Rooms are spacious and feature a full shower/tub along with a toilet and a bidet. My room was on the third floor and faced south. The thick walls make the rooms very quiet. Service is impeccable and very friendly. I was the only English speaking person I saw. Few Americans know about paradors from what my friends tell me. It's a treat to have a glass of wine before dinner and enjoy the beautiful spaces. I ate all my breakfasts here as other options offsite are a 10-15 minute walk. Warning: large cars will not fit through the very tight gate you have to navigate in order to park (free) on the property. My Citroen small suv barely fit :). There is free public parking 200 meters away if you're driving a van

I made a last minute expedia VIP booking at Hospes Palacio del Bailío in Córdoba. It had good…read morereviews, and an appealing decor. The hotel offers 24/7 room service which I planned on taking advantage of with a long day of sight seeing. At check in I didn't receive any VIP benefits like a complimentary breakfast or room upgrade which was the first disappointment but was nothing compared to their customer service. I tried calling room service at 10:30 pm, it rang for about 5 minutes but nobody answered. I called reception at 11 pm to see if they could help connect me or provide another extension, to which they responded that the kitchen was busy and they would call me back shortly. I waited 15 minutes then I walked down to the hotel restaurant where they told me it was closed but Fernando would take my order and have it sent to my room. An hour goes by so I called to check on my order, they said it was on its way. Another half hour until a server arrives to deliver a tray, and he drops it off and quickly leaves without opening the food cover. I lift the cover to find that it isn't what I ordered, so I call down to room service but they don't answer so I call the front desk. They advised the food I ordered was all out so they brought me something else and that the salad descriptions needed to be expanded upon. They showed no respect or common sense to call me to let me know that I would need to select another entree or that the word "salad" doesn't best describe the dish. I speak Spanish, I read the description in both languages so I am totally perplexed by their poor food description. They finally offered to make me something else, but I said I wasn't going to wait another hour and a half for food. They still charged me for the dinner after all of that. I contacted the hotel who offered to make accommodations for me the next time I visit instead of fixing things here and now. I obviously don't have any plans to return to Córdoba in the near future.

Amazing hotel. I don't know where to start. The service especially was great. The rooms are like…read morelavishly furnished apartments- and ours opened onto the pool. Actually it might be larger than our apartment in New York. The bathrooms are fantastic. It was the little details that make the hotel really special, on arrival, they offer you water flavored with whatever fresh fruit they have that day; when you enter the room there are delicious little sponge cakes waiting on the table. When we first arrived, they asked if we wanted a tour of the hotel. I now understand why, there are so many beautiful features for example, there is glass floor in the dining room with an archaeological dig below. The pool is surrounded by orange trees and it is extremely relaxing to sip sangria there. My only complaint was the the room was extremely hot at night (it was summer) and the bed was hard (which was the same in all hotels we stayed in in Spain). The food at the pool was also terrible so I recommend eating elsewhere - plus the service at the pool was really spotty.

Given its location if you have a car you will be parking in the newer part of town in the parking garage and either hiking up hill 15+ minutes with your luggage or taking a taxi. We took a taxi. The streets are crazy narrow even for the professionals. We arrived early and were able to check-in. The woman at the front desk was delightful and super helpful (she also checked us out and ordered us a taxi). Fortunately I booked a superior room and it had a stupendous view of the valley below. The hotel is right on the edge of the cliff. The hotel is an old palace so it has its quirks but the room was big and the balcony huge. There was a safe and a small frig and tea kettle. The price was pretty good but it was off season. Not a big deal given the room we had and it was the weekend but the main square of town right outside the front door is in the midst of major construction so it could be loud on weekdays depending on the room. This project looks like it has a long way to go... Thumbs up.

Our room was nicely decorated, yet a little on the old side. Felt convent-like, especially due to the picture of the Virgin Mary behind the bed. The kicker though was the large roach, which I watched scurry across our bathroom floor one night. Wifi was a little spotty, but that seems to be par for the course in the hotels I visited in Andalusia. Breakfast, which costs ~30 eur/two people was good, and includes fruits, meats, tea, and coffee, but it was by far the most expensive meal we had in Arcos de la Frontera. I'd recommend having breakfast only once, so you can enjoy the view from the restaurant windows of the valley below.

The room is exactly the same as so many other ibis rooms around the world. The property is a bit "in the middle of nowhere" not close to the downtown at all. There is, however, a bus (#28) that will get you into town efficiently. Be aware that the taxi to or from the airport is a fixed fee of about 25 euros. This would be reasonable for the full trip downtown but seems steep just to get to the hotel.
