Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers huge and gorgeous rooms in genuine Cordoba style, but lacks a door between the bedroom and the rest of the suite. The service is excellent, with friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond without being overly formal. The dining experience, although showing a great personal touch, could benefit from more staff. Overall, the hotel provides a unique mix of beauty and service but falls short in room layout and dining staffing.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms, despite being a little small, had all the amenities I could wish for in a 5-star establishment. The service was impeccable, with everyone being so helpful and pleasant. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to major attractions. The dining experience was truly delightful, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options. Overall, a great value for money experience.
The hotel had a convenient location with a stunning courtyard garden. The rooms were on the small side despite a decent size, and the patio turning into a restaurant in the evenings could be a downside. The service provided was excellent without being overly stuffy. The dining experience, although poor for its price, offered Tuscan bread. The fantastic layout and furniture of the location made up for being a bit farther than expected from city attractions.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were not quite up to our expectations, being loud with street and corridor noise, but they did offer luxurious pillows and a comfortable bed. The service, though, was a standout feature with helpful and friendly staff like Carlos and Jessica at the front desk. The location was excellent for sightseeing and the character of the hotel was charming, but there were some misses like the lack of vegetarian food options on arrival. Dining had its ups and downs with a rather expensive experience compared to similar hotels, but the breakfast selection was among the best I have seen. Overall, the stay was unique thanks to the high-quality services provided by the staff.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were quite nice, though a bit dark, and the courtyard didn't feel as inviting. The temperature in the room was a bit warmer than desired. The service was exceptional, with the staff being warm, efficient, and helpful from the moment I arrived. The location was great, only a short stroll away from key attractions, but navigating the small road to the hotel was a bit tricky. The dining experience was a bit pricey, so I opted to eat out most days. Despite minor drawbacks, my stay was enjoyable and memorable.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and spacious, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped bathroom, but they were not ready until after 4 pm. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, although they seemed a bit under pressure on a busy night. The location, in a 17th-century palace with Roman ruins in the basement, was excellent, offering a charming ambiance and easy access to nearby attractions. While the dining experience was the best I've had in a European hotel, it was rather expensive compared to similar options.
