Puerta de la Luna

The best thing about this hostel is its location - at the very heart of the tourist center of Cordoba, few minutes walking from the Mosque and everything one wants to see in Cordoba. The rooms are spacious, bathroom is clean and the terrace is beautiful! They also have a seating area and kitchen, which is really helpful. Overall, surely recommended.

We arrived during evening after a longish drive from Malaga Airport. We were offered one of their "best" rooms, which was basically a barebones space with no wall hangings or amenities, with toilet and shower in the same room, separated from the bed area by a transparent plate of glass. I have stayed in much nicer hospital rooms. Well, that was enough for us. I cancelled immediately, but it was too late to move hotels. ******* immediately emailed me to say we had to pay for one night, not the 3 that we booked and paid for at check-in. No matter to the hotel owner. He said that the "policy" was no refunds, ever. So, we endured one night in this place. What else to report? There were only 2 rooms for normal occupancy. The others, down a separate corridor which reeked of urine, were effectively for 4-6 people per room in bunk beds. All of the guests, apart from us, were student backpackers. As for breakfast, there was a common, delapidated kitchen. Some girl came in at 9:00 to make a pot of coffee. She brought with her some rolls, cheese and ham from a supermarket. That costs extra. As does the parking lot down the street. We moved to a 4 star hotel right next to the main mosque. That cost us, all told, perhaps €25 more per night. As for Puerta de la Luna, they should be delisted from OTAs such as *******. The place should be put out of business.
