This was not my choice in booking as my original choice was cancelled for some odd reason or another.
No hot water and if we wanted hot water , there was an additional fee / upgrade nightly fee
I had a pleasant stay at the Dorado Plaza it was steps away from all the restaurants and local bars. The front desk was very nice & check-in was quick.
Great location, good breakfast and awesome staff. Some of the staffs speak English which made it easy for me to communicate. The staff at this hotel are wonderful, they help you with any thing you want. Rolando is the best!!!
Overall experience was good but what was excellent is the price I paid and the location which is about a block away from the historic center where all the colonial structures are found . From this establishment, if you turn left, you will experience a different Colombian vibe from street art , music, food etc, pretty safe neighborhood…..
What a great hotel! Especially for the price. Super location right between the walled city and the old town. Easy walking distance to everything.
The room is fantastic... Modern renovation with upscale, new, furnishings and decor. Fantastic value.

I liked that the rooms were big and the area is walkable. I didn’t like that the streets outside were nosy, the TV didn’t work, the breakfast was OK, and ridiculous hotel politices.

This hotel is in the perfect location and was excellent for exploring Getsamani and the Walled City. Rooms are basic and comfortable and clean. The hotel is in a very lively, busy area so it is quite noisy. We changed rooms a couple of times and the staff were very helpful and accommodating, but it was still always very loud. Bring earplugs and you will be fine. Breakfast was yummy with lots of variety and coffee and fresh juice. I would recommend this hotel.
