Nos ha encantado pasar la noche ahí. Un detalle que no nos iba el agua caliente, pero nos dieron otra habitación para ducharnos y si queríamos cambiarnos a esa también podríamos hacerlo, aunque preferimos quedarnos donde estábamos y solo nos duchamos en la otra.
