We picked the hotel for its close location to the main carnival parades (in February in Barranquilla), and the location was great for this. During Carnival you expect the prices to be much higher (than what accommodation would usually go for) as the city is booked out. The hotel was fine for the 3 nights. The lady at the front desk was lovely and the owner very helpful.

The rooms were a bit dirty, and the towels were stained. We also asked the front desk clerk to call us a taxi in the morning for the airport; the taxi he called scammed us, asking us to pay double the amount it should cost. Perhaps it was also our mistake not to confirm the price before we got into the taxi. Usually, hotels help with calling reliable transportation and advising on fair pricing - so we trusted this.

I didn't have breakfast at hotel. The staff was nice. The sidewalk parilla across the street was popular and the food was good. The nearby Exito was convenient. With no outside window, noise was not an issue.

I misjudged that being "close" to the Malecon, there would be a vibrant scene of restaurants and bars. First, it was a long walk to get to the Malecon, and there a food court there (and a statue of Shakira), but little in the way of a bustling district. The front desk was often unstaffed and I would have to buzz somebody to come down the stairs to open the front door, but not a big deal.

La ubicación del hotel

Con respecto a los precios de los productos que ofrecen para la venta al huésped: aunque los precios estaban estipulados en una hoja en la recepción a la hora de la compra de algún producto te cobran otro precio, esto me generó desconfianza que preferí salir a la calle y comprar. Esto del hotel deja mucho que pensar! La habitación que me dieron al principio tenía mucho moho en el techo, esto me dio Ascó hice la observación y quizás de esta forma fue que me cambiaron a otra.

well located for carnival. rooms were clean. hotel felt very secure

bed was uncomfortable. staff were not helpful and didn’t provide any local information, even when asked. hotel owner would not allow us to cancel one night of our stay despite this being permitted in our free cancellation policy on booking.com. the wifi was down for most of our stay. while this was not actually the hotels fault (caused by a power line failure) they did absolutely nothing to resolve the situation, instead placing the onus to resolve our personal difficulties from not having wifi entirely on us.

My room was very small and right next to the reception - the extremely thin walls meant I could hear every word spoken by staff and other guests throughout the night so couldn't sleep. The room didn't have a window and WiFi was not working for most of the time. There was no hot water but this could be accepted due to Barranquilla being so warm that a cool shower is ok. Definitely not a 3 star hotel and shocking that I had to pay £75 per night for such poor standards. However the staff were friendly and helpful, and location was close to carnival.

Air con worked well, bed comfortable, staff friendly and helpful

The bathroom is very small, fine for a night or two stopover but not the most comfortable. Note there is also no hot water (as is common in many places on the coastline in this area). As its barranquilla and its quite hot and humid, that wasn't a problem

Eventhough we stayed for only 1 night, we had a great experience there. The staff was very accomodating to our requests and keen to guide us through the city. The facilities are clean and the room was very comfy. A big plus is that the hotel is very well located close to "el Malecon" and there are a few restaurants and super markets. The parking spot is right in front of the entrance so the staff can see the car.

Great A/C, simple accommodations but very clean, parking directly in front of the hotel, good neighborhood, friendly staff, all around comfortable.

no hot water in the shower, which is very common on the coast but don’t really need it as Barranquilla is hot so a cool shower is refreshing.
