10/10 Excellent

Eli was amazing. He gave us great service and conversation at the bar. He gave us great recommendations for dinner. We love this hotel. Ariel was so kind at check-in. Thank you for a great stay!
Key, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Tiny bathroom - you might hit your head on the sink trying to wipe. Shower had less water pressurre than my 90 y/o grandpa trying to take a leak. Got a $55 ticket trying to drop off my luggage!!
Zarina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

An absolutely quaint boutique property that has wonderful staff. Ariel was extremely helpful and friendly, offered fantastic rest recommendation. Check-in was smooth, slept great.
Sean, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The bathroom is very uncomfortable
Jose Miguel, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Unique property in an excellent location. Hotel was within walking distance to many shops and restaurants as well as the Pier. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. The bathrooms are small (we had to move to a different room as the first room’s shower did not work). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Bar and outdoor seating were a nice perk for a small hotel. The history alone makes this hotel a fun place to stay. Parking garage is a little bit of a walk, and Google maps does not lead you to the correct place when you enter the garage address; so listen to the hotel staff when they give your directions! Overall this was a great stay for the price on the holiday weekend!
Erin, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Worth it!

Love the antique style of the hotel. Love all of the history and the bar in the hotel is amazing! Delicious drinks and great bartender and atmosphere! Only complaint would be the shower/bathroom was incredibly small and the blow dryer was so old it tripped the outlet. Overall we would stay here again bc the good was better then the little things listed.

Location was perfect for walking to many places on the area. We had after hour check in which we had no issues with.
Tara, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice staff, good location, and overall cute property. Beds were very uncomfortable and blinds did not cover the window spaces, so it was bright early.
4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Front desk had no staff member. Had to stand and wait in the very small lobby for someone to check us in. Staff was unfriendly and rude

Nice hotel but construction next door

Hotel was nice and very clean , but there was construction of their new hotel expansion next to us and the view was not nice. While it's a historic hotel the bathtub was difficult to get in because is antique. I also wish they had a morning coffee and pastries in the morning . Nice place though.

4/10 Poor

Really old building. Not comfortable at all.
Jane, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Room was tinny, shower barely functioning, no TV service, no amenities, expensive for accommodation and location
Darinka, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The property is an old hotel, which is quite quaint. They have a coffee/liqueur bar in the lobby that attracts youngish folks. The room was a nice size, although the bathroom was small, typical of an old hotel. It had a claw-foot bath tub. There was very low water pressure at the bathroom sink and absolutely no hot water. The complimentary parking is in a garage about a block and a half from the hotel.
Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Cordova is a great hotel, it has a nice old world feel with all the modern conveniences that you might need. I found everything clean and the area quiet. The staff are friendly and very helpful. I’m looking forward to staying there again whenever I visit Tampa or St. Petersburg area

Beautiful Kitchy Hotel

The Cordova is a beautiful hotel in downtown St Pete. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were pretty and well decorated.
Mark, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The property is in the process of renovation. All windows were blocked. It doesn't provide any housekeeping, and you have yo take out your own trash.
Michael, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Needs improvements, Good location

The room needs basic improvements, mattress, bathroom curtains and curtain rails. There is no daily cleaning and coffee is not replenished. There is no dining room. There is a small bar, nice and with good service. Parking is nearby, secure and included in the room rate. The hotel has 3 floors, there is no elevator and the staff is not flexible or helpful as we are elderly and there are no elevators and no help with luggage, they should consider placing us on the lower levels. After 10:30 pm there is no reception but there is security and you enter with your room card. The hotel is well located and within walking distance to Central Ave and Beach Dr.

Historic and interesting place, amazing front porch…not a run of the mill chain hotel
david, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Me and my boyfriend were very comfortable at the Cordova in. It was very cozy and we felt safe. It was worth the price. The Bar was supposed to be open 8am-😭10pm but when we woke up on Sunday at 10am the bar still wasn’t open and we were looking forward to their coffee :/. Their front porch was very nice everything was clean. Very close walkable distance from and very nice AMC theater, Ruth’s Chris, a lot of other bars and liquor stores. I would definitely recommend and stay again!
