The location of this hotel was right next to La Mesquita. I wanted to stay in this part of town. I thought the location was fantastic for access to all of the major sites to see in Cordoba - so many things to see and do within walking distance. We arrived late on a Saturday. There were more people in the street than we expected. The hotel told us about a fiesta going on, “La Noche Blanca de Flamenco”. We could tell that we would be able to hear some street noise in our room. So rather than be disappointed about the noise, we decided to join the party! I am so glad that did. The next day, Sunday, there was a holy parade that happens once a year. We found out about it just before it started. Turns out that our balcony window was the best place to see the parade. Wow! Amazing! What luck! The hotel was great. It has an interior court yard with flower pots on the wall, very typical of Cordoba. The staff were great and very helpful with directions and lical info. If you get a chance to go to the restaurant around the corner, Bodegas Mezquita, you will not be disappointed. We ate there a couple of times. The food was so good! Now, I do need to make you aware the hotel says there is air conditioning. There was vent and some air came out, but it barely took the edge off the heat from Cordoba. It was a little hard to sleep because it was so warm. If you can’t handle the heat, you might need to find a hotel that is newer with better air-conditioning. But I wanted to be in old town.
