You just gotta be careful with the safe box. Because they got keys and they will go in and pick at it. I was missing a couple of $20 dollar bills and 1$100 Colombian bills. So be extremely careful, with what you put in it.

Be really careful with the safe box. Because they

The hotel it wasn't bad. You just gotta be careful leaving you're valuable. I left five hundred dollars 3 -$100 bills and 8-$20 bills And 10-$100 colombian bills in the safe box, they have a keys. And what they do is they open your box and they take just a few bills. So you won't realize that they took it in my case, they took 2 $20 dollar bills and 1 $100 Colombian bill. I guess they figured that you go there to patty. And drink and you won know what you got. So just be really careful in this place. Extremely careful wait, what you put in your safe box!

Mal servicio por el personal

Uno de los peores lugares donde me he quedado. Sin incluir al recepcionista, el personal siempre anda de mal genio. Empezando por las cocineras y terminado por el chico de la entrada que nunca supe que posición o cargo tenia en ese lugar. Me parecía mas un portero que otra cosa. Mal educado por cierto y muy feo.

The room & bathroom were nice. The AC was definitely appreciated. The multiple pool areas & roof top bar was nice too. Lots of walkable dining options- fancy & not fancy restaurants. The hotel is in the middle of the activity- like the other reviews say, expect it to be loud (music every night until 2:30/3 am. I read the reviews before booking & was expecting it & not bothered. Hot water was iffy- it depended on the time of day. The hotter it was outside, the more guaranteed you were to have hot water. I took a shower at 10pm & didn't have much. We had a great stay & would definitely stay here again.

Potential to be Excellent but Poor for now!.

Hotel good but tired.We stayed in room B301 which had french doors and these could not be locked as no key. This was raised at check in and we were told we would be supplied with the key. We stayed 4 days and no key was provided so our room was not secure. Only the rooftop pool was in use the other pools being empty

Awesome boutique hotel in the action

This is a great little hotel in heart of Getsemani. Good price, clean, comfy beds, rain shower in bathroom. I love those. very friendly 24 hr front desk staff. Many cambio/change places right across street. Way better rate than airport of course. Excellent location. 5-7 minute walk to Walled city. 10-15 minute walk to the castle. About 15-20 minute taxi from airport that cost around $8-10. Probably could be cheaper, but $10 was fine for a friendly safe ride. Driver wss happy to try English and liked talking with Americans. Just 1-2 streets away from "art street" and "umbrella street ". Lively area with street music, tons of art, many bars (all have happy hour deals all day), restaurants of varying prices and lots of street food, my favorite 😊 IMO, way better than staying in walled city which was a little underwhelming: very touristy and overpriced restaurants. Roof top pool was small, more for soaking and cooling off than swimming. Great, though, in the hot afternoon after a full day iof walking the city and sight seeing. Very hapoy with this choice and would recommend and definitely return. Only con, a bit loud (late)because of the street music and early morning maintenance man at my neighbors. However, all the music is great, really gives CTG its awesome vibes. Reminded me a lot like French Quarter in New Orleans.

Beyond Loud. All night long. I can't believe they don't give out ear plugs. The blaring horns right outside the window are insane. Impossible to sleep. They also tried to scam me out of another 10.00 by saying i lost a plastic key which i did not. It's just a shady practice.
