Pros:

Close to my tours, many cheap food places in area. The hotel supplies no hair dryer. Also watch out with the supplies guving in the room like beverages in fridge and candy and soaps. At the end of your stay they verify if everything was there. They tried to charge me for a chocolate candy that i never ate..

Pros:

La propiedad es excelente y relacion estupenda con su precio , los trabajadores muy amables y serviales ,su desayuno muy bien . El unico inconveniente para un turista es si vas solo y peor si es mujer ,fuera del hotel en sus alrededores no es seguro hay muchos homeless personas que viven en la calle y te piden dinero .Este hotel no puedes pedir taxi por su ubicación no tiene acceso a la calle tienes que cruzar una plaza y tiene unas avenidas estupendas para caminar pero esta invadido a todo lo largo por ventas como un pulguero, entonces se vuelve una zona muy congestionada. Creo que es asunto de la gobernacion de Medellin dar mejor imagen del centro de la ciudad y del cual tiene unos museos y avenidas muy bonitas,.

Pros:

Terrible venue. Loud. Can hear subway all the time. Sex workers walking around front door of hotel. Loud neighborhood made it difficult to get proper sleep. Less than half roll of toilet paper in bathroom makes you have to ration it. Left hotel to find another one. Would not recommend.

Pros:

Every pair of sheets were stained. Two sheets had blood stains. There is no air conditioning and the fan was so dirty it would blow dust when on.
The shower head was broken. The room barely has hot water.
