  : The good things:-location wasnt too bad, was about 20 minutes by walk from the Jewish quarter and attractions. Would have liked to stay fairly closer though as the area the hotel is in is fairly dead. -the staff were nice and organised me a taxi and also got us tickets for a flamenco show which we really enjoyed. -the patio was very beautiful inside the hotel
  : The bad things:-the smell of the room (smelt really chemically all the time)-you could hear absolutely everything from the other rooms even breathing. People would often speak loudly outside our room too at all hours. -the bedding was awful and my cover had blood stains-the windows faced the patio which gave you no privacy if they were open -the awful wallpaper was falling off the wall -you could definitely get better value for your money elsewhere -you needed to walk with all your things to the hotel to check in which wasnt communicated before (approx 5 min walk) but problematic with suitcases as the streets are very cobbly-wouldnt recommend nor stay there again -shower took a while to heat up

  : Ability to store bags at the reception was the only benefit.
  : Most disappointing experience out of 5 bookings in Andaluca.- After we arrived we were told to go to a separate hotel to check in. Unnecessarily wasting time of guests with luggage.- Room had a strong smell of sewage from the en-suite. Closed bathroom door at night but opening it in the morning it seemed even worse.- Very loud noise from 3 neighbouring rooms. Guests are not particularly being noisy but there is no sound insulation at all.- Window was to the internal courtyard/echo chamber of the building so very awkward to have the curtains open and even more noisy if you opened the window. Unfortunately this is also the only way to ventilate the smell of sewage out of the room.- No functional extractor in the bathroom so besides the smell the condensation from the shower was still there in the morning.

  : The location is okay.
  : The room was very small. The bed had bedbugs. We slept one night and the morning after we both woke up with itching and rashes. We report this in the reception, they could do anything for that, they denied that they were bedbugs, although we saw them on the bed. Our only option was to leave and to book in another hotel. We hoped that this was the worst thing and booking.com will help us . Unfortunatelly there was more to come from this so called "hotel". On the arrival they asked me to give the data of my bank card and when I asked why, as I had payed everything by booking, the answer was that they needed for warranty. The next morning they charged my card 126 euros for parking fee for 6 nights! When I went to the reception and I said that I do not have a car and this is a mistake, they were very aggressive. They told me that this is what the system did and they cannot change it. So we lost 126 euros for parking although we went by train to Cordoba and we did not had a car and we had to book another hotel because their filthy bed full of bed bugs. We spent 2 days of the 6 days in Cordoba been busy with banks (I had to block my card) and going to the police to report them for stealing. There they informed us that the hotel suppose to give on this kind of situations a complain form, so we had to go back to ask for it and they did not want to give this form which they are obliged to do, we told the reception that we are going to call 092 (local police) and finally with great hesitation they give us the form. Great start of our stay in Cordoba!

  : We didnt have breakfast
  : From the check in ,our accommodation was difficult to find . When found the key box wouldnt open, after 10 minutes we managed to get it open but there was no key in it , so after another 10 minutes an employee came and obtained a key from another box and said we would be in another room. The bed was most uncomfortable and there is mold on the net curtains and in the bathroom. We were told that parking was available on booking, but we were informed upon check-in that it wasnt and had to park a short taxi ride away We wont be recommending this hotel

  : The staff were friendly and helpful
  : The room is in a building some distance away from the hotel reception. There is no elevator and our room was on thex3rd floor. It was tiny. The shower had very poor pressure but the drain was blocked so when you used the shower you stood in water. The cleaner did her best to fix the problem but after one good shower the problem returned.
