Hotel Loyds — Hotel in Medellín

🔸GREAT location, 5 walking minutes away from restaurants and the main park/plaza in Poblado|🔸GREAT customer service. One of them went out of his way to let me use his personal phone for a local call 👌🏻|🔸If you are not a heavy sleeper then noise will be an issue 😨 (note: it wasn't for us) but still, they need to fix this.|🔸Breakfast was really good and the hours are pretty good (7 to 10). You get to choose style of 🥚🍳eggs with ham/sausage/veggie options or mix it all up. Fruits, OJ 🥤, coffee/tea, a ham/cheese sandwich 🥪, bread, arepa 🫓, cereal 🥣 or pancake. A very complete breakfast if you ask me 👌🏻|🔸 VERY CLEAN|🔸Paid Shuttle option from airport if needed.|🔸Smart TV is painfully SLOW so either take a smart device or just enjoy their cable (lots of channels).|🔸Rooms need better soundproofing, at least on the ground level|🔸Great modern clean minimalist style.|🔸Loved the executive room with Jacuzzi and Turkish bath. 🔸Bathroom is great|🔸Bed is on the very firm side but not uncomfortable if you are alright with those.|🔸The exec room also has a section in between the Jacuzzi and Turkish bath that lets natural light come in from the roof and you can't really "close" it so if light is an issue this will also be a problem for sleeping (note: it wasn't for us)||The rooms on the ground level (also where the executive room is) are literally 25 feet away from the front desk/breakfast tables and DEFINITELY need better soundproofing, you will read this a lot on other reviews but it's also not really a problem unless you are sensitive to it... my gf and I had NO issues and we spent most of our 3 days in the room 😇||Still, for this reason and being objective I can't give it...

Overall it was a good choice due to location and cleanliness. The place has absolutely no character though - it is very simple inside, no colour/decor. If you're looking for something quaint/romantic/charming, this is not the place for you. If you want something functional, then it's a good choice. ||||-Good location: near restaurants, 15 min walk from Poblado station, quiet street, safe area, 10 min walk to the Zona Rosa||-Clean||-Quiet (except sometimes you can hear the noise from the lobby even though we were on the second floor)||-Nice friendly staff but only a few words of English||-The breakfast was filling and there were some options but it wasn't the best food (fruit with your choice of eggs with arepa/toast, or pancakes or a white bread sandwich or yoghurt & granola and of course juice/coffee/tea)||-Was the only place we stayed in Colombia that offered drinking water in the lobby, which was great. ||-Strong wifi||||The room:||-The bed and pillow were a bit too hard||-As long as you close the second window blind, the room stayed quite dark, which was nice for sleeping||-The room was a good size and had lots of shelves but there weren't enough hooks (for towels) in the bathroom||-The water in the shower was hot but the water from the bathroom sink never...
