I was very impressed with this hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable and had the added bonus of 2 terraces with stunning views over the rooftops and the cathedral. While the experience could be somewhat erratic, I was very happy with the rooftop terrace overlooking the Mezquita. However, I must admit I was very disappointed considering the amount of money I spent.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was a perfect spot to relax after exploring Cordoba, with a great bath and shower, comfortable bed, and excellent air conditioner. However, the room was very dark with no sizable window. The hotel offers an inexpensive honor bar and nice amenities, which added value to my stay.

The hotel is ideally situated for a short visit to this city, being only yards from the Mezquita and surrounded by numerous restaurants and charming narrow streets. The rooms are very comfortable, although lacking a covered terrace for rainy days. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, central to all the attractions we wanted to visit in Cordoba. The dining experience was excellent, with generous portions served in the lovely courtyard.

I couldn't believe how amazing this hotel in Cordoba was! The rooms were big and comfortable, cleans and all, and just a stone's throw from the Cathedral/Mosque. The service was top-notch, too, making my stay feel extra special. However, the location made it a bit challenging for buffet access at times, but overall ideal for exploring the city with plenty of dining options nearby.
