Stayed at this hotel while on Andalucian Tour. Felt sorry for the single barman who alone served the indoor bar area, outside terrace and then to cook and serve snacks as and when requested. The pool area is nothing more than disgusting, the water was little more than green sludge with plentiful helpings of litter and debris, the only alternative was the pool at a neighbouring hotel at a cost of 11 Euros per person, with little concern from Las Aldefas staff. Around the perimeter sat old tired and torn matresses on unkempt sunbeds and in a raised corner was an decrepid unattended outside bar with old fridges chattering away merrily. On one ocassion when returning to our room after breakfast, my wife put the credit card style key into the room lock and opened the door, a bit concerning as our room was two doors further along the bland corridor. Hope you like cold buffet breakfasts because that is all that is on offer and evening meals are highly uneventive and forgetful. Its a shame really as this hotel has so much potential with panoramic views across the city from the bar terrace among wavering palms but when you return from a hot days sightseeing etc, a welcoming cool swim is more relaxing than a visit to a Sludge Pit .

After reading some of the opinions in this forum, we were really aware of a somehow terrible place, but were pleasantly surprised by clean and spacious rooms and the green and quiet area surrounding the hotel.You do need a car to reach the centre but if you walk the 10 min to the next bus stop you will reach everywhere without stress and you will be happy to reach a peaceful area after hours of sightseeing in a busy city. the breakfast is ok but dinner is not advisable, only if you can't walk the 5 minutes to the Parador of Cordoba, where we had a very nice dinner- prices for excellent food very reasonable but the wine is quite high priced.from the parador you have a nice view over the city and hills around. regarding the pool we guess that the hotel has to have a life guard for the size of the pool- this is law and probably they are just saving money by not opening it. we explored as well the hinterland of Cordoba and it is very green and very isolated, so a full petrol tank is advisable.you can find the famous pata negra pigs under the thousands of oak trees.

Nuestra experinecia resulto muy buena. El Hotel esta situado en un enclave rodeado de jardines a 5 minutos en coche del centro, maginificas vistas ,habitaciones muy amplias y limpias. El trato del personal fue muy agradable. El desayuno amplio y con calidad. A 5 minutos andando hay un centro comercial y en la misma puerta del hotel hay una parada de autobus .La única crítica es que la piscina se rompió y no la pudimos utilizar un día.
