Cozy, intimate, and cheerful hostel run by warm and welcoming people always offering to help you enjoy Córdoba.
Great beds, decent kitchen (they do need to buy some stuff however, like more pots with lids and handles, potato masher...), strong wifi except for mid-day when it would reliably and inexplicably slow down to a crawl or go out completely.
Other stuff I appreciated: Staff and owners made a dinner for everyone. So generous! I couldn't participate because I was feeling pretty awful that day but thanks for the thought.
Also: oil, salt, spices, coffee, etc. were available for everyone and free food of some kind was almost always offered every day.
Facturas for breakfast at times.
Plenty of hot water. 5 showers on the bottom floor. (Unfortunately, the ad hoc construction isn't going to last every long, folks! Better get on that.)
There are probably a dozen quibbles I could make (this is not the hostel to stay at if you need alone time, quiet time, or if you're a light sleeper) but since this hostel's heart is in the right place, I won't. I hope they'll continue to keep up their genuine good spirit...
Read moreThe best hostel in Córdoba!! 😍 I highly recommend staying in wonderful Casa Artigas. I lived there for five weeks last year while I volunteered in the Observatorio Astronómico de Córdoba and I felt like I was home! 🥰 Ale and his friends are incredibly nice and welcoming. The hostel is very clean, cozy, perfectly located & beautifully decorated. The atmosphere in the common areas with other travelers or long-term guests is always super warm and friendly. You'll never want to leave! 🥳 Thank you for a fantastic stay and see you...

The place is grungy and somewhat run-down and crowded, but good enough for travelers who don't expect bright and shiny. The staff are very friendly and it does have some community vibe. But definitely not the "best hostel in Cordoba" unless you really prefer "friend's house in...
