    There was a section of the building which was under construction causing high level of noise, dust and inconvenient to access the gym and pool.

    The location was great and the food was delicious.

    the showers are always an issue, always too small in the basic rooms.. I received poor service at the outside restaurant, twice, but that was probably from the staff not being trained better...but, the hotel manager actually made an effort to talk to me about this the day I was leaving and said they pride themselves on taking care of thier customers and promised me this issue would be addressed, and I believe her..the location is not in the heart of el poblado, so not much to walk to during the day or night, but super close to the highway and taxis are always cheap in medellin..

    i loved practically everything, absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed in, in medellin or many other cities.. even their sister hotel, Movich (which is very nice), does not compare.. breakfast had many choices, all of them excellent( i could eat the breakfast for every meal), the outdoor restaurant has great food and prepared so well..the beds were AMAZING.. service there is always their pride and joy and the staff there does not disappoint..security used to be over protective, but now they are less annoying, so happy to see that adjustment..i cannot remember a perfect hotel, but if you do like a hotel that seem professional and orderly, this is a very safe pick,.. other have mentioned that this is a refurbished older hotel, and maybe so, but they did a great job making it look great, clean , prderly, and with all the other things mentioned above, it is a mute point to consider

    Overall my stay unfortunately did not meet expectations, especially given room quality relative to hotel pricing and compared to website photos. As an Intercontinental brand, I anticipated an elevated experience. However, furnishings seemed quite dated and cleanliness was lacking - for example, closet rails had hairs/debris and used tissues were not replaced. Additionally, considering value received, nightly rates felt overpriced. Unfortunately, we experienced significant noise disturbances from the adjoining room during our stay. This included loud music late into the night when trying to sleep, as well as an early Sunday morning neighbor phone call the next day disrupting our plans to sleep in after returning late from a wedding. We could overhear every word clearly through the walls.

    The included breakfast offered decent quality and value for the price point. While not exceptional, it fulfilled everyday needs. I appreciated this complimentary amenity. Additionally, the lobby area appeared freshly updated with pleasant décor. The gym and pool spaces seemed well-maintained - cleanliness and attention to detail stood out. These public facilities were definite highlights of the property.

    Don’t do it. Go to the Marriott instead.

    • King Room - Executive Floor
    • Stayed 2 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    My check-in experience was so dire that I ended up not staying at the hotel. When I checked in, Edwin Alvarez decided I was not the right colour for the hotel, let alone for the executive floor I had paid for. He firstly refused to acknowledge I had a booking (I had booked a week in advance and had communicated with the hotel and received responses about an early check-in). He then made me wait while he served my white friend and others. Then, when he finally realised he couldn’t make me wait any more, he refused to give me access to the executive floor - instead claiming that executive floor access really meant ‘extra amenities in the bathroom’. I paid double the price and received the same room as my friend. After nearly 2 hours of this back and forth and me asking why he was so offended by me, I decided to get a refund. I didn’t realise money had a colour, and that colour could be so offensive to check-in staff. Advice for travellers - Go to the Marriott … the staff are friendly and attentive, and the service is second to none.
