El Antiguo Convento

Topp Økonomihotell

price location

The bathroom was relatively modern and clean. The host/owner was not welcoming at all, from beginning to end. We almost felt as if we were intruding upon him during our stay. There were no beer or beverages available for purchase during our stay as was posted at the hotel reception. There was no chapel as stated at the website. Debris (from the ceiling?) was always found on our beds whenever we came back to our room. I believe that perhaps this was a result of any car of truck that happened to rumble by on the street, thus shaking the structure. There was a prostitution house 30 m down the street & at all hours of the day the women would stand in the street or doorways to solicit. This was hardly the "welcome to Cordoba" to which we wanted to expose our children.

Centrally situated, although one has to be careful how to approach Rey Heredia street - if you are driving, do yourself a favour and park in the public car park on the other side of the Guadalquivir River and walk it to the hotel. It is only 5-10 mins by walk. The hotel is centrally located, and just down the road is Bar Santos (opposite the Mesquita) with its divine tortilla. Rooms are adequate and spanking clean, although breakfast is a tad mediocre.
