Very poor
Pros:

Good location

Cons:

The property is doing a "bait and switch". They are advertising a larger room with air conditioning but, once you have reserved and arrive at the hotel, that room is only available if you pay 40 percent more

Terrible staff, bad form
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

I booked for the night through Booking and let them know I'd be arriving around 1am (when my bus arrived to the city). When I arrived, they had cancelled my reservation, and told me because I arrived after midnight. They told me they were full. They had my phone number and Whatsapp and did not warn me of this until l arrived at the hotel.

Pleasant
Pros:

They let you park your motorbike inside of the hotel.

Cons:

We were supposed to get a free upgrade of our room, but that never happened. When we asked the staff why it was not possible they said that all the superior level rooms were booked. That seemed pretty strange since the hotel was not crowded at all and checking on Booking the upgrade offer was still present when we had already made our reservation.

Pros:

Easily the BEST in several visits to Colombia: perfect in every way: think marble and stainless steel. Immaculately clean and central location with local buses to terminal a few hundred metres.
Double bed private bathroom cheaper than any dormitory.

Cons:

Perfect in every way EXCEPT cash only as the card facility was not working...oh yeah? for two days??

Just for short stay
Pros:

The price was good and location quite central.

Cons:

I was staying for 1 week, but the room was cleaned just 1 time. The staff doesn’t ask if I need to change towels. Poor attention.

Very good
Pros:

Large spacious room. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Everywhere was kept very clean.

Cons:

Someone in the room next to me was smoking, possibly because we were on the top floor of the hotel, and they were too lazy to go outside.
