Casa Turística Patio Cordobes

Right in the middle of the attractions area, this was a great place to stay. The apartment was spotless and modern, with a little balcony looking out over the courtyard.

We had a comfortable, clean room, and there are plenty of room options with nice decor. The receptionist was very helpful and explained what we needed to know to enjoy Cordoba. The hostel is well placed in the Jewish Quarter. You can drive there, but the streets are so narrow that a large car would be a problem. Parking is about 30 meters from the main entrance and costs €15.00 per night.

We only stayed briefly, but the apartment’s location was great and the layout suited a family with children. Loli was attentive and helpful the whole time, with service that couldn’t have been better. We’ll come back.

The only thing I liked was the patio, though you’d be better off taking a selfie from outside the fence. This was a terrible place to stay in Córdoba, one of the worst. It may look cute, but the apartments supposedly accommodate more guests than they actually can, and there are plenty of other problems. The rooms are so cramped that there’s nowhere to put your suitcases, with furniture packed in like Tetris. Six people had one bathroom, in deplorable condition, and there were barely any cooking facilities. Bring a frying pan and be prepared to eat next to the bathroom door. The mattresses were the worst I’ve slept on, sometimes in questionable hygienic condition, and the ancient windows provided no insulation. There were lots of insects, especially mosquitoes and cockroaches, with no mosquito nets, permanent repellents, or anything else. We were six guests but got just one key, and the air conditioning didn’t work. The landlady lives in one of the apartments and is completely intolerant of even the slightest noise, so if you’re thinking of going during the fair or at crossroads, I assure you there are better places. She says there’s parking, but getting there means driving down incredibly narrow streets where it’s hard not to scrape your car. It took me almost an hour to get from arriving in the city to the garage. The route also requires a special permit. The landlady told me to scan my license plate, and I ended up with a €200 fine. I raised this with her and offered to have her cover half the fine, €50 for early payment, to make up for the bad experience. She wouldn’t agree, even though she hadn’t properly warned guests about what could happen when driving in central Córdoba. The host threatened to report me for leaving a negative review, apparently to stop others from having the same experience. She wouldn’t get involved or help. At first, I held off on making my experience and opinion public because she seemed friendly. Now I understand that sympathy. I told her I’d share my experience and opinion publicly. Improve the accommodation and explain the “parking” you claim to have in advance instead of threatening legal action against guests who write reviews.
