Stayed at this place for a couple of nights. The service and staff were awesome and the location is very central. I will for sure be coming back in the future. Food at the restaurant el village is very tasty and well presented I highly recommend it.

This Hotel is amazing! The best service! Everyone is very welcoming and attentive. The whole vibe here is a relaxed feel. Your room gets sanitized daily. You can ask anything to the the person at the front and they are happy to help you. The location is perfect. Walking distance to the metro, shopping dining. The area is clean and free of debris. The room was cozy. I think the service here beats that of the Ritz Carlton. If you come to Colombia. This is the Hotel for you.
