"Great Stay. Top cleanliness. The only negative thing I can say about the property is that it only has one elevator and it is very slow. Also the guests have to share the elevator with the employees. But overall is a great stay."

We love Medellin. We only spend 2 days and it wasn't enough. We def come back.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

An amazing city that went beyond expectations. Definitely plan to come back.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Centro is an area to steer clear, lots of drug use in this area from the homeless population which seems concentrated here. Saw people walking with syringes and also smoking pipes in middle of the street in broad daylight.

5/5 - Excellent

Medellin is a beautiful city with a great public transport system. It's wonderful to see trains that have not been vandalised and young people who actually respect the elderly and give up their seats or help them onto the train!
