Hotel Candiac

The hotel was clean.

Do NOT stay at this hotel. I thought because it had 8+ rating it would be a safe bet but it ended up being a huge letdown. I was just looking for a nice place to sleep with breakfast included and the hotel couldn't even meet those needs. 1. The hotel is LOUD. The hotel is right next to (literally next to) the biggest salsa club in all of Barranquilla, La Troja. That means that no matter what room you stay in the walls are going to be shaking from the noise. The party goes until 3am. After the first night of bad sleep, I asked the hotel to change rooms. They happily accommodated me, but moving to the other side of the hotel made no difference. You can also hear everything that goes in the hallways. The entire hotel is tiled so any sound is magnified. Also making it hard to sleep. 2. The breakfast is bad and had no variety. I stayed their four nights and each morning the menu was the same. I only had a choice of eggs with bread (sliced white bread, nothing special) or a breakfast sandwich. That's it. They had juice, but only one kind. They only make one pot of coffee, so if you don't get there early enough you're out of luck. They won't make more to accommodate you. 3. The rooms don't have windows. As I mentioned, I stayed in two different rooms. Both rooms had a "window" but they opened up into the interior of the building (like a furnace type room.) 4. The beds are hard. I prefer a firm mattress, but I can imagine this being very uncomfortable for other guests.
