Very friendly staff. Supermarket next door. A little far from old downtown.
Horrible el aire acondicionado dañado , cucarachas
Olor a humedad , en fin no me gusto hable con recepcion por el aire acondicionado y me trajeron un ventilador de piso ! No me gusto para Nada !
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!
Very clean rooms and looks very fancy and expensive inside! Easy parking available within the premises. Enjoyed our stay....wish we could have stayed longer!

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.
As long as you have a car, it's a great location. Beautiful, walkable area as well. Beautiful hotel, great service.

The hotel owned by the family is beautiful. One of those disadvantages to flush the toilet several times. Breakfast is just okay, but we enjoyed drinking the delicious orange juice. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Gracias por su visita y por dejarnos su valoración. Esperamos que haya tenido una grata estancia en Córdoba
A friendly and helpful team made our stay a real holiday. The grounds had lots of space and comfy furniture for a relaxing evening drink. Nothing to match it on our 8 days in Spain.

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!

Thank you, Marcus, for your visit. We are glad to know that you liked our accommodation. We wish you had a good experience in the city of Córdoba. Thank you for your comments
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.

They had used so much insecticide in the room that made us truly sick. Not clean and far from attractions. I can’t believe people have rated this property that high. It should get 1 or 2 at most.

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
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.

They are the ones that really help an indecisive customer when choosing their resting place for their tourist stays.We are glad to know that your impression has changed for the better. At the Riad, being a small family hotel, we do things with all our love for our guests. We wish you had a good and magical time in our welcoming city.Above all, we hope that Mrs. Holt has overcome the bodily indisposition of the first days.Once again, thank you very much for her visit and for your feedback.Until next time
Beautiful quiet large mansion converted into a small hotel. Good parking available for free. Very quiet and lots of birds singing in the morning. Very nice overall.

Hi Sushil,Thanks for your visit..!! We apreciate a lot your feedback. It will be for help to next guest. Youll be welcome
It was a great place to stay, we enjoyed the fact that the parking was included unlike in other places we have stayed. Overall very nice experience. The stuff were super friendly.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderfully comfortable bed. A real bargain and none of the parking and driving hassles of staying in the old town. A cab from the hotel was 8 euros to the Mezquite.
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.

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.

We loved this unique hotel. The photos don`t do it justice. We were made to feel very welcome during our stay. The buffet breakfast was excellent.The hotel is situated in a very nice area and the bus, (bus stop 200 meters away) took us into the city in 15 minutes.
It is a fantastic hotel great service from booking to departure .
The staff were great and breakfast brilliant.

Great hosts!
The host was terrific and very kind, and gave us lots of tips for transportation and sites to see. Breakfast was unexpectedly amazing. Great coffee and a wide selection of foods. The hotel in general seems nice, though our room was in need of a renovation.
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.
This hotel feels like a home, looks like a home and you are treated like you are at home. Beautiful property, wonderful staff and terrific breakfast. Great value.
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.
A lovely and well run hotel in a quiet area of town and only five kinutes from a bus to the centre.
Comfortabe clean room, lively terrace to relax in plus next door to a supermarket although you would never know unless you looked for it.
Excellent breakfast made to order.
I loved this place. It is away from the hustle and bustle but the #13 bus is right there to take you to where you can see everything. The owners are very nice. Parking is free ad secure which is a big plus in Spain.
Two star hotel with very high people rating which miss leads the buyer. This hotel was a private property home as a very small rooms and doesn’t feel clean. Breakfast is less than any other breakfast I had on Spain. I would not recommend.
The staff were friendly and attentive. We were offered very useful advice on travelling into the city. The breakfast included much that appeared to showcase the area.
The service was amazing. It is not distance walk from historic sites but the area is very nice, close and safe. The parking is great. The breakfast spectacular. It has elevator. Bed super comfortable!
