Hotel Hospes Palacio del Bailío

Stunning hotel set in the old historic town of Cordoba. Walking distance to all the attractions, shops and restaurants. The hotel is perfect. The gardens and pool area is so pretty and gorgeous to sit for drinks or to relax. There’s a spa which we didn’t use but looks lovely. The rooms are very well appointed with everything you need. The shampoo and conditioner left my hair in the best condition for a long time. The staff could not do enough for you, with genuine kindness and friendliness. They recommended and booked us a lovely local restaurant for dinner at our request. 100% recommend this beautiful hotel and its genuine customer care and attention to detail.

I truly appreciated how friendly and accommodating everyone was at the hotel, especially considering my needs as a deaf guest. Communication via WhatsApp was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The dinner was delightful, and I’m grateful for the staff’s consideration of my food sensitivities.||||I also thoroughly enjoyed the Roman baths and the guided tour of the Roman ruins. Dining in the restaurant with a glass floor above the ruins was a unique experience, and learning how the previous owner discovered them added an extra layer of fascination.||||Additionally, the flamenco show at Tablao El Cardenal, which the hotel recommended, was fantastic. Although I couldn’t hear the music, the dancers' intricate movements, passion, and energy made the performance truly captivating.||||I would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone looking for memorable accommodations in Córdoba.

The hotel is situated not far from the main sights in Cordoba. It was an easy walk to the Jewish quarter, where the old streets are, the Roman bridge, Mezquita etc, as well as the main shopping area. We did the short-ish walk in from the railway station. The staff gave us a lovely greeting and took us to our room in the area of the hotel away from the road outside (not very busy but cars make a lot of noise due to the old narrow streets). Apparently, they do consider road noise when placing guest in rooms, a nice touch. However, our room (105) was awful. Breeze block walls, some tatty furniture and a view of an outside wall, nothing else. To be fair, we had booked one of their basic rooms, and it was clean and comfortable. Then we found the sink tap was leaking, the toilet flushed haphazardly and the shower took centuries to run warm (so bad I had a cold shower). Hence, we complained, not something we often have, or needed to do. Okay, these things should not have happened but the management, after deciding that this needed more than a quick fix, transferred us to a much better room, albeit with another leaking sink tap.|The ambiance of the hotel is lovely, the pool a welcome retreat from the sun, and the food very good indeed. I would certainly recommend trying the Michelin guide restaurant in the hotel for dinner.|If the hotel had been more diligent regarding the rooms I would have given it 5 stars but I would be happy to recommend it to anyone.

We'd stayed at a couple of other Hospes hotels and had been well treated, so booked a two night stay with confidence, to celebrate a wedding anniversary. There was a slight hiccup with our room on the first night, but our concerns were listened to by the management and we were given a lovely room for the second night.|The hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the Mezquita and other tourist attractions and we enjoyed both cooked and continental breakfasts on both days.|There's a small outdoor pool in a beautiful garden setting and plenty of shade to sit out in for those who don't like the savage heat in Córdoba. It would have been lovely to be able to have breakfast there every morning.|The hotel boasts the remains of a Roman villa below the dining room, which has a glass floor so that you can see it from above. Hospes has taken on the duty of caretaker to maintain the remains and it's open to visitors at certain times. |The hotel is very attractive and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. As we were leaving, we were offered two bottles of water for our car journey, which was a nice touch.|One thing to note is that if you're a wheelchair user, the spa wouldn't be accessible.

Great outdoor pool. Excellent food. Easy walk to most of the historic sites. Wonderful staff. Well appointed room. What is there not to like?! I will definitely stay here again the next time I am visiting the area.

One of my global favorites now. I don’t understand some of the other reviews… our experience with the staff was first class, especially Alberto, who gave us a personal tour of the Roman ruins below (he speaks Japanese pretty well, which might appeal to Japanese tourists). A concierge also helped us with our train reservations on the new private rail line, which has a website that is extremely unfriendly. Tucked in the quiet residential side of the old town, with nice cafes around, but we ate most of meals in the center garden…. Lovely! The pool is beautiful but only for a splash and not much for swimming. …the lounge chairs are excellent. The paid for a superior room and it was first class. The clientele seems to be too.

Lovely hotel, staff go above and beyond to make your stay a pleasant one. The little treats each day in the room was a nice touch. Food excellent and spa a very enjoyable experience. Great location for all the attractions. Wish our stay could have been longer. Will definitely book another hotel in the Hospes group for our next vacation.

We loved every aspect of this hotel stay: the location, the architecture, the beautiful pool and terrace area, our elegant and comfortable room, the breakfast and the welcoming reception team. (The complimentary bath products and the chocolates were the icing on the cake.)

By far the coolest hotel I've ever been to. Absolutely nothing wrong with this place. Spend whatever they ask.

I made a last minute expedia VIP booking at Hospes Palacio del Bailío in Córdoba. It had good reviews, and an appealing decor. The hotel offers 24/7 room service which I planned on taking advantage of with a long day of sight seeing. At check in I didn't receive any VIP benefits like a complimentary breakfast or room upgrade which was the first disappointment but was nothing compared to their customer service. I tried calling room service at 10:30 pm, it rang for about 5 minutes but nobody answered. I called reception at 11 pm to see if they could help connect me or provide another extension, to which they responded that the kitchen was busy and they would call me back shortly. I waited 15 minutes then I walked down to the hotel restaurant where they told me it was closed but Fernando would take my order and have it sent to my room. An hour goes by so I called to check on my order, they said it was on its way. Another half hour until a server arrives to deliver a tray, and he drops it off and quickly leaves without opening the food cover. I lift the cover to find that it isn't what I ordered, so I call down to room service but they don't answer so I call the front desk. They advised the food I ordered was all out so they brought me something else and that the salad descriptions needed to be expanded upon. They showed no respect or common sense to call me to let me know that I would need to select another entree or that the word "salad" doesn't best describe the dish. I speak Spanish, I read the description in both languages so I am totally perplexed by their poor food description. They finally offered to make me something else, but I said I wasn't going to wait another hour and a half for food. They still charged me for the dinner after all of that. I contacted the hotel who offered to make accommodations for me the next time I visit instead of fixing things here and now. I obviously don't have any plans to return to Córdoba in the near future.

Amazing hotel. I don't know where to start. The service especially was great. The rooms are like lavishly furnished apartments- and ours opened onto the pool. Actually it might be larger than our apartment in New York. The bathrooms are fantastic. It was the little details that make the hotel really special, on arrival, they offer you water flavored with whatever fresh fruit they have that day; when you enter the room there are delicious little sponge cakes waiting on the table. When we first arrived, they asked if we wanted a tour of the hotel. I now understand why, there are so many beautiful features for example, there is glass floor in the dining room with an archaeological dig below. The pool is surrounded by orange trees and it is extremely relaxing to sip sangria there. My only complaint was the the room was extremely hot at night (it was summer) and the bed was hard (which was the same in all hotels we stayed in in Spain). The food at the pool was also terrible so I recommend eating elsewhere - plus the service at the pool was really spotty.

A magnificent Museum Palace Hotel in the center of Cordoba that is absolutely stunning, with excellent service, charming people, lovely spa therapists with Roman Baths, and delicious food. The General Manager, Alberto Perez takes great pride in his hotel and his esteemed staff. He also provides exquisite tours of the hotel not to be missed. The staff especially Laura who is the concierge does an incredible job of planning your trip not to just their properties but also arranges a driver if you wish (for a fee) to take you wherever you want to visit in his Mercedes in and around the area. Sets up visits with a personal guide. I have never had such incredible service and Laura is so lovely and kind as is the entire staff lead by a very experienced hotelier, Alberto Perez. Not only do they want to help you they are magicians in getting it done asap. They have a sense of urgency here and take their guests seriously and want you to be happy. The entire team including Marco is fantastic they all work together to make sure everything you want is seamlessly provided. Most 5 star hotels do not want to do the leg work they expect the traveler to know everything and outsource you back to your pc. This team is so well trained yet so friendly and welcoming I am going back once again to my beloved Museum Palace in November.

In Cordoba to find the best food, service, pool and old world style with clean crisp styling you must experience this place. Their breakfast pays homage to all the great foods in the South of Spain. It is worth every Euro and than some!

This place is absolute heaven. Made the on-the-go tourist just want to stop and relax. Has history, gorgeous design, luxurious pool, fabulous food and amazing service. Well done.
