Medellín hotels near Basilica de la Candelaria

Pros: Prado 61 guesthouse is tastefully decorated with generous bedrooms, delicious breakfasts and meals. The roof terrace is a great addition. Although the street is a busy one, it is quiet at night. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It’s well located for the metro and an easy walk to the centre.

Pros: I liked everything about it: really lovely staff, functioning WiFi and shower, roof terrace with wonderful views of the city. It also has 24 hour restaurant service, which I did not avail of - there are a lot of small restaurants within a block or two. Very easy short walk from metro but also walking distance from plaza Botero etc. if you fancy a stroll.

Cons: This didn’t bother me but it’s worth pointing out: the area is “rough”. Another word for that would be “authentic”. Definitely not Gringolandia.

Pros: A grand home-style living perfect for us tourists and for business travelers in need of a nightly retreat but still easy to get quickly to offices or conferences. We were enamored with the 3rd floor terrace, its views and its table service. The staff were all very helpfully attentive at all 24x7 hours, including the kitchen of the restaurant! The Prado location was a perfect neighborhood style for access to the Metro, its boulevard below the elevated rails, Bolivar, and for Avenida Oriente & TuriBus stop, to a major clinic with pharmacy & ATM, 17 walking minutes from major parks like Botero, Los Deseos, Jardin Botánico.

Pros: Excellent friendly and helpful staff. Amazing food which was unbelievably good value. Lovely roof terrace to watch the world go by and have a beer or two.

Cons: Location not amazing. However close to the paradox station so very easy to get around. Not so many restaurants around the hotel but good restaurant within as mentioned.

Pros: Amazing value great rooms and rooftop terrace!!

Cons: Neighborhood felt a little dangerous after dark.

Pros: Very nice personnel, nice common areas, nice restaurant

Cons: Very, very noisy room. Floor dirty (has never been clean during our 4-night stay), very smelly bathroom (sink).

Pros: Clean quiet and comfortable

Cons: Neighborhood felt a little unsafe for walking after dark

Pros: Great value for money. The on-site restaurant was excellent quality and very good value. Lots of areaa to sit outside your room. Rooftop deck had great views. Good wifi connection everywhere. Locked street gate gave sense of security (except when other guests left it open!)

Cons: The room had a bit of a musty smell and wasn't as nice as other areas of the hotel. No air-conditioning, but did have a fan. The large windows opened into internal space, housekeeping would open them each day - felt needed to be careful to not leave anything on the desk under the window. The neighbourhood had nothing to interest a tourist, but was convenient to downtown (15 min walk or 5 mins walk then metro 1-2 stops). Daytime receptionist had zero English, which while I appreciate Colombia is a Spanish speaking country, the hotel is trying to attract international guests, so front line staff should have a little English at least.

Pros: Delicious food and friendly staff, however only one one of them was speaking English. Location is 10 mins walking distance to the city center. Be sure to check the beautiful terrace view on the city hill.

Cons: Not thoroughly cleaned bathroom. Hot water was on the first day, but not on the second.

Pros: Friendly staff and always willing to help

Pros: Staff was excellent.

Pros: Positives - the staff was very friendly and professional, other than the manager who did not care about the obvious misrepresentation on their listing regarding parking. Also, the breakfast and balcony area to eat breakfast was very nice. I will definitely not stay here again and do not recommend it. There are other options in the area that are much better organized.

Cons: The listing claims there is reserved parking, but that turned out to be false. I picked this location based on the claim of parking, but when I arrived I was told there was not room in the parking garage (which is TINY). So I parked my car on the street, and both of my door mirrors' covers/turn were stolen off of the car! Then the next night I insisted on being allowed to park in the garage, but I was woken up at 4 am and 7 am to move my car so others could leave (since they had to stack the cars). When I discussed these issues with the manager, nothing was done to repay the cost of what I would need to pay to replace the stolen mirror covers for the car, nor anything offered to rectify the situation. Aside from the parking issue, the bed was very uncomfortable (very hard) and I had no towels in my room.

Pros: Great location, great staff.

Cons: Breakfast not greatl

Pros: We love the attention to detail of all the staff. Great atmosphere and very centrally located at an unbeatable price. We will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Pros: Stayed 2 nights, staff was super friendly from when you first come in the parking lot they welcome you in. Nice view from the balcony. The hotel did a great job informing us about the places and tourist areas to go. Shuttles from the hotel.

Cons: There is no indoor pool and no sauna as it was stated that there was. Only outdoor pool!! I was upset about the worn out furniture, furniture not in the best condition and bed was very stiff. For a 4++ star hotel I think it could’ve been way better. Breakfast was ok. For 1 of the mornings they served us mostly eggs with 4 types of bread.

Pros: Not much.

Cons: Noisy, poor cooling, felt like I was in the 1980s. Poor breakfast. Had to pay for usable WiFi.

Pros: Poor satisfaction, I cannot understand how this hotel is supported by tripadvisor

Cons: It is not clean, is old, I cannot find friendly people.

Pros: I like the sauna

Cons: I did not like the breakfast

Cons: please add fish to breakfast menu.

Pros: The cleanest of the Hotel

Cons: My Room was to close with another room when the other guest arrived they make a lot of noise especially in the night. But it was not on all days.

Pros: Great staff, very friendly.

Cons: Bathroom was a little small.

Pros: i liked the location and the bed

Cons: i didn't like there was very few towels provided and some people who worked in the service, specially in the breakfast [part, were not that helpful or greeting

Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful when I needed something. They also had English speaking members of their staff., since my Spanish is not fluent. The hotel was very clean in all respects. I would stay at this hotel again when in Medellin. There are restaurants, a supermarket, the metro, and large sports complex in walking distance, and taxi service there is great at a very reasonable cost.

Cons: The breakfast could use a little help,but.it is ok and included with the room. At the end of the stay they wanted to collect for some type of insurance. I was able to sign a waiver and had no extra cost.. According to my paper work I received from Kayak I did not owe anything at the hotel..

Pros: The hotel staff were very nice and helpful. Only half of the staff (approx.) spoke English and we had limited Spanish, but we were still able to communicate. The rooms were totally fine - clean and nicely laid out. Nothing super fancy, but very comfortable and great for the price. It was located about one block from a metro station, which was really helpful, and a 10 minute walk from a supermarket. AC worked well the entire time. Breakfast was great! WiFi worked well. All in all, we were really happy with our choice and would recommend.

Cons: Bed was a bit firm and there were some cracks in between the window and wall so air could escape/bugs could get in, but nothing worth crying over. No safe in room.

Pros: We booked this hotel in Laureles because it seemed nice for the cheap price and the location seemed good for our plans to stroll around Medellin. We had no great expectations but all changed when we arrived there. The staff was really friendly and courteos like in a high class hotel. The receptionist spoke perfectly english which happens not really often. We got a Concierge service to the room, there was a minibar with reasonable prices and also the bed and bathroom were really nice. The breakfast was a small buffet with a variety of different things. The location of the hotel is great because you are near the main street with all the restaurants etc. and near the metro station.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff

Cons: No tv Safe box not working

Pros: The staff is very friendly. The can get you a taxi to pick you up at the airport. You pay little more cheaper then the ones at the airport. Rooms are clean. Good and save location. I loved it here.

Pros: Staff Location

Cons: Wifi doesn't work in my room. Poor quality. Breakfast americano. No options

Pros: The hotel was clean and alexandra the lady who was doing cleaning was a better receptionist then the others. She was The only one who could speak English.

Cons: It was very loud in the room. We had a room on the side to the main street and we woke up min 5 times at night because of the noise. The staff could not speak any English except Alexandra. Breakfast was disappointing and only till 8:45.

Pros: Location is good and its cheap

Cons: That the front door was usually locked and needed someone to open before I left or arrived. Breakfast is only available from 6:15a to 8:40a, even on wkends. Most hotels in Colombia check out at 1p but this one is at 12p.

Pros: You can walk to a shopping mall and restaurants nearby.

Cons: The locksafe wasn't working and the air conditioner was out of service in our room. The washroom was very tiny and cramped.

Pros: We liked the hotel and the staff was really helpfull.

Cons: We didnt like the tour to Guatape recommed by the hotel. The organisation was really deficient and even if the tour is bilingual, the english part was lame compared to the spanish one. The bathroom was really small and could use more light.

Pros: The staff was friendly enough.

Cons: The room didn't have any windows. The front entrance was locked when the staff was not operating the front desk (which was often). Both of these things, in my opinion, are fire hazards. The place was noisy. The breakfast was barely edible. Show up first thing for breakfast because when they run out of orange juice and coffee, they don't make more for later arrivals. Make sure that the safe is in working order in the room that you've booked into as not all safes are in working order (keys are missing).
