Hostal La Presidenta — Hotel in Medellín

I don't enjoy writing negative reviews however it's only fairly be honest so that other travellers can make a decision for themselves based on facts.|When we arrived we requested an early check in as we had travelled from Bogota on the night bus which they accepted at a charge of 4000 cop an hour. We were fine with this but sat outside for 2 hours waiting for the room to be ready then they tried to charge us for that time, this was quickly rectified though.||Pros - |cheap|Anna who works there lovely! |Really nice girl, very friendly :) location is great and close to everything you will need in Pablado, room is a fair size||Cons -|We were on the ground floor right next to the common area and got very little sleep over our 3 days here.

Disgusting walls with mug, a lot of hair in the bed, a bathroom door that cannot close, no outlets(!), no curfews which resulted in a lot of noise and loud music from the garden and reception until late in the night, a leaking sink and people working in the garden. The only positive was the incredible sweet staff, but unfortunately that was it. Normally we aren't skeptical, but this was too much. After one night we decided to...
