Hotel berhampiran Parque Francisco Antonio Zea, Medellin

We would have rated this hotel at 5* but a checking out issue spoilt the whole stay for us! Yes the room needed a little attention - the shower nozzle hung down out of the ceiling, the shower handle came off the temperature regulator every time you adjusted it, the toilet seat kept falling down & had to be held up for me (male!),, the toilet itself was not fixed equi distant in the space between the shower screen & the wall & made sitting on it uncomfortable as you would then be squashed ........but none of these were major & would not have impacted our stay very seriously. We enjoyed the breakfast & the staff, generally were very good & helpful Upon checking out, we left a 50,000 COP tip. Then, On getting into our taxi, we were called back to be told we needed to pay 50,000 COP for a ”broken door key card”. The previous evening the door card did not work & it was replaced with nothing at that time being said. Now apparently we had ”damaged” it I refused to pay & said if they wanted the money to take it from the 50,000 COP tip I have stayed in hundreds of hotels using electronic key cards & if they ever had a problem, they were reprogrammed or replaced without issue Never have I encountered this situation before & I was annoyed & very disappointed that after a great stay, this was how it ended. As I said, this would probably have been a 5* review.....

I originally had booked with Ayenda 1234 Imperio 70. I had arranged a driver to pick me up as I arrived late at night. When he parked in front of the Ayenda I begged him not to leave me at that place. There had been a soccer game in the nearby stadium and there were people drinking, smoking pot in the street by the dozens. I did not feel safe. He took me to the Hotel Bolivariana Plaza. I spent 2 nights there. The room was very small, tiny, but it was very clean and the window faced a hallway, not what I expected but the location was much better than the other. It is a quiet street. Breakfast is included. I throught I could stay for the rest of the trip but they were fully booked OR I could move to 2 different rooms. I decided to move and for the same price I stayed at a much better hotel, way better. It has very nice hand painted signs all over, very inspired for self-confidence. I loved each. Breakfast has not a great variety but it is a good breakfast. It is served, not a buffet. Very basic and you have a choice of coffee or hot chocolate, which is nice because I don't drink coffee. That is where I first had an ”arepa”. Unfortunately I have an intolerance for corn, it just stays in my stomach all day, so for my second breakfast I declined the offer of arepas. I am very greatful for their hospitality and for taking me in that night so late without a reservation.

Padrão Ibis de qualidade. O atendimento ficou um pouco aquém, já que é bastante movimentado, o que dificulta a vida dos atendentes. A cama também era ruim. Ponto positivo para a localização, ótima, no bairro mais bacana da cidade. Próximo do centro, mas também próximo das atrações do El Poblado, distrito com restaurantes, bares etc. Região muito segura.

The Hotel was a positive experience for me and my family. I lived the suite offered for 3 people. Separated areas and 2 bathrooms to accommodate better, if you come with more than one child. Good for enjoy, but not so much if you want to eat there… Chefs looks like only apprentices working there, and not everything is on the menu. The staff was 50/50 nice, the two small incidents that we had, One was mostly with a young male receptionist that works during the day until the evening time, one time I forgot my keycard and I went nicely to him to ask for another one, and well, he gave me the keycard without not even looking me to my face, or saying something to me, but instead he kept talking with his co-worker, he didn’t even gave me some eye contact! Just extended the card and give it to me…which for me was a gesture of bad attitude without me knowing why he was having a contemptuous treatment against a female guest of the hotel! Lol it was a little irrespective in my opinion. The funny second incident was that we called early like afternoon time at the reception for 2 toothbrushes… well, at midnight when we were sleeping, someone knocked on the door bringing the toothbrushes that we had to get by our own, cuz it took hours for the hotel service to deliver them at the door at time!! So We decided to buy them in the nearest pharmacy from the hotel. But it was just testing the service to see How long would they take to get the damn toothbrushes at time?? Lol Lol Anyway… But don’t worry, I would come back and enjoy the hotel still… I think, That the admin should train better their staff to provide more highly customer service for all guests 👍🏼 My son was very happy enjoying the pool and the jacuzzi. Fine, Anything for my boy :)

I genuinely don't understand how this hostels gets such high reviews. I booked my stay at this Selina because my first experience staying at a Selina in Guatemala was so good. However this Selina is very rundown. My friend and I were in a 12 room dorm and we're charged close to $20 a night. Our room had no air conditioning, the room looked like it had just been thrown together at the last minute, no lamp available in each bunk, the little shelves arent securely placed in the wall so you can't place anything on them without your things slipping off. The bathroom has no soap or garbage can and the rooms don't seem like there's anyone who regularly cleans them. Since my reservation was non refundable I stuck it our for 4 days and when I needed to book one more night not wanting to which hostels for one night I was charged $26! For the most basic run down accommodations. I really don't understand the pricing. Although the hostel is in a great location, the windows aren’t sealed so it’s super noisy until 4 am at weekends. It’s very much a party hostel! The co working space is nice however and large and the onsite cafe has great food and coffee. Wouldn’t recommend, as it seems like there are a lot nicer hostels in the area.

Versus has to be the most perfect hotel in my 13 days trip to Colombia. I am a solo female traveller and I was taken care of beautifully. Located in the upper El Poblado area away from all the party scenario, in a very upscale, modern , quiet area yet close to everything with a short cab ride. It is extremely easy to find it as it is located on the main road itself. The hotel is new and is the most perfect addition to Medellin. It has such a quirky and chic decor, extremely modern and fun. The rooms are designed perfectly. The best coworking space , gym and yoga room. Can’t comment on the pool as I didn’t use it . The fantastic part of the hotel is the cafe. The food is absolutely AMAZING and DELICIOUS. I could just sit there for hours. Thats how amazing the whole vibe of the hotel was. Such great crowd and atmosphere always. Special mention about Carlos from the front desk. Right from check in to check out, he helped in each and every query of mine. He was just like a friend and guide and always ready to help with a smile. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO EVERYONE COMING TO MEDELLIN. 🫶🏻😍😍

Excelente lugar para descansar, desayuno delicioso, y personal muy amable. Tiene un buen espacio para parqueo, cerca al centro comercial Mayorca. son muy amables, los recepcionistas, camareras, los de cocina y el portes.

We had an early flight out of Medellín so we stayed at this hotel the night before we left. The room was clean, bright and spacious and the room had a nice shower. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I was a little nervous because we wanted to leave for the airport at 4:00 a.m. and wasn't sure how easy it would be to get to the airport if the shuttle fell through for some reason, but when we went down a few minutes early to take the shuttle, the shuttle driver was already waiting for us and we got to the airport without any problems. We would stay here again if we had another early flight out of Medellín.
