Hotel Vallclaire Suites — Hotel in Barranquilla

This place is the worst we get in Colombia. If you are looking the website, all looks fantastic. But when you arrive, the story is quite different. First, we had to pay our 4 days before to visit the room. When we arrived, workers were still there painting the concrete “table” of the kitchen. We rented a “suite” with 2 rooms situated on a corner on the third floor. The place is very busy outside 24 hours a day and there is practically no phonic insulation. That means that all is incredibly noisy. We spoke about that to other people in other apartments located in other ooms of the hotel and they also complain about that. In the kitchen, we found an old fridge and an old cooking electric station. No glasses, no cutlery, absolutely nothing else! All the furniture is old and degraded, there was no decoration in all the apartment except one picture. Internet was working in a chaotic way. One day, when we went to the breakfast, a door of an apartment was open and we had a view in it. It was a nice place and maybe the one where probably the pictures of the website have been taken. In a nutshell, never book this place!||||Con||||Very noisy environment (no acoustic insulation from heavy and noisy traffic 24 hours a day)||It’s an apartment but with no amenities (see picture) and absolutely no accessories. (When I say no, I mean absolutely nothing, even not a glass or a knife)||Very bad state of furniture (see picture)||Bad quality of beds and linen||NEVER GO THERE DURING CARNAVAL. It’s a nightmare with unbelievable level of noise (see picture). Impossible to sleep even 1 minute!||Very poor internet and Wi-Fi. If you are lucky, you can get some connection during some periods of the day.||White walls, rough, no decoration.||Very very poor quality/price ratio||||Normal||||Breakfast ok but limited to eggs, coffee and fruit juice (no extra, it’s the only place in Colombia where we even not received fresh fruits)||Nice people (I mean, the team, not the management)||Relatively clean inside (not on the terrace)||Air conditioning in sleeping rooms (not in the living room, see picture) ||||Pro||||Nice bathroom.||Nice swimming pool (as mentioned on...

Hotel Vallclaire Suites has spacious suite rooms. Second time here, and each room has had comfortable beds, a kitchen table, fridge, sink, and sofa, as well as ample space for luggage and clothes. The bathroom is also spacious and has a long counter which worked well as a changing station when my son was still in diapers. More towels would be nice. As a family of 3 we were given 2 bath towels and one hand towel. Overall, the rooms are basic, and could use a bit of renovation- window coverings, paint falling from ceiling in bathroom. First time we were here there was nothing in the kitchen area. This time there are some plates and coffee cups. Having a kitchen area is nice, but there is no coffee machine, no pots and pans to use on burners, and no utensils to cook. |There is a swimming pool, which is mostly shaded in the afternoon, which means the water can actually get really cold. |Breakfast is included with the cost of the room, and served outside, undercover, by the pool. We have found the service at breakfast to be slow. There is no menu, and the food is very basic. |The hotel staff are friendly and helpful, and some do speak English. Rooms toward the back of the hotel are cooler because they do not receive direct sunlight like the ones...

This is a great location towards the northern side of Barranquilla. Facilities are in above average condition, the staff is excellent and very helpful every step of the way. Really nice pool area, great for kids too, a small but equipped gym, secured parking is also available. WIFI was good throughout. We had the two bedroom family room and is was more than I expected. Very large, nice terrace, three working air conditioners, a living room area with a love seat and two chairs. Huge bathroom and shower with HOT water and a shower head (Those who aren't familiar traveling in Colombia, many hotels have the shower head missing lol). Even a kitchenette area with a few chairs and cookware provided upon request. More than a tiny mini fridge is also provided. Elevator is pretty new. They have lobby computers available for your use.||Breakfast was very good and available every day. I left the room late one day and they offered to prepare breakfast for me because they noticed I wasn't there that day. Room was always cleaned, sheets were changed as well. We cannot fault anything on this hotel or its property. Our trip was mixed Business and pleasure and they made our trip flawless.||We...
