I had an excellent stay at the hotel from check-in to check-out. The hotel is located across from a soccer (football) field of a University, in the Laureles area.There are a lot of small stores and many restaurants within walking distance. I felt completely safe the entire time by myself. The location is just a short ride to the city and the Poblado area. Tatiana at check-in was so helpful and knowledgeable. Oscar was amazing, always willing to help and answer any questions. The hotel had a modern feel but not pretentious, definitely a hidden gem. I liked that I always saw people around, be it hanging in the lobby, restaurant, rooftop patio, or hottub. My room was a city (park) view, modern and very comfortable, spacious, with lots of room to unpack my bags and storage areas. They do have a mini fridge with drinks, candies, etc, even a condom too :) I think the condom needs to be changed, the packaging looks a bit rough lol. I did not find the room loud, even though it was facing the street. However the football players do come to play early and leave late at times, it didn't bother me. I loved that they had a hottub, after a long day of sightseeing, it was perfect to relax my muscles. They also have a hot and cold sauna. The breakfast that was included was made to order and delicious. Wasn't buffet, but was plentiful. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I even booked a day trip to Guatape through the hotel and it was amazing. Would highly recommend here and would most definitely stay here again.

“Reasonable hotel but poor breakfast”

This is a good hotel for the price. The location was great and the staff very friendly. There was some road noise but ok with ear plugs. The main downside was the breakfast, which was pretty bad. The coffee is the worst I’ve ever tasted - and on our second morning we went to a nearby cafe instead.

“A pleasant surprise.”

Where to begin? First of all, the staff was super friendly, with them messaging us via whatsapp even a day before our arrival to check if everything was going well with our trip. The rooms were decent enough, with a cozy bed and excellent shower. The hotel was well-located, with a lot of great rest… more

The rooms were decent enough, with a cozy bed and excellent shower. The hotel was well-located, with a lot of great restaurants nearby (including an EXCELLENT restaurant literally next door). The only issue we had with the hotel was the fact that the breakfast was simplistic and not very tasty, but all in all, we had a pretty good time staying at Bolivariana Plaza.

“Friendly staff”

I originally had booked with Ayenda 1234 Imperio 70. I had arranged a driver to pick me up as I arrived late at night.

I originally had booked with Ayenda 1234 Imperio 70. I had arranged a driver to pick me up as I arrived late at night. When he parked in front of the Ayenda I begged him not to leave me at that place. There had been a soccer game in the nearby stadium and there were people drinking, smoking pot in the street by the dozens. I did not feel safe. He took me to the Hotel Bolivariana Plaza. I spent 2 nights there. The room was very small, tiny, but it was very clean and the window faced a hallway, not what I expected but the location was much better than the other. It is a quiet street. Breakfast is included. I throught I could stay for the rest of the trip but they were fully booked OR I could move to 2 different rooms. I decided to move and for the same price I stayed at a much better hotel, way better. It has very nice hand painted signs all over, very inspired for self-confidence. I loved each. Breakfast has not a great variety but it is a good breakfast. It is served, not a buffet. Very basic and you have a choice of coffee or hot chocolate, which is nice because I don't drink coffee. That is where I first had an "arepa". Unfortunately I have an intolerance for corn, it just stays in my stomach all day, so for my second breakfast I declined the offer of arepas. I am very greatful for their hospitality and for taking me in that night so late without a reservation.
