Great value! definitely need better communication
I Give it a 6.75-7/10, they honestly just need to fix small little things and need WAY BETTER!!!! Communication. 1st no a/c, very poor airflow and circulation and very humid and smells like it too at night after being away all day. Excellent full Kitchen, super cold fridge and freezer, no microwave but have a full oven. Great hot water for showering and washing dishes. Pillows are horrible, super thin no support. Even with 3 pillows still very thin. Rest pretty good, all staff was super nice and friendly expect the old lady who alway looks like she has an attitude or is upset. Other than that EXCELLENT place to stay and AMAZING price too!! Great location. Locals are super nice and friendly, the park is only about 5 minute walk with plenty of food vendors and restaurants, bars and small convenient stores all around the park. Heads up if you go to park to eat at night, people might ask you for food (I don’t mind buying a hungry person food, just don’t give away money)

GREAT!! value for the money, customer service not
If you factor everything, price, location, accommodation, amenities, cleanliness, convenience, communication, not bad, definitely would recommend this place and stay here again for the price I paid, like $40 USD a night for a full 2/2 with full kitchen, stove and oven (a microwave would of been better than oven) I give them 7/10 ratting. Just wish I knew there was no a/c, the place was super humid all the time and smelled like humidity too but just at the beginning and the pillows are very flat, don’t offer lots of support. Bathroom are small so keep that in mind but I didn’t mind that. The elevator does need a GOOD DEEP cleaning and vacuuming!! The automatic standard message they send in WhatsApp that they say if you need anything to communicate with them through there, no one responds, after 10PM or before 9AM, so if you need anything or there is an emergency good luck!! Call the national emergency number 123 (Colombian version of 911) would be my best advise. Idk what are the times for breakfast but we miss it twice one day when went up at 9:42 and they were close they said breakfast ends at 9:30 and check out, we went up at 6:40 AM and it was close. And to use the Steam room or Jacuzzi you to make a reservation and it’s only for exactly 1 hour but on the positive side if you want something “private” you have it all to yourself or your party only for that 1 hour exactly. If your hungry late at night or want a drink by the Boston Park (parque Boston) lots of options.
When I went there the hotel mentioned I do not have reservation. Expedia charged me full for 2 nights and not giving back refund. The location was very scary place there was nothing around. I had to book other hotel with booking dot come. It is scam . I have been using exopedia from past 20 years now expedia is very bad.

I feel sad that I have to write this review the property has so much potential and the staff is really friendly but the have a cockroach infestation in the building we killed 5 one night right next to our bed, on the floor, in the bathroom just not sanitary the range from tiny ones to huge ones really disgusting. We had to live on our 3rd night couldn’t take it anymore. We were supposed to stay for 17 nights but it just wasn’t duable really awful.

The breakfast was amazing and the communication with the workers too.
Outside appearance was interesting. Shower hot water is lacking. One thin sheet to share. One key. No front desk. Our single room looked like a dungeon vs the double room.

Shower pressure for hot water. No one comes to clean during the stay. Had to ask for new towels after 3 days. No one speaks English. Breakfast was just ok. No front desk. Outside of the hotel doesn't quite look like it.

The apt was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The building was fairly new. What I liked the most was the rooftop and the breakfasts. The rooftop was awesome (you could spend hours up there). The views were great as well. The food was very good and the staff was very nice, especially chef Antonio. On the other hand, it is not a good idea to walk around the area at night as it can get a little dangerous. Overall, I really liked my stay and I would come back.
The young lady at the reception was really helpful and nice. It’s the only good thing I’m keeping in mind. Breakfast is a joke. If you are late and find nothing left they just tell you no more. For the price you are paying don’t expect that much

Property and amenities met expectations and more. Plus staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially David. He was great. Anything I needed he was there to help.
Breakfast was great. The main servings changed everyday (which was great for variety) but at the same time everyday there were the same fresh fruit, bread, pastries, cereal/w milk, and orange juice options available.
Laundry was easy to use and up to US standards meaning both a washer and dryer available. I was at other hotels where the clothes had to be air dried so having an actual dryer is clutch especially with all the rainy and cloudy days in Medellin.
The room was a typical kitchenette style with big refrigerator and functional stove that I actually used to cook. Bed was adequate. Shower had hot water. Limited cable but I'm not really at a hotel to watch tv. Wifi in room was great.
You won't regret staying here. The view on the roof where breakfast is served is beautiful! I will definitely stay here again when I come back.
Es un lugar seguro para hospedarse la atencion es excelente, limpieza total. Sabanas olorosas y agradables para dormir, super centrico, hay un supermercado al lado.
