Excellent stay! Hotel was super clean, staff was very friendly. Close proximity to la 70 and neighborhood felt very safe. Beautiful church right across the street. Definitely will be back!
Very good service from attentive staff, parked my car for me at night, bar open 24 hrs for drinks and snacks, close to nightlife and restaurants, and in a very quiet and safe zone.
The room was spartan, only one outlet under the night stand, water pressure and hot water were good, room was clean and quiet, bed comfy but the only light switch is the main one at the door when you come in, no light on night stand
This hotel is the place to stay in Laureles. It is affordable with great value. The staff is very helpful with professionalism. Great location with easy access to all the nice restaurants and fun places in the city. The facility is always clean and well kept. Breakfast is decent.
Had a nice weeklong stay here. Room had nice view and was very clean. Even though it faced the street I slept well and I'm a very light sleeper. Comfortable full size bed (my room) and mini fridge. 2 minute walk to supermarket and several cafes. Only minor thing was the occasional elevator noise. Fantastic stay!
İlk gece sabaha kadar süren inşaat gürültüsü, ütü olanağının bir otele yakışmayacak şekilde olması ve konumun ulaşım seçeneklerinin taksi ile sınırlı olması dışında; özellikle temizliği, personelin yardımseverliği, çözüm odaklı olması ve güzel kahvaltı seçenekleri ile buradaki konaklamamdan memnun kaldım.
Great location, lots of restaurant choices close by. All the staff were awesome, so kind and professional. One criticism, very few power outlets for charging in the room
My stay at this property exceeded my expectations. Every interaction I had with the staff was met with a "can do" attitude. For example, I was unable to go on a tour to Lake Guatape due to
the taxi driver not finding the tour bus. When I returned to the hotel and shared what had occurred, they immediately booked a similar tour (with hotel pick up) based on my availability. That's outstanding service for a guest to receive and one of the many reasons why I will be returning.
I found the hotel to be located in a quiet area of Laureles within a short walk to an area with nightlife activities for those who are interested. A grocery store is right around the corner. A reasonable amount of restaurants are within walking distance or a short taxi ride which is very inexpensive.
I stayed for a week and went on amazing adventures every day......some on tours and some solo. As woman traveling alone, I never felt
uncomfortable or unsafe.
So, I highly recommend staying here.
It's a great hotel AND location for springboarding off on adventures of your choosing.
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was excellent. The communication between the staff and myself ensured that my trip went well. The facility is centrally located within walking distance to nearby restaurants, shops and stores. The room cleanliness and accommodations went above my expectations for the price. I would definitely recommend staying here, and intend to revisit the property on future visits.
