Incredibly friendly staff, great location.

The staff were helpful. Arranged a taxi to the airport for me in the morning. Free coffee

This has to be the noisiest hotel I've stayed in while travelling around Colombia. The rooms windows faced out onto the main road full of traffic and stalls and people and so the room was full of engine noise, the roar of motorbikes, shouting, music. I asked if I could change rooms, but was told they didn't have others available and "it would quiet down after 8pm" - it did, but not by much. Earplugs were much needed. The location was good in that it's central, but Plaza Bolivar and around felt pretty sketchy after dark. Breakfast was really half hearted and served in a lobby that smelt of cleaning products.
