  “ it's a nice place to stay, clean and quiet, very close to the Mosque-Cathedarl and Jewish neighborhood. Cheap and basic. Breakfast is not included and you have to pay TAX there. (the first and only hostel wher I have been charged for taxes). Room was OK, comfortable beds and big locker with key.... more key. The problem was the shower (bathroom inside the room and very big one) the water was going to everywhere, the walls, floor, roof, etc. Itr seems someone broke the shower :(. Besides that, I recommend it close ”

  “ not so bad as some reviews said. it is a hotel more likely. most important, it gives you 24 hours check in and check out. that means you do not need to check out, like say 11 am as others. ”

  “ The staff here where fantastic for 5 mins only, afterwards pretty usless! Dirty kitchen equipment and not enough of it. Too use the kitchen you have to walk some 300m in moorish style paths which makes for it to be very confusing, the fact that the other hostel with the kitchen has no street... more light means you could just walk straight past it! Very poor wifi connection and no computer to use either! Staff lock the chill room for 3 hours during siesta time. The only good thing is the location! close ”

  “ This is the worst hostel I have stayed in the past 3 months travelling in Europe. First, there were bed bugs. 2nd, staff barely and unwillingly spoke any english. When I asked for what to see, she just talked briefly in spanish, and yet gave wrong directions. Their shower had a large curtainless... more curtainless window facing the corridor. Everyone walking pass the corridor can see clearly everything. No kitchen, just a fridge and a microwave but no folks or plates, not even a glass for water. Terrible! close ”

  “ Nothing to do. Beds very close to eachother, cramped in a room. Bathroom/toilet door not possible to close. 2 small towels, 1 mini shampoo, 1 mini soap for 8 beds. No internet, no breakfast, no drinks for sale, no coffee/tea, very negative employee (who refused to speak any but spanish). Yes,... more Yes, location is very good and the roof terrace is a second plus close ”

  “ the staff are not helpful at all. the 1st room we stayed at was nice- decked out with ikea! The other 2 nights we stayed in a room 1 euro less but very basic and not that nice! the door was a struggle to open and close every day. the room wasnt ready on time. The receptionist kept changing her... more her mind first -it was ready at 11 then 12 then 1300. Dont have breakfast in the other sister hostel. It was - snacker bread and tea/coffee with curdled milk. Stay if u are in the nicer rooms close ”

  “ It seemed like the staff went out of there way to be rude (when they were even at the front desk). Rooms were way too packed and the shower in the bathroom didn't work properly. Although when you're in Cordoba you don't have much of a choice! ”

  “ Clean, secure, good location (neatly placed in the city center, close to "shopping streets" and to the "historical center"). Computers don't work but there is an internet café in the city (Calle Claudio Marcello) with somewhat working computers. I've never received the... more breakfast (I was leaving twice too early to get it - e.g. it starts at 7:30, but don't expect anything prepared even at 8 - it's Spain after all :-) ). close ”

  “ This hostal is just like a hotel. Our room looked really friendly, modern (ikea?) and had a great air conditioning (you will need that in Cordoba). The bathroom got everything you need, but is though quite small. It's impossible to keep the floor dry when you take a shower but as they clean it... more clean it erveryday... great place - go there if you want a good and quiet room close ”

  “ The hostel has a character but be aware that taxes are not included in the price you get on hostelworld.com website. Also the staff is not there during siesta time and during night. I recomend to arrive there between 8.30 - 1pm or at 6pm. Staff is helpful in case there is someone there. Also... more there is no internet in the hostel and no internet cafe in cordoba. In case something goes wrong or something brakes there is a phone number you can call but fortunately I did not have to try. close ”

  “ i arrived at 2 p.m. and was asking (at 3 p.m. and in spanish) for a kitchen - "what for?" - "to cook?" - "how to cook? it's closed until 6". reception staff was really unfriendly and three hours siesta with a closed communnity area are nothing good. visitors can... more can cook in the other branch of s&c, but they close during siesta, too. the two pcs were out of order so nobody could use them. close ”

  “ The hostel had a great vibe, location, clean, comfortable, great for the price. However, it did not have a kitchen available (only microwave) and there wasnt really a spot to hang out and meet people. The reception was closed after 12 and isnt always convienant, as i had to leave early in the... more the morning and had to leave all my groceries in the fridge. close ”

  “ Excellent value for money! We stayed in double rooms and felt like a nice hotel rather than a hostel. We had aircon, TV, ensuite... Decor is quirky and interesting. I really enjoyed the stay. The only problem we had was with the keys - staff really should put room numbers on keys, to avoid... ”

  “ It is located very close to the centre, so it is very close to everything interesting in the city, but very noisy as well. Problem with a kind of smell in the room, probably coming from the drainage. Very nice decoration, very beautiful lounge. ”

  “ beautiful, comfortable place, liked the en-suite bathrooms, the clean and comfy living room, the free internet. One word of caution though: have your booking confirmation printed out when checking in, I had not and was charged approx. 1€ more than what I owed them according to this... more this confirmation. Maybe not a bigg difference, but usually a deal should be a deal, right? close ”

  “ beautful, modern room in a great location. unfortunately the power on the 2nd floor kept going out, and we were without air conditioning all night (as staff are not available to correct the problem from 12-8am). staff did not apologize in the morning but promised the situation was corrected.... more corrected. it was not and power went off again on our 2nd night. not a good feature when the temperature outside is 37 degrees C. close ”
