The building and patio were very nice but the room looked awefully bare and the flaky walls could really do with some more painting. the reading lamps were not working, which made the room look even more gloomy , which is a shame for such a nice location.

Excellent hostel located within 5 walking minutes of the Mezquita in the characterful old district of the Juderia. The hostel itself is located in an old traditional house with a patio and is tastefully decorated. An awesome place to stay in Cordoba.

The hostel doesn't actually have a working kitchen at the moment - not a problem as there are lots of restaurants nearby but this is different to what was advertised. You have to hire sheets - in our dorm of 6 people only two people hired them, the rest slept directly under the blankets - I would definitely hire them since this is the case. Try to get an upper bunk, the lower ones have very little room between them and the next bunks. The staff are lovely and the location absolutely fantastic.

Great location in the centre of the old quarter. Bathrooms were really nice but didn't lock properly and out bed broke :/ More a family hostel vibe than a party atmosphere and the staff were really nice. Good for a short stay in Cordoba.

Place was cheap but I always think its cheeky when they sting you for money for sheets. Rooms don't get cleaned unless you request it. No Internet in the room. Cold and only heater gave more noise than heat. Girl on reception was nice but the place needs to be redone completely.

We can definitely recommend this hostel. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff was surprisingly helpful and attentive - when we asked if I could rent an additional blanket we got one for free + a heater to warm up the room :)

Kind hostel, confortable, good relation qualité-money. The rooms are big enough, beds more or less good, pillows maybe are a little soft, so if u have problems with that bring ur own. Our room had a terrace and on the top of the hostel there is a wonderful and big one, amazing. Lot of privacy and im sure that in summer with the Patio and top tertace fixed will be amazingly beautiful. Recommend it the location its wonderful, perfect, maybe a little far from ubiversity party, but i mean 10-15min.

Actually, We didn't stay at the hotel, the staff changed our place to stay. And the place is really bad. Have no feeling with it. We are five girls and booked one six-bed mixed room, but we have been separated to two different rooms. The bed is dirty, the staff o the working person is not so kindly. I don't like it at all.

Actually this is a review for anil hostel as we had to switch the hostel not as per our choice. Anyway we got a 6 beds room for 4people and private bathroom in the room -- same price. Hostel was clean & nice, Reception staff kind & helpful, it's just a pity that bedlinen and breakfast are NOT included in the price. I've been travelling with my family in Andalucia and this was the only hostel with no bedlinen included...but it seems a Cordoba trend anyway.

It was absolutely freezing and the rooms were dirty and very sparse. I think it may be better in summer but staying there in winter was a terrible idea.

We booked and paid for the hostel Seneca. They had a room for us. Then, days later, they informed us, we could not stay in the Hostel Seneca for technically reasens. They wanted to put us in another Hostel. We immidiately informed them not to go for this other Hostel (Seneca was recommended by friends!) We found another place. Then later they informed that, suddenly,there was place in Seneca? But we booked already the other place.But they let us pay for that night we could not stay!
