We actually adjusted the dates of our trip to Spain so that we could stay at the Hesperia. A year ago, this was one of the top hotels (if not THE top one) in Cordoba. Not sure why it's dropped in the rankings. Our room was clean, quiet and modern, and had a fabulous view of the Mezquita... which by the way looks incredible at night. The most shocking thing about the hotel was that it had much better food than most restaurants in Cordoba, which apparently subscribe to the belief that you can serve anything to tourists since they won't be coming back anyway. Even the sangria was better (and stronger!) than at most restaurants, which tend to water it down or maybe do one of those powder deals, kind of like sangria kool-aid. The staff was cordial, including a waitress who was the nicest person we met in Spain despite her limited English. We thought this place was absolutely awesome and are puzzled by its drop in popularity.

Fuimos mi novio y yo este año, la verdad es que chapeau, un hotel genial, elegimos hasta el tipo de almohada, la habitacion con vistas a la mezquita, el baño requete limpio, caja fuerte, buena atencion, nada mas llegar te explican todo , como legar a los sitios, lugares de interes... Muy bien, ademas nos subieron el desayuno a la hab y nos lo colocaron y todo. Lo unico malo es q ese dia en la azotea habia un meeting de izq unida y no pudimos subir.... Y muxo ojo porq el puente q esta justo en la puerta del hotel q t deja cordoba a 2 min andndo esta en obras y hay q dar toda la vuelta, ir por el de la izq xq el de la derexa esta oscuro y lleno de gitanos. Mejor ir cuando este arreglado q ademas es muy bonito.

Mi estancia en dicho hotel ha resultado penosa.En primer lugar me negaron atenderme en el restaurante del hotel para cenar porque entre a las 23,05H ,cuando el horario de cierre era a las 23,30h(a cambio me ofrecieron pedir un sandwich o ensalada).Al dia siguiente se celebro una boda en la planta baja que impedia por completo el descanso debido a los ruidos insoportables,teniendo que abandonar el hotel una noche antes de lo previsto...una verguenza para un hotel de 4 estrellas que ademas quiso cobrarme la estancia por completo(cerca de 400 euros por dos noches).Me siento estafado por el trato recibido.Por desgracia he leido alguna critica similar a la mia,luego no es una coincidencia qe me haya tocado a mi. Por cierto para ir al centro que dicen es caminando en 5 min,no es asi actualmente,ya que el puente esta en obras y tienes que coger coche o dar una vuelta muy grande para llegar.saludos a todos los lectores

We stayed at the Hesperia Cordoba for two nights in September. It is a lovely hotel in a great location. While it is true that the Roman bridge is closed, which means that you have to walk a bit further to another bridge in order to get to the city, the increased walking time is not that significant. Moreover, bridge issues notwithstanding, the hotel still has a beautiful view of the Mezquita -- especially from its roof terrace. We were given a room on the second floor of the hotel, facing the Mezquita. The view was great, but found it very noisy being at the front the hotel, just over the entrance. We would recommend that you request a room facing the Mezquita, but on a higher floor.

This hotel was well placed for access to the old town of Cordoba (will be even better when the Roman bridge is re-opened). The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The view of Cordoba from the roof terrace was superb, recommend having a night cap in the terrace bar.
