Hotel Alameda de la 10 — Hotel in Medellín

“Alameda de la 10” is a three stars accommodation where you can find all the basic comforts of a hotel of this category. I was staying in a reasonably sized room, with no frills, but clean and quiet. The decoration was simple and modern as the furniture, everything was in good conditions. Same for the bathroom, where I appreciated the strong water pressure of the shower.||||Breakfast was served downstairs next to the reception, it was various and it featured delicious fresh fruit that I really liked. The staff in the breakfast room was fantastic, as in the whole hotel. ||||For me the very best of this property is the location, above all if you are a budget traveler. The metro station of Poblado is only 5 minutes away and in front of it there's a huge supermarket where you can find everything. The whole area is full of restaurants and the central square of the neighbourhood is only 10 minutes away. Great, really!||||Last but not least, a special mention for Camilo from the reception. I've been to many hotels in the world, but I never found a receptionist as kind and polite as him. He welcomed me every time with a smile, he cared about my day, he gave me a lot of interesting suggestions. The best, really! I'm so thankful to...

Let me just say that I have never been led astray in my travels as much as I was with his hotel. The descriptions on sites like booking made it sound like an excellent location, and yes it is in Poblano, but on the periphery (near the metro station) but far from the Parco Lleras area, restaurants, and bars, and a 15 minute walk up a steep hill just to get there. Also, if you want to uber/ taxi anywhere, its a difficult location during the day with lots of traffic and one way streets. In regards to the amenities of the actual hotel, the rooms are very bare, beds with thin firm mattresses and makes you feel like you have a private room in a hostel. The hotel overall runs like a hostel, with doors closed at night and having to wait at the door for the security man who goes inside to sleep to open the door. They usually look displeased, as if you shouldn't have been out late. Breakfast was not bad, and the staff were courteous. (hence the reason I...

This hotel was over priced compared to the service you get, We requested a higher level room on reservation and got 3rd floor instead, internet is very bad here and as international travellers this really hurt us since we dont have any cellular service. The shower door was cracked so the bathroom was really wet every time we took a shower. The staff especially the bell-boys and the servers are extremely nice and the cleaning staff was there to help. If you dont speak any Spanish it would be extremely hard for you to communicate since the staff do not speak any English. Location is good very close to Lleras and Poblado with an exito and a bank right accross the street. And breakfast is...
