Buona per una/due notti
Pros:

Hotel in pieno centro storico, la Candelaria zona sicura. Colazione colombiana. La stanza pulita ma piccollissima e così pure il bagno. Lo staff gentile.

Cons:

La stanza è piccolissima ma considerando la posizione nella Candelaria è comprensibile, in pieno centro storico

Pros:

La ubicación y la calidad de la conexión a internet

Cons:

La habitación. Era muy pequeña, sin espacio para desplazarse y sin ventanas. Le llaman el "cuarto oscuro".
Además, mucho ruido externo, de otras personas.

Vale a pena pela localização.
Pros:

A localização é ótima, perto de vários lugares turísticos, fácil de achar. Funcionários prestativos que ajudam com dicas e são pacientes com quem não falo muito bem o idioma.

Cons:

Não tinha um armário para guardar roupas, não tinham tantas tomadas, não tinha frigobar no quarto. O café da manhã tinham opções limitadas, poderia escolher apenas um dos pratos que eram ofertados. O hotel não oferece água para beber.

Colonial building in the heart of Candelaria
Pros:

Right in the heart of Candelaria, this hotel is a solution that offers good value for money. I loved the colonial architecture and the general "old-school" vibe.

Cons:

The rooms are rather small, and so is the WC. Slightly thin walls, so it gets noisy. Breakfast is basic. Other than that, it's a nice hostel.

Si può fare di più per il turismo.
Pros:

Posizione al centro della Candelaria.

Cons:

Le foto non rispecchiano la realtà. Stanza molto piccola anche per due persone compreso il bagno.
Anche se la colazione dovrebbe esser compresa nel prezzo, l’offerta è solamente di tre opzioni. Alla domenica l’orario di apertura per la colazione è alle 8:00. Purtroppo al nostro arrivo, il locale era praticamente chiuso e i tempi di attesa per la preparazione si allungavano notevolmente. Siamo stati costretti ad andare un’altro posto.
Altra nota negativa: NESSUNO sa parlare inglese!
