Hotel Atrium Plaza

I stayed two nights for Carnaval! The location is great but don’t forget to bring earplugs if you want to sleep well. Breakfast in the morning was fine and the pool was nice and relaxing.

The Best In Barranquilla

If you are coming to Barranquilla for Carnival, this is where you want to stay. The only negative comment I have regards to the air conditioning. This might not be a factor for you if you are from a tropical climate, which I am not. The interior of the hotel is not air-conditioned, and elevators are even a little bit hotter, so by the time you’ve taken the stairs to your room, the last thing you want is to open your door and have it be a sauna inside. I understand from an environmental perspective that it’s not always a good idea to leave the air-conditioning running if you are not in the room, but here you have to wait 3 to 4 minutes after you have put your key in the slot for the air conditioner to kick in and then another 10 before the room is comfortable, so literally every time you go to your room, you have to take a shower. that there is no hot water is no issue because of this But some might take exception of that. Same with the janky shower head. There was an issue with the electric key that they fixed, sort of, on the 4th time I was locked out of my room. The staff are absolutely amazingly helpful and gracious.
