Really DISAPPOINTED!! Worst things: There are not enough sheets, so you sleep more or less directly with these dirty woolen blankets. My friend got a really bad allergic reaction from them!!! For 20€ a night I at least expect a trash bin in the rooms. There are two machines to get some drinks, as there is no kitchen. In a hostel I would like to have "friendly" prices, but a SMALL water bottle was 1€.

Our bathroom smelled like mold which is no surprise because when we tried to take a shower the water spilled ALL OVER THE ENTIRE WOODEN FLOOR. This has obviously happened before and that´s where the smell was coming from. We reported the problem to the front desk so hopefully it will be fixed. Until that time, we would never stay here again. Also, the paint was chipping off the ceiling, from what looked like water problems from the room above us. Despite this, the bed was incredibly comfortable!

There were some bed bug issues, but other than that it's nice. I would prefer being given 2 sheets to avoid direct contact with both the mattress and blanket. I ended up with some 20 bites on my arms, legs and neck after one night there and have been miserable all week because of it.

Had to move from my initial choice (Anil hostel) to another one of the chain (Seneca hostel), maybe due to Hostelworld website (I found my reservation cancelled on hostelworld website, don't know how/why). Building old, sheets were not very clean (some stains) and broken. Very good position though.

There are no lockers in the rooms, but it is clean. The rooftop is great but there is no other common room so it was hard to meet people. But it located within walking distance of all tourist attractions.

I had a room for myself for 2 days but it seemed more like a stock room and the bathroom was not ensuite as I booked it. I also got bitten by some bugs, mosquitos or flees I dont know, but it wasnt nice at all.

Location is excellent in terms of being very close to all tourist attraction and indeed in the middle of the old town. Beautiful old street. However, just opposite to it, there is La Pataita - a nice place to have a dinner and watch flamenco show, but the shows are every night 11-1 pm and they are incradibly loud. One night we went and saw it, other night - we could hear it all from our room, which was tiring and annoying. The AC was dripping water.

I loved the fact that i had my private room and orivate bathroom inside the room, as well as wireless internet access. the location is good and the staff are very clear and laid-back. It was clean enough and secured with an electronic key

the staff was amazing and helped me way beyond their duties. there's an awesome, peaceful terrace, where you can make interesting acquaintances. the room was sort of small overall i'd definitely stay again

If there was a kitchen too it would be a top backpackers. No complaints here. A good choice for staying in Cordoba.

The position of the hostel is excellent but unfortunately the curtains of our room where dirty on the bottom and the linens had spots and holes on them also if they where clean. This is a good place to stay in Cordoba a few days if you want an almost good quality without spending a fortune.

Really friendly staff, quite a secure place, large patio on the roof to mingle (if it isn't too hot) and close enough to walk to most sites. It doesn't have a kitchen but it's sister hostel is only a few minutes walk away and you can use their facilities.

The Hostel is in a perfect central position. We had a double room, and it was very clean and comfortable. Its a little bit difficult to talk to the staff because most of them don't speak english, but they try their best so its really nice. Definitely a good Hostel that i would recommend.

A fantastic location - really not far from the main tourist areas and in the thick of the old, winding streets of Cordoba. The hostel itself was fine with not too cramped dorm rooms (although they were pretty flimsy and was in constant fear of breaking the slats of wood) plus free wifi. There weren't any proper facilities for guests (small reception with free internet) but there was a bar across the road with 'free' flamenco (was 'full' both nights we tried to go though). Perfectly fine hostel!

I had a very pleasant stay, I only really missed an air-conditioner or something similar. Their was one fan, however on the other side of the room it did not had any effect. In 43 degrees would a extra fan be very pleasant.
