With a central location in Cordoba's old Jewish quarter, the two-and-a-half pearl Eurostars Conquistador earns high marks for convenience and walkability to eateries, shops, and historic sites. And while this 128-room property's dated interiors won't win any style awards, its carefully preserved Roman ruins under glass and orange blossom-scented courtyard lend charm to the drab, chain-hotel decor. An on-site restaurant specializes in Andalusian cuisine, which, like the breakfast buffet, is served outdoors during fine weather. Rooms are clean and functional, although thin walls and street noise can bother some guests. Drivers should note that underground parking can be limited, and GPS directions to the hotel can be confusing. Travelers seeking a more luxurious (and slightly pricier) stay might consider the Hospes Palacio del Bailio, which features stylish rooms, a spa, and two pools.

Eurostars Palace is a four-pearl boutique hotel in city center Cordoba, within a short walk of the Jewish Quarter, La Mezquita, and many other historic attractions. Housed in a compelling building of perforated iron, the hotel features chic black-and-white interiors. A rooftop pool and poolside bar are open in the summer months, and the hotel also has a small fitness center, piano bar, and fine-dining restaurant serving Cordoba regional cuisine. The 162 upscale rooms come with minibars, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and stylish bathrooms with rainfall showers and jetted tubs. The nearby NH Amistad Cordoba Hotel has more historic character and is closer to La Mezquita, but it's not quite as upscale and doesn't have a pool.

Hotel Macia Alfaros is a comfortable three-pearl hotel located right in the center of Cordoba. It has a pleasant outdoor pool and a parking garage, both uncommon in the neighborhood, but there's a fee for the latter. The property has a contemporary look overall, though some elements throughout are dated. Its 144 guest rooms have nice Moorish accents, work desks, and flat-screen TVs, and some have furnished balconies, but units lack outlets for powering devices. Features include a lobby bar with a poolside terrace and a restaurant that serves traditional cuisine, but breakfast isn't included. Though it's a bit of a walk from central attractions, travelers might want to compare rates at the Hotel Cordoba Center, which also has an outdoor pool and a rooftop bar.
