Pros:

I like nothing about that hotel, well the bagboy🎒 was about the best thing there. I didn't even enter the room. The baagdoy🎒 took my bag 🎒 inside the room and left. When I looked in, I was so disappointed. Ilooked around and the guy was gone. I immediately grab my bag 🎒 head back to the lobby and check out. It was n othing liwke the photos showed. I figured I was going to be disappointed, but not to that extent. It was terrible

Not a place for western tourists
Pros:

We've been staying for carneval, and (own fault) did not check for safe areas before. This is definitely not. But as the hotel staff couldn't even speak basic English, we found ourselves walking through a very dangerous area, until a taxi driver told us it is not a good idea to be here. So not a place to be, grab a taxi to get everywhere.

The hotel itself is clean. Rooms are ok, but lack windows, and kind of comfort and a safe. Our shower was missing a shower head, there is also no hot water.

Do not expect to sleep in, there is no sound proofing, every word in the lobby is in your room.

The restaurant does not accept credit cards, and the bill can not be transferred to your room fee. It's really cash only although staff told us otherwise.

Wouldn't recommend going there at all.

Not a place for European tourists
Pros:

No one speaks any English, very frightning area at night as a white tourist, only cold shower, very loud room without a window. In the very end the hotel restaurant was not payable by credit card and they wanted to send us on an ATM Tour for cash.

Worst beds ever!!
Pros:

Stayed in Barranquilla 4 nights for the Carnaval.
The mattress of the beds are ROCK HARD!! It was impossible to sleep, very uncomfortable.
The hotel is in down town, not a nice area, especially at night but taxis are super cheap.
The stuff is very nice and helpful.

The internet goes down a couple times.
Pros:

I didn´t like the fact that had to knock the door to get access to the hotel at nights.
The neighborhood is not the safest, so I guess that is why they do it like that.
Do not book things they offer at the front desk. You might get the service offered and get stressed because of that.
The breakfast is poor.

Regular,
Pros:

Un hotel muy regular. suministran una sola toalla y un jabon para una pareja; al cobro de la pagina le agregan el IVA, por lo que los valores en la pagina no son los que se cancelan al final. El parqueadero es gratuito pero queda lejos del hotel.

Buen hotel de paso
Pros:

El hotel está bastante bien y se ven algunas obras de recuperación en los alrededores, sin embargo, aún el tema de seguridad en la noche no es el más apropiado para salir a caminar.

Clean, Serene & Pristine - The room/hotel
Pros:

I arrived to the hotel after a pleasant ride from the airport & traveling all morning. Grace and her staff did EVERYTHING possible to accommodate my safe arrival with professionalism, top-notched service & pure joy. I am an American who lazily speaks Spanish. I used a translator app on my phone to speak and understand when my Spanish was deficient. I NEVER FELT INADEQUATE BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE BARRIER. As the days went by the entire staff was friendly, understanding and communicative. Every question I had was answered, every need that came up was met and my 8 day stay was one of the BEST I have ever had. The Hotel is clean & pristine.
The daily coffee service was a constant treat! The daily free breakfast was filling, selective and conveniently located next to the building making me walk out every morning and be a part of the vibrant local culture I came to see. I found the citizens of Baranquilla to be civilized, hard-working and welcoming to this black-American disabled man. I walked when I could and NEVER felt threatened. The bellman JASON took the time to teach me about the taxi culture while practicing safety. He also would direct me to wherever I needed or wanted to go, sometime providing himself as a personal guide. Esperanza ALWAYS greeted me with an accommodating, welcoming smile. I even had the pleasure of meeting the night staff security on the 1st night. I wanted to go outside at 1am. He unlocked the front door and stood out there while I observed the culture.

bueno
Pros:

El hotel muy bueno pero la ubicación pésima. El único inconveniente que en la aplicación dice q se cancela al llegar o salir del hotel y se me hizo una rebaja de mi tarjeta antes de ni siquiera llegar al hotel, realmente molesto.
