    Fine for a short stay

    I didn't have lamp next to my bed or some small shelf to put my stuff and I had bed at the top so i had to get up all the time for light or my things. There are also no curtains for each bed so there is not much privacy. Room was next to pretty busy street so at night it was loud, but if you use earplugs i guess it's fine.

    I think hostel is really clean, nice bathroom and kitchen. Bed was comfortable and didn't make noise like bunk beds usually do.

    The beds need curtains on them as soon as possible! For privacy and whatnot. It will be highly appreciated! A proper cooker, stove would be also highly appreciated.

    Be aware: To get to the hostel from Cordoba Coach / Bus Station and Train Station alike, you either get Bus 3 in front of Estacion de Autobuses or walk about 10 - 15 minutes. I took the bus, which was a nice ride. The hostel is well located, near everything: The old town, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, etc It's very impressive, beautifully done. It's nice and quiet, close to all the main touristic Cordoba main attractions. Their kitchen is spot on, nice fridge and you can cook your meals. I slept like a baby, due to the quiet and welcoming ambience. I would stay there again! I really enjoyed it :-) I would recommend it to friends and family!! The staff was polite, extremely helpful and friendly. They kindly printed my Ryanair boarding pass! A huge Thank You to them! Much appreciated their kindness!

    Nothing particularly amazing about the property, but nothing bad either.

    It’s not the most modern and comfortable place, but it’s a good decent hostel for exploring Córdoba. It has a kind of Andalucían charm; the bathrooms for example look a little dated but it’s part of the authentic vibe. It’s not a very social hostel, so if you want to meet people you’ll have to strike up random conversations in the kitchen or something like that.

    I can't say if this is true for all rooms, but mine (Añil 4, top bunk) was just ridiculously designed. First the bunk is way too high (I'm a regular hostel user so this was one just stood out). And the top bunk is just in front of an aircon unit. I didn't want to use the Aircon as it's unnecessary (it was cool enough if you open your window) but as with all dorms, you are a subject to the vote of the majority. They all want the Aircon for air circulation, so I had cold air blasting my direction for two straight nights. I ended up having a cold. I asked the lady at the reception if I could be transferred to a different room but she sternly said they're full. Her remedy was to hide the remote control of the Aircon (ridiculous). I never hid it, and she never took it. This would have been avoided if the bed was not directly in front of the Aircon. No one wants to sleep that way.

    Near the Mezquita and right at the Juderia

    The beds can be a little more spaced in terms of height between a bed and the one on top

    The location was incredibly convenient and felt truly authentic to Córdoba, as if I were staying in one of the city’s historic spots. The staff were super friendly, and the atmosphere had such amazing energy!

    The lockers are very old and didn't feel especially secure. The door going into the room was challenging as well. It'd be great if they could improve on the room security features and I'd give it a 8 or 10🙏 Highest bunk beds I've ever seen (!!!) but they gave me a bottom bunk by my second night (of five)

    Excellent location. Super helpful staff. Shannon, their volunteer from Chicago even walked me to the bus stop the day I left so I wouldn't get lost 🫶 Really nice atmosphere.

    I wish the common areas (living room, patio, terrace) would not close after 11, also sometimes had connection problems with wifi but it was not too often, so its ok

    Very beautiful interior, everything was very nice and clean, nice staff, incredible location. Facilities were enough, had lockers in the room. Had some doubts on booking mixed room as a woman but everything was great with all the roomies!

    The top bunks were unusually high so there were a number of foot-hurting ladder rungs to reach them. Luckily, I had a bottom bunk! The locker locks were very basic. You're relying on the honesty of your roomies and not on the integrity of the locks. There were no individual bedside lights, so one person had to hop out of bed to get the main light once everyone was ready to settle.

    Great location. Friendly helpful staff. Clean bathrooms and dorms. Loved the roof terrace. Very picturesque surroundings, I loved the ambience.

    When you come in during the day you can't enter the hostel with a key or code, but you have to knock so someone of the staff can let you in. But that's just a small thing :)

    Every single staff member is super friendly and wanting to help, from before checking in till after checking out. I felt very welcome here. It is a nice and calm hostel, no outside noise, even though it's in the center just a street away from the mosque. Even the guests were all quiet. The atmosphere was peaceful which made it nice to rest there during the day too. It's a pretty building. There's a small kitchen with all the necessary things for making your meals. The bed was comfortable and the showers were of a comfortable size as well. Apart from the lockers in the rooms, there's also space under the beds which I used as storage space. I think this hostel really suits the city well and I would come back here if I were to return to Córdoba!

    I had a great visit. The location in the old town of Cordoba was fabulous: down a quiet alley a stone’s throw from La Mezquita. The place had a charming ambience and was great value for money. The staff were friendly, kitchen worked well for a small backpackers and there was bottomless coffee😉.
