Kleines Hotel in zentraler Lage

Kleines Hotel in zentraler Lage. Der Eingang ist klein und man übersieht ihn leicht, daher Augen auf wenn man ankommt! An der Rezeption hat man nur spanisch gesprochen, was Dank Google Übersetzer kein Problem war. Die Mitarbeiter waren außerordentlich zuvorkommend und freundlich. Da mein Gepäck auf meinen Flug verloren gegangen sind, hatte ich einige Dinge zu organisieren. Die Angestellten des Hotels halfen mir sehr und übersetzen. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist, dass das Hotel sehr laut ist. Die Fenster der Zimmer zeigen auf den Flur, mein Zimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage, daher hatte ich die Fenster nachts geöffnet. Man hört jedes Wort wenn sich jemand auf dem Flur unterhält und wenn das Licht angeht, halten die Vorhänge die Helligkeit mir bedingt ab.

You stay here when you dont know Medellín

I made the mistake of staying at this hotel in the city center where you cant leave at night. For $3.50 more you can stay on the 70. Be warned, unless you are from a fishing village in Scandinavia, this Is not an interesting place.

Excellent value was truly a surprise.

Located in a busy downtown area, but our room was very quiet. Not everything was new, but it was clean and pleasant. No A/C, but you seldom need that in Medellin, and the fan was good.

La Recepcionista fue muy atenta a nuestras peticiones e inquietudes, el hotel es pequeño, pero muy limpio, las instalaciones estan bien ciudadas, la zona es más bien feita pero pues creo que cualquier centro de la ciudad es asi en america latina.Cercano a todo, metro, comida rica y economicA, museo de la cultura, zonas de comercio. Si vas lijero de equipaje es una excelente opción.
