I had an amazing stay! As a solo female traveler, safety is always a top priority for me, and I felt completely comfortable and secure the entire time. The staff were kind, welcoming, and attentive they truly made the experience even better. It’s located in a prime location so it’s close to everything.
The deluxe room was very spacious, clean, and well-maintained, which made my stay feel relaxing and luxurious. I also loved the rooftop bar, such a great vibe and the perfect spot to unwind.
I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone, especially solo travelers!

Hidden gem in Medellin. Very cool property and the rooms were spacious and spotless. Great location with walking distance to the night life but tucked away. The staff was great and helpful, breakfast was included. This hotel is great for couples or solo travellers. The room was designed to have a very high end feel with great finishes. We can’t wait to come back.

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.
