This hotel is right across the street from one corner of the Mesquita - Catedral and in the middle of the historic old town. Walkabouts are quite easy and full of interesting things to see free and to enter with tickets: equestrian dressage, historic dwellings, museums. Or you can just sit and eat.

Amazing place
The location is amazing. History is at your doorstep. The neighbourhood is simply beautiful. I was upgraded to a room with a large, south facing terrace on arrival. The room and bathroom were large and very clean. Radiator in the room was appreciated. It was warm enough to sit out on terrace in the middle of the day and the ambience is great. Rest of the hotel is clean and pleasant. Receptionist is very helpful.

What can you expect with this price.
Area is not as good as some would expect. Smelly area may be due to nearby church. Hotel was okay.

The Alzahar is a great choice for a serious traveler who wants the convenience of a very central location, without much tourist noise or crowds, and is ok with a hostal as opposed to a hotel. The rooms face toward an interior patio, which may not work for privacy worriers, but is very Spanish.

This hotel is perfectly situated in old town. The Mezquita is right across the street! Although very well situated it is on a quiet street with excellent shopping close by. The basic rooms are tiny by any standard but nonetheless extremely clean and quiet!

Clean, comfortable great location
We thought this was a perfect quaint place to stay. The staff are very friendly, helpful people. They upgraded us since it was a quiet time of year for €5.00 per night. In the morning we walked a few meters to the entrance of the Mesquita (which is right beside the Hostal Azahar). Mesquita has free entrance from 08:30 - 09:30. We took Bus 3 from and to the Cordoba train station €1.30 each way. (As soon as you reach the corner of the Mesquita, turn and look behind you to see the Hostal). The bus stop is a few minutes of walking but easy. I would absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend this hostal to friends.

Nice hotel, right next to the Mezquita
Hotel is situated in the centre of old Cordoba, very handy for all the sights and right next to the Mezquita (very handy for the free entry between 8:30 - 9:30). Having said that, we did not hear the noise and it had a feeling of calm. The staff were extremely helpful .

Amazing and cozy room with the blue- white/ mediterranean style. I love it a lot. The wifi is strong enough. However, the only con is that there is no 24 hour front desk service. Only for 8am-9pm, such pity.

Location, Location, Value
My second stay at Azahar. As before a simple room emaculately presented with TV, Air Con, WiFi and a small showeroom. They lay on free tea and coffee in the afternoons in the courtyard where it is plaeseant to sit and meet other travellers .Breakfast was round the corner a Pillars (3 to 4 Euros). Located opposite one corner of the Mezquita makes it a real gem.

We booked 2 three bed bedrooms which were excellent and great value for money. Reception were very helpfull with the parking and with recommendations for the local restaurants to cater for three adults and two young children. Rooms are clean and well equipped. Would definitely stay again as it is so central and ideal for site seeing

Great location!
This hotel is in the old part of town, and understandably, the rooms are old and reflect the design of another era. The location is really excellent for sightseeing. Although it is right next to the cathedral, I never heard the church bells. The main reasons for the less than stellar scores involved comfort items, like bath gel and shampoo, and adequate counter space in the bathroom. We got little sample packets of both shampoo and gel, but there is really not enough gel for a shower. The only space (other than using the bidet!) for toiletries was a small shelf that kept falling off. The management provides coffee/tea and a snack at 4:30pm in their patio, and that is a nice touch. It also lets you meet some of the other hotel guests. Because the windows face into that open patio, some guests leave their windows open to get fresh air without worrying about security. As a result, you may be treated to more noises coming from your neighbors than you bargained for. All in all, though, I'd stay there again. You simply can't beat the location!

Small place, nice people and perfect location
They took the trouble to contact us directly to give us excellent directions without which we would have struggled. Our car was too big for their parking so we put it in the nearby Mezquita Parking which was reasonable and safe. The only window in our room was onto the passageway which overlooked an internal courtyard so it was a bit too dark. Also the hotel building seemed to amplify every little cough, laugh or cry and the plumbing was very noisy. But, for the price and position we can't complain. At 16:30 each afternoon they put out free tea and coffee which was very welcome.

Fantastic location, good value.
Great location - just over the road from the Mezquita in the historical centre of Cordoba. Hard to beat. The hotel is basic but very nice, with small open courtyards in the middle. Our room was small but perfectly nice. Very helpful staff. Free (and nice) coffee in the afternoons. Would happily stay again.

Location, location and simple quality
The hotel could not be any closer to the Mezquita, 400m to the Puente Romanao and not much farther to the Alcasar. I am still undecided which World Heritage sight, Cordoba or Granada's Alahmbra is the best and doubt I ever will decide. Watching the sunset over the Puente Romano is a must see.

Helpful staff, convenient location
We had a lot of questions and the front desk people were very helpful - also happy to do things like print tickets off for us, arrange a bottle opener when we wanted a bottle of wine, and so on, which some other 2-star type places have not been willing to do. The room was a bit basic, but this kind of friendly service and the location more than made up for it. And in terms of value for money, the condition of the room was totally fine!

Really nice little hotel in the centre of Cordoba. The staff were very helpful & friendly. Bedrooms were clean & tidy. Complimentary afternoon coffee in the courtyard was a nice touch. Ideal location for the Mezquita and the rest of historic Cordoba. They don't do breakfast in the hotel, but directed us to a great café (Ramblon's) just outside the old city walls. I'll use this hotel again when I go back there.

Basic but comfortable room in a nicely decorated hotel in a great location next the the Mesquita and 2 minute walk to the roman bridge. Helpful friendly staff with good English. Top notch restaurant across the road (sorry can't remember the name but directly across from front door). Some hot water limitations in the room (100L tank apparently) but we didn't run out so only of concern if you like a long shower.
