The building itself is lovely! However the service in the restaurant is terrible! We had to wait one and a half hours for our lunch and it wasn’t even that good! The waiter was rude and lacking! The rooms are so dated and the shower products seem more for a 2 star hotel than for a five star hotel! The bar in the pool area is not open until 11am, not even on a very busy weekend! I would not go back, ever!

Worst experience in a hotel

Rude staff, service was horrible, food took forever to arrive, waited a long time for order to be taken, kitchen collapsed on Saturday not enough food or staff. This place is poorly ran. Bathroom had a bad smell that didn’t go away, had to find solution myself. Coffee cups were left dirty

The property has a several concerns: 1) Upper level management is extremely rude! They act like this is the only hotel in Barranquilla, and they so confused about that! 2) Not enough staff, you can sit in there patio area for hours and maybe have one drink because of the lack of employees. 3) They don’t fumigate, bug infested hotel. You get bit by mosquitoes all day and night. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO TO MOVICH BURO 51
