Positive Reviews
positive:
Friendly service.
Guests were warmly greeted, and while language was a barrier for some, most guests were able to get past this. They enjoyed the exemplary customer service, which included special touches like a breakfast buffet served by staff and friendly bell hops upon arrival.
positive:
Central location.
This hotel boasts a great location that guests said was in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Parque Berrio and Catedral Basílica Metropolitana de Medellín were also both accessible within ten minutes on foot.
positive:
Top notch housekeeping.
Chances are that you will be happy with the cleanliness of your room. Guests said that housekeeping was on top of things, with spotless bathrooms and clean linens by all accounts.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Dated rooms.
While some might describe the interior as classic, others weren't as forgiving and preferred to call it old. It seems that a renovation hasn't been done in quite awhile, and even though things were well maintained, guests said that decor was far from modern.
negative:
Hot summer nights.
A lack of air-conditioning meant that rooms were sometimes hot and stuffy. The provided fan often wasn't enough, and in the summer months, you might find yourself wishing for a respite from the heat.
negative:
Breakfast not the best.
Guests advised that it might be a good idea to skip breakfast. The restaurant ambiance wasn't great, and guests would have preferred to serve themselves instead of wait for buffet attendants to fill their plates. And if you are staying for more than a few days, you might get bored with the lack of dishes to choose from.
