Hotel El Conquistador - Córdoba

8.6

El Conquistador was one of our favorite hotels out of seven we stayed in in Spain. Our room was large and well decorated. The hotel is located directly accross from the back wall of the Mosquita on the edge of the Jewish ghetto. Lots of shops and resturants within walking distance.

4.1

The staff were extremely unhelpful at reception while the waitress was even having a private telephone call on her mobile phone while taking our order in the restaurant. Switching on the air conditioning in the room produced a distinct smell of drains – as prevailed in the street outside the hotel. The location in central Córdoba was, however, ideal.

8.2

This hotel was the most expensive we stayed in in Spain but was right across the road from the mesquita and close by to all historic sights. The hotel itself was lovely and clean, room size was a little less roomy than some. There was a lovely patio to sit and have a drink in (we waited quite some time for service and ended up leaving without a drink). The cafe next door is handy for a quick breakfast. Hotel reception staff were polite and helpful. There looked to be many more hotels around the mesquita which may have cost a bit less and would have met our needs just as well

Excelente hotel!! Pared con pared con la mezquita, estuvimos una noche y salio muy barato. La habitación muy limpia, el personal genial. El desayuno eran 12 euros y el cafe era malo (es la única pega). RECOMENDADO

8.7

Very good hotel, just outside the wonderful Mezquita! My friends and I stayed there two nights.

8.4

Un hôtel sympa surtout par sa situation à Cordoue. Il se trouve juste en face de la Mezquita. Vous avions des chambres qui donnaient sur l'enceinte de cette magnifique cathédrale mosquée. Très joli, surtout la nuit. Le quartier est très calme, car il est piétonnier. En ce qui concerne les chambres, les nôtres étaient meublées avec beaucoup de simplicité, et un peu d'austérité pour un hôtel 4 étoiles. Dommage! Nous avions loué 2 chambres. L'une d'elle sentait très fort le tabac froid. Pas très agréable. Toutefois, nous n'avons pas demandé à changer de chambre... car la vue était trop belle.

8.5

It is dierect;y accross from the Mesquite and just a five minute walk to the Alcazar. Decent reataurants in the area

8.8

Perfect location. The mosque is across the street. Clean and updated room. Parking provided under hotel. Very difficult to get to hotel due to construction in the area.

9.2

Good hotel for the low price we were quoted. It was in a perfect location - immediately opposite the Mezquita. Underground parking available free to guests which is a necessity in the area. Air conditioned and very comfortable.

3.5

Of all the hotels I booked in spain (4 in all) this was the most disappointing. The room we stayed in was small and dingy and the bed was uncomfortable. Our view out of the window was a white wall and we managed about 2-3 hours of sleep the whole night we stayed there. The pictures of the rooms were misleading. The only good thing about this Hotel is the location but i suggest you book something further away and take a taxi to visit the Cordoba Cathedral/Mosque.

9.3

Fabulous location. Our room looked out onto the facade of the Mezquita. Public areas are very nice with a lovely inner courtyard for having a drink or dinner or simply chatting. Room was comfortable and well appointed.

2.9

Nothing special in this hotel. The comment we add in our reservation was not respected. Hotel without charm. Not really 4*. Employees speaks only spanish, and very bad english. Employees at the reception were not very much interested by our needs. However the location of the hotel is great, but there are a lot of hotel with similar location (i.e. close to the mezquita)

9.1

Fantastic location

3.2

Not a 4 star hotel. Decor and furnishings are very dated and the service was very poor with unknowledgable and unfriendly staff who made little effort to help us. The beds were old and uncomfortable. Despite the high price of the room they also charged for internet access and only had one computer for all the guests to share. The only good thing was the location next to the Mezquita which means you can get in at 8.30am free and have the place (almost) to yourself.

9.7

A very nice hotel in the heart of the old town but only minutes from the modern shopping area of the city. Our room overlooked the Cathedral walls. I was a little worried about the noise as the street outside was very busy , mostly through the day, but the double glazing worked very well. There was a lovely little interior courtyard for coffee or lunches and the hotel has also preserved some of the archaeological finding of the old city that are under them in glass walkways, although at present there is no information about what they are. The Cathedral is a must see, as is the Alcázar.

7.7

No public computer in function. Only wireless connection in public areas (very small area). Excellent position in front of Mezquita, excellent breakfast, excellent room.

8.3

El hotel está muy bien situado. En el centro del casco histórico. Nuestra habitación daba a la Catedral-Mezquita y desde el balcón podíamos ver las procesiones de Semana Santa. Muy recomendable si se busca estar alojado en todo el centro de la ciudad. Volveríamos a repetir.

7.2

It was my first stay in Córdoba. I was on holiday with my family, and it was very nice to be so close to the historical center. I have a 3 year old daughter so it was even better to access the hotel so easily and quickly.

9.0

Perfect place to stay if you want to be in the heart of Cordoba. Just steps away from the Mesquita and within walking distance of everything. Clean, quite and perfect.

8.2

Welcoming staff and a perfect location right next to the mosque. The room was clean and of the usual 4 star hotel size. There was some noise during the night, probably from the air conditioning system. There were only towels for one person but this was remedied without problems although it took two requests. Staff were friendly and efficient. I would stay there again.

8.5

The main attraction is its proximity to the Mesquita though the restaurant adjoining the lobby has a charming patio with a fountain that's great for sitting in when the weather's fine. I also got transferred to a non-smoking room promptly upon request even if the room was a little small.

9.4

I travelled with my adult daughter. We enjoyed our stay because of the location and the hotel was very clean with a wonderful staff. The La Mesquita was just accross. I highly recommend this hotel!

9.1

Excellent hôtel, confortable, très bien situé ; excellent accueil, service attentif

7.1

Very poor breakfast in all respects ... shame since everything else was good

10

These people accepted us early in the day without question or issue. They were incredibly responsive and accomodating and gave us a room with an incredible view even though we clearly had a deeply discounted rate for the room. Throw open the windows for a great view of the Mesquita!!!

9.9

Can't say enough good things about the El Conquistador. Perfect location and because we were on our honeymoon, they upgraded us to a suite, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent choice for Cordoba

8.8

Excellent hotel right beside the famous Mezquita of Cordoba and near to lot of restaurants and tapas bars. The hotel is situated in a non traffic road, therefore it is a quiet place. The hotel is also offering a private parking. The beds were very tiny, the only thing we have to criticise.

6.8

Reception were good and efficient at registration but over worked. On our second day we returned to the hotel at 5pm. and ordered beer and coffee to be taken in the patio garden and there was no one on duty in the bar so we had to go to reception to order. It duly arrived but then we couldn't find the waitress again to request the order be placed on our room account despite repeated enquires at reception, who said she was on her way. We waited over 10 minutes and she never did appear. The amount due was put on our account by the recepionist. The breakfast was adequate but the coffee machine was empty on the second morning at 9.15am. Again, the staff were very busy laying up for lunch rather than looking after the needs of the guests. The room was o.k. and the bathroom was clean but rather tired. Unfortunately there was a wedding at the hotel on the Saturday night and the guests had no concern for the residents when they left the hotel at 2a.m. Having said all that, we had a pleasant stay in Cordoba and will return next year to do the part we didn't manage to see this time.

10

Very nice hotel opposite to Mesquita. Very interesting inside garden. In general very good rememberings and best recommendations.

7.3

The position of the hotel could not have been better and having private car parking was a definite bonus although I think this should be foc for hotel guests.

8.7

Nice hotel. Còrdoba, as a whole, was amazingly even better than expected. Strongest points: the Mezquita, its historical centre,the Tower Museum with the very interesting audio-visual on the history of the town and the Medina.

8.7

Price of breakfast not competitive with nearby competition for just a small breakfast.

8.8

Front desk staff were extremely helpful, polite and friendly.

8.4

Our stay in this wonderful hotel will be so better if they would have received our reservation at all!!!! Anyway, staff find another hotel for the night they didn't register, so: good problem solving!

7.0

Paolo&Francesca motociclisti:albergo 4 stelle ad un ottimo prezzo,forse giustificato dalla disorganizzazione; infatti ci hanno dato una stanza occupata!Alla fine tutto risolto ma stanza per fumatori (con odore di sigaretta).Posizione ottima, davanti alla Mezquita.Comunque valido rapporto qualità/prezzo.Garage proprio a pagamento (d'obbligo,zona tutta pedonale).

9.0

Excellent location, effiecient parking

6.6

Las habitaciones son un poco pequeñas y sencillas/viejas para ser un 4 estrellas. Lo mejor la situación del hotel al lado de la mezquita, pero hay otros hoteles también muy cerca que parecen más nuevos. The room was small and a bit old/simple for a 4 starts hotel. The best the situation of hotel closed to the Mosque.

9.7

hotel génial à un prix plus que raisonnable grace à venere.com

8.0

hotel valido, di fianco alla mezquita, peccato per il parcheggio dell'hotel pieno (quelli pubblici sono a 10 min). Limitata l'insonorizzazione. Consigliato!!

6.1

Perfect position in full center; leave the car out of the city and remember to ask a no smoking room if you like. We had bad smell in the room.

9.9

Room towards the garden/backyard was nice and quiet. The hotel surroundings is perfect. Very good quality for the money.

9.8

The location was fantastic.. just in fron ot the mezquita in the center of Cordoba..The hotel quaity very high level..

8.0

hotel splendido, economico e situato in una posizione fantastica. da consigliare vivamente.

9.7

A comfortable hotel right opposite the Mezquita. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the air conditioning worked well which was important as the outside temperature was nearly 50 degrees. Breakfast had a good variety of food but was not cheap. However, this was countered by the bargain low-season price we paid for the room. The hotel bar was a bit quiet but there are a lot of bars in the historic centre - those run by the Silversmith's society are very good value. The Mezquita and the Alcazar Gardens are a must to visit. However a lot of attractions are closed for all or part of the day in August and it can get very hot indeed, even in the shade.

8.8

Very good location, just opposite the Mozquita. Very clean and well equipped rooms, although rather small. Nice "patio". A pleasant stay. For some real Spanish atmosphere, go to the modern part of the city.

8.2

This hotel has the perfect location in cordoba, when we opened the bedroom window we had the view of the Mezquita ! Hotel is clean and comfortable, staff is nice and helpful.

9.0

Unbeatable location next to the Mesquita. Lovely courtyard to eat in. Would stay there again if we are ever lucky enough to return to this beautiful city.

10

Superb place to stay in Cordoba. Just outside the walls of the Mezquita. Very nicely done hotel, very professional employees. Gorgeous courtyard. Will return if ever in Cordoba again.

8.7

questo hotel pulito e silenzioso ha un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. l'hotel si trova di fronte alla mezquita al centro di cordoba proprio nel quartiere ebraico, la parte più antica e caratteristica della città. l'hotel è adatto a tutti, dalle famiglie alle coppie giovani visto anche il buon prezzo che applica!

9.6

I thought the hotel was great for the low price. I will definitely stay there again when I am in Córdoba. It was in a perfect location and the hotel was very nice. I would highly recommend this hotel.

8.4

Very pleasant staff

7.1

We must ask for the reduction from Venere (4%). In the invoice they had forgotten it.

8.9

The hotel is a beautiful place with a great location. But there are two issues I want to point. First, the price that was announced in the website does not correspond with the ammount I paid. In the website they offered rooms for 60 euros, but when I confirmed my request, it said the price was 185 euros. Second, the air conditionate in the rooms is terrible. I had to open the window at night, because it was very hot inside. I called the front desk, but they said there was no way to modify the room temperature, because it was the same temperature for all the rooms.

6.3

The room is clean and well equipped. But it has stale smell because of bad ventilation. Space in the room is very limited.

9.6

Loved this hotel! Very convenient, quiet and comfortable, would highly recommend it.

7.9

Location is the greatest asset for this hotel which is right across from the Mezquita. It is well-located for visits to all of the sites of interest in Cordoba. Rooms were a bit small and Spartan, but were clean and well-maintained. Staff was helpful. Information led one to believe that breakfast was included (which it was not). One could not do much better for a one-night stay in Cordoba.

8.9

The most beautiful setting for a hotel; great location and very helpful staff.

9.1

Nice location and excelent service

7.4

Very good location.Modern facilities. Extremely poor insulation against noise from other rooms, hallway and floor/ceiling. The never ending request for guest opinion is too much and quite annoying.However I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

10

an outstanding hotel for the price, ideally located directly opposite the mesquita. only drawback was that, in early March, the nightlife in the immediately surrounding area was very quiet. Plenty of bars and restaurants 10 - 15 minutes' walk away.

7.6

pas d'eau chaude le matin, dans les 2 chambres.. dommage, ca gache tout

6.8

Good hotel, nice rooms and excellent location next to the cathedral and old town. But make sure you get a room looking to the street or the back of the building: rooms overlooking tiny inner yards can be very noisy with neighbours who shout and party in their room with their window opened till late at night. It sounded like we had the group of loud teenagers right in our room. We had to go down personaly to the reception at 11.30 PM after two unsuccessful calls untill the personal called them to close their window. In the shower, the hot water tap was not working properly and temperature kept on jumping from hot to freezing. This was not memded during our stay although we complained at the reception. A shame because otherwise this is a nice hotel as mentionned earlier. The breakfast buffet was varied and good.

9.0

The hotel was very nice. The only problem was, that the phone in the room did not work. Although I told the hotel staff what was the problem about three times, nobody came to fix it.

9.8

Highly recommended. The rooms and the surrounding are magnificent, so is the relation price/quality. By far the best hotel I stayed in during my trip and the cheapest of them all. The personnel is highly efficient and in 24 hours forwarded me items I had left back.

8.9

Great Location, Great Prices! Check out the ancient ruins under the glass floor downstairs. But make sure you have the valet staff park and unpark your car for you... It's a tight garage.

8.9

Outstanding value for money. But we found the room noisy. Hallway noise very lound in room.

9.0

This hotel was in a wonderful position, right opposite The Mesquita. We had a lovely view of The Mesquita, but perhaps a room overlooking the inner courtyard would have been quieter. The service was good, but the dining room tables were very untidy due to being busy. Staff were not too helpful on that morning. The breakfast was reasonable. The position in the best thing about this hotel

8.9

We stayed in Cordoba for 2 days. The hotel was very well placed just opposite La Mezquita. The room was very spacious, definitely the most spacious out of the six 4 star-hotels we've been to in Spain. Our room had a lovely view of the hotel courtyard. Price-wise was abit more expensive than other hotels in Spain but still cheaper compared to hotels in Ireland.

9.9

This hotel was pleasant in all ways. Very centrally located, clean with a very pleasant staff. Always felt safe and the breakfast buffet was excellent. Plan to spend a little time in the garden area sipping a cool drink..very pleasant. Only thing I can think that would make this better is a "bit" more air conditioning. Good but I prefer cooler.

9.9

The Hotel El Conquistador exceeded our expections!

9.1

The view from the room was very nice. A bit noisy one night because of a mariage taking place in the hotel but nothing dramatic. The parking is very small and costs 12euros per night. A bit difficult to find with a car and all the one-way roads that do not match the map and the GPS. Overall a very good stay!

8.6

In the center of Cordoba, very near to everything. Good service, clean, kind personnel. SUGGESTED

10

Hotel is in old city square across from the mosque-church. Our window opened out onto the wall of the mosque which is exquisite. The hotel even displays Roman ruins - although discreetly.

9.1

Beautiful accomodation, very well located in Cordoba

7.6

Very nice hotel, great location, friendly staff. We found the parking essential.

9.0

Hotel el Conquistador ha sido la mejor opción en mis vacaciones. Había diseñado una ruta por toda Andalucía y, con mucho, este hotel en Córdoba ha sido el mejor de todos. La relación calidad precio es increíble y donde está localizado (delante de la mezquita) parecía un sueño. Lo peor de todo es que en un lugar tan céntrico es imposible aparcar sin pagar un elevado precio, para aquellos que nos gusta viajar en coche.

4.1

This hotel is value for money except the service is terrible. There was only one helpful staff there. I had to wait upto 45minutes at the reception desk before being seen to. It took 67minutes to be asked what I'd like to drink in the restaurant. So make sure you're not in a hurry if you decide to stay here!!

9.2

Rapporto qualità/prezzo davvero ottimo. Domandate una delle stanze con vista verso la strada, e direttamente dal vostro letto potrete ammirare le magnifiche mura della Mezquita! Mai dormito in una stanza così suggestiva!

7.3

It was a one-way to the hotel, and we had to go against the traffic to enter the hotel, and at first we didn't know we were allowed to do so. I'd have preferred if they'd told us this. In the end, we went to the information center and asked. The hotel's just big, nothing special.

9.4

Lucky I had to call the hotel the morning before our arrival 'cause they didn't have our reservation!! something went wrong in the web processing... and lucky they had rooms as it wasn't high season, I just had to forward them our email confirmation that showed everywhere "all confirmed". By the way, I opened a ticket in on the website where we made the reservation (not Venere) and never got any acknowledgement/ sorry note back ... Other than that the hotel and service was pretty much excellent for a great price :-)

8.9

Situation parfaite , très belle chambre limite luxe. Le personnel ne parle pas français... internet payant.

9.9

A wonderful surprise. Excellent location, although directions as to how to reach the actual hotel were rather vague. Breakfast was amazing and whole ambience of hotel first rate.

9.4

Excellent hotel in every way

7.9

Best location in front of the Mezquita. Hotel has its own garage. Good buffet breakfast.

8.3

My son (26) and I made our first trip to Spain and spent a couple days in Cordoba. The hotel was great... located in the middle of the historic district... a short walk to other areas. We walked from the train station. The room & lobby was clean and the service was excellent. If I go back... this will be the first place I check for reservations.

9.6

The location cannot be beat. The view outside our window was of the Mezquita, which was lighted at night and very beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and clean.

9.8

I visited Cordoba several times. And el Conquistador was the one of the best Hotels. Quiet, convenient to visit histrical areas, there are many good Bars and restautante ner the hotel, thanka.

9.3

Very comfortable hotel with a fantastic view from the hotel room to the Mezquita, which is just across the narrow road. WE have never been to Cordoba before.

9.7

We had difficulty to find the place, as they sent us a map by fax to our Granada Hotel with indication from the opposite direction (Madrid?) we come from. (Granada is south from Cordoba). Everything else was really excellent, the Garage service, the rooms, the bathrooms clean and spacious.

9.9

The best possible location in order to visit the Mezquita/Catedral. Very nice Taberna just 200 meters far away called "Rafael" ...

9.2

il serait utile de mentionner le prix exorbitant du petit déjeuner, à savoir 15 € par personne, ce qui double quasiment le prix de la chambre. Ceci dit, des petits cafés proposent autour d'excellents petits déjeuners pour 15 € à quatre !!

8.8

non c'è posizione migliore a cordoba. difronte all'hotel c'è la mezquita. a due passi le viuzze tipiche e i locali da tapas e stuzzicherie varie (consiglio la bodega mezquita). l'hotel ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo in tutto, l'unica cosa sono le signore delle pulizie che come delle maniache pulscono tutto in continuazione nei corridoi facendo anche un bel pò di rumore, ma sopportabile in confronto al resto. consiglio vivamente a tutti.

8.9

Hotel is good in a superb location just in front of the Mesquita. There has been a difficulty by the employeee in accepting the rate published by Venere. The problem as been sorted out quickly by showing our confirmation letter.

4.4

We order a double room and the hotel wants to give us a twin. No breakfast included. Parking full. Very poor welcoming, to much people staying at the front desk with only one employee.

9.9

Beautiful hotel in fantastic position if you want to see Cordoba generally and the Mezquite in particular. Delightful restaurant in a tranquil, romantic courtyard. Staff very knowledgable about local attractions, and happy to make reservations. At the Venere price we paid, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.7

The staff and attitudes let the hotel down badly. The road outside was closed (not the hotel's fault) however this made the car park impossible to use and there was no plan in place to help us, their paying clients . A German couple had called the night before to be told that yes there was a car-park - they were even less impressed than me. The staff had no alternatives to offer, no idea where we could park and couldn't care less. They couldn't even offer a decent map of Cordoba to help us find a car park. In the end we drove around for an hour and found a 24 hour place the other side of town (1hour walk back in the 42C heat, and I am pregnant !)which also cost us additional money and wasted a huge amount of our time. It was very badly handled and a real nuisance as one of the key reasons we chose this hotel was its location AND having a car park !! They obviously had not bothered to inform Venere.com either ...very poor and the attitude of the staff was to refuse to help. I travel a huge amount and was horrified that they had no alternative arranged with the council, or a car park or another hotel. Roads are not just dug up on the spur of the moment, and it had obviously been going on for a while and yet nothing had been thought about. The restaurant staff had a similar attitude and we were lucky that we were served for dinner, albeit very slowly, although we did see other people walk out of the restaurant as they had been ignored. It was very strange : very unhappy staff who aren't interested and not serving you is not what you expect from a 4 star property. It is such a shame as the location is wonderful, right next to the Mezquite and the hotel rooms were immaculate and lovely. It's obviously a very unhappy place to work and the management don't seem to inform their staff and they certainly don't try and solve problems !! I would not recommend the hotel again and strongly advise your contracting team to check the hotel and facilities and attitudes out !! (

8.6

ottima posizione, hotel molto bello e accogliente, garage adiacente (necessario) solo qualche piccolo problema di raggiungibilità per lavori in corso (basta girare attorno alla mezquita)ma nulla che possa mettere in difficoltà un italiano ;-) Sicuramente consigliato!

9.2

Major road works were taking place at the time of our visit, right outside the hotel, but it didn't affect our stay. The rooms are clean and airy and the hotel is perfectly located!

8.3

It was unfortunate that for the period of our stay extensive, and very noisy, work was being done on the main road outside,which was difficult for everyone getting in or out of the hotel.However,the double-glazing in our room was extremely effective, and we didn't seem to hear the din when we sat in the lovely garden area in the afternoon. This was our second stay - and we'll go again. And what a fantastic location - looking out of our room at the wall of the mesquita. Magical at night-time!

10

First class hotel in wonderful location across from the Mezquita. Our room (2001) overlooked the street where Semana Santa processions passed. Fantastic! Easy walking distance to many attractions, shopping and restaurants.
