The communication from the property leading up to the stay was good - They recommended the Mezquita parking and gave clear instructions of where the office was located vs where I would be staying, codes to enter etc. I was travelling from Malaga and reached later than I expected around midnight and then the NIGHTMARE began. The room was terrible and a health hazard - I booked an ensuite triple room which was the only one available. I decided to pay extra due to convenient location in old town close to mezquita (even though I am alone as safety matters to me and I didnt want to share). The size of the room was good and there was a double bed and single bed and it was ensuite with tv all right but the room was SMELLING MUSTY with no ventilation in the bath and the ONLY WINDOW in the room opened into the central courtyard used by others so it was always closed shut! The office was closed at that hour and no staff around so I could not ask for a change. I started to wheeze and sneeze but it was too late to find an alternate hotel and I had to wake early for a tour booked in the am. The aircon was really old noisy & rattled away but was no use. Having no other option I just had to bear it all night - I opened the window but the smell still persisted so I slept poorly and I struggled to breathe and by morning I woke with a bad throat. Also the double bed subsided in the centre and was too soft luckily the single bed was ok. I cannot comment about the other rooms in the property

It’s a hostel, so things are not as luxurious as at a regular hotel. Indeed, I never saw any of the hostel staff. And we had a lot of confusion regarding check-in. However, once we checked in, the room was just fine for the price, and the location was convenient to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. Note: there is NO parking anywhere nearby. Even driving to the hostel to drop off bags is difficult, since the streets are mostly 2-2.5m wide, and twisty. But if you arrive by mass transit, it’s fine.

Tricky getting in but worth the effort.
A little tricky getting in with the reception some streets away from the actual hostel. Once in lots of space including a kitchen, laundry area and sun roof. A bit shabby very moroccan but I had a fantastic 3 nights sleep. Good value for the price I paid that was significantly less than the price advertised in the room.

Arc House Cordoba
We stayed in a private room at the Arc House and had a pleasant experience. The hostel was clean and conveniently located in the city centre, great for exploring Cordoba at a very reasonable price. There could have been better communication by the hostel prior to our arrival, as we were unaware that there was no reception at the hostel, and keys must be collected at their other location in the city (a short walk, but it was 36C when we arrived!). This info was detailed on the hotels.com website under the special instructions section, but it would have been useful to receive these instructions via email prior to arriving.

Very disappointing. If you have allergies avoid!
First, they were trying to charge our card before check-in, which was not the way all our other reservations were handled. Second, after we walked from the place to check-in to our hostel the room the gave us was unsuitable. You could smell the mold and mildew and the vents of the ac were black and very dusty. After changing the room to stay one night thank goodness, was dreary and almost felt like a cell. I have traveled the world and stayed in hostels before, so this was not my first go. The shower was a hand held devise and the bed covers looked very old. I would not advertise this place as a hotel at all.

The check in process was a horror. I contacted them the day before to find out where to check in even though it was the middle of the day and was told to go directly to the property and someone would be there. The doors were locked and getting someone on the phone was a pain. Someone finally came and checked me in. I sat on the front steps for an hour and was not happy.

Well Done Osio!
Osio hostel is located close to historic places. The hostel was clean and Claudia (Receptionist) was really polite and helping. Overall, a very good place to stay when you are traveling alone. I stayed for three nights and it was really comfortable.

Enjoyable place to stay in very central position.
The hotel was very central to the main tourist attractions and lots of places to eat. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The room was comfortable. The only issue was the time that it took the water to go hot in the shower. The kitchen was clean and the hostel provided tea, coffee, milk, cereals and muffins for breakfast as part of the accomodation i.e. free of charge. I really enjoyed my stay there. The shared spaces like the courtyard were pleasant to sit out in.

This hostal has excellent location, very close to Mesquita and other major sites. Very comfortable large room for a hostal. Come with complimentary simple breakfast (coffee and muffin). This is our favorite hostal among the 4 different hostels we stayed in Spain.

Marvellous Mesquite in Cordoba.
An oasis of tranquillity in the heart bustling weekend Cordoba. Close to the Mesquite and many restaurants and Tapas bars. Outdoor smoking is still a problem in Spain especially in restaurants and bars. Osio solarium furniture was dated and potplants have been used as ashtrays and are smelly. Kitchen and breakfast was adequate. Everyone was very friendly and spoke muliple languages well. The free entrance to the Mesquite was excellent( between 0830 and 0930). Well worth more than one visit. Take a free walking tour , they are excellent and the guides are very informative and helpful.

Great location and nice people, uncomfortable beds
Fabulous location and very nice people. The staff really tried to make everyone happy. I will say that we normally stay at high end hotels and our expectations are high but the beds were quite uncomfortable and there were several dead bugs in our room. They ask you not to flush toilet paper in the toilet which is gross to me. Otherwise it was clean and close to everything. I probably would look elsewhere next time but if I couldn't find anything, I would stay here again.
