Hotel Hospes Palacio del Bailío

Lovely hotel, centrally located for sightseeing on foot. A really beautiful building with enormous potential set over an ancient Roman villa and thermal hot spring. The rooms are comfortable although slightly lacking in terms of the decor relative to other similarly priced hotels. It would not take much to make them really luxurious and for this hotel to be truly exceptional. It just needs someone with a discerning eye. The food both at breakfast and in the a la carte restaurant was excellent and the staff both helpful and friendly.

we have stayed at hospes palacio del bailio a dozen or more times during 13 years of traveling to cordoba, and we always look forward to our next stay- this historical site and its surrounding buildings are at the heart and soul of ancient cordoba culture. there are visible roman ruins upon which the palace was later built. the restoration of the palace to hotel is brilliant and gives the experience of staying here an abiding sense of place and time. in addition, there is the welcoming and multi-lingual staff, the elegant and comfortable rooms, the excellent chef and menus, the bodyna spa with roman baths and the list goes on. the hotel takes whatever time and attention is needed to provide the guests--be they travelers, tourists, or locals-- with an ambiance both warm and friendly. highly recommend !!

I have to say this hotel was outstanding. It is a palace/mansion that has been beautifully restored with all modern comforts. There are elegant touches of its history, like iron gates, arches and wood doors, but the rooms are five star luxury. The rooms and lobby are quite modern. with marble baths, duvets, etc. The resaurant was an oustanding treat. Reasonably priced with elegant touches like a violin and piano at dinner service and exceptional service. The hotel sits atop Roman ruins and the floor of the restaurant is glass so you can see below. I did not try the baths, but I'm sorry that I didn't. But I must say the hotel staff was oustanding. It is very much a luxury hotel - 5 star. Marco and Pedro were beyond helpful changing a RENFE ticket that took 30 minutes. I highly recommend this hotel - you will enjoy a spectacular hotel and five star plus service.

I stayed there for the 2nd time on December 2024. My first time was on 2017. The hotel is lovely and located near the old town. Staff are friendly, welcoming and well trained Our room was in the ground floor directly on the internal garden and swimming pool. Historical attractions are walkable. Juts 10 minutes walk. I really recommend it specially for couples Parking is available by hotel (paid)

This hotel is beautiful! I could live here! Our deluxe room was incredible. Bedroom, huge bathroom with 2 sinks, dressing area and living room. Very clean. Beds are very comfortable. Hotel also smells amazing - very light and fresh smell. I was in the elevator with a couple and the woman asked what my perfume was - she loved the smell - lol - it wasn't me- it was the hotel fragrance. |Breakfast is very good. Fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. Alejandro made our stay extra special with incredible service. Great location to walk through town. Highly recommend!

This is likely one of the nicest and most architecturally interesting places I’ve stayed. The building itself is an old palace with beautiful architecture, including Roman ruins visible below the dining area. The rooms and amenities were beautiful and well maintained. Also, the Roman baths and pool area were both great for escaping the heat of the day. Convenient walk to all the key sites. Also, the staff were very friendly and responsive. I would absolutely stay again.

Wonderful hotel in the heart of the old city. Easy walking access to main sites, but away from noise of the touristic zone. Excellent service from the moment of arrival; our room, a “junior suite”, was huge, with comfortable furniture and modern, excellent bath facilities. Breakfast was very good, and the breakfast/dinner room itself if very interesting for sits look (through the floor!) at uncovered Roman ruins. Unfortunately we did not have time to enjoy the Roman baths or the pool, but both looked like worthy fits to the luxury vibe of the hotel. The hotel is somewhat expensive, but worthy of the extra spend.

Arrived at 1230 at the hotel to check in because we had a lunch reservation at the hotel at 1pm as well. They told us the room wasn't ready, but no big deal since we were going to lunch. Finished lunch around 2:30 and they told us the room was still not ready because check in is at 3. It is a Wednesday in their slow season and the hotel is empty. I am aware check in isn't until 3, but at a 5 star hotel they could make sure the room is ready.

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.
