Hostal Azahar, Córdoba

Authenticity

Esencia de Azahar translates to "the essence of the orange blossom," which you'll undoubtedly smell while strolling through the streets of Córdoba in the spring—a staple and heritage of the city. Relax on the terrace to get the full experience, decorated in traditional style with flower pots hanging from white-washed walls.

Location

It doesn't get much better than staying directly on Calle Cardenal Gonzalez, which parallels the river and leads you straight to the Mezquita-Catedral in less than five minutes. You don't have to walk far to find good restaurants, many on your street or along the riverbank. Other sites you can see by foot include the Córdoba Synagogue, Calleja de las Flores, and Plaza de la Corredera.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms are relatively simple with basic furnishings, yet they are comfortable. Some have wood-beamed ceilings and private terraces, while all have desks and views of either the city or the hotel's courtyard. The bathrooms are small and a little outdated. 

Other Highlights

You can enjoy a simple breakfast buffet in the hotel's dining area, but the terrace is the biggest highlight. You'll find wooden floors, tiled tables, colorful chairs, and blooming flower pots hanging from the white walls—the true essence of Córdoba.
