Lovely traditional Spanish house just inside the old city walls on a very narrow internal street. Our room was clean, quiet and spacious, the staff were friendly and helpful. The Hotel has three parking spaces which we didn't use but I would ask / book one before arriving. The house has no restaurant but breakfast is but a few minutes walk away with at least three different options to choose from. Very good location, just minutes away from the old town sights by foot. We stayed 5 nights.

O estabelecimento é extremamente bem localizado. fica no centro histórico de Córdoba em uma rua muito charmosa. O quarto, apesar de muito pequeno, estava bastante limpo e perfumado. A preocupação com a limpeza foi uma das coisas que mais me chamou a atenção. Desejo voltar em breve. O valor da tarifa representa um excelente custo benefício.

4 days backpacking in Cordoba

It was good! Really lovely little place. Not sure if the receptionists spoke much English but the place was lovely. Shower worked well, air con was a life saver - only slight issue which is probably not fixable was a few ants here and there, but as it’s such an open hotel there’s really not much that can be done about that. Location is great, moments away from the Mezquita Cathedral, would recommend coming here, especially if you’re backpacking etc. Slight disadvantage that the station is about a half hour walk away.

Very good location and comfortability for its price. The bathroom was terrific. It is really near the cathedral and Bridge. Aside from the hotel, Córdoba does not worth more than 1 day of visit. Such a boring city to me.

Charming Little Hotel In The Old Town of Córdoba

Our two nights stay here had been very pleasant, in fact, a little bit more than expected. We did, however, had some troubles trying to locate the street (directions) driving to the hotel as there were restricted zones that we thought we couldn't drive through. We had park across the river over the Puente de Miraflores. It wasn't until we checked in (after pulling our suitcases across the bridge up to the street leading up to the hotel) had we been told by the receptionist that there was a designated parking place right down the alley from the hotel for hotel guests. Check in was quick and easy, the lobby was furnished in a typical Córdoba style, very charming indeed. The hotel does not have any lifts as the building itself is believed to be over 100 years old. The room was actually really small, however it was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. There was no noise coming from inside the hotel although our room was right next to the staircase. The room has a wardrobe, air conditioner, a dresser, night stands on each side of the comfortable bed. The bathroom was clean. And most of all, we enjoyed the location and the little juliet balcony where we had our vino in the evening, soaking in the atmosphere.

Ruhige Unterkunft

Wenn man ruhige Nächte bevorzugt, ist man hier richtig. Trotzdem ist man in ein paar Minuten bei den Sehenswürdikeiten oder den Bars und Restaurants. Eine nette, familiengeführte Pension zu akzeptablen Preisen. Kein Luxus, aber für einen Städtetrip empfehlenswert.

Tout était parfait! la chambre était très propre. La tranquillité de Pension El Portillo est digne de mention, c'est l'endroit le plus tranquille de nos trois semaines de voyage. C'est super bien situé en plus et le prix est très bien si l'on compare avec ce qui est offert autour. L'accueil était rapide et toutes nos questions ont été répondues. Nous le recommandation sans hésitation! Aucun point négatif.
