  “ Wir wurden ins Senses&Colours Añil verlegt, weil das Bagdad Backpackers Hostel renoviert werden sollte...Die Rezeption ist erst ab 9 Uhr besetzt, vorher kann man nicht einchecken. Im Añil gibt es keine Küche. Im Doppelzimmer gab es Seife, Handtücher und TV. Die Lage war super. ”

  “ The bathroom was inconvenient because of the light switch that was located behind the sliding door and on the outside of the bathroom, so that you had to close the bathroom door, and have somebody from the outside turn on the light. Furthermore, the shower had no door so that water went... more everywhere. Lastly, and most inconvenient was trying to find the place. I suggest putting up signs on your other hostels that are closed for remolding, letting your clients know of their new location. close ”

  “ Beautiful tiled courtyard with a gorgeous fountain decorated for Christmas. The lounging area was decorated like a mosque, with lots of carving on the walls and low, cushioned benches. Adequate kitchen, and very warm and quiet. Outside automatic computer check-in was a plus! ”

  “ La chica de la recepción muy amable. El lugar es fenomenal pues estas en pleno centro. Lo único es que no puedes llegar con coche alli pero no es un gran problema. Lo único que no nos gustó mucho fue que la calefacción no funcionaba y tuvimos un radiador eléctrico y mas mantas para no tener... more tener frío. En general muy contentos por la relación calidad-precio. close ”

  “ Quite simply,I would NEVER recommend anyone to stay at this hostel.It is massively overpriced-I was charged 65 euros a night for the room,the lock of the door to my bedroom did not work and it was never mended,so myself and my friend had to carry all our belngings with us when we went out.In... more out.In addition,there were no towels or soap in the room when we arrived,I had bedbugs in my bed and there is no night porter-the front door is left unlocked,so no security close ”

  “ You can't run a hostel without a staff. The only person of the staff I met was nice, but there was little he could do to be of service since he was the only member of staff and not there all the time. The worst service concept ever. The patio and rooms were nice but the first thing you need in a... more in a hostel is service. There wasn't even a luggage room. close ”

  “ Be careful because in this hostal,the reception doesn't work from 3 until 6pm and it isn't written in any part.We left our luggages in the reception saying that we would be back after lunch and when we came back we found it close.We called the "emergency" numbers that were written on... more on the walls and they couldn't help us in any way and so we had just to wait.So we lost the train and we had to change our reservation in the next city. close ”

  “ As there is a machine to check in we did not see any staff until the following day & she did not speak a word of english & seemed reluctant to try & help us, however we did see another lady bedfore we left who was much mor helpful! We felt that the over all feel was unfriendly as... more as people didn´t make any effort to say hello when we arrived, however this may have just been those few people. close ”

  “ This was a vary cheap place to stay, but the check in system is a knightmare! If you arrive out of the hours of 9-2 and 6-10 it is likely you will not be able to get in. Also the rooms were boiling hot, only a rubbish fan. However the location was great and the common room was lovely. ”

  “ We had problems checking in as there weren't any actual human beings manning reception, just a machine that tried to charge us too much which meant traipsing around Cordoba with a massive bag to another hostel to sort it out, but once inside the hostel is pretty and was fairly quiet. Good base to... more base to explore Cordoba from, however our dorm had no air con and the fan didn't do much to relieve the heat! close ”

  “ Quite possibly the worst Hostel experience ever. After arriving to my room late at night, I found that what was supposed to be my bed already occupied. What's worse is that I could not find a member of staff at the early hour to help me and so therefore had to spend the night sleeping in a... more chair in the common room. Not only did they have the cheek to still charge me for not even having a bed but OVERCHARGE ME! I'm obviously a f***ing idiot for still paying! Avoid. close ”

  “ One of the best decorated, best located hostels i've ever stayed at! We had a double room w bathroom and it was very HOT and STUFFY, and the bathroom smelled mildewy, could've used a good session with a dehumidifier. Patio was cool and very pretty. Located right in the middle of la Juderia, very... more very easy to get the main sights. Would definitly stay again!! (but in a room with a window!) close ”

  “ A very beautiful hostel with good beds. My room only had 2 bunks with its own nice, clean bathroom. I came the day after the feria so it was pretty empty and quiet. Easy to get here from the train and bus station. About a 15-20 minute walk through the Jardines de la Victoria and Diego Rivera. ”
