The staff at GHL Arsenal created an amazing experience. They were kind, welcoming, helpful, and fun! The hotel was able to hold our luggage as we arrived a few hours before check-in. The rooftop pool has a beautiful view. The breakfast was delicious and they were careful to accommodate for an allergy. The location is walking distance to the walled city, but quiet at night. It was clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very good

Great staff but no hot water in the shower for my last two days there. They were notified but don’t know if anything was done since it wasn’t fixed by the time I left. I was also offered late check out due to VIP status when I checked in, but when I took up on their offer a day before checking out, they said they couldn’t do up to the time they originally offered which was 3pm. They let me stay until 2pm but apparently it wasn’t even documented since I received a call from the front desk asking me what time I was leaving. I was asked who I spoke to but I couldn’t remember the employees name. They also couldn’t upgrade my room due to VIP status but I wasn’t expecting them too since I was there for a wedding and figured most rooms would be booked. For the most part it’s a great hotel with kind employees. I would stay again and not let these two incidents deter me.

Amazing location everything walkable to all the attractions torre del reloj 4 minutes walking also el muelle de la Bodeguita. 10 minutes walk to barrio de Getsemaní. All the great restaurants with beautiful views of the city are 5 minutes away. Staff was more than amazing also everything is very clean and who was great. Hotel is fantastic the rooftop and pool are everything only thing I didn’t like was they don’t play ballenato and barely and Spanish music like we in Colombia not USA but besides that everything else was great definitely staff and location are the best
