Hesperia Cordoba - Cordoba, Spain 

We actually adjusted the dates of our trip to Spain so that we could stay at the Hesperia. A year ago, this was one of the top hotels (if not THE top one) in Cordoba. Not sure why it's dropped in the rankings. Our room was clean, quiet and modern, and had a fabulous view of the Mezquita... which by the way looks incredible at night. The most shocking thing about the hotel was that it had much better food than most restaurants in Cordoba, which apparently subscribe to the belief that you can serve anything to tourists since they won't be coming back anyway. Even the sangria was better (and stronger!) than at most restaurants, which tend to water it down or maybe do one of those powder deals, kind of like sangria kool-aid. The staff was cordial, including a waitress who was the nicest person we met in Spain despite her limited English. We thought this place was absolutely awesome and are puzzled by its drop in popularity.

Fuimos mi novio y yo este año, la verdad es que chapeau, un hotel genial, elegimos hasta el tipo de almohada, la habitacion con vistas a la mezquita, el baño requete limpio, caja fuerte, buena atencion, nada mas llegar te explican todo , como legar a los sitios, lugares de interes... Muy bien, ademas nos subieron el desayuno a la hab y nos lo colocaron y todo. Lo unico malo es q ese dia en la azotea habia un meeting de izq unida y no pudimos subir.... Y muxo ojo porq el puente q esta justo en la puerta del hotel q t deja cordoba a 2 min andndo esta en obras y hay q dar toda la vuelta, ir por el de la izq xq el de la derexa esta oscuro y lleno de gitanos. Mejor ir cuando este arreglado q ademas es muy bonito.
