Excellent hotel with kind and accommodating staff. We feel so grateful to have found this true gem in Medellín. Look no further for the most perfect hotel. Do consider upgrading to a bigger room, as the added space and bathroom is totally worth it.

Love this hotel. It beautiful and the room was really nice. It is in a great area with plenty of restaurants. The only downside is that they don’t have a gym, but that’s ok because the staff, location and the design of the hotel made up for it. Highly recommend this hotel and I will stay here again.

Excellent hotel if you want to be close to the nightlife in the city in an upscale and safe property. Amazing and accommodating staff. Very clean and comfortable rooms with a beautiful rooftop bar to view the city lights. My wife and I stay here every time we are in Medellin and it never disappoints.

Nice property, only issue was bar is on the 6th floor and I was on the 5th floor so it was loud. Stay on a lower floor if you can. But great hotel, definitely would stay there again. Super close to everything

I stayed one night at Hotel El Zarzo and had the most amazing experience. We landed at 9am and was allowed checkin shortly after because the room had already been prepared (ahead of the usual 11am check in) . At check in we recieved a warm welcome, 2 free welcome cocktails at the roof top bar and 20% of at the restaurant Cocina 33. The room felt like a spa retreat with soft dimmed light and aroma therapy scents, a fully stocked nespresso coffee bar, tea and water. Shortly after the staff brought up a tray of artisan desserts that were DELICIOUS and a hand written note expressing their excitement for our stay. Everyone and everything was so warm and welcoming, I can’t wait to return and eat delicious meals at Cocina 33 again!!!
