The best hotel in Medellin. Far superior to Click Clack or Charlee. Restaurant is excellent but pricey. The only negative is the menu online for room service doesn’t exist. When you go online the menu shown is the downstairs bar menu and they give you no directory in the room to call the front desk or room service. So unless your psychic you have to go to the front desk to ask for a directory

Great and no issues. The only inconveniencewas that hhe restaurant at the first floor wasn't part of hhe hotel and because of tha there was no way to charge to the room, so i has ho go back to the room for the card wen usually restaurants and other services within a hotel premises are available to do a room charge.
