Amazing location if you want to be at the heart of Getsemaní. However, you are right across the street from my Club Havana and that means the bass will be heard till very late. Three nice pools for soaking including one on the rooftop.

Louis

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay was both great & terrible at the same time. The overall facilities, rooms and amenities are great, no complaints at all here. However please be aware that the hotel is located on the main party street in Getsemani, with loud music playing non stop until 3-4am every single night. Our first 3 nights were good, we were able to sleep with earplugs in, albeit a little noisy still. But once we moved to a different room after extending our stay, the noise was simply unbearable. We didn’t sleep until the music stopped & had to cancel our remaining nights as a result. A shame as the overall hotel is great, but don’t stay if you’re a light sleeper!

The property itself is adequate and the staff is professional but not overly friendly. It’s located in a nice area of Gestemani, close to lots of bars/restaurants. The street was under construction so it was tough to navigate with luggage. The breakfast was just ok, but it’s free. As others mentioned, the music is pretty loud at night which definitely kept me up, but not my fiancée.

I had a good experience, the room was clean, customer service was friendly and helpful. They even let me leave my bags and use their lobby for awhile after I checked out. The breakfast was pretty good and the rooftop area was cool to hangout. Only thing I would complain about was the noise, you can hear Club music late night. But this was expected, it's a busy tourist area. Bring earbuds or just don't come to Colombia if music brothers you lol. Overall I thought it was great value and I look forward to visiting again.
