Parador De Cordoba

The reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. We had free parking at the front of the hotel which was very convenient and safe. The room was clean and well maintained during our stay.

The restaurant is great. Make sure to reserve and the food is much better than the bar at the hotel.

Fabulous views from hotel

I’ve always wanted to stay in a Parador, Spain’s state-owned collection of luxury hotels, many housed in historic buildings or exceptional locations — so expectations were high when we booked the Parador de Córdoba. Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. The setting is superb, overlooking Córdoba with beautiful gardens & wonderful views across the city. The hotel was clean throughout, the staff were friendly and accommodating, & the plentiful free parking was a real bonus. The highlight was the huge swimming pool, set within the private gardens at the front of the hotel. With a lifeguard on duty, plenty of sun loungers & even a dedicated changing, toilet & shower block, it was an excellent place to escape the Córdoba heat. Free beach towels were also provided. Our 4th floor room was large, quiet & very comfortable. The only slight issue for us was the bathroom, where a walk-in shower would have been preferable as getting in & out of the bath to use the shower was a little awkward. We enjoyed a very good meal in the hotel’s large restaurant on our first evening, making the most of the convenience of dining on site. Our only real criticism was the lack of complimentary bottled water in the room or a water cooler in reception. With temperatures exceeding 40°C during our stay, easy access to chilled drinking water would have been particularly welcome. Overall, the Parador de Córdoba provided a memorable stay in a fantastic setting!
