Occidental Hotel Cordoba

"The hotel is pretty far from tourist attractions. You should always call a taxi to get anywhere. Otherwise it is very nice hotel." - Jane Goldiner

"We found it difficult to reconcile earlier comments on this hotel with our experience. The hotel is located in a pleasant, affluent suburb, but there is only a 20/30 minute bus service to the city, and with only a couple of poor local restaurants you are rather stuck in the evening...especially since only one of the allegedly 'many' onsite restaurants was open, that being rather staid and expensive. Breakfast was good and the grounds (with pool) extensive but it failed to reach 4* quality in other respects. The rooms, though big, were in desperate need of a makeover, the ancient TV had no English language channels, the A/C was switched down at night making the room unduly hot with or without the window wide open, and internet access was costly. Most importantly, though, we found key staff at reception to be unfriendly and rather arrogant. Needs a management shake-up!!! We shall return to Cordoba but stay elsewhere... " - Rob Mawby

"Very nice hotel out of the city but with a direct 15 min link by bus. Lovely gardens and pool." - Anonymous

"This hotel is very smart & glossy, but the light refeshment we asked for as late lunch, having just arrived, consisted only of a toasted sandwich - nothing else was available. This sandwich was the worst, most expensive sandwich we have ever had. However the food in the evening was much better. There is a bus into the centre of the city which takes about 10 minutes, but it only runs every 30 minutes. A taxi costs 10 euros." - Anonymous
