10/10 Exceptional
26 June 2024
Location: by the sea wall. Where it is part of the walking tour, my room was room 11 has a balcony overlooking San Felipe Castle (20 mins walk from the hotel). Everything was within walking distance, 20 mins to the clock tower. Lots of dining options around the block. Airport is about 30 mins away with traffic, around 25,000 colombian peso (US$1 = 3,800 in money changer place). The area is safe as well, I travelled solo and no problems walking in the anytime. The most I was out was around 11pm. Many people hang out by the wall and it has a security guard 24/7.
Room: quite very noisy up to 12 midnight, it’s on the main road. If you’re a light sleeper then this room is not for you (rooms 12 and 11). But this didn’t bother me, I stayed for 4 nights and slept well. Water pressure in the shower, faucet and toilet flush is good. 2nd floor walk up. Third floor has the open terrace and has a jet tub, I didn’t have the chance to try it, kinda humid and mostly it rains every evening. All channels in TV are in Spanish. AC is excellent, no problem with it. No hot water, but you don’t need it, it comes out lukewarm after a few minutes. It’s a small room just enough for two people.
Breakfast: has 2 eggs everyday (sunny side and scrambled) fruits, fresh juice and the Colombian coffee is delish, I rarely drink coffee but i drank it for 4 days, it’s just that good.
Staff: the owner and everyone from the front desk to housekeeping are very helpful. I highly recommend this place.
