one of the worst hostels I have ever been. Shared rooms are always open and accessible to everyone. No chill area. Open roof with water pouring into the hostel when it rains
I don't think I would ever go back here, it was the worst hostel I ever stayed at, for multiple reasons. Let's start with the positives, they offer free coffee and tea, the locations is GREAT, and the people I met here were the absolute best (no thanks to the hostel). The bathrooms I guess were okay, the light was going out every 2 minutes but they were clean and they have these stalls with sink, shower and toilette in it. They gave you sheets but they are weird. But it was cold everywhere, th...
3 baños de hombres para todo el hostel y encima había que salir por un patio en invierno….
3 men's bathrooms for the whole hostel and on top of that I had to go out on a patio in winter....
No volvería. No había agua caliente para ducharse. Cuando fui a preguntar la persona me trató horrible y tuve que pedirle q la arreglara 2 veces más. Cuando finalmente logré bañarme (luego de más de 1 hora de espera), el salía muy poquita agua. Por último, había una cucaracha en la escalera.
I would not go back. there was no hot water to shower in. when i went to ask the person treated me horribly and i had to ask him to fix it 2 more times. when i finally managed to bathe (after waiting for over 1 hour), very little water came out. finally, there was a cockroach on the stairs.
This hostel was more like a kids camp. If you’re happy to have the hostel dominated by French school groups then please stay here. The shower rooms which one must hike to are horrific. There’s three showers for the whole hostel and the water pressure is weaker than my 94 year old grandmother. You will not be able to lather anything soap and will feel even dirtier when you come out. If you’re a 18-30 traveler don’t stay here
Beware! We spent the whole day in transit traveling from Porto and Cordoba was our first stop in Andalusia. We arrived at the front door around midnight. When we came to their premise on 22nd of April the hostel was shut down. When I ringed the bell they didn't let me in their premise even though I booked months in advance. Me and my girlfriend had to spend the night on a park bench in Cordoba... But nevertheless, the next morning they charged the full amount for my booking because the webs...
No vibe. Mosquitoes. No air con.
Auberge qui manque de chaleur. Je vais tâcher d'énumérer les points + et -. Points + : Literie confortable et chambre femmes spacieuse très .Points - : Auberge sans chaleur humaine. Accueil distants. Manque de conforts près des lits (pas de table, lampe, rideaux). Mauvaise isolation, simple vitrage et rue passante. Salle de bain peu pratique (pas de support, serviettes pour les mains et lumière instable). Cuisine limitée(poêles abîmées, fermeture à 23h). Réception absente la nuit et ...
Hostel that lacks warmth. I will try to list the points + et -. points +: comfortable beds and very spacious ladies room .points -: hostel without human warmth. remote reception. lack of comforts near the beds (no table, lamp, curtains). poor insulation, simple glazing and alleyway. uncomfortable bathroom (no support, hand towels and unstable light). limited kitchen (damaged stoves, closing at 23h). reception is absent at night and dark place.
Al katre: no Strong smell of sewer/horse droppings/feces in the courtyard or even in the whole building Abusive cancellation policy: even if you take the bed rate with cancellation, it is not possible to cancel 4 days before arrival. They debited my account directly, I asked to cancel only one night 3 days and 20 hours before my arrival. They are part of Hostelworld which has a 2-day cancellation policy. Ants and mold in bathrooms, lockers broken in room !!
Good location, unfriendly receptionist, there was a turned off AC in a very hot night.

Tellement charmant, employé.es extrêmement accueillant.es, propreté constante et emplacement idéal. Un toît terrasse, une terrasse et une salle intérieure collective permettent de relaxer et discuter. Ces espaces ferment le soir à 23h ce qui offre une quiétude d’exception pendant la nuit.
Very charming, extremely welcoming, constant cleanliness and ideal location. a roof terrace, a terrace and a common indoor room allow for relaxation and discussion. these spaces close at 11pm which offers exceptional quietness during the night.
Really lovely place to stay. Staff so accommodating. Perfect location and a really attractive accommodation. Muchas gracias!!!
Lovely hostel inside, very pretty, clean and with an excellent central location. The staff are very friendly and there are good facilities. The only issue - and this is not the hostels fault - is that it's not terribly sociable. For most it is a stop between Granada and Seville, and so whilst it is very chill it's not the most lively.
Ambiance conviviale à deux pas de la mosquée, la meilleure auberge pour visiter Cordoue !
Friendly atmosphere a stone's throw from the mosque, the best hostel to visit Cordoba !
Muy bien ! Voy a volver
I'm going to go back to the store.
Perfect hostel, best I've ever stayed. No notes at all. It's amazing. I wish I had more time so I could've extended my stay. It's gorgeous, perfect location next to the Mezquita-Cathedral. Great vibe, very friendly staff, easy to make friends. Very well equipped kitchen. 100% recommended.
A really lovely hostel with very friendly staff! It even has a patio and a rooftop terrace.
It is a very loud place. next to the building there is a migrant office, which makes a bunch of people standing talking in front of the entrance. All the rooms are around the common places, which means If someone is talking until 23:00 (kitchen close) you are the part of the conversation, you want it or not.
Une charmante petite auberge très propre et super agréable. Du café, du thé et du chocolat chaud à disposition pour le petit déjeuner. Un accueil chaleureux. Une localisation parfaite, tout proche de la mezquita-catedral. Exceptionnel rapport qualité-prix !
A charming little hostel very clean and super nice. coffee, tea and hot chocolate available for breakfast. a warm welcome. a perfect location, very close to the mosque-cathedral. exceptional value for money !
Increíble hostel, muy lindo el ambiente y muy bien ubicado. Los que trabajan ahí son muy amables.
Amazing hostel, very nice atmosphere and very well located.
great location and staff. room was great and people were nice. only complaint is that the will hear everything happening on the street outside. single pane windows....
Amazing hostel, staff were lovely and very helpful. Would absolutely go back
Beautiful little hostel in the Jewish Quarter of the town. Cosy and spacious room. Lovely host. Close to many cafes, restaurants and colourful streets. Only downside was the lack of curtains for the beds (which I knew upon booking) and no shelf next to the bed for small items.
Near the tourist hot spots and bus stops. Terasse is nice with sunshining right through.
Superbe hostel, magnifique emplacement, magnifique atmosphère, et les gérantes sont très gentilles ainsi que l’ensemble du personnel! Je reccomande les yeux fermés
Superb hostel, great location, great atmosphere, and the managers are very kind as well as the entire staff!
one of the most beautiful, cozy and spacious hostels I have ever been to! people working there are super kind, there is plants everywhere and the whole hostel is the perfect place to lay low after exploring Cordoba! Would come again and stay even longer 💫
After needing a more lowkey environment I came to Cordoba and stayed here. I felt like I was at home. Very relaxed, very clean the whole hostel has such a calm atmosphere. The courtyard and terrace are so beautiful and lovely places to hang out. It does shut down its common spaces at 11 and is very quiet afterwards. They are very strict about it. But for anyone traveling to Cordoba cannot recommend this place enough if you want to feel like you’re on a true getaway.
Alles top, sehr nettes Personal und saubere Zimmer. Dachterrasse hat mir besonders gut gefallen.
Everything is top-notch, very neat, personal and clean rooms, and I especially liked the roof terrace.
Ok for a night, though not very social
Todo muy bien, ninguna queja, personal de 10. Altamente Recomendable. Para lograr el 10 considero que las literas deberían tener cortinas individuales para una estancia más cómoda. Pero sin duda repetiría.
All very well, no complaints, staff of 10. highly recommended. to achieve the 10th i consider that the bunk beds should have individual curtains for a more comfortable stay. but i would definitely repeat.
