9/10 Wonderful! (367 reviews)
This is a new hotel. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. Great location. My only complaint is that the wifi barely worked to the point that I would say if you need it then you should stay elsewhere.

It was exactly what I expected. I felt safe, and they were very helpful when I had questions. The apartment was clean, and as it was in the pictures. I would stay there again. It was very quiet, a good location.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

An amazing city that went beyond expectations. Definitely plan to come back.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Centro is an area to steer clear, lots of drug use in this area from the homeless population which seems concentrated here. Saw people walking with syringes and also smoking pipes in middle of the street in broad daylight.

5/5 - Excellent

Lewis

Medellin is a beautiful city with a great public transport system. It's wonderful to see trains that have not been vandalised and young people who actually respect the elderly and give up their seats or help them onto the train!
