This was a very basic property, and was fine for one night. It is a hostel, and was great for the time we slept there. Cordoba, has no ubers and we ended up walking half an hour the next morning to the train station, because taxis are not great either. But in general was a good hostel
The communication from the property leading up to the stay was good - They recommended the Mezquita parking and gave clear instructions of where the office was located vs where I would be staying, codes to enter etc. I was travelling from Malaga and reached later than I expected around midnight and then the NIGHTMARE began. The room was terrible and a health hazard - I booked an ensuite triple room which was the only one available. I decided to pay extra due to convenient location in old town close to mezquita (even though I am alone as safety matters to me and I didnt want to share). The size of the room was good and there was a double bed and single bed and it was ensuite with tv all right but the room was SMELLING MUSTY with no ventilation in the bath and the ONLY WINDOW in the room opened into the central courtyard used by others so it was always closed shut! The office was closed at that hour and no staff around so I could not ask for a change. I started to wheeze and sneeze but it was too late to find an alternate hotel and I had to wake early for a tour booked in the am. The aircon was really old noisy & rattled away but was no use. Having no other option I just had to bear it all night - I opened the window but the smell still persisted so I slept poorly and I struggled to breathe and by morning I woke with a bad throat. Also the double bed subsided in the centre and was too soft luckily the single bed was ok. I cannot comment about the other rooms in the property

Nice location, clean rooms and bathroom, very nice place
Except for the hotel being central, there is not much else to enjoy, the bed sagged in the middle. You could hear the talking and the snoring of the neighbours through the wall. There was a motorcycle stop right below the window and they were roaring all morning. The AC had a clicking noise. Checking was horrendous even hotels.com weren’t able to reach them by phone. They keep you on the edge till the last minute before you can check in. All in all I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re staying for a night or max two but be aware of the check in procedure. They are hard to reach.
The accommodations were fine. But, the check-in process was unnecessarily complicated.
We had to contact the property more than 24 hours before check-in to receive instructions and then told that instructions would be provided through WhatsApp, an app that we did not use. When we arrived at the property to drop off our luggage, we had to call a number that directed us to a different property (Arc House Mezquita) a 6-minute walk away for drop-off.
Some Customers of the hostal were very noisy at night.

Tricky getting in but worth the effort.
A little tricky getting in with the reception some streets away from the actual hostel. Once in lots of space including a kitchen, laundry area and sun roof. A bit shabby very moroccan but I had a fantastic 3 nights sleep. Good value for the price I paid that was significantly less than the price advertised in the room.

Arc House Cordoba
We stayed in a private room at the Arc House and had a pleasant experience. The hostel was clean and conveniently located in the city centre, great for exploring Cordoba at a very reasonable price.
There could have been better communication by the hostel prior to our arrival, as we were unaware that there was no reception at the hostel, and keys must be collected at their other location in the city (a short walk, but it was 36C when we arrived!). This info was detailed on the hotels.com website under the special instructions section, but it would have been useful to receive these instructions via email prior to arriving.
Stay was excellent but check in process was very painful. It was a virtual check in. No one to help. I asked even a day before that if someone would be there so I can leave my luggage. They said yes but no was there. No one answering a call or opening a door. No use of ringing a bell. 5 minutes after they start responding on WhatsApp. They provide a link so I fill form to check in. Then there was a separate form for a guarantee. WE have to provide a credit card information. What if some tourist has no data or internet. They cannot check in here and no one there to help.

It’s a hostel, so things are not as luxurious as at a regular hotel. Indeed, I never saw any of the hostel staff. And we had a lot of confusion regarding check-in. However, once we checked in, the room was just fine for the price, and the location was convenient to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing.
Note: there is NO parking anywhere nearby. Even driving to the hostel to drop off bags is difficult, since the streets are mostly 2-2.5m wide, and twisty. But if you arrive by mass transit, it’s fine.
The check in process was a horror. I contacted them the day before to find out where to check in even though it was the middle of the day and was told to go directly to the property and someone would be there. The doors were locked and getting someone on the phone was a pain. Someone finally came and checked me in. I sat on the front steps for an hour and was not happy.
I need to share how awful my experience was at Arc hotel in Córdoba. Last night, there was no power, no hot water, and no internet. I tried contacting you several times, but got no response. When you finally sent someone, it was in the middle of the night—way too late.
While all of this was happening, I was dealing with Hotels.com, who thankfully refunded me so I could book another place to stay. The hotel was filthy, dark, and honestly dangerous to walk around in the darkness. The communication was terrible, and the whole place felt neglected.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, the decoration was a nightmare. It looked like some bizarre horror show—tacky and absurd, with decor that felt like creepy clown art or something straight out of a bad circus. Totally tasteless and unsettling.
I’m genuinely disappointed and would never recommend this place to anyone.
First, they were trying to charge our card before check-in, which was not the way all our other reservations were handled. Second, after we walked from the place to check-in to our hostel the room the gave us was unsuitable. You could smell the mold and mildew and the vents of the ac were black and very dusty. After changing the room to stay one night thank goodness, was dreary and almost felt like a cell. I have traveled the world and stayed in hostels before, so this was not my first go. The shower was a hand held devise and the bed covers looked very old. I would not advertise this place as a hotel at all.

Bed experience
This was the worst experience for a long time.
1- I was in several hostels but this is the first time in my life that I was asked for a credit card as a guarantee despite having paid online through this website. I spent an hour at the reception to find a solution but the hostel insists on having my credit card. so I ended up giving my credit card details because I had no choice to cancel.
2- Second, you are not given the room key directly, you have to go outside the building to retrieve the key from a small box. I entered the code but I can't find my room key, it's too complicated.
3- Third, the lockers are numbered but everyone can put their suitcases in any locker. There is no respect for the locker number which is linked to the bed number.
4- The lockers are small. if you have a large suitcase or if you have two suitcases then you will be stuck.
5- in the checkout, you have to put your key in a box, they don’t inform you in advance about this. It is not easy to find this box.
6- there are two receptions. By Google maps, you find the one which is in the main doors where guests stay but it is not the official one and the guy is not always there.
7- as soon as the hostel gets your number, they start contacting you by whatsapp to ask you to book through their website to get a discount.
The only good thing, is that it is well located and the make the beds everyday, not like in other hostels.
No vi ningún viñedo. No hay personal que te reciba, tampoco vi tiendas cerca.
El lugar estaba limpio, pero muy descuidado, los artículos del baño están todos oxidados.
El lugar es de difícil acceso o imposible acceso en auto.
Las indicaciones para entrar fueron precisas, pero para salir el check out es a las 10:00 cuando para la mayoría es a las 12:00, no había nadie en recepción, dijeron que la recepción abría a las 10:00 y luego que no tenían gente en recepción.,
No nos sentimos cómodos

Läget är inget fel på men verkligheten stämmer inte med information. Kalla rum, toaletten och dusch är gemensamma och mycket smutsiga. En toalett av två funkade inte. Mycket ljud om natten från andra,gäster .
