Hotel Albucasis

Hotel Albucasis

Although the hotel is located in a beautiful part of Córdoba's historic-monumental quarter, and a mere stone's throw from the Mosque, you will wake up in the morning in a wonderfully peaceful environment, only broken by the ringing of the old Cathedral's bells. It is close to all you want to see and the city is very walkable. In fact, walking is the only way to see most of the sights.

The hotel, a two-star accommodation in the centre of the Jewish Quarter of this beautiful city, was built in 1889. Its quiet, hospitable atmosphere is perfectly complemented by the quality service offered by its five, friendly employees. You immediately feel at home and can relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Hotel Albucasis can accommodate 24 people in its 15 rooms. 9 are double rooms, while 6 are single. We were told that the hotel also has extra folding beds and cots available if required.
The size means that the hotel has a friendly feel and it’s easy to meet other guests over a drink or at breakfast.

All rooms have air conditioning, heating, internet telephone and television. The room we had was of reasonable size but as expected only basic amenities. If you are looking for luxury or fancy decoration - this is not the place for you. What the room lacked in style was made up for by a nice view of the hotel's lovely garden terrace. The room was clean and there was a nice, if dated, bathroom. Like most hotels we stayed in during our time in Spain, sound insulation within the hotel is not very good.

There's a very good continental breakfast for €6 but there is also a very nice Tea House just round the corner. The reception, dining room and lounge area are all nice but the highlight is undoubtedly the garden terrace. This is in the centre of the hotel so it is quiet, protected from the wind and wonderfully intimate. The location and the terrace were enough for me to justify the room rate of €80 per night.

Other features worth mentioning are the elevator, the indoor car park, and facilities for disabled access. I must say that this is the type of hotel I most enjoy; small, quiet and friendly. If you need entertainment, the city is just outside and there are plenty of bars, restaurants and nightlife if you need it.
