Guest Reviews
Location
The apartments are situated in a peaceful residential area, surrounded by nature and luxury villas. This hillside neighborhood provides stunning views of the Córdoba mountain range and a sense of calm, making it perfect for relaxation. Despite being slightly secluded, the area boasts excellent bus connections with a stop just a few minutes' walk away, allowing for convenient access to the city center within 15 to 20 minutes.
Guests highlight the ease of parking and the necessity of having a car to fully enjoy the location's benefits. The tranquility of the area means that you can enjoy the sound of birds and cool breezes, often without the need for air conditioning. Additionally, the proximity to hiking trails and mountain churches offers a unique opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the surroundings.
In summary, while Apartamentos Turísticos La Castilleja may be a bit removed from the center of Córdoba, its peaceful setting, beautiful views and good connectivity make it an excellent choice for those seeking a calm and restful stay within reach of the city's attractions.
Breakfast
However, numerous guests find aspects lacking. Several reviews mention the sparse and outdated nature of the breakfast with criticisms about the absence of gluten-free and lactose-free options, as well as fresh fruit. Some guests also point out the limited variety and basic presentation, likening the experience to a hospital meal with a sterile atmosphere. There are comments about the breakfast being quite basic and, at times, not worth the extra cost. Issues raised include the non-functional coffee maker and a very basic and small breakfast room.
Overall, while the breakfast at Apartamentos Turísticos La Castilleja has positive points, it seems to fall short of expectations for many due to its simplicity and lack of variety.
Rooms
Each apartment comes with ample space, making them comfortable for extended stays. The facilities are comprehensive with features such as individual heating, private parking and clean, cozy furnishings. Many reviews highlight the convenience of having a kitchen and the generous size of the rooms, which are suitable for families or larger groups.
The location is praised for its tranquility and proximity to Córdoba city center, making it a peaceful retreat without being too far from local attractions. Additionally, the friendly and accommodating staff enhance the overall positive experience.
However, there are minor drawbacks mentioned, such as the occasional uncomfortable mattress or insufficient room lighting. Despite these small issues, the general consensus is that the apartments offer a good quality/price ratio, making them a highly recommended choice for a pleasant stay in a quiet setting.
Beds
However, many reviews point to several issues with the mattresses and beds. A significant number of guests described the mattresses as uncomfortable, very sunk, old and in need of replacement. Some reported that the mattresses creaked and made a lot of noise, which could be disturbing. There were also mentions of the beds being too soft, small for two people and sometimes uneven, especially in the case of twin beds. The bunk beds for children were particularly noted for being noisy and moving a lot, which could be disruptive.
Pillows received mixed feedback as well with some guests finding them comfortable while others described them as uncomfortable and hard. Overall, while some guests did enjoy a comfortable sleep, it is clear that there are notable issues with the quality and condition of beds and mattresses that need to be addressed to improve the overall guest experience.
Cleanliness
However, there are occasional setbacks in maintaining these standards, such as sporadic sightings of cockroaches and ants and isolated instances of dust and cobwebs. Some reviews point out that while the interiors are well-kept, the pool area often requires more attention with reports of mold and sediment affecting the experience.
In summary, Apartamentos Turísticos La Castilleja generally excels in providing clean, comfortable and well-serviced accommodations. The few cleanliness issues mentioned tend to be situational rather than reflective of the overall standard.
Staff
Several key staff members, including Lisa, Laura and Conchi, received specific praise for their helpfulness and professionalism. Their personal touch, such as remembering returning guests and attempting to provide familiar rooms, added a special charm to the stay.
The staff’s empathy and understanding, particularly in accommodating guests with disabilities, further underscore their dedication to excellent service. They are noted for providing detailed and informative assistance, ensuring that guests feel well-guided and supported throughout their stay.
In essence, the staff at Apartamentos Turísticos La Castilleja is a major highlight, consistently recognized for their kindness, helpfulness and personable nature, enhancing the overall guest experience significantly.
Wi-Fi
Pool
However, several reviews indicate that the pool's maintenance is inconsistent. Some guests observed the pool being very clean, while others mentioned issues like algae, dirt, mold on tiles and cloudy water. At times, the pool area appeared neglected with worn-out lounge chairs and umbrellas and plastic grass instead of natural lawns. Additionally, complaints about the pool being closed upon arrival added to some visitors' frustration.
Access to the pool is via stairs, which could be an inconvenience for some. While the pool's overall size and setup received decent marks, there is a noticeable call for more regular maintenance to ensure a consistently positive experience. Despite these challenges, the pool remains a favored feature for those looking to relax and cool down during their stay.
Parking
However, some guests mentioned that the parking lot can be accessed via a long flight of stairs and there were occasional issues with the parking gate, although these were promptly repaired. Despite minor shortcomings, the abundance of free parking and the security provided have been positively highlighted, making parking at this property a strong point overall. Free individual parking and the peace of having a secure spot further enhance the convenience of staying here.
Accessible
A lack of ramps and an internal elevator further complicates access—the main entrance is not equipped with a ramp and there's no elevator to reach the mezzanine level. Additionally, some rooms and common areas are only accessible via stairs, making it difficult for everyone to reach all parts of the accommodation easily.
Moreover, outside accessibility presents challenges as well. The bus stop is located on a steep slope, posing an added difficulty for guests with health issues or mobility concerns. To enhance the experience for all visitors, improvements in lighting, both in rooms and common areas and maintenance of existing facilities are necessary. Overall, while there are elements of accessibility, the hotel could benefit from significant upgrades to better serve all guests, particularly those with disabilities.
