Had a nice weeklong stay here. Room had nice view and was very clean. Even though it faced the street I slept well and I'm a very light sleeper. Comfortable full size bed (my room) and mini fridge. 2 minute walk to supermarket and several cafes. Only minor thing was the occasional elevator noise. Fantastic stay!

10/10 Exceptional

My stay at this property exceeded my expectations. Every interaction I had with the staff was met with a "can do" attitude. For example, I was unable to go on a tour to Lake Guatape due to the taxi driver not finding the tour bus. When I returned to the hotel and shared what had occurred, they immediately booked a similar tour (with hotel pick up) based on my availability. That's outstanding service for a guest to receive and one of the many reasons why I will be returning. I found the hotel to be located in a quiet area of Laureles within a short walk to an area with nightlife activities for those who are interested. A grocery store is right around the corner. A reasonable amount of restaurants are within walking distance or a short taxi ride which is very inexpensive. I stayed for a week and went on amazing adventures every day......some on tours and some solo. As woman traveling alone, I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. So, I highly recommend staying here. It's a great hotel AND location for springboarding off on adventures of your choosing.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was excellent. The communication between the staff and myself ensured that my trip went well. The facility is centrally located within walking distance to nearby restaurants, shops and stores. The room cleanliness and accommodations went above my expectations for the price. I would definitely recommend staying here, and intend to revisit the property on future visits.

The hotel was conveniently located near the metro , restaurants, park . The rooms were always clean . The lobby had a outside front patio which was perfect to have a drink at night . The only negative was the complementary breakfast was the same daily eggs , toast , fruit .

Helpful and friendly staff, nice modern rooms
We had a lovely stay here. The front desk staff were really amazing! In our experience, there was always someone there who spoke english which was helpful for us with our broken, limited spanglish. They helped us book a tour and arrange airport transport, give us info on sightseeing around the city. The location is awesome. Close to a bunch of restaurants and bars, transit, and felt safe. Room was modern and clean, and a super comfy bed! I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect stay in Medellin!
Incredible experience here during my stay in Medellin! I had planned to change hotels to be closer to Spanish classes I was taking in the Poblado neighborhood, but changed back to this hotel. Wonderful, welcoming, helpful peopl, from the front desk to morning breakfast staff. Room very comfortable (great bed and pillows), very clean, AC, fridge. In a quiet, safe neighborhood right across from a church. Grocery and banks up the street. About a 12-min walk from the Estadio metro station. Walk is down a fairly busy street, which is a plus if you arrive alone at night (I was a solo traveler). I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed staying at this friendly and affordable hotel. Not many English-speaking foreigners in this neighborhood, a plus if you are trying to learn Spanish. Great morning buffet breakfast. Thank you to Maria, Natalia, Diego, and everyone at the hotel for such a great stay!
