Hotel El Portón de San Joaquín

Friendly staff, great location (10min walk to Metro Estadio). Lovely neighbourhood, a very valid alternative to ‘alienated’ upper-class Poblado.

Took a room in 9th floor looking forward to great views... but there were only a 20x20cm window close to the ceiling and the big one was ‘milky glass’!! Pretty disappointed. Breakfast area close to lobby with a very low ceiling... not very pleasant.

The staff stands out as a highlight for me. They were professional, very helpful, and friendly from the top down. If my wife and I return to Medellin, we would stay El Porton de San Jaoquin without question.

Perhaps a small table chair would have been more useful the couch.

Everything. The staff is incredible. All of.them are very diligent. The food is excellent.

Staff were great! Camillo at check in was so friendly. He invited us to sit on the couches and have coffee while other guests checked in. The hotel is immaculately clean. It looks very new. The area is quiet and two blocks away are many restaurants and bars. The room were small, very modern. Bed was firm but comfortable. Breakfast was buffet, with eggs, meat, cheese, various breads, and coffee.

Only had one light for reading in bed, on one of the two side tables next to the bed. We had no glasses in the room. I called for two to be sent up. They never came.

Employées are very helpful and kind, breakfast is good, is very clean as well as the commun areas.
