Pros!
Dining everywhere. Safe walking around at night. Property had two pools and a large jacuzzi pool on the rooftop. Very attentive on supplied wonderful breakfast.
Con's!
Stairs felt unsafe every time I walked on them..
The property was recently renovated. It looks absolutely beautiful. The pool area is very nice beautiful lounges very nice area. Perfect for families to stay perfect for honeymooners. Area surrounding it is very walkable very nice.
The staff was friendly, the administrator Angel went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. Carmen prepared a lovely breakfast. My only disappointment was that I reserved a deluxe room with a king size bed and upon arrival was given a small room with a queen bed. I had to sleep in the small room the first night. The following day I found out that their was a suit available with a king size bed and I was not offered it the first night. They preferred compromising my comfort instead of having a happy guest. Most unfortunate.
El personal fue genial. Nos ayudaron con todas nuestras inquietudes y siempre hicieron todo lo posible por hacernos sentir como en casa. La piscina y el area de la terraza si estaba un poco descuidada. Las habitaciones están un poco pequeñas pero el resto el hotel es un lujo. El desayuno fue de lo mejor.
Bad breakfast. Door knob to my room was super loose. Shower was dirty

Hard to find on the street. No signage. It’s Nice. Clean. Great bed and sheets. Love the L’Occitane toiletries. TV did not work. Breakfast was just basic toast and egg. Pool on rooftop was dirty and swarmed with birds using it as their pool. If you’re coming back to Upper House after a night of partying, it’s hard to enter the place, they don’t wake up to open the door right away. Nice and helpful staff.
A Boutique hotel right in the heart of the walled City. Staff were wonderful, always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. While some were more fluent in English than others communication was never an issue, and their English was alway a great deal better than my Spanish.
We particularly enjoyed the breakfast, it wasn't a large buffet but an option of a North American or Colombian option. Always served with fresh fruit and a large glass of fresh squeezed Orange juice. Breakfast was always served around a large communal dining table. It gave an opportunity to interact with other guests. This was nice and intimate given the small number of rooms in the hotel. We enjoyed our week and would not hesitate to return to the Upper House.
It's a gem in the walled city, walkable to all attractions and activities, yet in a very quiet setting. Rooftop swimming pool with jacuzzi and sunbathing area was excellent.
