What Customers Have To Say
Extremely comfortable room.
I did not use the other infrastructures.
Perfect breakfast.
Very professional reception.
Excellent value for money.
The former is a business hotel on the main road in the city area while the latter is a boutique hotel in the historic city center. We wanted to book Centro (based on its location and reviews), but ended up at Center and by the time we realized our mistake, it was too late!
Hotel Cordoba Center is old and tired looking but the room are spacious, beds are huge and the mattress is very comfortable. Hotel is on the main road and the windows are not sound proof but it still seemed quiet.
Probably a good location for business trips but not for holiday as it is a 30-minute walk from the historic center.
Parking is available at an extra €18 per night.
Bathrooms are large but there is no shower stall. The bathtub is the most uncomfortable bath tub I have seen. There is a very wide rim in black stone around the bathtub that makes it look nice but also makes getting in and out very difficult!!!
The room does have any slippers, shower caps or complimentary water bottles.
Ultra Dark gloomy and oppressive, view of hotel interior courtyard
Feeling like you're in prison
Very poorly soundproofed.
Access bathtub difficult to believe that they want a fracture of the pelvis
But the staff is friendly
Very very good quality restaurant dinner
Friendly and attentive server
Cozy atmosphere
Breakfast buffet OK but not the most extraordinary!!! Basic .
Location of the hotel very well placed near train station
And cathedral mosque 20 minutes walk
The wait to enter the mosque is hellish
If you book take the first slot otherwise you wait 2 hours in line
Very poorly organized
Large and beautiful rooms
