The hotel is clean, comfy and basic with a solid breakfast and made to order eggs, fresh fruit, etc. The staff was fantastic and so helpful with info and calling taxis. And you will need taxis; it's a bit out of the hub of the downtown, but it does make it a breath of fresh air as Medellin is amazingly busy and crowded (and fantastic). You can cut taxi costs and time by taking taxi to the nearest Metro (15 min) and taking Metro 4 stops to the heart of the city. Next door is a bigger, swankier hotel (Binn) where you can get a drink and nice meal. Next to that is a good, but inexpensive pizza shop.
