Hotel Utüane — Hotel in Leticia

Like in other small towns in Columbia, hotel staff barely speaks English, but avery welcoming, helpful and friendly. Check in process was very fast and with a delicious welcome drink :)||||We traveled as a large group of friends and we got one bungalow per four people. Two of us stayed on the first floor and two others occupied both bunk beds on the second floor. For me personally beds were comfortable, sturdy. Note that rooms are not air conditioned, there is one ceiling fan and one wall fan per floor. Since it rains every day, rooms are quite moist. You may wake up early together with birds tweeting loudly very close to your bungalow.||||Shower is a bit narrow, clean. Personally I liked the soap provided by the hotel. The only problem - there is no hot water. Showering is very refreshing :) I would appreciate a couple of shelves in the bathroom for the storage of towel and clothes, since many of us were changing in this room (remember, bungalow is shared).||||Restaurant (size of a bar) is nice, breakfast was also very enjoyable. There is no buffet. We got almost personal attitude at the restaurant, everyone felt very welcome. Vegetarian (simply meat-free) options were available. Coffee was very weak (apparently, Columbia exports its best coffee and you can enjoy a good strong coffee only in dedicated places). If you like your coffee strong, I suggest you bring your own.||||Hotel has a very nice and well maintained pool to enjoy.||||Area in a close vicinity of the hotel is nice, hotel staff is maintaining a mini forest next to them. Otherwise hotel is located a bit outskirts the town centre, maybe 15-20 minutes walking distance through muddy streets and (for some) not so pretty neighbourhoods. Of course, there is an option to hire a taxi or a tuk-tuk for a very reasonable price. There is a small store close by where you can buy some fruits, local pastry, water. Note that they often sell water in plastic packets, so bring your own bottle. Packet water also tastes pretty bad, compared to bottled water. Hotel does not provide you with drinking water in rooms.||||Not so many mosquitoes, but it is a good idea to have a...

I totally recommend this place! Since I booked my reservation online from Boston(US) not knowing much of the Amazons area, the people at Hotel Utuane were great. Amanda was really easy to talked to, she always help us to find the best trips and accommodations that best suited my energetic/adventurous boyfriend as well as my 60 year old dad that who also wanted to explored the area. The amazons is a great place to visit, if you love adventure and want to feel like you are in a different world. ||Leticia is a saved, fun and not expensive place. At Hotel Utuane, we had great help finding travel tips in the Leticia-Peru and Brazil Amazons area.Easy and secure access to taxis, restaurant recommendations that also fitted the different tastes of my dad and my not seafood lover boyfriend. ||The place was really clean. The malokas give you the feeling of a small place but very private and natural. I totally recommend this place, it is a great value price, it keeps the idea of a natural/eco-friendly environment and the kind service of amazing people. The perfect combination for our first time in Leticia-Colombia. I will...

Very good experience and very friendly stuff. We stayed for 3 nights, they picked up us from the airport and also bringed us back. They give us a welcome drink and organised a tour with a tuktuk driver for two hours in Leticia and Tabatinga. Must mention the driver show us every possible spot where we can take good pictures 📸 and also to port if Tabatinga where we tried Antarctica beer🍺. So we booked 1h30min more for 45.000 and he bring us to mirador in Tabatinga and to Zoo where we so a lot of animals. The hotel also organised us 2 tours (Puerto Nariño and la aldea in Peru) the tours were provided from the agency amazonas extremo which was not bad so totally recommended. The breakfast and the dinner were really really tasty. Thanks Hotel Utuane for the Wonderful...
