“2 weeks in Andalousie”

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It is updated and clean. The kitchenette has everything you need (even coffee!). The rooms are quiet and the AC works well. The location is central and all sites are accessible by foot. The soaker pool is small but refreshing. I would recommend this place

“great value, casual comfort in a quiet historic spot”

These tourist apartments are in a quiet part of the historic district, an easy 10 minute stroll to the Mezquita and the Jewish Quarter, with several restaurants and cafes nearby, but blissfully away from the crowds and noise. Our apartment (7) was very clean and comfortable, on the top level of the building. Hotel pictures are accurate — there is a bedroom and a separate sitting area with kitchenette, sofa, dining table and kitchen island with chairs. You can see the Mezquita bell tower from the sitting area windows. The air conditioning worked perfectly, bed was quite comfortable, and water pressure/temperature in the shower were good. The owners have thoughtfully included many things for the comfort of their guests, including coffee and tea, and detergent pods for the dishwasher and washing machine. There is also a supermarket just around the corner, which is very convenient. If you arrive by car, it is not hard to navigate to the hotel, and the hotel staff will accompany you to a nearby private garage to park. We saw in the brochure in our room that you can arrange in advance to have breakfast delivered to your room in the morning, and can also arrange to have some groceries brought in — we did not use those services but they seem like a nice option. All in all, this is a lovely set up for a couple to enjoy a long weekend or more in Cordoba. Our only two comments, which did not affect our enjoyment of our stay at all, were: (1) we had requested and confirmed in writing a different room (apartment 6), but were told when we arrived that it had been given to someone else. Room 7, however, was of at least comparable quality and quite nice. (2) it might be made a bit more clear that the rooms have washing machines that will wash clothes, but not a clothes dryer — you dry clothes on a laundry rack that is provided. Again, this was totally fine, but would have been helpful to have a bit clearer as we spent a bit too much time trying to figure out whether the washer machine had a drying function, and it can be important to a guest to know how much time to allow for clothes to air dry. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend it to others.

“Little details”

The start wasn't fortunate, we arrived under rare showers of rain, no parking available, all umbrellas issued, no clear explanation were to park so I came back completely wet and wanted to check if I choose the good place.

The start wasn't fortunate, we arrived under rare showers of rain, no parking available, all umbrellas issued, no clear explanation were to park so I came back completely wet and wanted to check if I choose the good place. The 2 lady's at the reception were both busy helping one guest and let me wait dripping for 10 minutes. The apartment was good, slightly underwhelmed by the lighting and it was not really warm but of course I was wet and cold. The bed was very good and overall everything was of good quality and well equipped. The second day we had asked for breakfast, we missed fresh items, orange juice (not fresh) breads (bake off), marmelade (cups) no eggs. Staff was friendly and despite the cold start it was a nice stay.

“Disappointing ”

The apartments ate well located - very central and within the old city. Initially we were happy that the place seemed nicer than the photographs. However when we tried making scrambled eggs one night - with 2 tired hungry children - the stove didn’t work. They we’re quick to send someone to help but after installing another stove, couldn’t resolve the problem. Also the cleanliness wasn’t as one would expect. There was food lying in the one internal courtyard and a cockroach took a stroll across the apartment floor one morning. Cordoba is interesting but I wouldn’t make it more than a day trip.
