1616 Hotel Medellin
4.5/556 Reviews
El Poblado
This hotel sucks if your single and even more if you don't speak Spanish. They are in a tourist area and nobody in the building can hold a conversation in English. The hotel is extremely over priced comparing to what you they charge for other hotels in the city. The night I arrived I thought I was going to get shot because as I'm getting out my UBER the security guard is already clinching his gun. (Granted vehicles windows were tinted and it was raining) They barely have ice which means depending on the time of the day your asking for it they may not have it available. No they don't have a functioning ice machine. You have to wait for somebody to bring ice with them when they come to work. THEY CHARGE you for having any guest so if your traveling with friends your friends MUST have a room within the hotel in order to just come to your room. Otherwise they have to wait in the lobby. Isn't that some mess? Your allowed 1 person to come to your room throughout your whole entire stay. By the 3rd night of my stay I was trying to cancel the rest of my reservation and move on but Nope they wouldn't let me. If your a couple than by all means its cool to stay but keep in mind your going to struggle for ice and to communicate with anybody. Breakfast is cool, the area is very high class and the rooms were nice and clean. Hotel will be difficult for UBER to find due to it being on top of some sort of salon

El Poblado
This hotel has excellent staff! Diana at the front desk ensures you are taken care of and the fact that she speaks English made things alot easier. She assisted with my reservation and always responded quickly to any concerns. The ladies in housekeeping and food service also go above and beyond, especially, Gloria. The rooms were always nice and fresh. The complimentary breakfast was great as they provided whatever you requested even though it is not a restaurant. The staff basically assisted with anything that was possible and always with a smile. Thank you, Diana and Gloria, you made our stay awesome! Carol 🇨🇦 and Martin 🇨🇴

El hotel es muy bueno en relación costo-calidad, llegamos de madrugada y la recepcionista y su personal de seguridad fueron muy atentos y amables. Los cuartos son cómodos y tienen una excelente limpieza, el desayuno es bueno, podrían mejorar pero volveríamos sin duda.

Laureles - Estadio
The staff were welcoming, especially the restaurant service staff, who were attentive and attentive. The room was clean and tidy and well equipped. There are many restaurants around and supermarkets. The transportation is convenient, and there is a light rail for three minutes on foot. I also asked a Colombian barber to cut my hair nearby. The hotel can contact the airport to pick you up. The price is slightly more than 30 yuan more than a taxi, but it is safe and reliable, especially if you arrive late at night like me and do not know Spanish.

This is a really nice place to stay in Medellin. The room was clean and spacious, the ladies kept things immaculate. Great rooftop restaurant and bar, the coffee shop downstairs was great, the swimming pool was nice too. I really liked Laureles barrio, good restaurants, Unicentro mall, easy transport. I will definitely consider staying here the next time I am in Medellin.
