This hotel is incredibly beautiful and very clean. The hotel staff was beyond sweet and they made so much accommodations for us. The lovely lady at the front also gave us some great recommendations and ways to get around the city. Everything about our short stay was delightful. More than recommend a stay here as I would stay longer if I could!

Thank you for your review, first of all I apologize and I would also like to tell you that we had a boiler breakdown that night. I tried by all means to contact a technician and due to the hours, it was impossible. So I spent most of the night trying to fix the problem myself (I have no knowledge) reading manuals. By early morning the problem was already solved and there was hot water. So yes, a lot was done.

Nice place for what it’s worth
The stay was nice, overall. Our only complaint was the design of the shower. There was no door to close while we would have the shower running. Also the water would splash all over causing everything inside the bathroom to get wet. On our first night we were also smell urine coming out of the urinal. Otherwise, thank you for letting us stay here these past two nights!

Quaint and friendly hotel
This was a very cozy place to stay with great service from the people there. They were very helpful in helping guests find a way into town, whether it be by taxi or the local bus. There is a grocery store very close by (almost next door) which I didn't even notice about until I went down the street to get a pizza, so it certainly didn't interfere with the charm of this hotel. All I heard outdoors was the birds chirping in the backyard patio area.

Hello family,We regret that your stay at the Riad did not go as you wished. As you say, our clients usually leave the hotel happy with their stay. We are sorry that you have suffered from the odors of the disinfection that is usually necessary as it is a family hotel surrounded by garden areas.As for the location of the hotel, it is always advisable to see on the map provided by the booking websites to know where one is booking. Are we looking for tranquility, relaxation, free parking and less pollution or being in the bustle of the city and looking for parking or paying high prices for it?I hope you enjoyed the fresh orange juice and sliced fruit for breakfast.A greeting and happy stay in our land

Definitely Recommend
On arriving initial impressions were mixed. Location was excellent, good parking, clean but it did look a bit dated and as we were in the older part, room furniture was older. Everything worked though and shower was good and beds very comfortable. We stayed for four days and had breakfast every day. We really enjoyed our stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and the grounds of the hotel were nice to sit in. We walked all the way into Cordoba centre a couple of times and also took bus and taxi trips as needed. Despite our initial first impressions I have to say that we would definitely stay there again and strongly recommend it. Just too many good points to ignore.

Lovely little hotel.
The hotel is set a 20 minute bus ride into Cordoba centre. Bus stop is a 2 minute walk (bus 13) and costs €1.30 each way. It was great to have free onsite parking. The hotel is situated in a very nice area with several bars and restaurants a 15 minute walk away. The young lady that greeted us, Rocia, give us a map and highlighted the areas to visit and sites to see. She was very helpful and polite. The hotel is a converted large house and was perfect for our 2 night stay.

City Visit
Fabulous hotel. Very quiet and safe neighbourhood. Close to restaurants and bars. The centre just a short taxi ride away. The staff were superb and could not do enough for us, from helping us book trips, to ensuring the taxis were ordered and arrived. Would certainly recommend the hotel to everyone and hopefully we will stay again when visiting Córdoba.

A little peaceful haven in an amazing city
We had a three night stay in this lovely hotel whilst visiting Cordoba. It was an absolute delight. The room we had was amazing. Really big and bright and the on suite was out of this world. It even had a his and hers wash basin. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the very large bed was so comfy. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice and the staff where very polite and friendly. I would not hesitate to give this hotel a 5 out of 5 rating.

Excellent hotel
The hotel was quite a bit out of town, but having driven into Seville, it was a relief not to have to cope with the traffic and narrow streets. The attractions were a taxi drive away which cost around 8 euros so didn't break the bank. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was included and the variety of foods was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner. Lovely garden area to relax in after a day walking. Would highly recommend.
