Had a nice stay. If you book the family room, just be mindful that there is no elevator and it’s on the third floor.
The hotel is of the 18th Century and the furniture is in tune with the time. From the hotel one can walk safely to any place within the walled city. And it is extremely quiet in the hotel, regardless of the noise outside. Breakfast is excellent, with a different "typical" Colombian menu each day. The pool is small but quite nice. The people who work at the hotel are quite nice and available 24 hours.
The rooms are lovely and quite clean. And all of the furniture of the hotel is from the 18th century.
For me, the only problem is that the rooms have no terraces or windows towards the outside, but the good point is that one hears no noise whatsoever.
Beautiful simple original style hacienda. Excellent staff very nice. Very clean, nice breakfast. Loved location.
Didn’t like
Weekend nights unable to sleep because of a club / wedding venue next door loud music until the late late hours . Room was difficult to cool down so overall warm, the house is al fresco with exception of Dining area.
If you require a cold room this isnt for you . This is a very old original house . We loved it!!! but we wouldn’t stay on a weekend night again
Excelente comunicación con el Hotel. La atención del hotel personalizada. El estilo del hotel conserva la esencia de ser colonial. Al hacer el check in me explicaron todo claramente, de una manera amable y atenta. Todo el personal es educado y servicial. La habitacion es pequeña pero tiene un balcon y el baño es grande. Tiene todas las amenidades, aire acondicionado y un mini bar donde puedes comprar bebidas. La piscina en el roof está bonita y tiene un area techada para disfrutar. La biblioteca es un área increible con obras de arte y pinturas. El desayuno varía todos los dias, es de dos opciones y es muy delicioso. Se puede hacer check out tarde sujeto a disponibilidad y con un costo extra que me pareció buen precio. Para el tiempo de mi estancia tenían un portero llamado Goyo (o algo asi) que me pareció la mejor recepción que he tenido en mis viajes, es un gato blanco con manchas amarillas que maulla cuando llegas, excelente servicio para Goyo le dejo mis 5 estrellas
Nos encantó nuestra estancia en Casa Córdoba. La ubicación es perfectamente situada en lugar céntrico de la mejor zona. Pudimos caminar a donde quisiéramos con facilidad. El hotel muy de estilo colonial y en buenas condiciones. Susana y José fueron excelentes anfitriones y nos ayudaron con todo lo que les pidiéramos. El desayuno de cada día fue agradable con fruta fresca y una variedad de huevos al gusto o arepas tradicionales. La azotea cuenta con una alberca pequeña que nos sirvió a refrescarnos después de caminar en el calor del día.
I like this property and I met the owner very humble and friendly man. Breakfast and coffee were good. Its made to order no buffet with cheap options. Rooms are clean and quiet on my side. Rooftop with pool is very relaxing . I gave 5 stars but just a couple things no towels in my friend's room or my room when we went to take a shower. I guess they forgot . Also I did get a recommendation from the one of the ladies at the reception area for a guy who does tours to the beach. and other places . I decided to take trip to the beach the last day before I left and it was very disorganized frustrating trip and no one spoke English. I tried to converse with the guy William which I was told by reception he spoke English but he did not answer, the phone,he just wanted to text which was concerning. Anyway I do not suggest using this guy to organize any trips. Otherwise my stay for 3 days was nice.
Nice room with very attractive old style. Biggest complaint is that the bar room band plays very loud until 1AM. It was not possible to sleep until the trumpet and drums stopped playing.
Wifi worked, but wasn’t fast.
Only stayed one night at the end of our trip but was very impressed. Incredible architecture, friendly staff and a very nice room. The bathroom was especially nice. Spacious with great tile work. Also the onsite library is must see.
The house us a great representation of the architecture. Well conserved, full of history. The house is in a great location, close to the clock tower and all the different squares and the wall.
We had the family room with balcony. So good!
The staff is amazing. Great location. Walking distance to everything. The views from the pool are amazing
Beautiful old home restored with amazing furniture in common rooms. Nice small rooftop pool for sunset. Service a bit slow. We had a nice big room with King bed.
The staff was so polite and organized a car to pick me up at the airport for a very reasonable price. They even let me extend my checkout at no extra charge!
I liked the ambience of a colonial period style of the building, the furnishings which evoked the era., etc. The staff was very responsive and helpful.
What I abhorred was the high decibel noise of a wedding celebration next door on a Saturday late into the night, it gave me a headache, I couldn’t sleep, the staff let me move to another room for the night where the noise was negligible so I could sleep. The hotel staff had no authority to do anything about it legally because it was not their property.
Property is extremely charming love the colonial style. Beautiful details. I enjoyed exploring the library. The staff was excellent. The room was small but that was ok. We did have problems with the hot water as it was too hot & had trouble regulating it at the shower. For the cost of the room the hotel should offer a few more aminities such as body cream, blow dryers n possibly slippers. Breakfast included was satisfying. We had a lovely time.
