Ayenda 1235 Botero

It is in the middle of center town commercial area, no good to arrive or leave during day and too bad too walk during night. Dirty and full of people area.

The room was dirty, no AC, no safe over all a crappy hotel

Great option if you are an experienced traveler, and, or, you are used to staying at the heart of downtown. Great location for finding anything and everything by foot, however, as in any heart of downtown, it is good to keep safe after dark. I had a guest from Florida who previously would come and visit me in El Poblado, but I now live in Pereira, so we booked at this hotel, which I have used before. She had an excellent experience, used the steambath and enjoyed the view from the solarium above the 15th floor. We walked, took the Metro, taxi, did it all. Breakfast is simple but adequate, and the Wi-Fi is usually pretty good. The hotel itself is safe, and the staff is friendly. She enjoyed her stay in downtown, I enjoyed the savings, and must be said, the shower pressure is excellent. I do recommend it!

I'm a frequent traveler to Medellin, this hotel is a very good fit for me. It's an older hotel, but everything works well. The rooms are large, due to the fact that it's in Medellin, there is no need for A/C, just the cool breeze that comes in from the windows, and the noise factor is very small. The location is a half full / half empty view. It's in the center of downtown. Make the proper turn, and you have the subway, museum, and many stores at your disposal. Make the wrong turn and you are in the red light district as with any hotel in the heart of downtown. If you are going to, or coming from the international airport, there's a bus service for around $3.00 or COP $9000 that happens to start and finish it's trip right in front of the hotel, a big plus! The rooms are nice, the bedding is good, there's a nice Steambath on the rooftop... all in all, I really like it there. You can't beat the price, the hotel is safe, breakfast (additional cost) is very convenient... good wifi, room, water pressure, clean... I recommend it. Don't see kids, but do see a lot of business people, tourists, etc.

This hotel swindled us. We had a reservation with hotels.com that they did not recognize and made us pay again!
