I just stayed at 904 for 5 noches. Brief report:
1. Location: nice neighborhood - on the lower side of Ave Poblado. It IS a bit more walk to Oviedo compared to the Mansion. Also, I did not find convience store nearby for stuff like beers, etc, but the security guard can call a delivery service for you.
2. Security: good. The guards were helpful and did not have any probs with chicas. I did not feel that I had to tip them at all, though I did tip them if they did sometime specific (i.e. order beers) for me.
3. The apartment: From the 9th floor you can gaze at both of the hills. The patio has two chairs from which you can view down into the pool (there were some hotties hanging out there sometimes). I spent significant time at the balcony for smoking and gazing. This was the first place that chicas went to when coming to the apartment. The view from the bedroom wasn't so hot due to lack of exposure (you had to stick your neck out to see good stuff). The noise level was an issue there was construction going on above and every morning at 9AM I was woken by pounding construction noise. I was also woken at 2AM by some neighbor playing of all things, Coldplay. Bring your earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper.
I wanted daily maid service - Andrew has it listed for $20/day which is the price for a whole day of maid service. I spoke with Andy and the maid, and the maid quoted me 15,000 pesos for 2 hours/day. I gave her 20k and she was happy - did a good job cleaning, laundry. I noticed no money/stuff missing.
The living room couch is nice. The TV is good but not plasma/lcd. The DVD is hooked up to a decent stereo system - so you can bring your CD's and play them through the audio system. (or music DVD's for that matter).
The kitchen was adequate. Single sink. Had utensils. NO COFFEE maker. NO simple pantry items such as salt/pepper/olive oil. Did, however, had wine glasses and cork opener. Had some nice Chilean wine (side trip: recommend Casillero Diablo Chardonnay 2006 - available in U.S. - outstanding).
There's a land phone from which you can call for taxis - you call a number for taxi (listed on the phone itself) and give them your phone number and they have the address already in their system. Very easy.
Also, cell phone rental provided free. and they just added a safe though I wasn't given instructions how to operate it so I ended up not using it.
Overall, a positive experience. Would do it again. Andrew checked in once to see how I was doing. His assistant called couple of times. I have not received my deposit back but it's only been two days.
Hope this helps
Dicks out

Thanks for the report and Welcome to poblado, just be glad you were not at street level. The crew across from the place I stayed at started hammering and digging at 5am each morning including saturday. I dont think you can really fault the landlord though. Aside from aesthetics, most of the buildings are poor construction vs 1st world standards. Of course they will have beautiful furniture and paintings, but then the windows will not shut and the walls are paper thin.. Anyhow what fun would a vacation be without a hard hat and earplugs !
We now have an apartment for rent in poblado it has four big bedrooms with bathrooms, jaccuzzi overlooking the city unbelievable views everything is brand new.
Please take a close look at the pics and for futher info please pm me.
I have now three apartments fully furnished for rent.
Apartment one:
It has Jaccuzi, steam room, two bedrooms, kickass view living room, and dining room, terrace kitchen. Its 150 per day, 1200 square feet, 800 per week, 2200 per month.
Apartment two:
It has two bedrooms 1100 square feet, living room, dining room, kitchen kickass view 1200 square feet and its 120.00 per day, 600 per week, 2000 per month.
Apartment 3:
Its 4000 square feet 4 bedrooms, 4baths, kitchen, 2 livings areas, full terrace, with jaccuzi, unbelievable view must see it two, must see to believe it 2800 per day.

[QUOTE=VipMedellin]I have one for 1500 per month.[/QUOTE]Hey guys,
I'm still looking for a moderate price place. About 200/ week.
Got one offer. But have not seen the place yet. Please keep it reasonable! Not interested in 600/700 dollar a week places. AKA GRINGO PRICES! There are too many non american places that fit that criteria.
Just got back from 3rd Trip to Medellin. Still love it. Apt 904 at Torres del futuro was awesome! Best place so far. 100/ a night. Great location. Easy in and out. So I would recomend it again.

Does anyone have info on the p4p seen in Medellin and Cartagena over Holy Week? Is it busy time or deadsville? Should apartment rentals be made well in advance?
Thanks mates
The Colombians all go to Cartagena for the Holy Week so it is packed. Prices for apartments go up about 50% and many of the girls are not around.

For those that rent apartments, I wanted to know if any of you experienced problems getting your deposit back.

Which companies were they?

I just came back from Medellin. Before I went, a friend had directed me to [url]http://www.lovemedellin.com[/url] for information.
Frankly, I really did not find that site all that exciting, it has potential but still needs a lot of work. But the guide advertised on that site, Alvaro, was great. He got me a furnished apartment in the best area in El Poblado for just $1, 100 USD for an entire month. He was also great with supplying me with the hottest chicks on a daily basis at 50, 000 COP an hour (4 hours for 200, 000 COP). That is $25 an hour for girls that are 9's and 10's.
Hope this help.
I have traveled several times to Colombia, but usually its been with friends and we have had a place to stay. This time I am going on my own and I am debating whether to stay in a hotel, the new Holiday Inn or an apartment (this may be better since I can have guests come in and out) I found this link, [url]http://www.theapartmentmedellin.com/TheApartments.html[/url] and wanted to see if anyone has used them.

I just came back from a 4 day/3 night trip in Medellin. I rented the San Marcos Penthouse #2303 (2 bed in El Poblado) thru Albert at VIP. I have also seen it listed on the First American Realty website. Well, here is my review:
I arranged transportation thru Albert, got picked up at the airport by our driver. It was about a 45 minute ride into MDE. The area that the apartment is located in is very nice, with a gate. Security was excellent, they always called us whenever we had a guest or taxi waiting for us downstairs.
As for the apartment, it is exactly like it is in the pictures. However, couple of things I would like to mention. The bathroom downstairs was broken, so I had to use the one on the second floor. The place was pretty dirty, but when we arrived, there was a cute housekeeper that was cleaning the place. We left for about 2 hours, and when we came back, it was clean.
The views were spectacular, especially at night. The apartment is perched on one of the higher points. However, this made it pretty difficult for some taxi drivers to find, even though the street is located right across from the Intercontinental Hotel.
Anyway, aside from the bathroom and cleanliness issue, everything was exactly as described. The other thing that was a problem was that I tried to reach the VIP Hotel and Albert, but he was busy with some guests outside the city (El Gutape I think). However, when he was in MDE, it was very easy to reach him on the phone. ALbert was also very helpful on our first day, explaining to us how to get back home and such.
We stopped by the VIP hotel to pay our bill, and that place looked pretty nice. The receptionist was pretty hot, never got her name. All in all, I highly recommend Albert if you are planning to go to MDE for the first time. For newbies, I would also suggest staying at his hotel, because finding TLN's was a little bit more difficult than I expected.

I stayed in this exact penthouse, and it is pretty good. Everything is exactly described. However, I'd like to point out that it is not walking distance to restuarants, etc.
The only restaurant nearby is Hatoviejo (food was great) and a fruit/drink shop down the street. The only other restaurants that I can remember being close by were San Carbon and Palmihia, but that's still a good 20-30 minute walk (and remember, walking back would be quite a hike, maybe 45 minutes from the clubs down the street).
Sorry, didn't mean to criticize you, just wanted to give others correct information.

Has anybody stayed at MedellinExecutiveHotel.com yet? It looks interesting in the photos.
Large hotels owned by Colombians can be a pain in the ass. On the other hand, a private apartment can be somewhat isolated.
MedellinExecutiveHotel.com looks like it might be a good option for our traveling needs. The prices seem somewhat ambitious, however.
Anybody have positive or negative feedback about the place?
What makes this B and B different from another place now?
at client 9:
i've just come back home from a 14 day trip to medellin.
i stayed at the medellin executive hotel for the whole time in town and i have to say, it's downright perfect for anybody, who appreciates a private atmosphere to relax instead of living in a frat house or eaven worse.
the owner is a perfect host to all guests that want to experience the real medellin instead of making as many *****houses a week as possible.
if you are not the typical gringo putero seeking 10$ *****s you will definitely have a great time at the medellin executive hotel.
things you can expect while you stay at the medellin executive hotel:
- a private and very comfortable atmosphere, you're actually welcome and not just there for the host's profit.
- access to fase ii without paying the entrance fee and with this certain executive feeling to be honestly welcome in that club.
- access to privatly owned places to seek for really nice working girls without any ripp-off or waking up with itchy balls or worse.
- a host that gives his best to let you have a good time while you are in medellin.
- a host that shows you all the interesting nightlife in medellin without being target to the bad boys.
- a host that is not greedy on other competitors.
- a host that won't let you get in a fight with another guest over a working girl.
- a host that will definitely beat the shit out of you if you bring **** girls to the hotel.
- meeting and making new friends if you're interested in the real people of medellin.
well, that's about it. i've traveled a 19 hour trip from europe to medellin just on the impression that i got from the website of the medellin executive hotel. it is relievingly descent without a bunch of porn pictures that are not worth the promise. i will definitely stay at the medellin executive hotel when i'm back next year for at least 7-8 weeks and i already know for sure that it's going to be a great time again!
now, read between the lines, and you'll know the difference!

Barracuda666,
Thanks for your positive feedback about MedellinExecutiveHotel.com, and I appreciate your detailed assessment of the general environment there.
It's also clear that you have a less-than-positive opinion of a particular Australian-owned mansion. That's fine. This is not the first time I have heard negative feedback about that location and its owner, and it won't be the last time either. However, there are also guys that love the Mansion and think highly of its owner.
Personally, I have no opinion because I have never stayed at the Mansion. Although I have seen the Australian owner around Medellin, I have never spoken to Greg.
Staying at the Mansion does not interest me for a simple reason. I often date non-pros and, therefore, the environment at the Mansion does not meet my needs. Furthermore, Medellin is the easiest place in Colombia to meet a wingman. Therefore, my opinion of the Mansion is neutral because I have never stayed there and I have never spoken to the owner.
However, it is worthwhile to mention that everybody knows Greg is the owner of the Mansion. There's no secrecy.
Barracuda666, who owns Medellin Executive Hotel?
Urbanwildlife and Client 9:
Thanks for your appreciation! I just want to let the guys know, that there actually is a very good alternative to stay in Medellin.
The Medellin Executive Hotel is run by John, a Sicilian-American guy.
If you need a descent place to stay and you want to be with your non-pro girlfriend without being bothered by anybody else then the Medellin Executive Hotel will fit your needs to a 100%. There will be no stupid behaviour of other guests when you have a swim in the pool with your girl. You will be left alone with her if you want to. John will always take care of your safety if the girl turns out to be a criminal etc. If you choose to stay in the Medellin Executive Hotel you will love it and come again! I will return to Medellin next year in Juli/August and I will stay again in the Medellin Executive Hotel.
The owner is an American and a GREAT guy!! His place is TOP Notch by many American standards. Located close to the Park 10 Hotel (Parque Llares) His strict attention to detail is impeccable! ALL the amenities. The elaborate pool area, TV / Social Area situated on an outside covered large open area is awesome. The rooms are very nice.
Just my opinion.
Positive Vibes!

It is obvious that you are saying things that are not true I am very well respected person in this community I do not understand why people have to bash other people trying to obtain bussines.
Lets use this board for positve things.
I have neves said I was the owner of the executive as a favor to him I helped him in the begging by marketing his place and this is how he wants to thank me.
I hope the best for everybody who has hotels or other ventures here.
I can only speak for my self I am a hard worker who has a very nice 5 bedroom hotel and manage 5 other furnished apartments, rental cars, realestate and construction
Bullet proof car yes I do have one and its one of my best rentals here.
And bodyguard I do not have one I have Camilo which to those of you who know he is the person that does my airport pick up in a larger vehicle that makes everybody feel safer and some clients like to be picked up in the bullet proof vehicle and he also helps me run errands and everything that I have to do.
Again I would like to incentive people to just be nice and not hindered other people why can't we just all be nice and help each other.
To any of you that need anything please pm me thank you very much and have a nice day to all.
I just got another apartment in CASTROPOL which I will be remodeling its a four bedroom penthouse which will be available for rent in about a month and a half to those of you who are interested please pm me.

hello to all on the board...
i will be brief any and all questions about the executive will be answered by me personally as i am the owner....and have always been.
we are not affiliated with the hotel club vip that was in envigado, it has been shut down and the owner has sold it from what i have been told.
we are not affiliated with the hotelvip in patio bonito
my property is the medellin executive hotel
i run a top notch hotel that’s all !!!!
1. we are the closest hotel to parque lleras
2. we have the quietest location in medellin
3. we have numerous public areas so that you are not confined to your room
4. our prices are very competitive if not the least expensive for a hotel that is really in the zona rosa (poblado) area, not just close to it. yes we give discounts for extended stays.
•i do not sell real estate...i have links to authorized colombian companies with english speaking agents that by law can only charge a 3% commission!!
•i do not do construction or remodeling i will give you the information on licensed contractors if you need help
•i will not provide you with a prostitute or receive a commission or “favor” in return for doing so
•i will take you to one of the many clubs that are owned by personal friends and you will not pay a cover or a gringo price for your drink’s or new girlfriend
•i can provide you with a contact that can arrange for you to get to know women in colombia, though i prefer not to, and will never accept a fee for doing so…
•i will not take a commission from the taxi driver, that’s why he has his own page and you can contact him directly
•i will never allow an **** girl on the premises unless she is part of your family
•i do not sell visas you can link directly from my page to the colombian consulate and fill out your own paperwork in english
•i do not provide tours but i am constantly traveling around the country you are welcome to ride along, pay your own way and pitch in for gas. seems fair
•this for me is a hobby i do not need the income for survival, that’s why i can do things the way i do

Rental rates include once per week maid service and all utilities. The complex (conveniently located right next door to El Castillo and the MM is right down the hill), is very close to Oviedo, retaurants, casinos and shopping.
What a great, inepensive way to plan an extended stay or have a place while you look for longer term accommodations or a place to buy.
It is nothing fancy. It is a guys apartment. Has an extra long sofa to accommodate a tall person but it is clean, quiet and has easy access to most anywhere you will need to go in Meellin.

i am in need of a fully furnished apartment near the medellin clinic. i will be arriving on ocober 18 and leaving on october 29. i'm interested in a two bedroom as my friend will be coming along. and, high speed internet is important.
thanks, in advance
Wt69,
You are better off renting an apartment in Poblado, it will be around the same price and much more convenient and there will be no issues with safety. Taxis are dirt cheap in Medellin, now even more so with the dollar gaining over 25% in value over the past few months, so going wherever you need to go is a non-issue cost wise. I have a great taxi contact that can drive you around all night or for a couple of hours, send me a PM and I'll get you the phone numbers, etc.
Suerte,
Rock Harders

Home Invasions Warning.
I hate to post negative stuff here but I feel I should in this case. My warning is actually what should be common sense for most.
It is intended primarily for people in Medellin who rent out rooms in their apartments to foreigners, particularly to older ,naive gringos who are here looking to meet women on the internet. DO NOT RENT TO THESE PEOPLE!
I recently rented out a room in my apartment in Medellin to a man in his 50's who was quite honestly very very gringo looking. Tall, skinny, very light skinned, ect.
That alone can make you a target.
Well I told this man the rules, no strangers in the house. period. No hookers or anybody else he has not known for some time. And no matter what, don't use or give out my addresss to anyone.
I came to find out he was one of those men who look for women on websites like colombian cupid and others like it. I told him be careful, if you meet anybody do it in a safe place, and don't let them take you anywhere that you don't know.
Honestly, a man his age, he should already know this.
So he was here for about a week and one night he had a woman over. After she left he told me he met her on the internet.
I should have kicked him out that very minute, but I only warned him again not to do that. F-ing idiot.
Any, without writing too much of the horrible details this is what happened.
Saturday afternoon he (stupid gringo) enters my apartment with 3 men and a woman at gunpoint.
The first thing I know is I have a giant revolver in my face and for the next hour and a half I,m tied up hands and feet on my bathroom floor with a gun to my head while they ransack my home, steal alll my money, my debit cards and other stuff too.
The ladrones were not professionals, they were very nervous and agitated.
I THOUGHT FOR SURE THEY WERE GONNA SHOOT OR STAB ME AT ANY MINUTE.
During this ordeal the guy renting a room in my apartment told me they must have followed him to the apartment.
Long story short, the ladrones left, didn't kill us, I freed myself and called the police. At some point later I found my old nokia cel phone under my bed. That was when this dumbass said to me " Can I borrow your phone?: Some woman is supposed to meet me here in a taxi and I have to tell her not to come"
Bingo! Wow!
Thats when I realized. He was giving out my address to women he met on colombian cupid or some other bullshit website.
It was a total setup, thats why the thieves had a woman with them. They knew where he lived, what he looked like, and he probably told the woman where he was and when he'd be home. So they waited for him. How stupid can someone be?
I am posting this letter because I almost died, I was robbed of all my money and went through a terrifying ordeal.
I want to warn anybody renting rooms to foreigners to please make sure they are not using these websites, and for those of you who are using these sites, be aware there are women hunting for gringos to set up for home invasions like these.
Thank you

Hey guys,
I will be in Medellin december 4th. I will be staying in a Hotel in Parque Lleras. However, tha place that i stay at allows only 1 gust to stay per night. Since my first night i plan to party with at least 2 or 3 girls, can anyone recommend a motel near the area? Would love to see one of those that have jacuzzi, disco lights adult channels and maybe a indoor pool. Someone mentioned to go to the La Estrella sector but I am being told that area is about 30 min from Lleras. Any options you can addvise?

Hi guys,
Yes guys, I'm retiring from Hardcore Monguering! "Too much Screwing and Partying going on out there! " After a year of 2-3 girls a night ($12US for each girls company), 2-3 times a week, just too much of a good thing, is still too much! I have a lot of regular girlfriends now and can't keep up! I might open another Place in Laureles for guys who want to date regular girls and mix it up with a little monguering, and in leave La Mayorista for some Hardcore Monguers, like I used to be!
The $60kUS includes the whole "kitten Kabootle"! 100% ownership, Furniture, TV's, Stereo System, DVD Player, Microwave, "safes" in all the rooms, etc. For pics. Of My Place and more info. You can contact me at [email]frankmongeatnetzero.com[/email] or PM me with your email! Hope one of you "lucky guys" can enjoy it as much as I have!
Meanwhile, we're STILL OPEN for business as usual!

Thanks,
Reef
a friend of mine found this on craigslist and he stayed there for 6 days. i stopped by twice and hung here for a while. i will be checking in for a few days as well, but i would like to share what i took off of cl. i have since been up there to eat about 4 times at different restaurants.
his e mail
[email]gillettij@yahoo.com[/email]
"we have available a 2300 square foot penthouse apartment to share with americans and or other vacationing guys from around the globe.
we charge fifty dollars per night which will include maid service and daily breakfast. there are five bedrooms in total and each has it's own private bath. there will be internet and cable, and a phone to make free calls to the u.s. the price can be negotiable depending on the length of stay and how many there are in your party. under two weeks it is the daily rate; so one week is 350, and two weeks is 700.
the apartment is located in an upscale and quiet part of the city known as laureles. laureles is what we know as laurels as in the type of tree that is everywhere in this part of the city. everything that you would need is within walking distance of the apartment including various restaurants with a variety of choices in the type of cuisine desired.
it is a very interesting part of the city and it is a neighborhood type of an area where you can immerse yourself in the colombian culture should you so desire. also, laureles is very centralized, so taxi travel will usually be a little less due to the fact that you are already in the center of the city of medellin.
here in laureles, you are able bring your dates back to the apartment with no problem whatsoever. the individual rooms offer good privacy, have locking doors,and have new mattresses.
laureles is a very laid back area where everything that you could possibly want is within walking distance including discotecas, a shopping mall, and over 100 restaurants.
what is included: daily maid service to make your bed and clean your room,
breakfast, a local phone, the international phone, high speed wireless internet, guide service, help with your necessities, etc, etc
also available is an english speaking driver to pick you up at the airport. "

They have WiFi here and three terminals.
Standard room is 113,300 for 1, 121,300 for 2
Suites are from 131,300.
If you stay a week or more ore return often, they will work with you and give you much better rates.
The safes are in the office, open fom 6 to 6.
What do you guys usually do to safeguard your valuables? It seems like a lot of the apts don't have safes and even some of the hotels only have safes in the lobby at certain times.

I just booked a room here. The guy Andrew Campion was easy to deal with. Any people have used his places before? Hope its legit. Was a very smooth experience so far. Won't arrive til Feb.

[QUOTE=MiamiHeatLuver]Overpriced Gringo apartments,[/quote]Ok perhaps. My main concern was that it is a legit operation. Its my first time so if I pay a bit more this time its not a big deal. When I come back and know my way around then I can be more frugal.
Based on my limited searching it did not appear that the cheaper ones had digital safes or 24 hr security. There is a difference between price and value. If something is 50% less but has no 24 hr security and no digital safe then I don't consider that a good deal.
Any feedback on people using this site and that it is a legit operation would be helpful.

Thanks[/QUOTE]I rented from them 2 times when I first started going to MDE, they run a LEGIT business. EVERY SINGLE apartment complex in MDE will have a security guard or portero AND if if they are renting it out to people 9 times out if ten they will have a digital safe. Once you get there, lok around and talk to the owners for better deals in the future.
P.S. Also when you rent from these people ask them if there are NOISE ISSUES, NOT from other neighbors but if YOU yourself are accustomed to making noise.

Bartonsky,
I had a good experience with them. They are very hands-off (almost too much). I only saw one of the guys from the company once.-- to pay them the balance. However, you will be pretty much on your own as far as mongering is concerned. Renting from them is a good option if you know your way around and already have some contacts on getting chicas. Although I never asked them specifically, I doubt they will help you meet chicas like the managers at the Mansion, El Castillo or Executive Medellin Hotel (formerly VIP) would. If you have a trusted wingman, the 2BR apartments seem like a very good deal.
I found this guy. He was super helpfull.

Yes, there are cheaper places but for the value, location, the big plus of dealing with someone who is a native English speaker and it being your first trip to Medellin, doing business with Andy is a good choice. Now you can relax, practice your Spanish and keep reading about Medellin.

You can always take a taxi and go almost any place in the city for a few thousand pesos. If you are on a budget. I would recommend staying at Frank's place rather then wasting money at overpriced hotel Porblado. But, that is my choice and others may disagree.
If you are on a budget, there are also a few hostels in Porblado where you can get a private room for about 55 Mil to 65 Mil per night COP. If you elect to have a guest, most hostels in Porblado will charge about 10 Mil per night for the guest.

[QUOTE=Fla Fun]I just got back from 10 days in Medellin.

The area along Avenida Junin from Parque Bolivar to Exito is relatively safe until midnight or so. It is better to leave the rest of el Centro by 8:00 pm. Some parts are not very safe even during the day. Do you know where those parts are?
[b]the location[/b]
[indent]the apartment is in a building called san pedro de alcantara, which is one block from the well known hotel park 10 in a very quiet and safe neighborhood. in 5 minutes, you can walk to nice restaurants, in 10 min. you’re at the bodytech gym and the pomona supermarket, which is open 24 hours on fridays and saturdays. in 10 min. you can also walk to parque lleras, which is where all the action is (restaurants, clubs, discotheques). there is a beautiful river and a small, beautiful lush tropical forest with palm trees, banana trees and bamboo right next to the building.
the building has security 24/7 and is visitor-friendly, which is not the case for all apartment buildings in poblado. the building is sometimes referred to as the “gringo tower”, since many expats decided to buy or rent an apartment in this building. it’s one of the best locations in medellin.[/indent]
[b]the apartment[/b]
[indent]the apartment is on the 5th floor, and has views at the river which goes by the building and some partial views of poblado and tesoro. in this building there are only two apartments on each floor, so you don’t have many neighbors (important for parties!). the apartment has 1,900 sqft (175 m^2), 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. there is also a maids quarter with an additional, simple bath. i therefore can accommodate up to 3 parties, since i wouldn’t mind staying in the maids quarter for a couple of nights. the living room is very big, ideal for parties. there are two huge balconies. the apartment has high-speed wireless internet access (wifi). there is a fully equipped kitchen with microwave. the apartment has a washer and dryer (rare!). [/indent]
[b]the rooms[/b]
[indent]each bedroom has its own, private bath and walk-in closet. each bath is spacious, with a large shower. the two smaller bedrooms have their own, big private balcony. each of the smaller bedrooms has 151 sqft (14 m^2) and measures about 3.5 m x 4 m (without bathroom, walk-in closet and balcony). from the smaller bedrooms, you have a relatively unobstructed view into the neighborhood. nobody is looking into your room. all bedrooms and the living rooms have blinds for privacy. each bedroom has a little desk and a chair for a laptop. each bedroom has a tv and an electronic safe. [/indent]
[b]extras[/b]
[indent]i know lots of regular girls and professionals. i know the high-end and the low end (mayorista, casas, centro, streetgirls…) of p4p in medellin and i can show you around. i speak spanish fluently. [/indent]
[b]the rates[/b]
[indent]the rate depends on your length of stay and includes all utilities:[list][*]1 – 7 nights: $60/night/bedroom[*]8 – 14 nights: $50/night/bedroom[*]more than 14 nights: $45/night/bedroom[/list][/indent]

[QUOTE=Frank Casio]Hi Wizardmx,
My Place is not only girl friendly, but you find dozens of girls just a walk down the stairs! It's $25US a night or $150US a week! I tried to PM you, but your mail might be full. See if you can PM me so that I can send you info. And lots of Pics. ! Wingman fees waived for My Place guests!
Frank Casio![/QUOTE]Which area your apt is in Centro or poblado?
[QUOTE=Frank Casio] ¨My Place"! Wingman fee waved for My Place guests, only expenses are payed! Starting March 1st, what are you waiting for?[/quote]What expenses are U talking about here. Please explain in detail and tell me which area r you located?
[QUOTE=Player2]What expenses are U talking about here. Please explain in detail and tell me which area r you located?[/QUOTE]Hi Player,
Sorry guy, I was in Tampa, FL, just got back! Well most of the time, if it's my going out day and guys just want to tag along, than we each just pay our way! Sometimes guys are generous with drinks and stuff, since I translate for them or use my car, etc. ! If I take some of my friends (girls), I don't charge introduction fees, than they have to pick up taxi fairs for the girls and divide the tab ammongst themselves, I mean the guys I'm Winging! If it's just one guy, I'll pick-up 25% of the tab!
Anytime I'm taking special time out from my schedule to wing somebody, then at least my expenses have to be covered, transp. , entrace fees, etc. ! I'll drink water, don't need to drink much, but if somebody wants me to drink with them on my off day, or if they want me to take them to an expensive place like Fase ll, where I would normally not go, then of course they have to pick up the tab! Now, if feel like partying one day and they want to accompany me, then we just split the cost! If You can somehow get your e-mail to me, you'll automatically receive the info. About My Place! My Place is located in La Mayorista, it's a 3 Stratus, El Centro being a 1-2 Stratus vs. El Poblado being a Stratus 5-6!
Frank Casio!

Booby traps? Don’t forget about the snipers, machine gun turrets and the pit bulls with aids. .
I promised myself that I would never post on here again, but after a dozen phone calls from concerned friends and a local official I will make this my last post.
All is well; Have yet to be tied up. Feel free to come on over and give it a try. I have asked Jackson again to delete my thread; With all due respect my clients do not come from this board.
I have three full time residents in my hotel that the Parque Lleras cronies know, Why don’t you have one of them post what would have happened had someone come in my place. . .
Having full knowledge of where this rumor started I will say only this.
Steve, have a good flight in the morning. Glad to hear that DAS returned your laptop. Is it clean? Looking forward to your return. .
Smokin Dave, You KNOW better than to trash talk as do the clowns that you hang out with. Remember who you USED to turn to when you had a problem here my friend. .
Carlos (Charles) everyone makes mistakes; Unfortunately, I am not very forgiving, neither is DAS. Glad to hear that you sold your car, this should help you get on your way. It’s a shame when we met I thought you were getting a raw deal and had offered my help in a conversation with a mutual friend. You must NOT have gotten that message. Good luck. .
For those of you that are part of the problem here in this city whose names I will not mention, Medellin is changing enjoy it while you can. . . .
I have spent 5 years making the right contacts and friends and have become part of a VERY large and well respected family, so be well advised that no one in Medellin would be stupid enough to come in here and expect to walk away without very serious consequences.
Jackson
Please again delete my thread; I had been forewarned that I would be attacked on this site this week.
We have had our differences; this is your site and if you feel that this unsubstantiated bullshit is important repost it along with my response wherever you feel appropriate.

Hello to anyone considering an apartment rental in Medellin!
I have a very good friend staying at Franks "My Place", and this experienced monger who has traveled the world over has been treated like a King by Frank during his stay in Medellin. His apartment is very large, furnished very nicely, secure, and immaculately clean, and Frank has been there to give him tours of the city, take him shopping, introduced him to many non-pros, taken him to many non-pro clubs, as well as the p4p clubs and casas. He has been there for every need my friend has had, making his experience at My Place, and Medellin, a memorable experience for him, going way beyond what would have been expected of him. To this I say thank you Frank for taking such good care of my friend, and I hope all others who are going to be looking for lodging in Medellin, will provide Frank there business, as there is no one that provides the quality of service that he does!. Lastly, the cost of the rental is under $50.00 dollars a night, and this includes all the services that my friend has been provided!
Guys, it is a no brainer when it comes to booking your accomodations in Medellin, and that is at Frank Casio's "My Place".
Hi guys,
You can email me for pics. of My Place, La Mayorista and lots of "cuties" at (not allowed anymore, so PM me) ![blue][Email address deleted by Admin][/blue] ! I will also be posting pictures in the ISG Photo Gallery as soon as I can reduce size of file ! Admin., what happenned to original post ?

Hi Guys,
I have read the forum. Just looking for some feedback. I'ver narrowed it down to 4 Points, Hotel Dann Carlton or Park 10, I'd consider Hotel Florida but is seems a little far. But then again I know nothing about this city. Can someone give me feedback on the best of these to stay for my first time in Colombia?
I'm traveling solo, plan on meeting girls and taking them back to the room, so girl friendly is important. Also, somewhere I could meet fellow travelers would be good. I would consider an apartment as well, but it seems a bit complicated for my first time there. Thoughts?
Thanks, and please don't tell me to RTFF, I've done that but can't find a whole lot for recommendations.
I'll be there April 11 until the 15, if anyone's around, drop me a line, I'd like to hook up with a fellow punter or two.

I know you are only requesting information on the properties above, but being your first time visiting Medellin, I would recommend you read my post below about Frank Casios "My Place" and consider staying there initially, so Frank can familiarize you with where things are, places to go, and introduce you to many of his non hoeing friends. Once you get this knowledge, than you can move on to one of the places you mentioned above. This will also give you an opportunity to check out the properties you are interested in first hand. Just a thought I wanted to share with you. Good luck and have fun! :)
[size=+2][b][i]why pay more for a hotel room if you can have the privacy and flexibility of an apartment for less money?[/i][/b][/size]
[size=+1][color=blue]the location[/color][/size]
the apartment is in one of the tallest buildings in medellin and is located one block from the well known hotel park 10 in a very quiet and safe neighborhood.
in 5 minutes, you can walk to nice restaurants, in 10 min. you're at the bodytech gym and the pomona supermarket, which is open 24 hours on fridays and saturdays. in 10 min. you can also walk to parque lleras (zona rosa), which is where all the action is (restaurants, clubs, discotheques).
there is a beautiful river and a small, beautiful lush tropical forest with palm trees, banana trees and bamboo right next to the building.
the building has security 24/7 and is visitor-friendly, which is not the case for all apartment buildings in poblado. it's one of the best locations in medellin.
[size=+1][color=blue]the apartment[/color][/size]
the apartment is on 23rd floor, and has sweeping, unobstructed views of poblado and almost entire medellin from literally every window.
in this building there are only two apartments on each floor, so you don't have many neighbors (important for parties!).
the apartment has 1,700 sqft (155 m^2), 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. there is also a maids quarter with an additional, simple bath. the living room is very big, ideal for parties.
the apartment has high-speed wireless internet access (wifi, speed:4 mb download, 1 mb upload, which is the highest speed available in colombia. most apartments only have 1 mb download). there is a fully equipped kitchen with microwave. the apartment has a washer and dryer (rare!).
[size=+1][color=blue]the rooms[/color][/size]
there are three bedroms: the master bedroom, the 1st and the 2nd bedroom. each bedroom has its own, private bath with shower, sink and toilet and walk-in closet. each of the smaller bedrooms has 130 sqft (12 m^2) and measures about 3 m x 4 m (without bathroom or walk-in closet). the 1st and 2nd bedroom each have a queen size bed. from every window you have stunning views of the medellin and the surrounding mountains. nobody is looking into your room. each bedroom has cable tv and an electronic safe. the master bedroom is huge and measures 7.5 m x 5 m (37.5 m^2, 400 sqft) and has a king size bed and a table with 4 chairs.
[size=+1][color=blue]the rates[/color][/size]
the rate depends on your length of stay and includes all utilities:
[list][*]1 - 7 nights: $50/night/bedroom[*]8 - 14 nights: $45/night/bedroom[*]more than 14 nights: $40/night/bedroom[/list]
to rent the entire apartment, please inquire.

The My Place Satellite apartment:
The name My Place Satellite, and not My Place II, comes from the fact that Frank has one room in this apartment, rather than the whole apartment like in the original My Place.
It's located on Calle 33, in the Conquistadore area, and for you guys that always go by taxi, it's really close to all centro action, as well as Fase Dos and other famous places just 5-7 minutes distance by taxi from the apartment.
Just like My Place, this apartment is situated on the third floor and consists of three bedrooms, a kitchen, a livingroom, a balcony and a bathroom. The room Frank is offering comes with a new doublebed, a tv, free wifi internet and 2 big wardrobes. The big difference of My Place and this My Place satellite is that at this point (2009-04), there is no hotwater aviable in the shower, and there is no fridge in the kitchen. Frank is currently in discussions with the lady that owns the apartment about installing a electric hotwaterdevice in the shower, as well as making arrangements to store cold beers/waters/other things in the kitchen. To see current status on these matters, please contact Frank directly.
The other two rooms in the apartment are rented by two Colombians, wich I only met one of them, a Colombian Englishteacher. This guy was in his 30's and seems like "a good guy". He did stay with us when we went to some non pro clubs, and also followed us to the casa on the second floor of the house where we had some afterhour beers and chatted with the ladies offering their services.
The My Place Satellite surroundings:
If the Mayorista apartment is located in a workingclass area, this area has more of a middleclass feeling to it. The people, the cars and the houses are a bit more upscale, and the same goes for the supermarkets and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Regarding non pro girls you have some normal clubs just 100 meters down the road towards the citycenter, and for the pro girls you have Luna-Luneras on the same distance. Not to forget the casa just under the apartment – you are actually just steps away from a casa with 4-8 girls avaiable every night.
Security:
The big issue in this area must be the Calle 33 traffic, that daytime can be quite intense. There are bridges really close by the apartment, to take you walking over Calle 33, but when you are drunk and "know it all" it's easy to take a chance and cross this heavily trafficed road directly, instead of using the bridges. I write this just to let you know that the traffic can be heavy, and potentially dangerous if you don't keep an eye on the traffic.
Food/drinking:
I didn't eat in this area, but there are several restautants/snackbars in the surroundings. It looks nice, so I can't really comment further on that, at this point. To be continued.
Pro-girls:
Apart from the mentioned casa on the second floor, and Luna-Luneras that is open 24/7, I think you have to go to the centro if you want a bigger selection of girls. For non pro's, just hit the bars nearby.
Conclusion: My Place Satellit might appeal to those of you guys that want to be closer to El centro, or are hunting for non pro's as you most unlikely will take your non pro girl back home, just to find that your other room mates are phucking h**kers in their rooms.. Maybe not the best start of your evening. In this apartment it's more quiet, as you are the only gringo guest, and therefore maybe a better option for those who are looking for a bit more private and "serious" option when it comes to bedding non-pro's.
Happy Hunting / Ken Apples
I just returned from my first trip to Medellin, where I did choose to stay in Franks apartment called "My Place" in the Mayorista area of Medellin. I stayed for a week and also did visit the My Place satellite in the Conquistadores area, as well as Franks private apartment. This review is written in 3 parts, where I will describe My Place, My Place Satellite and Frank Casino himself. (the Frank Casino Review can be found in the Medellin reports section)
The My Place apartment:
The My Place apartment is an apartment on the 3rd floor on Calle 85 in the Mayorista area of Medellin. It has three bedrooms, one livingroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony.
The bedrooms are in the size 10-12 square meters, two rooms have a double bed and contain dual layers of madresses, to save your knees from your late night adventures. The last room contains two single beds, that can be put together to work as a big double bed. Every room has a induvidual doorlooker, as well as a personal roomsafe that requires no key, but you choose your personal pincode, and then just use your code to open the safe. I personaly prefer this type of safe as nobody can steal your key and open the safe. (The "key" is a numbercombination in your mind.)
All rooms are equipped with a TV and around 50 channels of international and national channels. One room also has a dvd player, and a small library of pornomovies, put there by Frank, if case you would need some extra inspiration when you are doing your thing with the girls.
The kitchen has a normal gasstove, a fridge and the usual stuff (knifes, forks, plates ect.)
The livingroom is equipped with sofas, dinnertable and chairs. It's big enough to hold a party for 6-8 persons with no problems. There's also a stereo in the livingroom where you can listen to radio/play cd music/mp3 or just plug in your ipod/laptop and play music straight from your personal library.
The bathroom is equipped with a hotwatershower and a toilet that can flush paper. It's also a long shelf below the bathroom mirror where you can spread your personal stuff, which come's in handy if you are a couple of guys (or girls! ) living there.
The balcony is quite small, but has big panoramic windows from the livingroom, so it's still nice to open it up and let the air/sounds from the street below into the apartment once in a while.
The My Place surroundings.
Franks apartment is located at the end of Calle 85 in the Mayorista area. The Mayorista area is separated from the Poblado area/ Poblado metrostation by one stop (Aguacatala) and then you reach Ayura, the metro station of La Mayorista. The trip will take less that 5 minutes, and if you choose to go by a taxi, it will take you 5-8 minutes depending on traffic (rushhour/nighttime) to reach the area, and cost you 5-6k pesos.
As the apartment is located close to a streetcorner, you have two options when you are stepping out and into the street: Take left and 5 meters ahead you will find yourself on a "normal" street, with internetcafe's, restaurants and all kind of everyday business activities. If you take right, you just have to walk 10 meters to run into the opening of the first girlbar, and another 20 meter ahead starts the little strip where you can find girls 24/7 – Seven days a week. It's quite a surreal feeling, to step out of the apartment at sunny 9am in the morning, to buy breakfast, and finding girls in high heels and (to) small skirts offer you services for 25k pesos, that are not to be found on the restaurants breakfast menu
If you continue ahead of the girls you reach a shoppingarea including 5 supermarkets, 4 or 5 banks (with atm's) and alot of small restaurants, pharmacies and other small shops in the area.
Continue further ahead and you reach the metro station that will take you to centro within 15 minutes. The cost for a one way ticket is 1500 pesos. Not bad at all. The metro runs unti 11 pm. But there are always taxis 24/7 in the area, so getting to your favorite spot in town will in most cases cost you between 5 and 10k pesos.
Security.
Before I arrived I had some worries about staying in the area (as some members on this site claim that the area is dangerous). Now, I have only stayed there for one week, so that dosn't make me a professor on dangers/safety in Medellin, but I will give you my 5 cents of input:
I'm not a big, strong guy, just the "normal guy next door". I like to dress nice, with chinos or nice designer jeans and in most cases, a good quality italian shirt on top. I'm also blonde, have blue eyes and white skin, so people will have no problems spotting me in Colombia. Anyway, I never experienced any problem staying in the mayorista area. (I had a problem in El Centro, but that story you can read about under the Frank Casino Report)
I actually did not see any other gringo during my week in Mayorista, and I didn't even see one fight or one loud argumet in the area for my whole stay. Another important point is that I don't push my luck. That meaning I don't wear any flashy watches or bling-bling stuff that could draw unwanted attention to me, and I always try to be nice and behave well wherever I go. It's about respect towards other people, no matter where they happens to be on the social ladder.
Food/drinking:
My stomach can sometimes be sensitive, but I ate and drank everyday in the area, sampling most restaurants and bars close to the apartment – and I never got a bad stomach from what I ate/drank.
The prices are modest, and you can get a full meal, non alcoholic drink included, for the same price as you pay for a single beer at Mr cocktail (8k pesos).
Pro girls:
The local pro-girls I don't' know nothing about, as I'm into non pro girls, but from Frank's latest reports it seems the mayoristagirls can be quite a fun party if you give them a try. (post #1885, Medellin reports)
Conclusion:
Would I recommend My place to other travellers? Yes, I would. If money don't matter to you, then you could stay in a boutique hotel instead, where you have 24h roomservice, jaccucci, golden knobs on you waredrobes and that kind of stuff, but if you have any kind of budget, and want to experience a gringo free area, where prices are low and you still feel like you are in Colombia, feel free to give the area a try.
And finally, even that I don't have any stakes in any corner, don't just take my words for it – Only belive what you see and experience. So next time you are in Medellin, take a taxi to the area, step out and have a couple of beers and something to eat. You might just enjoy the party. And if you need somewhere to stay, Frank Casino's "My Place" is always nearby.
Happy hunting / Ken Apples
Hi guys,
Just want to clear up a few points! My Place Satellite is a Test to see if it's a viable location for My Place ll! So far it's doing real well! It's location on Clle. 33-Rosales area is attracting a flood of attention and reservtns. I began discussions with owner about a possible purchase, if price is right!
Having Wireless access has made it attractive to some folks, although internet access is very cheap in Medellin (less than $1US an hour)! With respect to the hot water, since the location is closer to "El Centro", the temp. Of the water is warm compared to Envigado, where I live! Still working with Teresa on the issue! If I purchase the place that will no longer be a factor! Solved the "frige & beer" issue by putting a portable "Cooler" which can be filled with ice for less than $1US!
Also, I convinced Teresa to reduce her beer and drink prices for "gringos" to $4, 000cop and $5000cop while partying at "Casa Los Angeles" on the second floor! She used to charge $7, 000cop as it is a "grave yard shift Casa" (10-6:00AM) and because of the area, Clle. 33! Please PM me with email for more info. And pics. !
Frank Casio!

Hey guys,
I will be in Medellin the first part of May.
If anyone has a nice apt available, please PM me.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
Effective April 14th, both, MY Place & My Place Satellite will offer WIFI Internet for your convenience ! PM for info. and lots of pics. !
Frank Casio !
Yes guys.
The test is going well so far, and I'm in the process of negotiating the purchase of My Place ll in Clle. 33! You'll have another location, also near the center of the action (El Centro, Las Casas, Fase ll, San Diego, Luna Lunera, Casa Los Angeles, "Carboncitos" Disco, "Babylon" Disco, etc, etc.) and with the same Good-N-Cheap services which My Place offers!
My Place Satellite (forgot to mention before) is a 3-4 minute walk from the famous and beautiful "Unicentro" Mall! You will feel right at home after visiting this beautiful upscale Mall with gorgeous Colombian women walking all over the place! I'm really excited about providing my fellow Monguers a service which allows you to save over $50US ($100, 000cop +), "every single night", for more Mundane stuff, like "cuties & partying" for instance!
Can't wait to have 4 more rooms available to all you guys that have made My Place experience a real "treat"! You guys treat me real good, and at My Place l & ll we love to return the favor! PM directly for info. And lots of pics! And remember, at My Place l & ll, all rooms come with 21" Color TVs, Fans, Full size beds, safes, Cable, and now also WiFi Internet! And all this for just $25US a night or $150US a week, with Wingman fee waved for My Place guests!
Frank Casio!
Right in poblado I was able to take as many girls as I wanted, If the girl stays for the night they will charge you like cop10, 000 per night but if you go for a few hours is FREE as many girls as you want.
Just go to lleras and start the bidding LOL. I always take the girls phone number if I had a good GFE, take her out at night or have her visit me at my room.
Good luck

I speak spanish and have been to Medellin about 5 times. I need a place to stay where I won't feel stupid bringing in non pros (I hate when a receptionist starts giving me weird looks everytime I return with a different girl) I want a place that is nice and not depresing with wireless internet, I prefer poblado and wouldn't mind a place with other gringos doing the same thing. I'm tempted to call the Medellin mansion but the non pros might think I'm wierd. Plus they only have a shared bath for my travel dates. I'm in my early 30's. Any help would be nice.
Thanks[/QUOTE]
Frank Casio,
Can you please post some picture of your place that you are renting out?

Hi Justemp,

Frank Casio ![/QUOTE]Thanks for the pic. I would like to stay for 6 night. Will that be same price as 1 week rental which is $150? or cheaper? and will that have wingman fee waived or no? I will be arriving at 1st week of June. I e-mailed you on netzero but i didn't get any response back. How close is you place to casas near by other than street girls?
I think someone mentioned about tiger paw hostel being girl friendly.
How close is it located to the action? from casa girls and club/bar/street girls?
Thanks
True, girls can go visit you but, if you want them to stay you will pay 10, 000 for the night.
Tiger paw is 2 blocks away from parke lleras. For the casas you have to go to el centro or by the estadio or if not mayorista. All the girls that visited me dressed normally not like a pro.
In poblado their are about 3 casas but they are hard to find.
10a and carrera 43 second floor 5 to 6 girls cop 50, 000 to 70,000

Hi justemp,
I'll pull your emai from my netzero account and send you all the info. And pics, unfortunately I don't go there as often! Week special is the same as for 6 days and both include Wingman fee waived! My Place is about an $8, 000cop taxi drive from El Centro and a $1, 300-1, 500cop Metro or Bus ride away!

I just emailed you at your netzero email address today. Looking for availability for possibly the week of July 4th. Can you send me a few pics of the place and the girls to my email addr, along with the price quotes?
Frank,
I'll be down for five days in June. I am interested in getting more info and possibly booking. I sent you a PM yesterday with details.
Can Frank or someone else tell me if Frank's place has air-conditioning? (How necessary is it? Is it cool at night or humid and hot?)
I'm trying to decide between Frank's and the Mansion.
Frank's seems much cheaper. Those staying there seem more respectful of things like noise and being good housemates so to speak. Frank sounds great. Being able to hire a guide for a very reasonable price, all make me want to go to the Franks.
The rooms at the mansion are really nice. I love the idea of having a jacuzzi, large flat screen, etc. I like that girls visit.
I don't always mind paying more to get more, particularly when on vacation, but the contradicting reports makes it difficult to come to a decision.
Maybe I'll do both and report back?

Frank, I just want to confirm that my reservation at your place on the June is set. I sent you email but haven't heard back from you.

Hi guy!
I answer every emai I receive! No reservation is confirmed until a deposit is received! I don't think you've done that because I still don't know who you are! I don't think you are one of the guys I have for the first week of June. If this posting is out of date, then we should be in touch already through my email!

Does anyone know if Intercontinental hotel is girl friendly?
Also how much should I expect to pay for taxi from airport to IC hotel? IC hotel to downtown casas? and IC to Mayorista area?
Thanks in advance and any nice casa near by IC with address,name, price would be appreciated.
Do ATM's on airport give you same rate as ones in bank or is it less COP per USD? I am wondering since from my experience with most other ATM's in other countries, airport seems to give you lower return per USD.

Stop polluting, please!
Tell me, if you stay at one of the nicer hotels, does the staff get all huffy if you try to bring a prepago up to your room?
Hi Vacquero,
No, you're not going to have a problem bringing a girl to your room. However, they are quite concerned about security. They will want to see her ID, maybe keep it until she leaves again. She needs to be 18 years or older. If she stays over night, you'll need to register her and they charge extra for the guest (typically COP 40, 000). I bring girls into hotels for Girlfriend 4 A Week all the time and I have experience with hotels like Sheraton (Four Points), Intercontinental and others.
The less obvious your girl dresses, the fewer problems you're going to have. Our girls don't dress like prepagos at all and we don't have any problems. If your girl looks as if she's likely going to make a scene, they might be a bit more difficult.
Have fun,

I don't normally write reviews, but I will in this case. I went to Medellin by myself to check out all the good things I had heard about it. I have been to Bogota and Cali before, but never Medellin. It was a pretty busy weekend, and I got information from several people who had apartments for rent. I found "Robert" from vacationrentalsmedellin.com. He has 2 BRs for rent in a 3BR apartment (he lives in the other one). I wasnt looking to stay with anyone, but after giving it some thought, it seemed like a good way to meet someone local without starting out at a local bar my myself. It was clearly one of the best decisions of the trip. Robert lives in the next to highest floor in one of the tallest buildings in Medellin. He was more than glad to show me around as well as introduce me to some of his friends (and when I say friends I mean some super hot girls he "works" with).
He is a smart guy and really "gets it." More than likely he knows why you are there and is more than glad to point you in the right direction to find what you are looking for. My thought on the whole thing before I got there was "look, if this guy is a weirdo, I can always peace out after one night and find a better place." Trust me, there was no need to do this. He was just a cool guy just to hang out with and talk about all the things Medellin has to offer. I don't know if Robert would be available to take everyone out personally, but he made my brief stay awesome. We even got to check out some of the local adult establishments and Robert was more than glad to do so—he even waited around and enjoyed a beer while I enjoyed some of the other offerings. We also checked out some of the higher end "casas" as well as the infamous "Mayorista." Yes, there are a lot of girls near Mayorista, but that is not where the talent is down there. I would recommend it for pure entertainment, but not for any real action (sure if you want a beaten up used car, this is where you should go, but why drive a beaten up VW in an area known for Rolls Royce). Anyway, back to the apartment, the building is only about 5 minutes from Parque Lleras and you can get there by taxi for less than 2-3 bucks. It’s also walking distance from a great supermarket (Pamona) and a BanColombia (local bank) in case you need some cash.
I also had absolutely no idea when I arrived, but this guy also runs a website called girlfriend4aweek.com as well as a local modeling agency (you get the picture). I got a nickel tour and can assure you that you would be disappointed with either. The prices seem a little high (and they are compared to Mayorista or the street walkers), but when you think about what you get and the minimum 12 hour time, it’s actually pretty damn cheap. Another thing I thought was cool was that even though he was in the "adult entertainment" business so to speak, he didn’t try to pressure me at all into partaking in any of his offerings. I was so intrigued by the business though, that I must have peppered him with 1000 questions about them (who isn’t intrigued by the inter-workings of an adult business). Anyway, if you are interested in what he might have to offer, what better was to check it out then by staying with the guy, right?
Give it a try--I assure you that you won't be disappointed. If you are, then just find another place once you get there. Where else in the world can you stay in such a great location and have someone who knows the lay of the land right there to point you in the right direction?

[QUOTE=Justemp]Does anyone know if Intercontinental hotel is girl friendly?[/QUOTE]Yes, the Inter is girl friendly. When I drop off my girls there, I just walk them right to the elevator and we go to the room of the client. We've never been asked any questions. Most hotels want to see the ID of the girl and might ask her to leave her ID at the registration desk. If she stays overnight, they might require her to check in and they might charge you a guest fee (e.g. COP 40,000 in the Sheraton).
[QUOTE=Justemp]Also how much should I expect to pay for taxi from airport to IC hotel? IC hotel to downtown casas? and IC to Mayorista area?[/QUOTE]I would advice against just hopping into a taxi at the airport. That's when you're the most vulnerable: You know nothing about the area and you have EVERYTHING on you. A friend of mind was taken on the "walk of the millionaires" on a taxi ride from the airport. No fun! Better have a known driver pick you up. Let me know if you need my help.
The ride from the airport to the hotel IC with a decent car should run between COP 55,000 and 70,000. Taxis charge 50,000, I believe. Keep in mind that regular taxis here are TINY. If you travel with more than just hand luggage, you might not be able to fit your suitcase into the taxi. Another reason to order a decent car and driver.
The taxi ride from the IC to the centro should be between COP 7,000 and 10,000, depending on where you go. IC to Mayorista should be between COP 5,000 and 7,000.
[QUOTE=Justemp]Thanks in advance and any nice casa near by IC with address,name, price would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]The only casa I'm aware of which is in Poblado, close to the IC is Loutron. It's also the most elegant and most expensive casa. COP 170,000 for 60 min., I believe. All other casas are between COP 7,000 and COP 15,000 away. That's the price for living in a safe, upscale area like Poblado.
[QUOTE=Justemp]Do ATM's on airport give you same rate as ones in bank or is it less COP per USD? I am wondering since from my experience with most other ATM's in other countries, airport seems to give you lower return per USD.[/QUOTE]
I don't think that there is an ATM in the airport. Have your driver take you to a Bank Colombia ATM on your way to the hotel. Another reason for having a driver you know. No, I'm not in the driver business ;-). I believe that the rates of all ATMs are the same on a particular day. But I might be wrong.

All, have 2 quick questions on rentals featured here: [url]http://www.paradiserealtymedellin.com/rent.asp[/url]
1.) Do these apartments typically feature air condition? I personally cannot live without a.c.
2.) On those 24 hour security rentals, do the security hassle you for bringing back multiple girls in one night? How is that typically handled? Do you need to give them a bribe to look the other way, or do they just ignore the chicas if you have a key?
You really should pay for all this FREE info..
So here is some.
AC should not be a problem in Medellin.
You should not have a problem bringing Chicas to your apartment.

I share 2 rooms in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment in short walking distance from Parque Lleras. For the details (photos & videos), look at [url]http://vacationrentalsmedellin.com[/url].
What really makes this apartment special are the fringe benefits:[indent][list][*]I’m the owner of the most exclusive escort service in Medellin (Girlfriend 4 A Week: [url=http://www.girlfriend4aweek.com]my website[/url], [url=http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?t=2983]my ISG thread[/url]), so I have hot girls coming in and out all the time.
[*]I also own a modeling agency. What does that mean for you? Well, more hot girls ;-).
[*]I have a professional photo studio in my apartment and I have photo shoots every couple of days. You can witness a professional photo shoot in your own apartment.

[*]I teach an English class, which is full of cute girls (currently we have 15 girls and 2 guys). They all are participants and winners of local beauty contests. I bring Gringos staying with me into the class on a regular basis to give the girls the chance to talk to a “real Gringo”. Every girl is going to have a small conversation with you. We also typically go and have a coffee together after the class, which is a perfect opportunity to hook up.

I want to make a pitch for the Hotel Nutibara in El Centro, which I stayed at in June.
Their rate is 107,000 COP per night ($53). Discounted for stays of 10 days or longer.
I got a nice, comfortable room and bed with the color/cable TV, and a shower where the hot water came on right away. There's a safe in the room for your valuables. They've got a unheated pool, plus sauna and steam room. Also, every morning I got a big buffet breakfast plus coffee and juice.
The staff speaks some English and is very helpful. Its in the heart of Medellin, close enough to walk to all the action.
I'm staying there when I return in October, bayboy
I wanted to thank PaisaLover for taking the time with me on the phone to explain his set-up. I'll be on the ground in early September and look forward to exploring with Medellin with him on my maiden voyage. Full field report to follow!

Anyone have a good apt rental place they use and can recommend in the Parque Lerras / Poblado area? I'm not looking to share. I was looking at First American Reality. They have some nice places at reasonable prices, but recently there is bad reviews about them saying the place is dirty and things broken. Etc. I understand that most of these guys are just listing agents, but they should at least make sure everything is in good working order before the guest arrives!
Any reviews? Prices look too good to be true!
My buddy ask me to post this on ISG to warn other members about First American Realty.
The email below is the email I sent to the apartment owner when he finally sent us a response well into our trip, looking for the rest of his money, after we left his apartment. This should answer everything. I will do a real trip report of the fun stuff. This email summarizes our experiences with this rental/sales agency. There have been reports of them inconveniencing others, but this takes the cake.
Even though we didn't get reimbursed owner sent us an apology, the other fuckers. Still haven't heard form them after this email.
If you want to rent an apartment [url]www.theapartmentmedellin.com[/url] are the most professional cats around (maybe pricier, but you get what you pay for)

[quote]Hello David R;
This is the first time that we are communicating, so I will approach this situation as though you have had little direct knowledge of what has happened to us, with our experiences with First American Realty, in general, and Your apartment, specifically. I will keep this as concise as possible, so maybe we can keep this civil moving forward, I rather make friends than not.
· February 13, 2009, we transferred $317 dollars to Rich Holman/John Duque (First American Realty) for a 9 night stay from July 24th to Aug 2nd
· Received confirmation for the stay in apartment, have emails from February 2009 specifically confirming that Jacuzzi and all other amenities in apartment (wifi, sauna, steam room, local phone, cell phone) would be active. (we only picked your apartment because of Penthouse, Wifi, Jacuzzi, Steam and Sauna. Otherwise we would have used somewhere else
· June 28th 2009, on a hunch (I never do this), sent an email to First American Realty just to reconfirm that we were good to go on the apartment
· June 30th 2009, finally a response from First American Realty, telling us, and I quote "The apartment that John confirmed for you was already booked. Coincidentally we do not manage that apartment directly and we have been having major problems with it in terms of the Internet, the Jacuzzi not working properly, the roof has been leaking and some other problems. We have been concerned about the lack of resolution of these problems for our clients." We called Rich Holman immediately, since his response was an obvious lie about a booking we made in February. He also informed us that the owner was preoccupied with building a strip club, and that the management was poor at best, recommending another apartment that we would never seriously consider ourselves.
· Aug 24 2009, after numerous emails reassuring us that everything was ok with the apartment, we arrived in Medellin, during one of the busiest times of the year. Upon arriving at the apartment we see that two men have been doing some quick cleaning, and straightening in the apartment. We quickly notice the following, since we are already onguard because of the lack of professionalism and integrity up to this point in the process:
· No Wifi (seems like bill hasn't been paid)
· No local phone line (seems like bill hasn't been paid)
· No Jacuzzi (it is both dirty and does not work)
· No Sauna (not functional)
· No Steam room (not functional)
· No cell phone (after yelling at John Duque of First American on the phone, he makes the guy there--NOT the actual property manager who is no where to be found give us a sim
· No Iron (the pseudo property manager--who seemed like he has rarely been in that apartment I may add is asked to go buy an iron)
· No instructions on the safes[/quote]Now, in all fairness, John Duque was a trooper, he made some of his usual promises that all would be well by Saturday, the 25th, with the internet and the Jacuzzi, and mentioning that HE didn't feel that it was a 'big deal'.
Wait, Did I mention:
The pseudo property manager asked us to leave our keys at the front desk each time we left the apartment. On our second night, Saturday Night, we realized that Someone STOLE one of our brand new bottles of Alcohol from our Kitchen Counter, it was a BIG bottle. Yet another first.
After no one showed up on Saturday, we realized that we were being taken for a ride.
Aside: why was John emailing us, when we had NO internet connection?
We were being taken for a ride by the same people who failed to inform us that the apartment we wanted to book was 'already booked', well in advance, something that would have been nice, since we were coming to Medellin during the busiest year, thereby giving us some VALID OPTIONS (believe me, we tried to find alternatives).
Taken for a ride by the same people who kept changing their story about the reasons the apartment wasn't available (there are loads of emails that went back and forth)
Taken for a ride by the same people who had the audacity to send us an email on Saturday (telling us that they were coming for the rest of their money on Monday--no mention of the shortcomings of the apartment, or the lack of resolution of the issues? )
We decided it was best to get out of there, and salvage what would be left of our trip.
We actually believe we are owed something, since we had very few options because of the timing, forcing us to leave Colombia earlier than we planned.
Once again, we can see that there is more miscommunication seeing as we left the apartment the morning of Monday, July 27th (something that would have been obvious if workers really did show up to fix all the things that were wrong with the apartment), leaving our key at the front gate.
You people did a lot towards ruining a trip that was a half a year in the planning, but we were not going to let that happen--that was NEVER going to happen.
By 'you people' I mean:
· David R (you are the owner, whether or not you have any knowledge of what has been happening)
· Rich H /John D of First American Realty (no need for explanation)
· Albert (we never met, not sure we should have even needed to meet)
· The pseudo property manager and the other gentleman with him
We are businessmen ourselves, and conduct business overseas. We also own properties, NEVER have I had an experience with people with such a lack of integrity, and with blatant disregard for the intelligence of customers.
Maybe it is best that we all never met.
Fortunately, we do have large networks of fellow travelers to your city with interests in both rental and purchase properties that we will be sure to inform of your incompetence, dishonesty, and complete disregard.

Hi guys,
I'm planning to stay in Medellin for about a couple of months or so. I've check most apartments listed in the internet including here but most are in the price range of $800-$1200 a month. I've already talked to a realtor from Medellin and told me that those are the standard prices there. Are these gringo prices or not? I don't wanna end up getting rip off, so I ask if any of you guys know?
What is the average monthly rental for a 1 bedroom apartment in the El Poblado area?
Thanks,

Atc[/QUOTE]I think it's normal prices for Poblado, especially for short term 2 months.
Also if you get a "colombian" apartment, not "gringo", it can have very different standards. You should check what's included in the apartment. If it has a 42" plazma TV or some 20 y.e small TV. Some old bed and chairs, or modern furniture. Fucked up shower/bathtub or a renovated nice shower cabin, etc..
Other areas would be much cheaper. But if it's only 2 month, you would not save much.
Hotel El Castillo, right in the middle of Poblado.
Monthly rate is around $900.00 USD, included is breakfast, laundry (no ironing but you can do it your self or pay a maid)

If you don't mind me asking, but which rooms at the Castillo does that rate cover? If only for a set number of rooms, please advise here or in PM the monthly rates you'd charge for room #9.
I'm booked into room #9 for approx 33 days and I'm paying almost triple that rate.
I've asked this in private as well, but I hope that others will see that at $900 USD for a month, I'll personally vouch that it's the best deal I've ever seen in Medellin.
Cheers
If everything you say is true then I would have told them to screw off when they arrived for the rest of their money and at least milked it for another couple of days since you only paid them $317 up front. I would have also ran to a internet cafe and had print outs of the original agreement with what you wanted highlighted.
[QUOTE=Pana Nyc]My buddy ask me to post this on ISG to warn other members about First American Realty.
The email below is the email I sent to the apartment owner when he finally sent us a response well into our trip, looking for the rest of his money, after we left his apartment. This should answer everything. I will do a real trip report of the fun stuff. This email summarizes our experiences with this rental/sales agency. There have been reports of them inconveniencing others, but this takes the cake.
Even though we didn't get reimbursed owner sent us an apology, the other fuckers. Still haven't heard form them after this email.

ACAZAR DEL PARQUEL have studios in an apartment hotel from 1. 3 million COP + public servicies.
Anyone have experience from living there?
It seems to be a good option for a long term rental, even though it is above my normal price range, but the luxury can make it worth it.
However there are lot´s of cheap apartments to rent, but they are not furnished. It costs to furnish, write all contracts, pay all bills, and then leave , practically having to leave everyting behind.
The best option should be to rent a room, but then you loose your privacy (chicas).
A catch 22-situation for one who wants to have a low rent.

[QUOTE=BayBoy]I want to make a pitch for the Hotel Nutibara in El Centro, which I stayed at in June.
Their rate is 107,000 COP per night ($53). Discounted for stays of 10 days or longer.
I got a nice, comfortable room and bed with the color/cable TV, and a shower where the hot water came on right away. There's a safe in the room for your valuables. They've got a unheated pool, plus sauna and steam room. Also, every morning I got a big buffet breakfast plus coffee and juice.
The staff speaks some English and is very helpful. Its in the heart of Medellin, close enough to walk to all the action.
I'm staying there when I return in October, bayboy[/QUOTE]Hi,
Do the hotel have a website? Do they check for ID's for the girls or otherwise chica friendly?
How safe did you feel staying there?
Also do they have air-condition?
What are your top jacuzzi suites in hotels or apartments?
Which ones don't you recommend?
TheKnife
The hotel felt very safe to me, there were a lot of staff and employees around the premises. Yes, there is air conditioning.
I didnt bring any chicas back to my room, so I don't know if they're chica friendly. Website: [url]www.hotelnutibara.com[/url], [email]reservas@hotelnutibara.com[/email]

Hi guys,
My wingman and I are coming down to Medellin the first week of October. I've got a room at the Four Points Sheraton. It is near the Oviedo mall in El Poblado. Does anyone know how girl friendly they are and if they charge a chica fee?
The plan was for my buddy to get a room close by. Frank's Place II is walking distance or the Mansion. But I see from Frank's posts that FP II is now closed? Any recommendations guys for somewhere else that is close by and girl friendly?
Sounds like it's hard to get girls from the Mayorista to come back with you anyway? We both have very limited Spanish.
Hi AlwaysRandy,
the FourPoints Sheraton is reasonably chica-friendly. They'll want to see the ID of the girl and probably register her if she stays more than just an hour or two. If they register her, they'll also charge you a guest fee. That's the same with all hotels in Medellin.
If you look for a more private place to stay, why don't you check out my rooms ([url]http://vacationrentalsmedellin.com[/url])? As you might know, I'm the owner of Girlfriend 4 A Week, I have a professional photo studio in my apartment and I also own a modeling agency. People who stay at my place are also automatically invited to the VIP Parties I occasionally throw for my clients. Lot's of action going on. Drop me a line if you're interested.

I actually took the time to have Rich over and interviewed him about was written.
Richard proceeded to tell me his version of the story.
Apparently, you posted this for your friend, and somehow you were doing him a favor.
Flaming First American like you did was unnecessary.
Most of the Americans that live here know and llike Rich and have done business with him, but they don´t post here on this forum.
Really, Jackson shouldn´t have allowed that post because of the negativity of it.
IMHO, We are all here to post positives and negatives to save one another from the pitfalls that exist when traveling etc.
Also, when hearing Rich´s side of story, it was 180 degrees different.
He did admit that there were things that were not working, and that he would´ve offered a discount.
Also, this is not to discredit the other two businesses that were listed.
Both of them are getting good reviews from the people that I have talked to.
Just my two cents.
Hey guys,
Can someone help me and advise of apartments for rent that are chica friendly? I will be in Medellin Halloween weekend and would like to stay at an apartment where I can bring a few chicas and party without worrying that I might bother the room next door or have someone knock at my door at a hotel.
The Sheraton is girl friendly, but they made copy of her id when she comes in at night, and they ask why are so many women coming and going.
Have fun.

[QUOTE=Parcero]He did admit that there were things that were not working, and that he would've offered a discount.[/QUOTE]I think this part of the story is not in dispute and this is what started the whole mess. IMO, this started it and communication problems ensued.
IMHO, regarding rental agencies in general (not necessarily FAR). Most list other people's properties not their own. They don't know the condition of the property. HOWEVER, it should be the rental agencies job to ensure that the property is clean and everything is in working order BEFORE the renter arrives.
The renter shouldn't arrive to see a place in bad condition and be offered a discount! Most are on vacation and don't have time to deal with this mess. They don't want to save a couple of dollars from a crappy place. They are on vacation and want to enjoy themselves!
Since I was looking for a place too, I did a lot of research and found that most rental places are not reliable in regard to the condition of the apartment. Only exception might be reviews of a specific unit. This is why I find that I will NEVER pay in advance for the rental of apartment (more than a day or two). I will go there myself and inspect the apartment.
My 2 cents.

[/QUOTE]From my experience with FirstAmericanRealtyMedellin, this is what they do, they have been very professional. Of course nothing is perfect and especially in this rental management business, some incidents may happen to anyone, no matter how good you are. I guess its not so easy to keep it up with so many different apartments, apartment owners and renters. Hopefully everybody learns from that incident.

Were you replying to me or the original poster? I wasn't sure since you replied to me. I do not know the original poster and he is not my friend. Hence me saying 'if what you are saying is true'. I think everyone knows there are two stories and what is true is usually somewhere in the middle. I didn't see anything negative in his post other than he had a horrible experience.

bayboy[/QUOTE]Thanks for the replies!
When you find out, can you also let us know the following:
1.) What are the approx dimensions of a standard room? (of if no idea, maybe a description of small/cramped vs. medium vs. large/spacious for the size of the room will do)
2.) Do they have queen sized beds or better in single standard rooms?
3.) Will they be okay w/ chicas and do they charge you a fine if you bring one?
To Fade Into:
The size of the rooms are medium, American standard size. The bed is a double. As far as chicas are concerned the bellhop told me thats its OK to bring a chica for an hour no charge. All night is 40,000 COP.
Has anyone stayed at the Internacional Hotel, Calle 52,46-55 in Medellin? If so, how is it? I could not locate much on a search, it could be operator error:)

Hi guys,
I'm buying a house in Tampa, Fl and will be travelling back and forth more often, so in addition to My Place, my house (Mi Casa) in Envigado will also be available. You can now have the comfort of peaceful surroundings, but with access to all the hot spots. Mi Casa has the 2 main bus routes going to El Poblado and El Centro right accross the street along with a taxi stop also accross the street.
You'll be surrounded by beautiful green vegetation, flowers and your typical "girl next door", but Paisa! Apartment includes 2 rooms and 2 baths, 21" color TV's, cable, 24/7 News Channels (CNN, FOX), Wifi Internet, etc.
Perfect for 2 friends at $350US each, $700US total a month. At $11US and change a day you'll be making a killing. Even if 2 of you stay 2 weeks it will cost you just $23US and change each, can't beat that. Three weeks would run you $16US and change a day each.
One month, minimum reservation accepted. Full payment of $700US in advance to one of my US accounts. PM me directly for info. And pics. Make your reservations NOW! Pics. Attached!

After arriving in MDE last week, I stayed at the Nutibara hotel. The hotel is ok but I bailed after 4 nights due to the noise from the disco etc. You can bring in a guest for a few hours with no charge. If they stay overnight, 40, 000 pesos. I could have relocated to another room but wanted to view other options. My bed was like sleeping on a covered board, probably just an isolated incident? Perks. In room safe, A/C, no internet in room. Internet cafe on first floor.
Hotel Internacional (not the International a different place). Is cheap ($45/night). Don't expect much. It appeared safe but the single room was just enough room to turn around in. Had to turn sideways to get into the bathroom and I'am not a big guy. This would be a good place to have a secondary room just for your romps if you have someone special and want to keep your escapades away from prying eyes.
Hotel Gran, [url]www.Granhotel. Com, same[/url] rate as Nutibara, $56/night. The rooms are about the same size as in Nutibara but not quite as noisy. No A/C in my room but I don't need it, adjustable slated windows for ventilation, balcony. Rotating fan in room if needed, in room Wi-Fi that's a plus. Safe in room also. Not sure about chica fees? I had one visitor in twice so far staying a few hours each visit and no questions were asked. It may be because it was the same woman vs. Different women. I took the mentality don't ask if I can bring in a friend, just do it and see what happens. After I have a visitor overnight, I'll report back.
Had plans to visit some of the old spots but just have not gotten around to it. My Spanish is a bit better now and opportunities are everywhere. Most women here have the same complaint, Colombian men have too many women and Americans are perceived as treating them better.
Enjoy!

My review:
The penthouse is very nice. The view is great. The location is in El Poblado with many taxis passing by, however it's not close to the metro.
I was dealing with Robert while booking my room at the penthouse. He seemed like a pretty easy going guy when I talked to him on the phone, so I decided to give it a try. I sent $120 deposit via Paypal.
Well, I would say that Robert is a little too easy going. It usually took me two emails to get my questions answered for things like: was my PayPal received, what's the address of the place, etc. I felt a bit nervous when right before my arrival Robert emailed me to find out how long I was planning to stay. Wait, where did I send my deposit, do I have a place to stay, is it double-booked? Those are all the questions that popped into my mind right away.
However, I did have a place to stay when I got there. For some reason, I had to stay in one room the first night and then move to the other room. Even though the first room was a better one, it was a bit inconvenient for me. Also, I did not have a TV in my room at first even though it was advertised. Well, these are all small things and did not bother me much.
Robert took me out a couple of times with his friends. It was a lot of fun even though I had to pick up half of the bill for those outings. Gringo prices, I guess.
One thing that I did not like at all was when I got a girl through Robert. Robert showed me the pictures of this gorgeous woman, and I decided to take her. It was $100US for uncertain amount of time. First thing, Robert asked me that I pay him the money, and he would pay the girl. I asked him what his cut was. He said that he was not a pimp and did not take the cut, and that it was just the thing of control. That the girls would know that they would have to deal with him if something went wrong. Fine. Then he said that the girl is in the taxi right now and would arrive in 45 minutes. The girl arrived 2 hours and 45 minutes later. Moreover, a different girl arrived. Of course, none of that was communicated to me beforehand. Well, the other girl was also very pretty, so I decided to go for it.
It happened that the girl refused to give me a blowjob. I am not blaming Robert for that. However, I told him that while paying $100US for the girl with $20, 000COL for taxi. When I walked into the room after, I saw Robert reprimanding the girl for not giving me a blowjob, and giving her only the 20K for taxi. I asked him whether he paid the girl, and he said yes not looking into my eyes. Also, the girl did not look like she was paid. I am not 100% sure that she was not paid, but it sure looked like it.
Well, if she was not paid, I have two problems with this. First, she did her work no matter how badly and should get paid for it. Second, even if Robert's judgement was not to pay her or partially pay her, and he is not a pimp, then I should get the money back. I did not.
One other thing, Joey has arrived in the middle of my stay. It looks like he is the guy who finances the whole thing and who is really in charge. After his arrival, my room was daily cleaned even though it was not part of the agreement. Joey also was very interested in my opinion about the place, and I have told him everything I am writing here. It looks like he is trying to make it a good business, and took all my concerns into account.
Overall, I will probably stay there at least once more. I think it has all the potential to give a good competition to the Medellin Mansion.
What is the normal rate for rooms? Can someone give me this info? Greg help?
Will be my first trip, like the $ exchange rate, got great info on girls, great reviews guys. Sounds like the GFe is good down there, might like it better than SJO. Will take advice and stay at above mentioned hotels/ limited spanish speaker, very, but love latina passion.
[QUOTE=Edik Rough]Overall, I will probably stay there at least once more. I think it has all the potential to give a good competition to the Medellin Mansion.[/QUOTE]Are you kidding me? They sound like cons! Definitely people to avoid. If you go out with his friends (unless they are female) you should pay your own share and that's it. Whenever people talk in terms of US dollars. You are getting ripped! Any time you are not paying the girl directly it means they are getting a cut. Stay at any of the other gringo places and they will introduce you to girls for free. From the sounds of this, I would definitely prefer the Mansion better!
I heard about a new law in Colombia that's to take effect in January - supposedly it prevents people from renting out apartments in lieu of hotels - has anyone heard about this and confirm this?
[QUOTE=Edik Rough]Overall, I will probably stay there at least once more. I think it has all the potential to give a good competition to the Medellin Mansion.[/QUOTE]I think it is always a mistake to mix pleasure and accommodations. In both areas I believe you got the shaft. There are much better options available for apartment rental and for getting girls. Just read this board.
[QUOTE=Dickfer]I heard about a new law in Colombia that's to take effect in January - supposedly it prevents people from renting out apartments in lieu of hotels - has anyone heard about this and confirm this?[/QUOTE]I hear that the law was supposed to take hold in Jan. but got pushed back to April.
From a RE agent frend of mine he says that they're going to keep doing business as usual and just draw up a bull-crap form saying you stayed for a month or more to skirt this STUPID law.
OH
I'm thinking about going back to Mede in April/May any tips on a good and CHEAP apartment? like $20-$40 a night? Thanks for any leads.

[QUOTE=Frank Casio]Hi guys,
I'm buying a house in Tampa, Fl and will be travelling back and forth more often, so in addition to My Place, my house (Mi Casa) in Envigado will also be available. You can now have the comfort of peaceful surroundings, but with access to all the hot spots. Mi Casa has the 2 main bus routes going to El Poblado and El Centro right accross the street along with a taxi stop also accross the street.
You'll be surrounded by beautiful green vegetation, flowers and your typical "girl next door", but Paisa! Apartment includes 2 rooms and 2 baths, 21" color TV's, cable, 24/7 News Channels (CNN, FOX), Wifi Internet, etc.
Perfect for 2 friends at $350US each, $700US total a month. At $11US and change a day you'll be making a killing. Even if 2 of you stay 2 weeks it will cost you just $23US and change each, can't beat that. Three weeks would run you $16US and change a day each.
One month, minimum reservation accepted. Full payment of $700US in advance to one of my US accounts. PM me directly for info. And pics. Make your reservations NOW! Pics. Attached!

[quote=paisalov99]spring special this week only rooms are just $25 usd per day. [url]http://www.envigadovip.com[/url][/quote]this apartment is very nice, quiet, and comfortable.
you can call the supermarket and they deliver. it has security guard so if anyone shows up uninvited the guard calls you before they let the person in.
just make sure you write down the address with directions for taxi drivers.
the shower in the master bedroom is kind of cool, it has a glass door that leads out directly to the baloney, so you can get a view of the city at night from the shower.
it also has high speed internet access. i highly recommend the apartment as a place to stay.
I've read through several pages of this topic, but not a single Hotel has been reported as chica-friendly.
Any know of any Chica-friendly hotels in Medelling?
Please provide the hotel's website if possible too.
The upscale hotel that seems best per my stays in Medellin is the Holiday Inn Express in Poblado. They do the ID thing (all better hotels that i know do) and have never charged me for "guests". They said that there would be a charge but never did. It usually is about $75 a night for a suite, great bed, etc.
Pabaldo Fully furnished unit is running a special this week, 3 bedroom unit is just $500 USD for a full week. 3 guys can share and pay just $166 for the entire week. The unit has WI-FI, Intenet, Security, Maid, Taxi, Kitchen, home delivery, DISH etc.

I checked for this Friday, sat, Sun, price is $77 at Holiday Inn, $81 at Novelty + taxes, both good w/chicas. The price at Holiday Inn had gone up, paid $75 when $ was about 2100 per dollar. Booking 2 weeks in advance helps, you can always cancel if at least 24 hours in advance of arrival unless booking through travelocity, orbitz or expedia. I also have had no problem with penalties if I leave early.

Returned a week ago from my second time in Medellin and stayed here in my 2 brief stays in the city (broken up by trips to other cities). I selected this hotel in part due to what I read here. Overall thumbs up, spacious clean rooms, safe, fridge with minibar - besides food and drink, 2 condoms in case you run out, a nice touch. Also comfortable clean bed, wireless in most rooms (just ask), gym, pool and sauna, 108K COP, no guest charges. The doorman gave me a big smile, thumbs up and a wink after I escorted two different lovelies from my room on different days.
The location is not considered very safe but there are always taxis right in front and a short ride to wherever you need to go. Really the only negative is the noise, even on the 8th floor the combined street and A/C noise was bothersome to me until late at night - the rooms lacking carpet I think magnifies the effect.
Contrast with Hotel Florida in Laureles where I spend my final night on my first trip in Laureles back in February - smaller (too small) rooms, very slow wireless, additional guest charge of I think 30K COP, and about 20K more per night than Nutibara even without the guest fee (granted different area so kind of apples vs. oranges but FWIW...)

I recently went to Medellin and stayed in the Holiday Day Inn Express Medellin in Pablado. I remember reading another thread here where they were clean and didn't mind girls coming back to the room.
The rooms are clean, but I think they'd had enough of us 'mongers'. If you don't book a guest on checkin (which costs $20 / night to start with), they will charge you 100, 000 pesos plus 10, 000 tax. An extra $60 USD to bring back a chica? I tried to argue, they will not budge. I hope they go out of business.
If you do have to stay at a hotel, ask about this fee upfront as they will not tell you. If they have a big fee, just walk over to another hotel. There are plenty of them and they all have rooms available. I even talked to a guy who negotiated a cheaper rate than I was paying just by walking up and saying he'd take his business somewhere else. Actually, I recommend the mansion or an apartment rather than a hotel because of all the hidden charges.
You have been warned.

As a top tier member of the the hotel, it's very rare to be charged anything additional for a guest. Of course, if I was unsure if they would charge a fee, I would clear it up with a manager first.
I actually looked at staying at this property when I was in town in June. However, with the discounts I get, it was often more expensive than the IC. Plus I get free minibar and room upgrade, so it wasn't a very hard decision to make.
I originally post this in the room thread but whatever here u go..
First American Medellin Reality great company customer service was beyond reproach. I recommend them for mature sensable persons.
They were very accomadating and saved my group at the last minute. They helped save our trip and facilitated acclimation to life in MDE Colombia. Of course the places are chica friendly, but be sensable.

I don't think any of the hostels are chica friendly. They might tolerate it up to a certain point but not if you bring a street rat in 3x a day! These hostels cater to the budget non-monger.
Has anyone used this service? They have nice apts but before I rent from them I wanted to see if any mongers had any bad experiences with these guys.

Hi,
Forgive the silly question, but is the Mansion closed? It seems so but I still read recent reports where people stay and party there. If the Mansion is closed in the form it was previoulsy known for, what is the next best thing to it? Thanks. I don't speak Spanish so the idea of having my hand held for a day or two is MDE appeals to me. Thanks.
Best,
DD

The building also has a pool.
There is an lcd t. V. In the master and in the living room, and the other two bedrooms have normal t. V. S
There are room safes.
I am asking 110 dollars per night, but for a week, it is 660 dollars.
Two weeks is 1200 dollars.
Thre guys, basically 33 dollars per night each.

Sebastian, the night guy is awesome. He recently joined the staff. Speaks excellent english. He is there any time you need him including supplying emergency condoms.
He saw me with Scarlett from Girlfriend for a week and he suggested another girl who is a local student and does this "part time". Her name is Juliana, 21, cute, very fair, sweet disposition and is OK with DFK and BBBJ. She stayed for two hours for 200,000. The second session was a lot of hard work and she earned it.
She was better looking than most of the mansion girls and she came late at night and performed well. The price was worth it for me.

Hi guys,
whenever people enter my apartment, their jaw typically drops when they see the views you have from literally any room and window. So I took my camera and captured a panorama snapshot of the views.
Here it is:
[url=http://vacationrentalsmedellin.com/images/Views.jpg][img]http://internationalsexguide.info/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=141895&stc=1[/img][/url] (Click on the picture for a higher resolution version.)
If you want to enjoy these views during your vacation, check out my website at

For the photo enthusiasts among you: The picture actually consists of 8 different pictures stitched together by Photoshop. The full resolution photo has 15,000 x 5,000 pixel and consumes a whopping 1.5 GB on my harddrive!
Hi everyone I recently finished two new apartments, one I renovated totally and the other I bought the apartment from the owner of the Dollhouse. He is getting together capital to change the dollhouse over to a disco. Say what you will but that guy can decorate and is still very successful in the states.
We have Guadalajara which is on the golden mile really close to san fernando casino, it's a 3 bedroom loft. Pool Table, Bar, 50 inch LCD, Blu-rays. Windows are from floor to ceiling and slide open.
The other is Casa Loma, it will go through renovations to make it into a 5 bedroom. Most colombian buildings do not allow for work from Dec 15 - jan. 15th. It's still a 3 bedroom right now. It's the biggest apartment on the rental market at close to 3400 sqft. It has a jacuzzi in the middle of the master, a steam room, fish tank and it will make a impression on your guests thats for sure. More information at our website [url]www.pobladorentals.com[/url]
ISG members helping ISG members is always a great Bet!!

Hi guys,
Added new mattresses today to make the beds more comfi. Don't worry price is still the same. My reward is making you guys happy.
Finally got read of those pesty roaches. What a contracted fumigator could not accomplish my nice neighbor Gabriela did. I thought she was joking when she said she didn't have roaches, but I soon believed in the "miracle" when I started using "Jotanovo", main ingredient being "deltametrina". Before when I would call a fumigator the vermins seemed to multiply, but after applying "jotanovo / deltametrina" they dissappeared. Whatever it is, is short of miraculous as I was beginning to think it was an impossiple task in Itagui.
That goes to show nothing is impossible. Who would think my little neighbor had the answer all along. Sometimes the solution to a problem is right in front of your nose, and proffessionals don't always have the answer. Don't forget to go to.

Where can I find jotanovo? I need to buy some and bring them to the states. I have not seen roaches at your apartment anyway.

I'm visiting Medellin Jan 20 to the 26th with my friend. Considering an apartment. Wi-Fi is a must. Would consider hotels also if they allow us to bring friends over. We are looking for a trendy safe part of the city where we can walk about in the evening, meet girls, or just sit at a cafe and have a drink as we watch the Medellin nightlife. Any suggestions are appreciated. Casa scene and non casa scene is cool. It doesn't matter. Safety first.

I'm pretty sure all his rental properties are in the south which is where you want to be. Just remember 2 detrimental things that you are looking for and you will be fine. #1 Poblado which is where you want to stay (tesoro, patio bonito, oviedo, las palmas, ALL fine, just think the south of Medellin. And #2 Parque Lleras which is exactly the Night Life of what you are looking for to the tee! There will be 1000's of gringos wandering about this area to conjugate with.

My review:....
[/QUOTE]
What is the name of this rental company?
I just stayed there over Christmas, and it's very nice. It is a legit 2 bedroom place, so if price is a concern bring a buddy and split the cost. Or if price is not a concern just rent it for yourself, it's roughly $750 a week. It is up 3 or 4 flights of stairs, but it was no problem for me or the women. There is a nice veranda or what ever you want to call it, outside, overlooking the street action and with a long view all the way to the hills. Of course it's located just above Parque Lleras on Calle 10 and Avenida 37. If it fits your budget you won't find a better place. By the way, Calle 10 may be underappreciated. Right next to this building, on Calle 10, is a computer-internet business, so if you don't bring a computer you can check your email etc. Also, on Calle 10 less than a block down is an ATM. On the other side of Calle 10, the Desayunadero 10, or something similar, is very good for breakfast. On the near side of Calle 10, about a block down, is a combo liquor-eating joint, with good local style meals at good prices. Crossing Calle 10 going away from Lleras, on each side street there are little hidden restaurants, sushi, Mexican, Middle Eastern. On Calle 10 just a couple of blocks down you have Mondongos, which is really not to be missed. You can also walk down to Ave Poblado, go to Cheers next to Parque Presidencial. Or across Ave. Poblado, several nice spots over there. Or you could go to any of the 100 restaurants and bars in Lleras.

I stayed at Barry's places from Poblado Rentals 2 weeks ago, and of all the places I have stayed in Medellin, I can say that it was by far the best!
My friend and I usually stay at a friends condo, but it was being rented out. So our friend arranged for us to stay at another place near San Diego. When we got there, it was a very small cramped apt, with cot style mattresses. And they wanted $90 a night for it. I fortunately had Ruben's (Property Manager) phone number and was able to call him from this original apt.
Thankfully he answered and had an opening at the Penthouse Guadalajara for 3 nights and then Penthouse Sotoverde 601 the remainder of the trip for a total of 8 nights. These places were big and nice. The bedrooms had nice King and Queen size mattresses, which is rare from the other apts, I have stayed at. Also each bedroom had a ceiling fan, which I loved because I sleep with one everynight. The Bathrooms were great, each shower had enough room for 2 people at least. Each Penthouse had nice couches in the living rooms, not cheap lightweight furniture like I have noticed in other places I have stayed at. It was also convenient to use the washer and dryer at both places.
Location wise, both were a 3-4 block walk to Parque Lleras, and not difficult to find or have your taxi drop you off at.
Ruben was great, very nice. He would call us once awhile to see how everything was, but if we needed him, he was right there for us. Which was nice!
I also had him introduce me to one of the girls that he knows. The one he introduced me to was gorgeous and thin, just how I like. However she didn't really like more than 7 minutes of action, which was disappointing because she is so very beautiful.
I would highly recommend staying at any of these properties. With the ISG 10% discount and what you pay, compared to what some people are trying to get, there is no question as to the value of staying here, also if you have 3 or 4 staying with you, your price goes down.
Both of these places are 1st class!
Just be mindful of the neighbors because these are nice places, and have a great time!

These two beds have cot style mattresses? Ok everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Thank god for Photo's. If it's a little small the bedroom it's 1)because your real space is this 500 Sqft deck. 2)Your location is a block from the middle of the Parque.

This apartment was being rented out by our friends's friend, not Barry. Poblado Rentals' mattresses were King and Queen size and were very nice and sturdy. I hope that clears things up.

Thanks again
When I stayed there I occupied the 2nd (interior) br, which to me was sufficiently spacious, with a flat-screen tv also (sorry Barry I left the porno DVD in the DVD player, I hope the next occupant was not traumatized). I picked this interior br thinking it would be quieter. It was very quiet, and comfy. The master br is in all likelihood very quiet as well, my buddy slept there till 11 am, so it works pretty well. To get to the point, both bedrooms are really nice, you will like this place, no doubt.
It's a little off subject, but each morning I would wander down to the coffee shop, Juan Valdez, and forgetting my waistline, I would order some type of super mocha, very delicious. It was in that coffee shop that my most dangerous moment arrived, disguised, of course. This dude was sitting near me, with a computer, at 930 in the morning or so, and he told me that he was really into gold, with mines both in Colombia and South Africa (and perhaps other places). He told me that he didn't mind sharing the wealth, he could promise 5% per month, with no risk. I thought, man, that's better than Bernie Madhoff!
I need a place for a month how much is this w / deal long term stay thanks.

[QUOTE=Shogun420; 1121309]I stayed at Barry's places from Poblado Rentals 2 weeks ago, and of all the places I have stayed in Medellin, I can say that it was by far the best!
My friend and I usually stay at a friends condo, but it was being rented out. So our friend arranged for us to stay at another place near San Diego. When we got there, it was a very small cramped apt, with cot style mattresses. And they wanted $90 a night for it. I fortunately had Ruben's (Property Manager) phone number and was able to call him from this original apt.
These two beds have cot style mattresses? Ok everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Thank god for Photo's. If it's a little small the bedroom it's 1) because your real space is this 500 Sqft deck. 2) Your location is a block from the middle of the Parque. [/QUOTE]

Just don't tell Barry he decorates like a pro from "queer eye for the straight guy" I don't want him "switching teams"
Guys help me out here. Planning a trip to Medellin first time. Has anyone rented from.

Are the the units girl friendly? I'm thinking of Parque Lleras #1504, Oviedo Mall #1806 or El Tesoro #602. Need nicely decorated 1 bed with minimal chica hassles from security or administarors.
Would welcome any comments from those in the know. I will be staying at CB 1 mansion my first week to get my bearings. My Spanish is passable. Thanks All
I stayed in two of Barry's apartments for the last two weeks. Soto Verde and Guadalajara. It cost me the same as the Mansion and less than a "good" hotel I. E. Royal Medellin, Intercontinental, Poblado Plaza. His apartments are amazing. Awesome service from his people that are there and he follows up on everything. I can't recommend his places enough. If you have any questions please I. M. Me. I have already booked again for May.

Fair warning to those considering staying in the 23rd story apartment offered at [url]http://vacationrentalsmedellin.com[/url]
While renting a single room in the apartment, and being the only guest occupying the apartment, I was robbed of my cell phone, passport, and every last dollar in cash. The door to my "private" room was locked, the door to the apartment was locked, and the items that were stolen were locked inside of a large suitcase inside of my locked so-called "private" room. The theives obviously had access to both the apartment and the room that I was renting as there was no forced entry and proceeded to break the lock on my suitcase in order to go through the belongings inside. By the way, the electronic safes that were offered for use in the apartment were not secured to anything. I. E. If you put your cash in the safe, someone could just pick up the locked safe and walk away with it!
Police investigators called to the scene concluded the obvious. That it was an inside job with the proprietor of the rental the primary suspect to be involved in this robbery. I was away from the apartment for about two hours when the items were stolen and as far as I know, the security guards at the entrance of the building were the only people aware that I was away from the apartment. Who knows, they may have been in on informing that I was away.
The same proprietor of this apartment rental (a German guy named Robert) also runs Girlfriind4aweek escorts, so I would also use extreme caution and reserve should you be considering using this service or anything else that this person is involved in.
I paid a HUGE price for letting my guard down and allowng myself to believe that I was in a fairly secure environment (I. E. Security guarded building in the best part of Medellin, my own keys to the apartment and "private" room I had rented) and allowing myself to believe that the proprietor I was dealing with had some reasonable amount of trustworthiness. Don't make the same mistake I did! Dealing with this operation cost me thousands in cash, not to mention, having to fly to Bogota (no US embassy in Medellin) to get an emergency replacement passport so that I could leave the country and basically ruined my trip to Medellin. BEWARE!

I am planning a trip in June for 2 weeks. I am looking for a one bedroom apt or hotel within walking distance of the best casas or discos. Any suggestions friends?
There is a casa called Energy in Laureles, you might consider staying in that area, near La Setenta. You can take a bus or cab from there to El Centro if you want to visit the numerous casas en El Centro. Laureles is generally safer and nicer.

Hi,
I am coming to Medellin late April to early May. Is there not more info on good hotels? After searching for hours and hours all I have managed to find is info about Casa Medellin (or Medellion Mansion).
I am sure they offer a great service but at about $100 / night they are NOT cheap.
Fellow mongers. Are there no other decent options in Medellin which are:
* close to the mongering places.
* safe and secure.
* provide local info and all the other things we need to make a memorable trip.
Appreciate the assistance in advance and I hope I can share some reports with the forum upon my return
Anyone know if the Charlee is chica friendly and hows the neighborhood?

Hi guys,
I am looking to book a hotel / appartment for $75. 80 / night that wouldn't cause hassle when bringing back a girl.
Has anyone booked with theapartment before? (website: [url]http://www.theapartmentmedellin.com/TheApartments.html[/url]) Are they safe? This might be my first trip if I can book an appartment close to all the action and clubs.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if this place is chica friendly?
They will permit it, but really it is uncomfortable. You should probably choose to take your girl to a love hotel or stay somewhere else.

Of course if you do this 10 nights in a row with a different girl they will catch on for sure. BEst bet is to get a good girl to come to your room early in the night like 8 ish, maybe a girl who works in one of the casas by day. Just a thought.
Same dilema. Coming in with group of five guys from South Florida and all first time. Have plenty of friends here giving advice but all have not been down in almost a year.
Hotel or Rental Apt? Safety, women in the room and good times are priority!
Suggestions? Also have quote from Greg at [url]http://www.medellinrentalsonline.net/about[/url]. Anybody rent from him before? Can we bring girls back to those penthouses?
Thanks is Advance!
Casa Blanca 1 or 2 is a good choice, there is good safety, plenty of women and good times. If you want an apt, I recommend bbrocs (user name. You can find his posts in this apt section) , based on my personal experience.

[/QUOTE]I'd defineately stay at anyone of [url]www.pobladorentals.com[/url] As all his apartments are 4star experience, the Mansion in my opinion is a 3 star rating for the facilities, yet some of the activities and entertainment for some increase the star rating,"My place" run by Frank casio gets a 2 star rating, but some guys love it cause you get alot of bang for the buck. {pun intended} You can get rooms in hotels from around $20. 00 a nite to over $100. 00 a nite, and every where in between, If it comes down to a choice of getting an Apt from poblado rentals or Medellin rentals on line, I'd go with poblado rentals cause they have washers and dryers in all there units, Medellin rentals on line does not. Poblado rentals has only top floor apts and flat screen TVs in every room. I don't think Medellin rentals on line even has 5 bdrms, Bbroc does and both of his have have jaccuzis! If I was going down with a group of 3, 4, or 5 guys Poblado rentals would be my only choice. If I was running solo I'd rent from Medellin rentals on line as he does have some one and two bedroom apts, Hope that helps

They only have monthly. I have a place off of ave. Poblado and their is a gym a good 7 blocks behind the building that does daily for about 12USD. It's a 3 bedroom. It's centrally located on foot you can walk the path behind Dan Carlton and be in Parque in about 10 minutes on foot. It's not on a hilly street like a lot of Poblado. If your interested contact me.

Dear fellow mongers,
I will be visiting Medellin in the first week of August but I still have no accomodation yet. I know, every newby to town is best advised to stay at the Medellinmansion but I was put off by some statments on their homepage: no smoking in the room and a lady-charge for overnight guests. That's too much for me and so I was looking the last days for an apartment close to parque lleras to rent (for 4 nights only). Medellinrentalsonline are booked out and most of the other agencies I found / contacted did not respond.
So I am depending on your help guys. Do you have any suggestion whom I can contact for apartment rental. My price limit for a night is somewhere at 120 USD.
Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody,
I have read many post about renting appartements in MDE and analyse the last post of Frank Casio and visit each websites.
I'm really surprise by high prices?
First I'm french, so sorry for my basic english.
Minimum revenue in Colombia is 143 US $ (in France 800) , and I'm really surprise to see basic studio for 60/80 $ US the night!
This is same prices or cheaper than many touristics cities in France. Deauville, Cannes, Biarritz. Or in Spain : Barcelone, Madrid.
Or if I must compare in a same continent, this is cheaper than what I have pay for renting in Rio front to ocean!
So. I really don't understand.
Hello all,
Anyone have any opinion on The Charlee Hotel? Is it chica friendly?
I'm looking in the $150-$200 range. Is there a better option in hotels (location, scene, etc?
Thanks in advance
HOTEL TORRE POBLADO.
Cra 42 No. 9-28.
Tel: (57 4) 268-0244.
[url]www.torrepoblado.com[/url]
For variety of reasons, I decided to stay at this hotel this trip. This is an apartment suite hotel. May be about three stars in quality. The staffs are super nice, the location is absolutely perfect and price was affordable. Free WIFI and electronic safe in the room.
From Oviedo Mall, going north on Avenida Poblado, make right on Calle 9 and make first left on Cra 42. Hotel is right there on your right. Parque Lleras is two blocks walk on Calle 9; Oviedo Mall is a leisurely 15 minute walk (which I was doing everyday) , metro station Poblado is less than 10 min walk (gateway to Centro casas spending about 4K roundtrip fare).
This was high season. I paid 142K COP per night including daily breakfast and all taxes. Low season prices could be much lower, may be 100K. However, this price is for one person. If someone stays with you overnight, they charge extra 30K. I already formed a fantastic rapport with the staff. My natural tendency is to tip the hotel staff throughout my stay. I was having girls for TLN almost every night. They looked the other way and never charged me any extra.
You can ask for the hotel to pick you up from the airport. The charge is 54K. Julio Cesar is a great driver and person. He could show you around all the hot spots in MDE for minimal charge. I did not need his service, since I am quite familiar with MDE and quite comfortable in going everywhere on my own. For a newbie, he could be of great help.
[b]DO NOT[/b] Take a room facing Calle 9. You won't be able to sleep, especially in the weekends when the Discos play their music in full tilt all night. Try to get rooms. 603/703/803/903. Very quite rooms and spacious. Has a nice private balcony where you can relax or bend over your sweetheart for hot actions. I really liked my apartment. Only thing is that you have a shower stall, no bathtub or Jacuzzi. I saw one room with bathtub. It was on a split level and very small. I did not like. All the chicas loved my apartment and that's the bottom line.
The breakfast is served on the 10th floor. 7 AM – 10 AM. Juice, toast, eggs, fruits, coffee. Egg could be substituted with Arepas, favorite Colombian food. I never missed breakfast, for one reason only: the spectacular view of Medellin from the restaurant. The breakfast never tasted so good.
Hotel is pretty relaxed about girls. I was having 2-3 girls at a time most of the day. They never checked their I. D.
I have nothing but good things to say about this hotel. Many of the staff members became my friend. The reception girl already promised me a novia when I return to MDE again.

Bandy[/QUOTE]Mr. Bandy I respect your posting history so I hope you don't take offense to my one comment.
You are giving great advice on how to avoid the silly extra charge the hotel imposes on having guests. The thing that bothers me is you making the name of the hotel public. On the slim chance that the owners of the hotel read these boards then you are putting those employees at risk.
That tipping of hotel staff should be second nature to any monger, but is good for the newbees to absorb.
Please keep up the great posts in the future.
Thanks to Tom Tom 33 I use Hotel Florida, Just nice Hotel.

This studio was carved out of a one bedroom. It's inside a hotel but privately owned by me. It has 2 AC units, terrace, king bed, hot tub. 50 inch Plasma, new kitchen, redone bathroom, wifi, safe, Ipod dock, and a washer dryer combo. Prices are set at 70 / night, $450 / week

I've been searching around on the web for a furnished apt. In Poblado Medellin area. About 6 months for starters, then see how it goes from there. I have a few Q's to ask you gentlemen.
1. What is your opinion on the "high season"? I guess it makes sense for short-term if the hotels are booked solid during those months, but I think it is kind of a rip-off if you are renting longer-term.
2. I see several rental agency sites advertising the same exact apartment, for slightly different prices! What is up with this?
3. Should I just spend a week there visiting agencies, sometimes 2 agencies for the same apt?
4. Anyone had any luck looking on bulletin boards at the local supermarkets? I scored a great apt. In Costa Rica this way. Most ads I saw in the newspaper were rented out the day the ad came out in the newspaper. Spent too much time calling, driving all over San Jose.
5. Would it be a good idea to go into the lobby of a condo complex and see if there are any advertisements there?
6. Any other advice on how to negotiate is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help, I have never been to Medellin, but it looks like I will be spending 6 months to a year there, and would like some intel on how things operate there.
OD if it was me I rent a cheap place for two weeks see how I liked living there. When I realized it was for me I'd grab the free paper thumb through to the rentals and go see a couple of places. There are plenty of great apartments listed not sure if they would allow for only 6 months though. Laurelas could be easily had for 1 million 1. 1 million a month. Probably furnished. High season low season means nothing on a six month lease. You shouldn't be looking online agencies prices are higher because they need to be paid a cut for locating clients to owners. Prices are off because people don't update prices sometimes, or owner is making you pay cut up front. This is all common sense stuff here.
Check craigslist as well, but you will find what your looking for in free paper take a Colombian driver with you for help finding places to look at.

Reading the threads I figured that this agency is pricey but reputable and providing a good service. I even remember Barry (screenname bbroc) was offering a 10% discount to ISG-members.
My experience with them so far. They answered fast to my Inquiries and offered to send me a quote after selecting an apartment. To my big surprise I got a quote higher than what is mentioned on their homepage. So let us open the discussion, if ISG-members get a surcharge instead of a discount.
An other question I would like to have feedback is question 26 from their FAQ page:
26. Can I bring guests back to the apartment?
Once you have arrived at your apartment, it is literally your home away from home. Guests may visit you in the apartment as many times as you like, whenever you like without additional cost, however any person staying more than one night will be required to pay.
So are they girl friendly – in my opinion a main reason to choose an apartment instead of hotel. So do they really charge? Do they charge for staying with your novia several nights, but for having another prepago every night its free?
So please give your experiences / thoughts.
Just wanted to be clear the 10% discount from me is over, that was placed over 15 months ago. Since you can't erase anything here I can't just take that down. All the best to you all this thanksgiving.

this is not an email address so i should be ok. if i am staying on calle 10, anywhere, i want to be off the street to reduce noise. one review says it's near the metro, which would put it downhill from avenida poblado (43a). that's ok, just something you'd want to know, if you want to be within easy walking distance from parque lleras, it's better to be uphill from 43a. but it would work for me. also, something i have seen and wanted to ask, i have heard there are several very nice restaurants just off calle 10 downhill from avenida poblado. can someone tell me what the names of these several restaurants are? and maybe throw me another bone and tell me exactly where they are? thanks.

You just show the hotel the key say at most the apt. number and up you go. No signing in here. But everything is under security camera for yours and our safety. The apartment is on the second floor. January we are adding inner windows to help with noise. The price will not go up, it's not all that expensive and I am a fair man. You can book up to six months here in advance for the studio or apartment 1. I don't wish to hold anyone's money more then this far in advance. Prices go up only during flower festival, Christmas and New Years. When not rented we rent short term for 70,000 pesos for 6 hour period. Booking is 50% down via paypal balance plus 150 security on check in.
Thank Siam very much

I just sent down the webber Q BBQ, to be installed out on the deck. When I stayed there I said this place needs double windows and a grill. So I'm on it. You have no issues running hot tub at any hour no one is below you except the hotel landing. Enjoy. I'll say this once here about CB, no matter how good anything is in life, going to the same place every single time kind of blows. Everyone eventually graduates and moves on. You have favorite group of guys take over my 5 bedroom for a few nights. It's surely not animal house nor will I allow it, but the freedom, comfort and price, and I'll win you over.

Hotel Alemeda.
Calle 10 No 42 F 18
[url]http://www.hotelalamedadela10.com/website/[/url]
It is on 10 directly across the street from Exito in Poblado. So shopping and food court is right there. They also have a nice little restaurant and offer room service. Clean, safe, and I would give it two thumbs up. Because it's on 10 it could get lound in the AM. Ask for an upper floor and this lessens the problem or ask to be in the back of the building. I believe rooms 1 & 2 are the ones facing the street. EX 501 & 502 ect.
Rooms have a safe, mini fridge, AC, nice beds. All you could ask for a hotel. $140 K a night (less than a hundo is always good IMO)
5 min ride to Lleres or 10ish to Centro. 5 min walk to Metro Poblado. Yeah it's a good spot.
Chicas. No issue. The Door guy walk the girl up to your room or you can come down. Two hours not a problem or if you know Spanish tell them that you and your amiga are going to watch a movie and that she IS NOT staying the night and there should be no issue with the Guest Fee which we all hate.
Message me if you want more info but I think that should cover it. Clean safe nice, no chica fee if under two hours or just tell dude if you're spanish is good that she's not staying.
Stayed in 2 hotels that I would recommend.
First was Poblado Plaza. This was a really nice hotel with a good (albeit 10-15 min walk from Parque Lleras) location on Carrera 43A opposite Hard Rock and next to CC Oviedo mall. It has v good rates at weekends (COP 110, 000 + I think 20, 000 in various taxes). It is meant to be 5 star but I would call it a good 4 star in Europe or USA. Anyway for that rate it is very good value at weekends but prices go up during the week so I moved. Not sure how chica friendly it would be as quite smart but no difference in price between single and double occupancy when I booked the room online so not sure how they could object. If you are visiting a girl that you already know then this would be a nice place to stay if checking in together.
Second was Torre Poblado which has been described here before. I would just endorse that whilst not on the same level as Poblado Plaza the rooms are good. I have a mini apartment with sitting room, kitchen and loo on one floor and spiral staircase leading to a bedroom, big bathroom and huge walk in wardrobe. Good safe (big enough for laptop) and best cable TV variety I have seen in last 10 weeks in South America). All for 110, 000 plus taxes again. This place is chica friendly and when you book online you get choice of single or double occupancy so either book for 2 people or if like me you are only occasionally intending to bring a girl back then save the see. 30, 000 a night and pay as and when needed.
Would recommend both places (friendly staff in both) and would stay again if back in town.
20 plus trips to SJO and decided MDE was needed for a break this summer.
Who can tell me the chica friendly hotels in poblado. Are they all. Are none of them. Going to stay a few nights at CB but we like nice accomodations with room service etc.
What is the best hotel in the Central area that is girl friendly? I want to hit the strip clubs there and would like to bring someone back for TLN.
I am managing a new property a 4 bedroom house in Laureles that is across from Exito. This is the perfect spot for a bachelor party or, complete privacy because it's a house on the corner with bar as its neighbor, yet the bar closes at 10pm so it's not going to be loud for you to sleep at night. It's safe as well double entrance door, to protect you, plus camera on exito looks directly at the street. Other plus's are its a small walk to 33, there is plenty of bank atm's in exito, where you can get food and liquor. There is a cab stand across street and a bus that runs right to metro. Make up is 1 king. 1 queen. 1 double and 1 double futon, that is actually a comfortable futon to sleep on, not the cheap college kind I had in my apartment. Wifi, telemax cable, BBQ, a enclosed terrace, flat screens. Price for 4 guys staying is 140 / night price for 3 guys is 130 / night. 2 guys is 125, no break for 1 person other then 125, 1 person doesn't need a 4 bedroom.

No more of this "I need 20k for a cab". You forgot to mention the nice little park across the other street, theres a view from 2 of the bedrooms, Two rather huge pluses for me, are everything in Laureles is less expensive, and If you enjoy walking everything is flat. I bet there is even cool video of the place [url]www.pobladorentals.com[/url]

Hey guys!
Does anybody know what happened to the Medellin Executive Hotel? I heard it has been sold and will be rebuilt but the website is down and due to me roaming in South East Asia for the last years I have completely lost track on the former owner J. G. Can anyone provide me with valid information on that please?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks![/QUOTE]I checked out that Prado 61 B&B and found it quite expensive. They were unwilling to negotiate for longer term discount. Also the place smelled like a musty cellar. The area around the Prado Metro stop is extremely dangerous after dark. In fact deadly. You would be much safer around the Berrio / Botero areas. Literally hundreds of acceptable hotels in the 20K to 30K range.
Highly reccommend Hotel Premier Carrera 52 between the Botero Museum and Vera Cruz Church. 25K a night. Excellent trolling in the hood for between 10K and 20K. They are out 24/7s so you don't need to wait for the Casa girls to get off. In fact I've run across a few Casa girls working in the hood.

At night they will sock you in the 50k range for bringing a girl back unless you pay 20-30k extra per night for double occupancy. It's usually best to save the hassle and go for double occupancy.

Anyone knows a cheap hotel there? I am interested in one right smack down in the center of town. I think there is a park there called Parque Plaza de Bolivar. I've been to Santa Fe a few times but stayed outside of town in the past. Thanks.
Cheers.
Anyone stayed there? Also, wondering if companion friendly hotels can be difficult to find?

I hope this may help mongers looking for inexpensive lodging options.
1) KONG Hotel or Hotel KONG. Cra. 43 #55-41. 444-5691 hotelkong@hotmail.com
16K for 3 hours (short time pricing for couple) 35K Single Room per night (not sure if they would charge for bringing a girl in)
Very private, love motel styled entrance has one way glass or enter through garage. I was not able to see an actual room and website doesn't work. (hotelkong. Com. Co) No wifi in the rooms but available in the tiny reception area. One block walk from many casas including Coffee Shop.
2) Concept Hotel. Cra. 45 #56-28. 291-0764 they didn't a business card nor brochure!
I found this YouTube clip though. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy1tL0rCKlo[/url]
I saw the room with the forest theme. Nice, modern design. Flat Screen TVs, stereo system, mini-bar. I was very impressed. It is right across the street from Belle Suite aka Andrea Cra. 45 #56-45.
The bad news is there is no internet access inside the building and they don't rent by the night. Pricing is for amanecida (?) overnight stay (from 7pm until 12noon the next day) A room with simple shower is 24K COP. Theme rooms with a tub is 30K COP and 38K COP if you want to use the Jacuzzi.
Went back to look at a room today (Thursday). Rooms are not as nice as Concept but they rent by the night instead of just overnight (7pm until Noon) There won't be much to do here at night though. I imagine it would be very quiet, hopefully there will be a restaurant nearby to grab dinner.
Since the rooms were dimly lit, my cellphone pics did not come out very well. My issues would be internet not available except in the reception area. There is no chair or desk in the rooms. Shower is separate from the toilet & sink. 35K COP / night is still very tempting. Might be worth a try on my next trip.
They have a Facebook page. [url]http://www.facebook.com/hotel.kong[/url]
Hi we had to switch out 3 headache properties. We now have a new house in poblado that has only one neighbor near by so there will be no issues with girls, small get togethers, or normal played music no issues. It is right off avenida poblado. We now have the Laureles house with no neighbors, this new place with only 1 neighbor and since I own the building there is no issues. Plus our new concept the mini finca finishing up at end of the month. We are getting out of porter buildings, with elevators and neighbors that scowl at you. Its my opinion there is no surviving in these buildings for more then two years. Someone will upset them and they will use the new laws to get rid of you. We also have two studios side by side in Parque lleras the new one has sound proofed windows and the view is of the park over divino cielo.
Some photos of the new house.

We are now done with our new studio. It sits next to our other studio inside Hotel Lleras. I own almost the 2nd floor now and hope to one day own the entire second floor. Its a $65 / night sound proof studio, knocking noise down 80 percent. Has AC, but no hot tub, sound proofing
Costs more then a 2 man hot tub which I didn't know till this project. The apartment has Wifi, balcony, full washer dryer, flat screen, kitchen. Two people can rent both studios side by side. There is no need to sign in your guests or any other bullshit.
Then:
3 Bedroom house in Viscaya, price is by person. There are only two other houses up the hill. There is no issue with signing anyone in. This apartment has a remote control gate, we give you the control. This places is two minute cab ride down hill to Lleras. It has a huge Veranda balcony to hang on. This apartment is great but we working on making it better. Adding a 3rd bathroom and a bar and some new closets still and who knows what else since we plan on being here for a long time.
made my return to medellin and the mansion, now called the hotel medellin plaza, after 2 years away and i must say i had a great time. the staff took very good care of me during my 10-day september visit and i enjoyed the new downstairs bar, especially the lazy sundays with nfl ticket. they even made us free hot dogs! and the girls were incredible. i like the flacas and i was not disappointed. on my last trip i had gone on several daytime casa runs but this time i found the talent level of the "mansion girls" so much to my liking i was scheduling them to come visit me for a late morning or early afternoon session almost every day. i recognized about 4 girls from my june 2010 trip. the hotel itself could use a little work on the outside as i noticed a few cracks along the roofline. but the inside was fine. i started my stay in "the dungeon" room #9 for several days. it is small and dark but it is cozy and has a couple of large mirrors that give the illusion of more space. the bathroom is quite small and might be a problem if you are extremely large. but since i am not it is a great value at about $59 with breakfast and more than adequate. i then moved up to room #6 which seemed huge by comparison. king bed, floor to ceiling mirror, large bath with jacuzzi, couch, many windows with lots of light and my own pc with wired high speed internet. it is a great place for entertaining and it is the only room with a balcony, which is really convenient if you or your chica smokes. i don't, but i turned that balcony into my own private photo studio. at about $89 it was worth the extra. felt like i had a giant suite. i enjoyed myself so much and made so many new friends i will be heading back for a week at christmas. and in the future it looks like i will be splitting my time between the beach at sosua, dr and here. in fact i just returned from 13 days in the dr at blackbeards and sosua. if anyone wants any current info on either just shoot me a pm.
Casa Blanca.
I stayed at CB, twice on this trip. My first time staying at CB II though I stayed at CB I before. I must say that I really like II. I like that it is mellow and quite. The staff at both locations are fantastic but I must say that I am really impressed with them at CB II this time. They accommodated all my requests with a smile. I had to leave town and left my luggage there with no problem. Alex even helped me out when I had to call her back on her private cell after she left work. That is fantastic service and they do it without making you feel like they are doing you a favor.
Ironically, I did not have a chance to go their bar in CB I or hangout with the english students. I saw one cute one walk in around 3 PM while I was chatting with Greg but I was running late to pick up my amiga so I had no time to chat with her. My conclusion is that CB II is a nice place to stay even if you are an independent traveller like me and you don't have to stay there just for Chicas or to hang out with other mongers.
More later on other places I stayed at.
I stayed in the penthouse that Poblado rentals offers in Parque Illeras. It is a 4th floor unit adjacent to hotel Charlie. It has two bedrooms, living room and a huge terrace with grill. There is no elevator and the steps are steep. But if you can't carry your bags up 4 floors, then you should stay home and not try to chase 19 yr old Paisas. You won't be able to keep up with them either.
The place is clean and has the old Medellin charm. Wi-Fi worked well but we had some trouble with being able to play the music on the radio and the ipod player. Manager tried to help but if there is one suggestion from my side, it would be to get a decent music system. BTW, my intention is not to be loud but I like good quality music (and everything else in life). I heard from the manager that some previous mongers caused some trouble being too loud!
I have some great memories now in this unit but I have to warn those of you who are light sleepers. The place is noisy. You are right in the middle of the Parque lleras entertainment district and the action is non-stop on the weekends and goes on till the wee hours on weekdays. The buses and trucks start early! Bring some ear plugs if you plan on partying at this location.
The location is the best for clubs, cafes and restaurants including those that are open nearly 24 hrs.
I stayed at this Poblado Rentals apt a while back, and I also have some fond memories. The location is super, the apartment is super. Because I am a light sleeper I chose the interior bedroom, rather than the obvious master. To me this is about as good a location as you can get, because you can go uphill on Calle 10 to get to a posh section of Poblado, above Parque Lleras, or you can go down Calle 10 to Mondongos or the Desayunadero, two nice, not too upscale, local restaurants. Also, the location is convenient to an internet computer access place, a grocery store and a money machine. And convenient to Juan Valdez coffee shop and all of Parque Lleras.

Curious if anyone has experience with "public" pay storage in Medellin for luggage / other small stuff? Does it exist, where, and any thought on the cost (s)?
I am familiar with porteros and private apartments "renting" some space in their storage but just wondered if anything similiar to public storage (by the month) exists in Medellin / with guards or supervision.
Thanks,
Muktar
I've been offered a rather nice flat (three bedrooms) in Envigado for 250 USD a week. On calle 48, around 8-9 km from Parque Lleras.
Could and should the rent be cheaper?
I could also rent a single bedroom with its own bathroom but would have to share the kitchen. Plus the uncertainty of the people that would or would not stay in the other bedrooms (doors do have locks on them).

You just have to factor in taking cabs everywhere. I don't know what your hobbying style is but if you don't mind being far from the action then give it a shot. Plus share the apartment details with us if it is successful.
[QUOTE=Combo;1393964]You need to stay at El Castillo on your next trip. Walking up that hill to the house everyday for a week would easily burn off about 10lbs![/QUOTE][B]I moved this from the MDE reports thread. I think it is more appropriate here. [/B]
I prefer El Castillo also but I would say that the experience of these two locations is totally different and one needs to be sure. Yes, I understand the joke about loosing 10lbs :-)
Personally, I would not recommend staying at El Castillo if you are new to MDE and the main reason you are staying at Mansion is to meet chicas and to meet / hang out with like minded gringos. El Castillo is quite and chicas do not go there for english language courses. There is no bar at El Castillo. Guys that voluntarily stay at El Castillo are mostly experienced mongers that like to keep a low profile and are less forthcoming with information. Last time I stayed there, one guy had a beauty with him. When I asked him who she is and where he found her, he would not tell me. He was not unfriendly or anything. Just indifferent. I thought that was a bit unusual. The next day I noticed that attitude is the norm. There were four guys eating breakfast without talking to each other. You won't see that at the main Plaza.
The guys that stay at the main plaza tend to be more extroverted, want to party, share info, take you on tours, teach you basic spanish, be willing to be your wing man etc.
The above is based on my personal experience and I have stayed at both locations several times. I love the staff at both locations and I think they are the best part of staying at the Plaza / El Castillo.
These days, when I am solo, I stay in apartments (Poblado rentals) and if I have a newbie friend with me, we stay at the mansion at least for a few days. I know it is counter intuitive.
Vit (Or anyone that knows) just had a few more questions. BTW thanks for being so informative. When I vacation I don't like too much hassle and issues however I do like to have a good time. Regarding Medellin Plaza. How does each location break down. I'll tell you this, when I went to Medellin & I visited Energy thats pretty much the type of women I'm looking for. They had a great selection to choose from. How does each location differ from Plaza locations. I really don't need a bar when I can buy I plethora yeah I said it! A plethora of liquor to keep in my room! I rather go to location that has the best selection. Whats the going rate at the plazaatovernight rate? I ask cause you mentioned you would be checking it out. I will say I'm like you I rather rent an apt in Poblado it just makes sense however this trip around I plan to be so caught up with women that the only thing that will save me is neosporin on my 2nd half (HEAD). I would love the scenario where I stay at a place where I wake up and can walk downstairs and pull a chick to come back to my room. Have lunch then visit a casa. Leave casa come back to my room and relax with some drinks and rest. Go out to a bar or club party it up. Grab a chica enjoy the night and let her spend the night. 3-4 a day (Chica) itinerary would be fantastic. So I ask is Plaza the place for me or should I go elsewhere. I will wait patiently as your apprentice. LOL! Hope all is well and your enjoying your trip. Have a trago on me! Cheers!

I would love the scenario where I stay at a place where I wake up and can walk downstairs and pull a chick to come back to my room. Have lunch then visit a casa. Leave casa come back to my room and relax with some drinks and rest. Go out to a bar or club party it up. Grab a chica enjoy the night and let her spend the night. 3-4 a day (Chica) itinerary would be fantastic. So I ask is Plaza the place for me or should I go elsewhere. I will wait patiently as your apprentice. LOL! Hope all is well and your enjoying your trip. Have a trago on me! Cheers![/QUOTE]Plaza is down the block from Castillo. If you stay at one, you can go to the other. Plaza is closest thing in Medellin to having girls on premises. That said. They are usually only there from around 2-6. And it is not a huge number. It is based on the number of guests.
[QUOTE=Vitrea; 1393976][B]I moved this from the MDE reports thread. I think it is more appropriate here. [/B]
I prefer El Castillo also but I would say that the experience of these two locations is totally different and one needs to be sure. Yes, I understand the joke about loosing 10lbs.
Personally, I would not recommend staying at El Castillo if you are new to MDE and the main reason you are staying at Mansion is to meet chicas and to meet / hang out with like minded gringos. El Castillo is quite and chicas do not go there for english language courses. There is no bar at El Castillo. Guys that voluntarily stay at El Castillo are mostly experienced mongers that like to keep a low profile and are less forthcoming with information. Last time I stayed there, one guy had a beauty with him. When I asked him who she is and where he found her, he would not tell me. He was not unfriendly or anything. Just indifferent. I thought that was a bit unusual. The next day I noticed that attitude is the norm. There were four guys eating breakfast without talking to each other. You won't see that at the main Plaza.
The guys that stay at the main plaza tend to be more extroverted, want to party, share info, take you on tours, teach you basic spanish, be willing to be your wing man etc.
The above is based on my personal experience and I have stayed at both locations several times. I love the staff at both locations and I think they are the best part of staying at the Plaza / El Castillo.
These days, when I am solo, I stay in apartments (Poblado rentals) and if I have a newbie friend with me, we stay at the mansion at least for a few days. I know it is counter intuitive.[/QUOTE]Guys that stay at Castillo are usually better off staying in an apartment. They have their own own chicks from previous visits and don't want them poached on. Most just don't like to leave the security blanket of the Plaza / Castillo.
[QUOTE=Coronel; 1388386]I've been offered a rather nice flat (three bedrooms) in Envigado for 250 USD a week. On calle 48, around 8-9 km from Parque Lleras.
Could and should the rent be cheaper?
I could also rent a single bedroom with its own bathroom but would have to share the kitchen. Plus the uncertainty of the people that would or would not stay in the other bedrooms (doors do have locks on them).[/QUOTE]Places outside Poblado are dirt cheap! You get a 3 bedroom for the price of one bedroom. However, I would probably prefer something up North. Like in Laureles which is a bit closer to everything (Centro and Lleras).

If you want that, you would have to arrange it with a specific girl beforehand. And if you stay at Castillo, you're perfectly welcome to hang out at the pool and / or bar at the Mansion to meet girls (and bring them back up the hill to Castillo).
I would recommend the Mansion for a relative newbie, but really either location is fine. I stayed at el Castillo on my 1st visit to MDE and it worked fine. Even though I speak decent Spanish and know MDE fairly well now, I still stay at one of these two houses because I like the social atmosphere with the other guests. It's nice to have fellow mongers around to do a casa run or go out to eat or to a club. However, if I was going to MDE with friends, I might consider staying elsewhere.

I think you will be fine at Medellin Plaza (the hotel with chicas that show up at 3 PM) or El Castillo (the sister hotel that is one block east) or in your own apartment. If you choose an apartment, I suggest Pobaldo rentals. Between these three choices, the price differences are insignificant and not worth stressing over. Have fun.
[QUOTE=Jonesie; 1401028]I'd suggest Medellin Plaza / Mansion. Barry's got some issues. We rented his nicest place last weekend, the hot water went out the second day, calls to the manager went unanswered and we took cold showers the rest of our stay. I was joking around on facebook with Barry, and he threatened me with a bat. Now. If you look at Barry, and look at me, you see the humor in this. More funny that he wasn't joking.
I think Barry's been reading the Noah Goldberg "Gangster Jargon 101" book while doing lines and shots of aguardiente. Which is all fine, as long as you're not in the hospitality business.[/QUOTE]Joansie, I met you and I can say,
I fight guys like you on the way to a fight.
The water never went out. Scum bags like you should stay in Costa Rica. All you do is provoke people. You can't stop pushing people buttons. Besides the fact I'm not even in Colombia.
But the fact I got to you makes me smile. What did you say to me. It wouldn't be me if I didn't get you blood to boil.
Your quote.
"We're all chill here. Just getting you going jersey boy. Is it too late to click the maid option? Would she cook us breakfast for a price?

The hot water went out, and nobody answered or returned calls. We took cold showers the rest of our stay. That's simple mismanagement. Maybe you had it turned off because you couldn't take a joke. I really don't care any more.
People who live like Noah Goldberg lived, generally die like Noah Goldberg died. It's simple cause and effect. That jerkoff threatened me over a $9 domain anyone could have bought the week before the hounds of fate caught his ass. Now it seems you're eager to fill that void.[/QUOTE]Not by you it won't happen.

How many off color comments you leave on my Facebook
How crazy you get when I didn't want to pay $300 a month to advertise on your shitty website?
You went ape shit on me?
Were you a paid guest at my apartment? No you oozed your way in and made a profit off the commission I gave you.
So if there was a problem since they were your clients you should have opened your mouth to me like you always do.
There is nothing in the log about it
the hot water going out. By the way it's Colombia sometimes the water is off. I don't control this the same way I can't control what pills you pop or how much you drink before crying to everyone here that I threatened you. You deserved it for all the shit you put me through.
I find it in toon with exactly how you are to come here with this nonsense. I think you should cry wolf somewhere else.

I am calling it out loud and clear joansie is a liar. With that said to Joansie defense.
We can't make everybody happy. It's impossible to think this. For some reason this month for what ever reason we have been fighting with way to many people. It's a hard job looks easy but especially in casa Loma and Santa Maria. Trying to have our clients happy and the residents happy. A fair price for everyone it's not easy. After his 6 or 7th little cute Facebook post plus his trying to goat me into his banner ad I threatened him. He surely deserved it. If that seals my fate in Medellin with the monger community so be it. But I doubt it. People have been sending me tells all day saying they know him from San Jose. What a dick seems to be the common theme. Full of himself seems to be the other. Your call ISG
I'm one of the most documented monger trip reporters on the internet. Show me one place where I fried anyone for any other reason aside from having a bad experience at their place. All this drivel about my motives is simply smoke to distract from his failings. I don't have a commercial interest in Medellin at any level.
Fact: I stayed at Casa Loma this last weekend.
Fact: The hot water went out Friday night.
Fact: Several calls to management were made, messages left without answer for the duration of our stay.
Fact: We took cold showers Saturday and Sunday, not by choice.
Anything else about me being a dick, Barry medaling at the special olympics, all irrelevant.
I don't think 100% of people have a bad experience with Pob Rentals. Maybe not even half. But too many do for a hospitality business. A restaurant where only 20% of the diners got sick is still a restaurant I suggest avoiding. The same with Poblado rentals.

In a normal apartment there is one water heater. In casa loma there are 4 different water heaters because of the size. All run from electric. If all the different hot water heaters went out then the electric was off, which you never claim. Otherwise not all 6 showers were without hot water, impossible. They couldn't be turned off either from outside the apartment before you claim this and that I would do out of spite.
You made this all up to embarrass and belittle me because I dared to threaten you after about 7 stupid comments that you left me with the last one being about your mayorista working girls getting into a fight with the tenants of casa loma in the elevators.
Your comment from Facebook
Monger Jonesie If you didn't need any more bitterness fuel, one of the mayorista girls we brought over for tln got into it with a neighbor in the elevator. Then she emptied the candlewax into the shower and clogged up my shower. So about that deposit...

And then after I got crazy over this your response was:
Monger Jonesie Hahaha... Sorry man, didn't know you'd send out the bat signal. We're all good. Sweet place...

Yes Michael or joansie whatever your name is it is a sick place. I own a bunch of "sick" places.
You did this just to amuse yourself after you we're paid over a $100 for booking these guys into my apartment. By me.
Then you got yourself invited by them only to come down here and bust my balls.
Sounds about right?
In a regular small apartment (where you belong mind you) this could happen, but it couldn't happen here.
Special Olympics is that one of the names of the pills you pop?
In casa loma no it couldn't at least one or two or possibly three showers would still have hot water.
You came up with the wrong lie this time. You don't know enough about apartments to even know this. You got back to San Jose and said how can I get to Barry, well since no one reads my site ill take it to ISG. Where people actually do come and read the forums.
Next time come up with bed bugs that's a winner.
Which leads me to believe most of your reports on your website are made up lies. No one should go any of your websites because you personally make up the stories.

"You do have a interest in Medellin." You own the site medellinpaisa. That you ripped off the name from the late Noah.
Damn you can't even lie well.
[QUOTE=Jonesie; 1401723]I checked into your apartment with every intention of giving you a great review. Even after you couldn't take a joke, that hadn't changed. I review based on my experience, not my opinion of your personality. Judging by the extensive measures you've gone to discredit that review, I'd say you didn't care for my review.
What may make your case a little difficult, is than anybody can go on this or any other site and read one of my 100+ trip reports and use that to judge my credibility. I've even given shifty Cuban apartments the benefit of the doubt much of the time. You, on the other hand, have months of arguments and accusations on multiple sites, name calling and slander at other guys who, according to you, for no good reason just made up complaints about your apartments to hurt you, a complete stranger.
Medellinpaisa is a non-prof hobby. It will most likely never be more than that. I wanted the plural form, but it was taken by some goofball in Kansas (who later turned out to be my buddy). I'll point out that domain sat available for years before I bought it for $9. So if your scumbag friend would have taken 5 minutes away from ripping his fellow gringos off, he could have owned it.
In the end, you should take an honest assessment of your business model. You started off really well. Then something, or several things changed and you've been taking a [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord140][CodeWord140][/url] ever since. I tried to stay at your place so I'd have a better rounded point of reference towards lodging options in Medellin. If you were being a douche, and still the king of hospitality, I would have said exactly that (case in point, Hotel Amistad).
Barry, You need to go back to the way you were doing things a year ago, before whatever personal or professional events took place and keep things as simple as possible. You're making an enemy every 5 minutes these days.
[QUOTE=Brocs; 1401660][/QUOTE]Joansie thanks for your business advice. Let me grab a pen and pad so you can enlighten me more.
You lied about the hot water. You lied about no business interests in Medellin.
Noah was never a friend you keep bringing that up. You grabbed his domain good for you.
What review did I try to discredit that you lied. Yes I called you out because its impossible all four water heater went off. It's just to prove your character. Your quote the place is awesome. That only changed after I threatened you. You deserved the ribbing after how good I been to you. You take great pleasure in fucking with me. Being a habitual line stepper. I'm not changing anything about my buissness thanks because if works and keeps you away from it then I am truly happy. Medellin tourists are 90% coolest travelers. But we get about 10% dicks. You fall into the 10% category.
Please I'm done here. I don't need any advice from you on on running a business. You got to stay in my mansion for free good for you. I told you I'm easy to find. All this has done nothing but have our phone ring off the hook. So whatever you were hoping to get out of this you again failed. My business isn't all mongers. It's families and that's what I truly want as clients. I don't mind mongers as long as they can behave. You like to rib me but when I ribbed you back you tried trashing me. You never done business with me previous so how do you know I wasn't the same dick back two years ago?
My advice to you. Stop giving advice. Stop being a standup drunk and grow up.
Jonsie.
When we met, I thought you were a good guy. I like your websites and the efforts you have made. But, I really question your business style. You attack the established players who are considered the "Good Guys". Barry is one of the coolest guys on the scene. He has great apartments and bends over backward to make your stay memorable. He always throws killer parties when he is in town with some great girls. The girls all respect Barry because he treats them well. Your facebook joke with Barry was a douchebag move. I know those guys get very stressed over neighbors in those high class buildings. Any guy with a little bit of empathy for the small business operator would recognize what a crappy joke that was. I know, because I have owned rental real estate and it is a nightmare business.
I have also seen your nonsense with Bill at the Sportsmens. Again, one of the good guys. I know of very few who speaks ill of the Sportsmens. They run a class operation.
I think you only hurt yourself with public fueds with class operators in the monger scene.

I see it more clearly now. It's his own jealousy problems. We even took the main guy who paid for the apartment to get a SIM card and put minutes on his phone. He even re-rented a apartment from me. So if I gave crappy service then why? Joansie has issues with anyone who will not pay for a banner ad on his site. He contacted me in such a obnoxious way that I almost felt threatened. So he came up with this lie about hot water. When he realized he was caught he points to that he has no interest in Medellin but that's a lie he owns a website. He tries to sidetrack by saying its a hobby. With banner ads up and everything. He doesn't really run it but if that's true then why am I banned for life from it now? Then he points to something as vague as I am making enemies every 5 minutes.
Look if you want to review places you have to be honest and truthful and have intergretity. I don't think he is showing he has any of these attributes.
What he wrote on Facebook was just one of the many of deuce bag posts he left me.
They usually come in around 1-2am when he probably has just returned from drinking and his level of deuchyness is at it's optimum level. Anyway Esteban thanks.

i have to side with jonesie here.
i was a model citizen toughing it out at a horrendously noisy "soundproofed" parque lleras apt. owned by barry. we're talking discos below and across the street, clanging kitchen behind, construction overhead, and even a compressor line running through an interiorwall, horns honking and people yelling untill 4:00 am. i never made a peep about it because i was stuck paying 1/2 the cost up front. a friend, kaz, had warned me of this place "studio 202", but it was too late as i had already paid the extremely high deposit. kaz rented for 3 nights, but left to a hotel after one night, eating the balance. beware of poblado rentals studio 202.
barry made overtures to me to rent a future stay, raising the rate by another $10 per day. as this was out of the question, i never responded to his overture.
then i received the strangest series of facebook messages from barry, all of which were unprompted. he began harassing me as being cheap at the same time he was making excuses for his behavior and attributing it to a divorce. when i told him i didn't understand the necessity of his excuses, his response was: "go fuck yourself. how's that. go find a $50 room and stick it in your tight ass". he followed that up with the cowardly gesture of unfriending me before i could respond. beware of barry.
i guess barry and his many chins have some kind of personal problems or mental illness that causes him to spontaneously lash out at people in an abusive manner. it's a great attribute for someone in the hospitality business. i'm sure he'll have some excuse for his behavior. either that or challenge me to a fight, because he fancies himself a tough guy. but the fact remains barry is erratic, abusive, cowardly and unprofessional. i wish him a full recovery, but needless to say my tight ass will not be doing business with him anytime soon.

i guess barry and his many chins have some kind of personal problems or mental illness that causes him to spontaneously lash out at people in an abusive manner. it's a great attribute for someone in the hospitality business. i'm sure he'll have some excuse for his behavior. either that or challenge me to a fight, because he fancies himself a tough guy. but the fact remains barry is erratic, abusive, cowardly and unprofessional. i wish him a full recovery, but needless to say my tight ass will not be doing business with him anytime soon.[/quote]-
your twisting it completely. after renting you the studio for 15 days you contacted me to re-rent the place again. if the place was so problematic then why would you want to re-rent it again? i simply said and i quote i'm glad you had a good stay. i just don't wish to re-rent it to you at $50 / night.
that was all. i never heard back so i contacted you. you were insulted and gave me a bunch of ???
i asked you what's. ???
and you went completely off on me for being rude.
that's all there was. i don't have to be locked into the same deals with people year to year. you made that reservation in 2012. we honored it. now that this argument with some other person has come to light you jump on.
i'm not mad i didn't even have all your dates for your next 15 days. but because i dare tell you this you chimed in with some nasty line about making excuses and now this. we are not a retail store and the customer isn't always right. if you behave like a jerk. talk to me like a jerk. ill tell you to go fuck yourself. take your money somewhere else. nice you have 2 posts here, what a contributor.
by the way "strong" that's the gayest name ever and that photo of you in that lagoon. gay!

All this is about you making a huge deal over a small one. You didn't like my joke. So you set out on the warpath. In the process, you crossed a few ethical lines in business behavior.

I'll put your banner up in the headline spot for month of December. If it gets less than 1, 000 hits, it's free.
Over 1, 000, it's $200.

Please make that offer to the mansion. It's not in the budget for a 200 / month anything.

But since you're skeptical.

You can ***** about the coca cola rep not selling your pepsi all you want. The mansion has held their end of the agreement, so I've sent tons of clients to them. As hard as I've tried to bring you into the fold, you've resisted in an accusing manner.

All the low rent bullshit aside. I've stayed at one of Rich's places, and really liked it. However, for short term stays, I'd still prefer the B&B style of the mansion.
I like the like-minded camaraderie of the mansion, and I like my girls over 18, as uncivilized as that may seem.

There was nothing personal I just could not do 1/4 off the rent. You did absolutely nothing wrong over your stay. I have our banter back and forth only thing I said to you was exactly what I wrote. Glad you had a nice stay but I just can't do $50 a night on a $65 room. You never responded I waited for a reply. When I did not get one from you I did not want to bother you, I figured it was a dead deal. There was no need for me to make a offer I knew your position because you said right in your text," and I want the same deal again"
As far as defriending you and you couldn't get the last word there is a ton of ways to contact me to curse me out or even if I dare say this call me on the phone like the old days and discuss something with me. I'm easy to reach.
I have nothing else to really say but I hope when you retire down here you enjoy your life. I like the car reference "gasket" very red-neck. Glad you were able to pile on here. You don't know me well enough to tell me what I need to do. Maybe you need to look in the mirror and see that someone else is entitled to be having a bad day and give that person some forgiveness and understanding. Instead of slamming them when they contact you stating the same.
I have stayed in several of the apartments that Poblado has over the past year. I also had and reted thru Juan V in Cartagena several apartments. These guys are the best I have found out of the many I have used or been associated with. The apts are 1st class and major problems (noise) are always explained in advance. Pissing contests suck and I do not do well in them so I try and not be involved, only my experience in regards to being a renter or owner. By the way, Ruben of Poblado is top notch in my book and Barry has always tried to accomadate my screw-ups (dates of rentals).

i don't think you are risking jail by being with an **** girl in medellin. i have heard of a few incidents with **** girls in medellin and the police accepted a payoff. gringos have the money for the payoff. the paramilitaries are in medellin because the police are so easily bribed. there was a guy in costa rica who had a picture of a girl who was 17 on his computer and the police confirep001ed the computer and arrested him. he was in jail for months. medellin has a huge problem with child prostitution. my girlfriend lives in robledo in strata 2. she says many colombian men have sex with 10-12 year old girls.

Back to apartments. Does anyone know of any place with a 2BR in Laureles?
could someone kindly recommend the best economic option for one person staying in medellin one or two weeks? my personal requirements are locations that are acceptable to non- or semi-pros, walking distance to the transmilenio (to get downtown during the day) and quiet enough to sleep at night. safety is synonymous with the chica acceptability.
thanks!
p. s. this is a great board, but the first three pages of this hotel and apartment thread was either about **** ladies or fights between posting members. would be great if we got back to staying on point.
the transmilenio is in bogotá.
i am sorry i have not updated the list, but here is the pdf for medellin.

Rubens job is to meet you there collect the balance on time and give you the keys. Other then that interaction, you really don't need him. I am not sure who you are. I have in our log that there was a noise complaint from the neighbor Tuesday night at almost midnight. If that's the case knowing ruben he called you up and was probably sort of a rough. It's better this then the cops being called or upsetting our only neighbor there until I can buy them out.
With that said if it was something completely different I apologize and just wish you spoke to me on the phone about it and I could have done my best to clear this up because I see your upset and that's not what I want especially when you liked both the apartment and dealing with me the owner.
All the best.

I forgot to mention one of the highlights of my last trip is this apartment I rented near Parque lleras. It is 4 blocks from the Parque and 1 block from the cool cafes and restaurants on 34th. It is very close but not too close to keep you from getting a good night sleep. Place is spacious, has friendly day and night porteria and obviously is girl friendly. The chicks loved it too :-D. I ran into an expat and during the conversation I told him where I am staying. He knew the place and he said,"oh! That is so and so's place" (intentionally not posting the name here). Well, this so and so has a nice pad and good for him.

There are a dexent number of taxis driving by, as you start walking toward Parque Lleras or if you go one block east, across the street is exito express where you can find taxis parked, fill up your fridge or last minute chewing gum or condoms.
I have been doing my homework on nightlife, and am looking for a nice place, good value in Medellin that is near the metro route.
[url]http://www.booking.com/hotel/co/ibis-medellan.en-gb.html[/url]
I came across the following hotel, modern decor for $50 a night. It's located just south of Barrio Colombia, which is just north of Poblano, before the metro stop for Industriales.
So, my question is has anyone stayed here, and is it possibly chica friendly.
Barrio Colombia is to the place to find the upscale night spots like The Karma and Mia VIP Room. It's also the barrio where the new Liquid Lounge is opening. This hotel seems like it may be within walking distance of Liquid and just 1km from the metro at Industriales.
Any advice from you seasoned travelers?

Any advice from you seasoned travelers?[/QUOTE]I can recommend hotel Ibis. The rate on booking. Com, is about 43 dollars a night and girl friendly I think, not sure. I had a client staying there and its on my list of places to stay when I am fully booked. I recently took Hotel Trypp over IBIS because booking was offering it for 50 dollars a night. I stay there on the 28th so I don't know much more about it. I do know that fashion week models all get put up in the trypp. What I can tell you that the area around IBIS changes drastically at night for the worse. Lots of weird street walkers come out near there. Just keep your wits about you if your walking to the metro, or barrio Colombia. Had a client staying at the IBIS he showed me photos room is very nice.

Honestly the town is almost sold out of apartments from June 28 to July 8th I don't know of anything open for apartments.
We just re-did the living room in our Laureles house. Again the house has no neighbors. You can play music loud have girls over no issue. The price is 30 dollars a night based on 4 staying there and 40 a night each based on 3. Across from exito, so you got supplies. Bus is across the street to central. We have a night time guard. There is a bar under house open till 10am. You can have your coffee there and watch people go by. It's our answer to where we can throw a party, or bachelor party. Keep in mind that girls coming here there taxi's are cheaper then poblado mostly. New photos be ready in a day or so construction in apt 8 finished today.
Thanks for the kind words, all I appreciate it.
Besides the Holiday Inn, are there any other very nice hotels. 3 or 4 stars, that are chica friendly. I have heard that Hotel Torre Poblado is an option but they will not respond to any emails and their website does not work in making a reservation. Not a good sign.
I do understand that it is necessary to sign up for 2 guests even if the chica will only be in the room for an hour or so.
I do not want to rent an apartment. I just want some names of very good hotels to stay.

Hey Peter, Hotel Torre is a great option. Your right you can never get them on phone or email. When I am booked I usually walk into lobby and talk to them directly. The other option is to pick them off on booking. Com when they lower the rates. I seen there rate all over the place from 49 dollars a night to 85-90. Another great option is that torre poblado advertises on Groupon. They recently had a Medellin groupon for 50, 000 pesos unbelievable 26 dollars a night. You have to buy two nights min but probably best deal ever.
The signing up of female guests are for your and there protection. They are also ordered by law to record all guests coming in to the property. If she robs you they have her cedula information.
Besides that hotel, hotel trypp under 55 dollars a night, hotel ibis at 45 a night, lincoln at 46 dollars a night. I love the lincoln.
In the spirit of competition we would like to offer our laureles house to mongers.
We can house 4 guys and would like to drop it to a $100 a night creating a $25 / night per guy. If you need help with the women, we will put you in contact on facebook and you can seek out the one you like, just as the mansion does for there clients but at half the price.
Unlike them we have no residential neighbors, we have a supermarket across the street, ATM and a bar down stairs.
We have no T-shirts for sale, and everything I touch doesn't turn to gold.
Thank You.

Thinking MDE for July 18-22.
As a rookie where do you suggest staying.
Do you recommend getting a rental.
I like to travel all around.
Prices for girls among the average
Anyone know a good dentist.
Just want to pamper myself get a good cleaning.
Has anyone here had experiencing bringing girls back to Hostel's or guesthouses? I would need to get a private room in a hostel obviously. I've always stayed in hotels while I'm out mongering but I'm trying to stick to a budget of 200K COP per day. I'll be in Colombia for 30 days so I need to watch my spending. I was reading through this forum and saw that a member posted several URLs included one for hostelworld. Com and airbnb. Com which looks like it lists mostly guestrooms in peoples apartments and houses. I've never considered these options. I'm just wondering if anyone else here has tried this.
Thanks
Have had problems in the past and know that it can be tough finding a place for a foreigner in Medellin. The agency linked below will work with foreigners to find a place. They require a prepay of a few month's rent and a refundable 'insurance' premium but the rentals are priced at local rates and not the 'gringo' rates found on other sites.
I receive no commission and have no affiliation with the agency, just passing it on for information.

Hey I am here at hotel IBIS for 2 nights. Here's my thoughts. Nothing is cheaper on booking dot com it's 39 dollars a night. The room itself is tiny. But it's workable. The bed is comfortable, tv is a Samsung 32 flat, AC works 2 well. Views out window are ok. Area is near industrials station. Close to Barrio Colombia. Bathroom looks to much like hospital bathroom but still very nice with glass shower. I think it's not a problem to bring a chica back. The girls at front desk seemed totally disinterested. There is no free breakfast. Request multiple wifi passwords if you have more then one device. Room has safe. I think the worst thing is the room is just to small. I had to push my suitcase sideways by the bed.

Bbrocs, how far is the Ibis from the Metro?[/QUOTE]It's 5 blocks I just walked it to see. Out the hotel door make a right on corner you run right into the metro.
Stayed there my last trip to Medellin. Yes the rooms are small but relatively new hotel. With the metro everything is just a train ride away. Prefer those rooms to the hotels in Mayorista.
You don't have a fridge but you can get a cooler with ice at the bar.
Didn't have a problem getting a woman to my room. She has to be with you because you need the room key card to get up the elevator.
Probably don't want to bring one through the lobby looking like Super Ho'.
Hi all I'm sold out so I trying another under $60 / night hotel with AC. This hotel owns three in the provenza area of poblado. For those in the know. It's just one of the nicest areas of poblado. A few blocks above Lleras. Restaurants and coffee shops and bars are all brand new here. The hotel is next to MU rib joint and the new Bogota Beer Factory. The room is small but well appointed. Nice flat screen on wall where I can plug I my roku box and computer. Here's what I like. Best wifi of all places I stayed. No need to relog on again and again. It's per floor and I'm streaming movies before bed. It has a safe but no fridge. It has the best free breakfast out of all places I stayed in long time and the two days I been here it's been different.
Cons: no elevator. I dragged my suitcase up two flights. I'm not sure if it's chica friendly. The front desk seems kind of nosey. I would surely ask.
Booked it on booking dot com. After tax it was $62 a night. 3 blocks from park Lleras.
There were reports in the past that it was chica friendly. It is no longer the case. I was in MDE for 2 days so couldn't rent an apartment. Decided to stay here because the price was right. Free with Starwood points. Only 3000 to boot. Anyways, I registered for 2 online (but did not register anyone when I registered). At night, they wanted me to pay 230k for an additional person! WTF? I took her to a love motel close by for 80k. Next day, I thought. Maybe it's ok to bring a guest for an hour. Nope. 230k too. They said I had to register her when I registered amd she had to stay the whole time. The hotel is nice and clean but don't bring anyone back if you stay here.

This hotel accommodates up to 2 adults (adults = guests) per room. An 'ID' must be presented at check-in. Rates are the same for 1 adult or 2 adults. Then there is no way to add an adult or guest for that room. However I find it extremely unlikely that they may refuse a visitor, not a lodging guest, during the day time. Please elaborate on it. Also given the fact of 1-2 nights stay, one may actually solicit a girl and then check in with her at night for one night, only to make the point of it.

However, they all must checkin with you when you check in. There is an "additional person" form (in english) they make you fill out that state that there is an additional 230k charge. They tried to make me fill it out even during the day!

When hotels have such high chicas fees it means they are not interested in that type of clientele.
I would have loved to have rented your studio but 1. I don't think you rent less than 3 nights. 2. Everything was booked a month in advance.
Really? I've never had that problem in the past. Maybe a year ago or so. Never an issue with the temp g / f.

The only lesson is to stay in hotels where one is comfortable to pay for a separate room for a girl (habitacion sencilla) and where there is a difference between single and double occupancy (habitacion doble)

In Bogota it was 2 hours and she had to show ID but I stayed at this one hotel so often they just let me and my guest in. I'd also warn the door guy to make sure I was with the girl on the way down.

I've stayed here a couple times when the Mansion is sold out or just plain get's tired of me.
Roughly $60 with a good breakfast and a crappy dinner. $75 for junior suite. Rooms are plush with fast internet. Girl friendly. She registers at the desk, but there's no charge. The last one I called over, they called me from the desk, I told them to send her up, and boom, she was knocking on the door. Not sure what they think of threesomes.

Hotel Marco Delicias, Calle 85 No 50A-13, Barrio Santa María (Itagüí)
Hello,
Looking for a luxurious apartment or a penthouse in El Poblado. From 18th January till 2nd February.
Swimming pool, gym and security is necessary.
Write in PM please.
Due to over booking in Poblado and Colombian business custom of room rate for double occupancy Sun thru Thursday I ended up near Metro Estadios station. Lots of bars and dancing places. Does anyone know of other action?
This is more like a budget hotel with no safe.

[url]http://www.hotelcentralplazamedellin.com[/url][/QUOTE]I've stayed at both. Hotel Alcaravan has small rooms with really small bathrooms (unless you want to pay more for a 2 or 3 cama room and the BRs are still really small). The hotel is kept really clean.
Central plaza. I stayed only 2 nights as the girls were complaining it was to long a walk from the strip. Also nice and clean.
Granted both stays were a couple of years ago but I don't see things changing all that much.
Hello, I recently got to stay at San Fernando plaza hotel. Here's my two cents. I needed a place to stay for 1 night. Came across this online and normal price was always over 100 and that's not for me. But last minute $79 dollars online with pool and on my bucket list of places to stay I bit.
Place is a wonderful, location, staff, room, direct TV, best buffet breakfast free I ever seen. The pool kicks serious ass. Right down escalator is food court. And there's one of the best Mexican restaurants in all of Medellin.
My three cons. TV in room in a weird corner spot and needs to be bigger. Two the WiFi. Don't log mne out every time my device goes to sleep. I absolutely hate that. Why do they do this what are they saving on? Three enter your key in elevator every time. Not always wanted to work. This place is girl friendly. Just meet them at elevator and go up. Register for two. If it isn't or there is a fee I am sorry I didn't get 1.
Location. Golden mile on avenue poblado.
Does anyone know any apartments for rent near or at Mayorista? I stayed at Franks place before but apparently that is no longer an option.
Thanks for the info.
When my Medellin apartment was not available till the next day, I spent one night at the Hotel Diez (calle 10 #34) in El Poblado. I made an online reservation for one room with double occupancy. They did not object to my registering my girl an hour after I arrived and checked in. Of course, she was well-dressed and very gracious, which may have had something to do with it.
The room was! 58.000 COP including breakfast.
Does this mean other upper-end hotels in Medellin follow the same policy. So that you could check in then register a chica hours later? By extension, if you stayed a week and made a separate reservation for each night, could you have a different chica each night?

Archimedes[/QUOTE]Don't count on it. They certainly would not tolerate this. Your best bet is to have a talk with the boss. Explain your situation and ask him if he can waive the fee or give you a discount.

I recently stayed here for 4 nights while looking for an apartment.
I stayed in the Especial / Doble room with a small kitchen. 4 night discounted rate 107k per night. Normally 132k per night. Breakfast included.
Chica fee 35k per day. I pulled the boss aside and explained that my girlfriend would be the only person visiting me. He told me that he would charge me a one time fee 20k and she could come as often as she liked.
This hotel is located a half block from Mondongos on Avenida 70 and 3 blocks from UPB University.

Archimedes[/QUOTE]The whole point of guest fees and high guest fees especially at upper end hotels is that they do not want to cater to the prepago crowd. Rich Colombian families stay there and they don't want to see some old guy with their prepago. Your best bet is to make clear what you are planning to do.
I've stayed at barry's (poblado rentals) before and like the set up but would like a different area now. Maybe laureles or estadio near la 70 for a one bedroom. Any recomendatiosn would be great. Apartments are my pref but a nice girl friendly hotel might work. Space is normally bigger in an apartment.

Brand new hotel. Screaming cheap rate so I booked it. Anyone had any chica experiences here?
I just returned from spending nine days at the Hotel Calle Real- I can't begin to express my thanks for the warmth and generosity of the staff. The Hotel is perfectly situated for the budget or business traveler who wants to really get a feel for the real Medellin. It's also perfect for mongers. Tucked away half a block from Iglesia de la Veracruz, one of the main points in El Centro for street girls. You'll find girls on the west side of the street (church side) starting at the corner of Calle 51, all the way down the block ($10). The Botero horse at the end of the block is a post for some really young prepagos, and there will be a few around the corner. The block directly west of the church is all love hotels and bars, with girls working 24/7 ($15-20). Beware- it is very dangerous at night. If you choose to go there, take the taxi right to the door, then have one pick you up. There is one strip club on the corner- the bouncer there will take care of you and get you a taxi when you're ready to go. For the more upscale girls, El Conejo strip club is adjacent across the street from the Botero Plaza ($30). There's also several more clubs another block north and two blocks east. One of the senior members (I will post the credit as soon as I remember who did the work) prepared a great map. To locate Calle Real, go to the Parque Barrio Metro Station and go half a block east on Calle 51.
Three great restaurants are within a block as well, El Covacho (which takes credit cards, $8-15) on the second floor above the Botero Plaza Pasteleria; Lenore No. 2, a great all around Colombian chicken and whatnot restaurant with wonderful staff halfway down the block toward the Museum on the same side of the mall ($3-8) ; and Giovindas, a wonderful vegetarian buffeteria run by the Hare Krishnas, located on the second floor directly across the street from Iglesia Veracruz (adjacent to the pasteleria- daily special includes entree, salad, juice dessert, side and bread for $4 it rocked). Back to the hotel. The staff, especially Sña Mayra and Sr. Mauritio were helpful, incredibly friendly and always quick to laugh. Rooms were meticulously clean (though spartan). The main desk keeps constant surveillance in the halls and main entrances, So there's an extra feeling of security. This is a downtown area in a major city, and as with all cities it changes character after the business crowd leaves, generally by eight.
Members- feel free to contact me for more info. I'm far more concerned about passing on information than I am showing everyone what a badass senior member I am- unlike a few of my less-enlightened fellow mongers.
I am not interested in an apartment. I am looking for an upscale hotel in Poblado that does not have a chica fee. From my experiences in Bogota, the fanciest hotels allow guests for free as long as they have an I'd. Does anyone know of similar places in Medellin / Poblado area.
Hey MiamiSammy,
Nice post. Thanks. My first time, first post and just subscribed.
One question if you could answer.
I plan on going to Medellin end of this month,
Never been there before.
I read about this Art hotel which sounds like its in the same area you described.
Is that the case? How far is it from the place you mentioned? And I doubt you would know but any clue if it's GF friendly?
Thanks a lot! To you and all other members!
I'm planning to hit Bogota Medellin in near future. I was checking hotels and found Charlee Hotel which is an upscale hotel in Medellin. I found out that they do charge a multa for extra person so that is going to be a no no. Anybody knows any other cool spot bachelor pad.

[QUOTE=Bbrocs; 1483240]Hi all I'm sold out so I trying another under $60 / night hotel with AC. This hotel owns three in the provenza area of poblado. For those in the know. It's just one of the nicest areas of poblado. A few blocks above Lleras. Restaurants and coffee shops and bars are all brand new here. The hotel is next to MU rib joint and the new Bogota Beer Factory. The room is small but well appointed. Nice flat screen on wall where I can plug I my roku box and computer. Here's what I like. Best wifi of all places I stayed. No need to relog on again and again. It's per floor and I'm streaming movies before bed. It has a safe but no fridge. It has the best free breakfast out of all places I stayed in long time and the two days I been here it's been different.
Cons: no elevator. I dragged my suitcase up two flights. I'm not sure if it's chica friendly. The front desk seems kind of nosey. I would surely ask.
Booked it on booking dot com. After tax it was $62 a night. 3 blocks from park Lleras.[/QUOTE]Is this place chica friendly with no fee?

OK, this may be a dumb question but can't seem to find the answer anywhere. Are you allowed to bring girls that are not invited / admitted into the place on a regular basis back to your room there?

MiamiSammy-------Great report on Hotel Calle Real in Centro. I very much enjoy the ambiance of this area but have never considered actually home basing here. Is it possible to bring new found friends up to the room in Hotel Calle Real? Do they need to be registered and/or is there a fee? What type of "Walk of shame" is there. It looks like a fairly small hotel so I doubt much would escape the attention of the front desk.

I am a MDE-newbie and would appreciate very much your support.[/QUOTE]Almost all hotels are chica friendly. This is based on my extensive travels and discussions with friends but I almost always stay in apartments. For hotels, your big question is (for most guys any way) if the hotel charges a fee to bring a guest in. This has been discussed at length. Call ahead or take your chance but always book a room for two. When you are checking in tell them that the second person is your Colombian girlfriend and she will be joining you later. Make the day receptionist put a note in there. It is hard to make a case with a chica in your arms at 2 am and they are best settled at the time of check in. If you pay the first night, you will end up paying every night.
Good luck.

Any suggestions would be welcome direct to me.[/QUOTE]If you are still looking, this is my favorite place in MDE. Stunning views. It is 3 bedroom but if you are only one person (like me) they give a discount. They have everything you listed. Only thing is that you can't have loud music and that is almost a given in any nice apartment. It is in an upscale building so one has to use common sense and not drag half naked chicas through the lobby.

[QUOTE=TroyBoy;1563119]MiamiSammy-------Great report on Hotel Calle Real in Centro. I very much enjoy the ambiance of this area but have never considered actually home basing here. Is it possible to bring new found friends up to the room in Hotel Calle Real? Do they need to be registered and/or is there a fee? What type of "Walk of shame" is there. It looks like a fairly small hotel so I doubt much would escape the attention of the front desk.[/QUOTE]Do the units have air conditioning?

[QUOTE=Vitrea;1594713]Almost all hotels are chica friendly. This is based on my extensive travels and discussions with friends but I almost always stay in apartments. For hotels, your big question is (for most guys any way) if the hotel charges a fee to bring a guest in. This has been discussed at length. Call ahead or take your chance but always book a room for two. When you are checking in tell them that the second person is your Colombian girlfriend and she will be joining you later. Make the day receptionist put a note in there. It is hard to make a case with a chica in your arms at 2 am and they are best settled at the time of check in. If you pay the first night, you will end up paying every night.
Good luck.[/QUOTE]I think by chica friendly, most mean no additional fee for bringing in a guest. Yes, most will allow a guest in for a fee. Isn't that like at any hotel in the world? Reserving for 2 doesn't always work either. I was at the 4 Points Sheraton (used points) and reserved for 2. They said the other person had to check in the same time as you. I found this out after I tried to bring a chica in and they tried to sock me with a 150 k extra guest charge. All I can say is, if you decide to go the hotel route, find out directly from the hotel beforehand what their policies. Don't depend on what you read here. Policies change frequently!
When I was staying in HMP, I met some chica telling me that they go party at Casa Shlomi with younger guys from Israel. One chica told me that she met her long term boyfriend at Casa Shlomi. I did some research and found a facebook page for Casa Shlomi.
The videos and pictures posted on the page look awesome. The girls and parties shown on the page are 10 X better than HMP's. Anyone have any intel on Casa Shlomi? Like where it is located and who can get in? Do these young guys party and fuck chica for free there?

Calle 46 #43-98' in the la candelaria area in centro, near metro san antonio, cheap, 14 dollar a night, booked tru [URL]booking.com[/URL].
Room is simple but very clean, only drawbacks are no elevator and no AC, electric fans only. The hotel is small, only 3 stories, and the top floor is the restaurant open only from 6 am to 10 am for breakfast. Usual American and local arepa, eggs, chorizo paisa style. Cheap, 4-6 k including coffee. Each floor has a common areas with sofas, open to the balcony. Reception sells soda and bottle water, cheap, no markup.
Not chica friendly, but you can have guest in normal hour, means no overnight stay.
Each room has posts cautioning guests about loss of valuables, nice, enthusiastic staff, however, they speak very few words of English. This area is not safe at night, I am warned by staffs to get home before nightfall, if late then taxis.
The area is near major road, carrera 46,43, shopping, market and services. All are within walking distances.
Grid north 06.24412 west 075.56544.
Our Hotel property has been bought.
We will be a monger hotel in Medellin. Non mongers can stay elsewhere.
Location is Park Poblado. 3 story building 11 rooms and a roof top bar where the action will be.
Rooms will go between 60-70 dollars a night depending on the night weekends are towards the higher amount.
The hotel will be walkable to 80% of our apartment inventory so this would make for a good meet up spot for all.
People not staying there are welcome. Cost is 20,000 pesos and it includes 3 drinks.
Hopefully opening weekend will be in time for superbowl. The rooms are built by Bruce and if you know anything about him he builds a sick room. In room bathrooms, flat screens, nice bed and AC is how bruce does it. Wifi and wallsafes.
Jonesie will be in house to deal with gals and guys. I will handle reservations. Ruben will handle upkeep. Security company will deal with safety and checking I'd's. Bruce the owner will oversee us all.
Hopefully we look forward to seeing some of you on or near superbowl week.
Competition is good for everyone. Keeps people honest. I intend to compete in this market like never before.

Beware all on Thomas McDevitt from Jupiter Florida. He trashed my apt. In Medellin. Do not rent to him or trust him. He is drug addict.
Way to go Barry!
And yes- competition is good. I think the rooms at the "mansion" are overpriced because they think they're the only game in town.

I can concur we handle deposits the same way. Prefer to a bank account because there are no fees. No charge backs and no bullshit. If you want a apartment. Money has to be put down to hold it.

Horrible Update:
I got a call from Bruce saying that the hotel project looks like a non starter now. He says the city plan to make calle 9 bigger and that the city is demanding a buy back of a certain amount of the property there. Not to mention that the new hotel rules for Medellin is that they now require you to have 1 parking space per 4 rooms. Bruce has always told me the truth. Brutally honest even when I don't want to hear the truth. So to think he got cold feet on the project I like to give him the benefit of the doubt. But this puts Jonesie and I back at square 1. My fault for putting my foot in my mouth. I waited till the promesa was drawn up and they were buying it. I figured it was a done deal. I think to get my foot out of mouth I'm going to have to wait a bit longer before any such announcements are made. The apartments are doing great so it's nothing to be upset about. But I for 1 was waiting anxiously for a location to entertain our renters that was walkable to most of our places. So that's the inside story.

I told you I wanted to check it out yes. because I thought it was strange that it had previously been listed in airnbn and then disappeared. I requested to see it prior to sending you my money because you were not using a mainstream rental site. I was the one who told you it was fine if you rented it. I never wanted to give the impression that you gave and then took away the reservation. What I told you was if you have it and i can check it out great. I also requested that maybe I could take a peek for possible future rental if already occupied. we were in agreement to meet, I tried contacting you several times and no response. In fact the first I hear from you is now in this post. several weeks after I left mde.
With all due respect, have provided many services to people on this forum, and have taken many many people from this forum around both Medellin and Bogota, and never had any issues, please view the forum posts to confirm this.
Perhaps it maybe more productive and reassuring to your future potential guests that you provide such contacts in the original PMs. The potential uselessness or value of this. Well I leave that to a future customer.
Concarne, I am not one that seeks problems, however I felt it is important to set the record straight. And I hope one day we can have a beer in Colombia!
Beers on me man no worries. honestly, I was ready to rent and liked the location. I was disappointed you did not meet me and I did not get to see the place. But you must also understand that, although a couple of hundred bucks is no big deal to loose, I do not like going around burning money for no reason. there are plenty of other rental options both that are more secure and that have much more history and much more established. Why not choose those? The onus is on the new and smaller guy (you) to make the potential customer very much at ease so that a rental can be done. As I asked in one of our first exchanges. set up paypal? Or use airnbn (what happened to that listing anyways?
Anyways, free market free speech, telling it how it was (except for the corrections above). If you can show me the place next time and I can have a way to have my cash protected I am all in.

I wanted to share this great apartment I booked it through [URL]booking.com[/URL] in the town of Laureles in Medellin. I got a one bedroom with two twin beds, a bathroom, a living room with a small sofa and dining table, a kitchen with dishes and pots. It is located in a really nice middle class very safe neighborhood and 20 minutes walk to the El Metro Estadio station. Very clean and super nice building, very quiet and private. It just felt like having your own apartment in NYC since you get your own key to the building and the place. There is no security checking anybody in or out and there is no need for that since the area is very safe. I paid $30 USA dollars or about 60000 pesos per night. Here is the link [URL]http://tuapartamentomde.com/pricing.html.[/URL] From the link I got the apartment that has the following note: #3 Apartamento amoblado Edificio Santo Tomas, barrio Laureles a 1 caudra de San juan why de la avenida Nutibara, ubicado enla Calle 41 #77 - 44. $59.900 pesos. If you wonder if is Chica friendly. It is because it is your own private apartment and you rarely see the neighbors. You just have to be discreet and be careful in bringing minors or trannies since it is a nice middle class neighborhood and building.

These are some of my thoughts and observation regarding sleeping in hostels and mongering in the Poblado area. Hostels are a very inexpensive forms of accommodation that are usually shared bunk bed from 2 bunks to 6-12 bunk, usually mix genders. It is super easy to find accommodation by just walking in since there are numerous hostels in the Poblado area. Some have private rooms. It can be a great atmosphere to meet single travelers from all over the world. I was able to check three hostels in the Poblado area while I was there in.
October and I just walked in at night without making any reservation and got my room. They are not that conducive to bringing a chicas in, but you can do it if you get a private room and you tell them that you are booking the room for yourself and your girlfriend and that she is coming later. The most you could do at the hostel is probably save money on the accommodations, and do your business outside like casa running during the day and the strip / night clubs at night.

This hostel is just three blocks walking to Parque Lleras. They have privates and mix bunks. I got a private room for 60000 pesos (30 USA) with bathroom outside the room. They said no problems with bringing your girlfriend in, but she just had to register when she comes. I was able to rest well in this hostel and met some interesting travelers including Colombian young travelers to my surprise. The people I met were not into mongering just into the partying at parque Lleras. Very nice and clean place and friendly staff. They have a kitchen that cooks only breakfast, very good food. They have salsa dance lesson once a week and a nice bar / music and many other activities. I slept comfortably in this place after 3 am because there is a techno club across the street with mad loud music on a Saturday night (I went to that Club and was pretty good). But overall, that hostel was a pretty nice experience and I recommend it. It allowed me to explore the area and.
A cheap apartment in Laureles. It is a great place to check the area, doing day casa runs, partying in parque Lleras and for exploring different neighborhoods until you find a more private and mongering accommodation like I did after a couple of days.

This is another nice hostel and just a couple of blocks from Parque lleras. The Colombian staff was not as friendly as the tiger paw hostel. They have privates and shares bunks / mix genders. They did not have a private room available so I took a shared bunk room for just $12 or 24000 pesos. The room was messy and with a funky smell cause of two messy backpackers sleeping there. There is a small bar that sells beers and drinks. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast only. This hostel was very noisy overall. People went to bed super late 4 am or 5 am, most travelers partying in Parque lleras and when they came back drunk they kept on talking loud forgetting people were trying to sleep. Don't recommend this place at all.
3)[URL]http://www.pitstophostel.com/[/URL].
[URL]http://www.pitstophostel.com/index.php?/hostel-in-medellin/rooms.html[/URL]
This hostel is a party hostel. It is located in Patio Bonito, which is a far walk from Parque Lleras. This place gets super noisy cause of the party atmosphere and lots of young international single travelers that came to Medellin to party and drink. Also, Colombian single travelers stay here. They have private rooms and shared bunk rooms. A private room is about $28 US and a shared bunk $11. They have a bar, a restaurant, a pool, lots of drinking here. Noisy place not conducive to resting, more conducive to partying and meeting world travelers and / or hooking up with a drunk girl at the hostel and then take her to your private room.
Conclusions: I don't recommend hostels for mongering at all. Only recommend as a short term and cheap.
Alternative to get yourself familiar with different areas until you find an accommodation in an area and price that you like. The share rooms are super cheap like $12 dollars a night and private rooms $30. It is a great place to meet other travelers but it is not that conducive to bringing chicas unless you book a private room and say a girlfriend is coming later and you would have to register her name when you register or when she comes. You can get a room at any hour of the day by just walking in without making any reservations because there are tons of hostels in the Poblado area.

Hey friends,
I will come first time to Colombia and Medellin on half of December.
What is best place for 'newbie' to take room there in Medellin? Is that El Poblado better choice than area near Parque Bolivar?
My plan is looking girls from casas and nightclubs. Is there some freelancer pick up places?
What about girls, are they more into short time deals or is it easy also get them to all night?
Thanks in advance.

Riku[/QUOTE]For staying, the Poblado area is a great choice. Forget about Parque Bolivar area, it is a shady and dangerous area at night. It is okay to go out there during the day casa.
Hunting and afternoons as many of the centro casas are on the Parque Bolivar area. You don't want to be in that Parque Bolivar area at night time. In some Poblado bars and nightclubs, you can find some freelancers. But, the problem is that Colombian women party in large groups, so it is super difficult to mingle with them or approach them if you are traveling alone. Most Colombian women won't approach you at a bars unless it is a strip joint, you have to do the hunting. The short and longtime deals depends on the girls and you, and how much you willing to pay. For accommodations and places, here are some options:
[URL]http://www.hotelmedellinm.com/[/URL]
This is a mongering hotel in the Poblado area. Rooms start at 120000 pesos or 60 dollars. There is a bar and there are girls on site that you can negotiate with to take to your room. You get support from other mongers. You need to Make a reservation. I tried to get in without one and it was booked most of the week. Most people in this board recommend staying here for newbies or experienced mongers.
[URL]http://colombiajake.com/[/URL]
Rooms to rent for $35 dollars in the Poblado area. You get support and other services for additional fee such as dates with Colombian girls and casa tours, other tours. I have not used Colombiajake, but it seems a pretty good option to me for a newbie who wants support and girls right away.
[URL]http://tuapartamentomde.com/[/URL]
Studio apartments in the barrio Laureles and Buenos Aires starting at $60000 pesos or 30 dollars. This option is good once you are familiar with being on your own and have learned how to navigate Medellin on your own via the public buses and El Metro train. And its not that difficult. I used this option after staying a few days in the Poblado area and after I was already familiar with many areas. I loved the apartment and being in my own place. Very private, safe, nice area, and quiet. You can bring yourprepagos here as your girlfriends or friends of course as it is your own private place.

I used one of the apartments in the Barrio Laureles near Estadio. You get your own key to the apartment and there is no door man which makes it super chica friendly. The apartment is super safe so there is no need of security. A big police station is two blocks away too. Very nice and affordable apartments in a nice middle class and safe neighborhood. The studios were about $25-30 dollars a night. With a kitchen with cooking suplies and dishes and private bathroom. The person that dealt with (Alejandro) was very professional and responsive. You pay cash when you arrive. You can pay by the day (that is what I did), week, month. He told me that the monthly rentals were much cheaper or offered at much discounted prices. They also have apartments in barrio Buenos Aires near El Centro. There was no daily cleaning or changes of sheets and towels in my apartment. The guy told me that the rentals were offered at a a considerable low price, therefore they cut the cost by cutting the daily cleaning service. But he also told me that if the apartment needed to be clean and If I needed change of sheets and towels all I needed to do was to call him and he would come with new supplies and would arrange for someone to clean. There was a mop in the place and some cleaning supplies during my stay and I did not have to call him to send someone to clean because I kept the studio clean myself. It is pretty much like having your own apartment. I liked that.
Of all the options available, don't ever consider Aunsa and watch out if he PMs you telling you that he has apartments in Medellin. He does not have any apartments in Medellin or anywhere else. He is only looking for people to scam and steal money from them, specially monger newbies.
Good luck in your trip.

Central plaza is the best hotel in the area but a little far away- 4 or 5 blocks- from the chica district. Al caravan is two blocks away from the street, so it's easy to bring girls or to go to the bars. I recommend Macedonia plaza hotel, just a block from the street. All these hotels are Clean, safe, and economic. You pay additional fee for bringing a girl if you are in a single bed room. You won't have to do this if your room is two bed room.

About Feb 4 to 8. I'm already in town. PM if you can help.
Thanks for the info Matt. I just stayed 7 nights in the Mayo at the Hotel Alcaravan, just got back about a week ago. I had no real complaints. Good internet, flat screen TV (including 2 porn channels), my own bathroom / shower, it was quiet, and most of all the price was less than $25 USD / night. The only minor complaint would be that it was a bit small. I usually did a couple of girls during the daytime and if I was up for it, knew I could take less than a 1 minute walk around the corner to the Mayo and peruse the block for a nice chica. Unfortunately, never really saw anything on this trip that was worthwhile. I didn't realize if you paid for 2 people you could bring a girl back for free. I will do that in the future. Seems like it's less than $10 to do that. Also, the decent restaurants, are you talking about in that 3 story mall area with the gate around it, on the walk between the Ayurra metro stop and the Mayo? I stopped by there a couple of times to use the ATMs, great rates by the way at the Citibank machine.

1) Small room. As you said, take a two bed room. It will be still cheap, and you won't have to pay extra fee when you bring girls. 2) Restaurants. Yes some good restaurants at market area before Ayura station. 3) Girls. Don't expect to meet a gorgeous girl at Mayo. But Mayo is a good place for chilling with friends and girls before going to bed. Just mix various plans of casas, clubs, mayo, nonpros etc. Mayo is a still good place to stay.

Hotel Central Plaza is a great option for those seeking Mayorsita -- Five minute walk. Chicas are willing to go to your hotel which is the best option.
Secure and clean. Small rooms with air conditioning and a good cable selection. Around 27 usd per night. Allows day to day payment which is a nice option in case you have a change of plans.

No doubt Central Plaza is the best hotel in the area. It is a hotel for married couples and families. You may not look awefuly sensible with a prostitute in the hotel.

Heading to MDE mid-March with a wingman. The first time for us. Doing some research but there is an abundance of info and I'm looking for any intel to assist make some decisions. Have not secured a place to stay as of yet. Can't decide on if we should do a night or 2 at Mansion and then head to an apartment in a nice area because the prices seem reasonable and I want to fit in. Unsure of what's considered a nice, safe area though. El Poblado? Any trustworthy apartments and hotels that cater to the hobby? Would like to stay close to the bar, clubs, restaurants and nightlife for easy access and the possible for some take home after hours. I've read that Parque Lleras is the place. Also, ATMs, banks, places for good exchange rates.
Just wanted to thank Jake and the rest of the people that was staying there for showing me a good time while in Medellin for the first time. Especially Hurricane Joe. I had a great time.

The beauty of having an apartment is the privacy it gives you. If you "need" to stay with 2-3 swinging dicks, then there's really no need to ever leave the mansion.

Will it cost you more since you are not able to share the costs with 2-3 other guys? Sure you will, but I'm not pinching pennies on my trip. I love being able to walk butt ass naked throughout my apartment at any time, day or night.
I once had a three bedroom apartment (was upgraded because of the availability of my original apartment), and I used one room to store my luggage, one room for fucking, and one room for sleeping in. But there are plenty of 1-2 bedroom apartments available that won't break the bank.

I've been looking for a penthouse style 2/3 bedroom with outdoor patio and indoor jacuzzi in the Laureles area and it is hard to find! Poblado has a bunch of those types of properties in airbnb, apartment medellin, and poblado rentals. But it's time to venture out. Can anyone help? Thanks.
I am planning to be in Medellin in about 3 weeks with a friend. What is a good hotel to stay at, or should we rent an apartment? First time visiting Colombia for both of us, although I have been to Latin American countries about 8 times now. Should we just stay at The Mansion for the first night, then look around? My Spanish is intermediate, his is basic, to non-existent. Looking for a Chica-friendly place, and in the middle of the best area. Or where I can find a good apartment to rent.

You need to make a reservation there cause the placed is often booked. I tried to go by just walking in in two occasions and never found a room. The place is difficult to find and make on a steep hill in the Pobladoneighborhood. Make sure you have the address: Call us directly: (USA)+1-312-546-4301 (Colombia)+57 (4) 266-8626 Carrera 43 # 2 sur-50 [URL]http://hotelmedellinplaza.com/rooms.html[/URL].
There are cheap (About $20 USD per night) chica friendly hotels right on the heart of the Mayorista area. I have not stayed in the hotels bellow, but I plan to in my next trip and some ISG members have given them good reviews: 1) Hotel Macedonia Plaza Hotel Macedonia Plaza [URL]http://www.despegar.com.co/hoteles/h...plaza-medellin[/URL] at Carrera 50 A No. 84 A - 03 Itagui, Medellíand +574 362 2121 : +574 596 5533 and 2) Hotel Alcaraban [URL]http://www.hotelalcaravan.com/home.html[/URL] Carrera 50 A 84 - 09 Itag Tel: (57 - 4) 285 1000 Cel: 314 865 28 84 Colombia, Medellin. And 3) Hotel Central Plaza [URL]http://www.hotelcentralplazamedellin.com/[/URL] at Carrera 50 # 81 A - 15 Itaqui PBX: (57) (4) 3623380 Cel: 311 375 2993 Colombia, Medellin. The Central Plaza is the best hotel in that area but is not that conducive to bringing a chica, all depending on who is on the desk and also is a far walk to the Mayorista area. If I were you, I would make a trip to the Mayorista area and check the noted hotels before doing any booking and and book only if you would like to stay there.
For apartments I recommend this [URL]http://tuapartamentomde.com/[/URL] you can make a reservation on that site or through [URL]booking.com[/URL]. They have studio or larger apartments in the Laureles and Buenos Aires barrios. Laureles is a middle class neighborhood and very safe. I booked there and loved it. Super quiet and private. You get your own key to the place and you rarely see the neighbors. You pay when you get the keys. The place is very cheap or less than 30 USD per night. They don't do daily cleaning or daily changing of sheets / towels thought but if you staying for several days you could ask the guy for regular cleaning and for clean towels and sheets when you need them. The place has all the utensil require for cooking and the guy (Alejandro) that I dealed with was very professional and responsible. Whenever I called him or texted him, he responded quickly. The place is very conducive to bringing friends or prepagos because is your apartment and no porters around or no obnoxious neighbors / owners in the building.
Good luck in your trip,

Does anyone have an apartment rental to share 4/26 to 4/30? 2015. Bedroom & pvt bath. Poblado, Castropol etc. Thanks, I will monitor PMs.
I've been looking at Hotel Casa Victoria, Carrera 32 # 1 sur - 13 - does anyone know if it is girl-friendly?
I check-in in Hotel Lleras 10, calle 10 number 40. It is very close to Parque Lleras and chicas friendly. New hotel with modern and confortable room, staff speak english. Price for standard room is 179000 pesos (call the hotel to book, price on [URL]booking.com[/URL] is much higher).
This penthouse seems perfect for 3 amigos; 2. 5 M COP / all inclusive.
A room often costs 800.000, this is a much better option if 2 other guys can be found that are honest and friendly; there's still a lot of space enough for each ego.
[URL]http://apartamentosamoblados1a.webs.com/[/URL]
[URL]www.facebook.com/santiago.fonseca.3367[/URL]
Apartments runs 1. 5 M COP and above so it's half the price, a nd if not Fxxx up, a very much better deal, and living; with option to have parties with "babes".
(sorry. I posted this in wrong thread before).
Guys, I need help. I am in MDE on business and with several associates that do not monger. I can do a quick getaway in the afternoon but I don't have time to take a taxi all the way to Centro. Can any of you suggest a decent short time place close to Poblado? It does not have to be in Poblado. The girl I am planning on doing is a non pro and I don't want to take her to a total dive. I have been to MDE many times but never had this issue as I always have apartments and mostly travel solo or with like minded friends. Thank you for any help.

V[/QUOTE]Don't know if you have time to do this, and it's certainly not a cheap option, but you can try to make a second reservation or rent an apartastudio nearby your hotel for a night or two. Just type your hotel address in google maps and see what's nearby; or search for "apartaestudio" in airbnb or google.
Off the top of my head, there's Motel Ibiza Lounge for short time; although it's not really close to Poblado, it might be feasible. It's a high-end love motel if you want to impress her, but it may not be the most economical option. Prices as per the web site range from 76-105,000 COP for a 6-hour block of time, not including the extra-special rooms. That's actually a good deal if you use the full 6 hours, LOL, but probably not an option for you given your situation!
Ibiza is right off the autopista and close to the Mayorista (upper Itagui by the river). Driving south, you'll pass the disco Fahrenheit, then the highway entrance and exit to the Mayorista, then the motel comes up. There's large signage for all these spots so you can't miss it; not ideally close to Poblado, but at least you can avoid being stuck in the street traffic of centro.
Look it up on the internet, it is called, LOS Chalets motel. It is around El Poblado. It is the only motel I'm Medellin that has A / see. Let us know how it went.

Thank you guys. (Phunluv, voyager and WT69). I ended up using Motel Ibiza. It was exactly as Phunluv described. Easy to get to. Classy place. Total privacy. No ID checks or signing in. Room and two bottles of Smirnoff ice was 92000 pesos. That was with a jacuzzi room music and variety of mood lighting. Good beds, very clean. Impressed.

This place has a totally pimped put "mansion" room that looks like a drug lord's idea of a harem / playground, LOL! At least on the pics shown in the web site. Next time I'm in Medallin, would love to split it with another guy or two, each of us bringing 2 or 3 girls. The actual starter price of the room is not that bad, if the quote on the web site is true, but of course, a party like that you can spend double or triple the room cost in booze and food, not to mention the fees for the chicas. So it would be an expensive night of debauchery, even if split 2 or 3 ways, but I've always wanted to do something (at least once) on an epic scale!

Hi guys,
How to avoid sales tax in Colombia hotels?
Last time, a hotel staff told me it depends on the type of stamp on the passport on entry? (eg PIP 6 stamp on passport always entails sales tax on hotel booking).
I thought if one is not a resident or a citizen, its naturally not to be applied to us.
Comments?
[QUOTE=Havana927;1734510]Just booked my flight for first week in September, its my first time going to medellin, I speak spanish, But has anyone used air bnb.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]I used to use them a lot but they are more of a pain these days. They will want lots of ID including probably your passport. The way to use it perhaps is to find an offer you like and try to contact the owner / emails and web addresses will be auto-deleted from messages but sometimes an owner will give you some keywords to search for his website or some other way to contact him. Works for him too as AirBnB take a massive chunk of the rent.
Art Hotel looks very nice, but can anyone recommend somewhere a bit less expensive and still in a decent location for mongering please?

Planning on visiting Medellin soon, has anyone had experiences at the following hotels and know if they are chica-friendly? Previous reports indicate yes, but I don't know how often policies change in Medellin as the Four Points used to be chica-friendly at one point but not anymore.
-LE Parc.
-Park 10.
-Hotel Poblado Plaza.
Looking at prices, I'm surprised at how cheap hotels are in Medellin compared to Bogota (was there a couple weeks ago). The Art Hotel is also an option, and it looks pretty nice too despite some recent negative trip advisor reviews. Any info on the above would be greatly appreciated. I do plan on booking for 2 as always.
If you book a room for 2 people at Park 10 hotel, the first guest you bring back will not see an issue. However, if you bring someone else then it's a $55 per guest charge. So this would qualify as non-guest friendly. I had booked this place as it seemed nice and previously it was mentioned as a chica-friendly hotel. This seems to have changed though, and there will be a charge if you decide to bring someone else after your "first" guest. The lobby is small and you walk right past the front desk, you can try to be discrete which was my plan last night but the front desk clerk was the same one as the night before and recognized the chica was different. I'm still here for a few more days, so I'm considering changed to LE Parc or another hotel to see how that goes. Overall the Park 10 is nice, it looks a bit dated but the beds are comfortable and the shower pressure is excellent. There is also a nice restaurant on-site that would be a good for your first date. The second date would just be worth $55 extra due to hotel policies. .
Hi Guys,
Do couples ever stay at Medellin Mansion?
Also, what is the pricing like for the pros that frequent the Mansion?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Helpmann.[/QUOTE]Over 14 visits, I have twice encountered couples staying at the Mansion / Castillo, so I'm assuming it's still allowed. Two people, however, are charged more for a room.
Typical rate for an hour or two with a girl at the Mansion is 150 K pesos, but there is no set rate. It's whatever you agree on with the girl.
Charging visitors to Colombia that extra 16 per cent is, I understand, illegal. If you use [URL]booking.com[/URL] it's not very clear. Just refuse to pay it.

My apologies for not being clear.[/QUOTE]El Poblado is the "upscale" part of town, lots of visitors stay in that area and lots of hotel choices. As for what is girl friendly, you should know that all hotels are girl friendly. Now, assuming that you want to bring a girl back to your hotel. She has to register at the front desk (unless you get by unnoticed) and there might be a charge, that's what most want to know (if there's a charge or not). You could really take a look at any hotel in El Poblado, and just make sure to book a room for 2. When you check-in, you might be asked if your second guest is with you. If she's not, just say something like she's running a little late and will be joining me in a bit. That's what I do anyways. As for which hotels charge and which don't, it's really hit or miss but from my experience most hotels will charge you if you have more than one girl come by. The Art Hotel seems to be more friendly and does not charge, the girl just has to register. I've stayed at Park 10 which is a nice hotel, but the guest must register and if it's a different guest than the one that registered first they will charge you. Hotel Diez de Categoria, hit or miss. I've gotten by with a couple, but that was because the front desk guy was on the phone and didn't say anything as we walked by to the elevator. The next night, another front desk guy was asking each couple their room number and verifying their names. So if you're discrete, you can get lucky. In the worst case you can just ask the chica if she knows of a short-time hotel, and take care of your business there.
I usually book my hotels on website such as Expedia but now is a good time to book hotels on Colombian websites since the prices are in pesos and pesos are dropping fast again US $.
Anyone know any Colombian Travel websites?
Are there any reliable cheap, but secure places near Motel Ibiza? I planned my outing a little poorly and have nowhere to stay Aug 28 - Aug 30. Hotel Ibiza looks great and I'm hoping I can HQ at a cheap place during during the daytime and go to Ibiza after the evening activities for the enhanced environment.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]Motel Ibiza is at the other end of the Mayorista market, so you should be able to find a decent inexpensive (up to 65.000 COP / Night) room around the corner from the Mayorista hooker street. Central Plaza, Monarca & El Caravan (double check my spelling) amongst a few smaller ones. Try [URL]booking.com[/URL], I think a few of them are on there. Then it's a long 20-30min walk across the massive Mayorista Central but it is pretty safe. The Motel Ibiza people might give you a strange look since you did not arrive in a car or motorbike but who cares. There is some eateries & supermarkets inside the Mayorista Central too.

I know there are many recommendations for hotels in here. I am coming for the first time around the 17-23 and would appreciate ideas for gringo bars and a hotel close to them. I don't know the city at all. I want to minimize taxi. $30-50 for hotel would be desirable and chica friendly.
I sent a message to Aussie Greg thinking about staying there but have gotten no response. Not sure how else to contact him. Looks like the vip place might be similar. For a first trip I want to keep it simple. I have been to Cartagena and Santa Marta so I am used to Colombia a little.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. I have RTF but the gringo bars / hotel combo is a bit more complex.
The closest thing to a Gringo Bar would be in El Pablato, but the hotels will cost a little more.
Check the map and see where the action is and look at the hotel list.

There is or was a Shooters, but it would not be necessarily be a gringo bar.
Maybe there is one or two gringos, but not a hot hangout.

I made my way over to the poblado area. Looks interesting. Will go back later when bars open up. Waiting to hear from someone I met on the plane that has been here a few times. Will check out casas or clubs later.
FYI. Hotel Central Plaza was $18 roughly for a double bed. Small but sufficent. 8 k to Calle 10 in Poblado by taxi.
I am assuming the hard rock is a waste of time?
Went by the old mansion. Not too friendly and would not let me look inside. Referred me to the web.

56 k and change. There are a few cheaper a block or two down the street but it starts getting into the local bar scene. More noise.

And I thought I'd give a few more details. On the website, they list two locations, one in Laureles and a slightly cheaper one in barrio Buenos Aires (a large, middle class neighborhood west of downtown, roughly as far from Centro as Laureles is.) I was interested in checking out the one in BA, but they wouldn't let me. They implied it's more of a hotel than apartment, but otherwise wouldn't give much info. And I prefer the private access, no doorman / receptionist, in the Laureles building.
I stayed at the Laureles location, but never got to talk to the owner (except briefly by phone.) It's right next to the Nutibara restaurant strip, on a quieter side street. I had 1 bedroom apartment (not a studio) for 60 K per night. It was clean, well-furnished, good kitchen, wifi. No hot water. The windows went into the hallway and the interior of the building (an outdoor corridor), so not a lot of sunlight or ventilation. It was fine for a few days, but I would have wanted a room with street-facing windows for longer term. I paid the cleaning lady for the room (she wrote up an impromptu contract on a blank piece of paper for me to sign) and she didn't know anything about monthly prices or other room availability, and like I said I didn't meet the boss.
I had a few girls over for afternoon visits, and while the cleaning lady saw me walking with them and seemed embarrassed, it was never mentioned.
I'm going to Medellin for the first time in a few weeks. I have a couple of friends who will be there staying at the Hotel Nutibara at Calle 52 A. That hotel is somewhat old and I am looking for a better hotel in the area in the $75-$100 range. Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming that's $75 - 100 a night, which is cheap for hotels and I've found Colombia overall (CTG being the exception) cheap for nice hotels. Your risk is only that at nicer hotels, you might face an issue with bringing back a chica (you can bring her back, but you might get charged.) This is really a hit or miss, always register a room for 2 people (assuming it's you and want a chica to join you) and mention to the check-in desk that your girlfriend will join you shortly (if you are by yourself). You'll be fine getting the first girl in, and they'll register at the front desk with their cedula / passport. Now if you bring back another girl, you'll probably face a problem but if your hotel has a nice large lobby, is busy, and you can walk to the elevators discreetly then you may not face a problem at all. Or you can avoid all this by renting an apartment or staying at the Mansion. It's your first time, and the latter is highly recommended if you don't speak spanish very well.
I don't know of any nice hotels downtown, though there may be some. Just a couple of metro stops away (and there is a metro right near the Hotel Nutibara) is Hotel Parque 70 Medellin.

It's actually in the area near the stadium called La 70, again very near the Metro stop El Estadio. I loved this place, and the night life there is great.

Hi folks! Long time lurker, first time poster. I have Costa Rica, Thailand, Mexico, and some Islands under my belt. Now looking at Medellin. I am a smoker (I know not good for me). I have looked at various apartments, and hotels recommended on this site and others. It seems most of the better places to stay frown upon smoking. I do like to lay in bed after sex and have a smoke, because I don't eat jelly beans (old Redd Foxx joke). Any recommendations other than not smoking?
Thank you!

I was browsing another site a while back and the Admin posted this book in its entirety. That's not appropriate here but the author offers it free for you to read. If you ever put on a condom while you are carrying a passport in another man's country, it's a Must Read IMHO.
It took me a few days but it's worth every moment if you are a monger / hobbyist. Whatever your background and financial status, it would be wise to consider hers through the lens of this text.
She has a life when you aren't in front of her and it would be wise to consider what that life entails. Private Dancer will give you some insight into the prepago's world of ego gratification from being desired by throngs of men (that no Hot woman can deny is a HUGE turn on. And knows she is losing to the 18-20 year olds when she herself hits 25 years of age), partying / drug use / alcohol abuse, and money that falls through their hands like water. Add to that to the lack of professional training (via wasted youth as a hooker) in a business related field, and you have the recipe for a woman who is used to lying to clients and family, generally has very poor money management skills, and isn't big on taking responsibility for, or seeing the upcoming consequences of her life choices.

I hope I won't lose my ISG Monger Library Card by posting this. Can't PM Jackson to ask permission.

Anyone know of an available apartment from now to the end of the month?
Taking a trip to MDE but this time I'm going solo. Figured I'd do a short stint at the "Mansion" since I've never stayed there before and wanted to experience it and meet up with some like minded folks. Hopefully get a Friday / Saturday to catch an event or party. As I have read that it can be a little dead if nothing is going on. Then make my way to an apartment. Order of stay depends on Mansion availability.
Just seeing if anyone had any recent experience staying here and what they thought. I've read from posts that some patrons see the same faces and not too many new faces.
Suggestions on preferred rooms there? M1 or M2? Also, is this the same place that was Casablanca?
Thanks all.
I am seriously considering going to Medellin in a couple weeks, I am able to get very good deals on hotels through expedia but it states on every hotel that I click on the total to pay now and then a tax and resort fee due at the hotel. My question is to those that have booked a hotel online in Medellin wether you had to pay this tax, because after doing some research I'm under the impression that foreigners do not need to pay this tax. Or do you pay and then get the money back at the airport, please could someone clarify.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if any one had issues / experience with using [URL]booking.com[/URL] to book for Hotel Central plaza. Do they book on the phone. I read review someone said they didn't honor the rates mentioned on the site and actually got charged more.
Any info is really appreciated.
I was researching the forum for a budget option (less than $20 aday) in centro near Parque Berro station for a trip in Jan. Hotel Premier Plaza came up a number of times months back and I was wondering if anyone would like to share some of their experience with this place. I don't really need much creature comforts. Just a comfortable bed, a clean / functional bathroom, and some decent security. I tried to google the establishment but it seems there is no website. (not surprising) I am assuming it is an all cash place which I am okay with. Ideally I'm looking for a email address to reserve a room. But is it a hotel that even takes reservations? If anyone has any info please let me know.
Thank you.
Nice clean safe hotel near Rio Negro or the airport?

Me and my bud enjoyed our time very much and also the company of pre-screened beauties.
Only reason I left earlier because I am used to sleeping in cold and Jake doesn't have AC. Then again you don't quite need an AC in MDE.
Thanks Jake and Eric.
I originally booked the Estelar Blue but somehow the booking through [URL]Booking.com[/URL] was not honored and I was put in this hotel. I booked the room as a single which saves money because I usually do not like to have the chica spend the night. If a chica is over for a short time, there is no charge. If she stays the night it is 40000 pesos. I probably saw 10 or 12 prepagos in the lobby during my stay. I would say it is primary a businessman's hotel although there are few tourists. 9 to 1 would be a good guess.
Currently the Milla De Oro is in a construction zone so it can be fairly noisy if you are trying to take a midday nap. I had the executive room which is two rooms. The advantage is that it is a corner room so you do not have a common wall for the bedroom.
Place is fairly quiet. I rarely heard or saw another guest. So even though you see the prepagos in the lobby, the guys were not throwing parties in the rooms.
Do you know if the Gran Hotel or Hotel Nutibara is chica-friendly? Is there a chica fee?

[QUOTE=Global00;1846912]Do you know if the Gran Hotel or Hotel Nutibara is chica-friendly? Is there a chica fee?[/QUOTE]From the WT69 list, the Grand Hotel [URL]http://www.granhotel.com.co/[/URL] is noted as chica friendly. The hotel Nutibara [URL]http://hotelnutibara.com/[/URL] is also noted in the list as chica friendly, but a previous poster's review.
Indicated that it has as guess (normal people) friendly policy but not chica (puta) friendly and that the putas he called did not want to visit the Nutibara hotel because of their unfriendliness to putas. Even thought,
The Hotel Nutibara is in the centro area of Medellin, I have not seen putas hanging out at the entrance of the Nutibara. The nutibara seems to be a hotel gear to towards the Colombian tourists, business travelers.
And families. I think you could bring girls to Nutibara just like in any other normal hotel, but discreetly and disguised as your girlfriend (not the obvious hooker) and pay the two people accommodation rate.
[QUOTE=MrFurley;1801655]Taking a trip to MDE but this time I'm going solo. Figured I'd do a short stint at the "Mansion" since I've never stayed there before and wanted to experience it and meet up with some like minded folks. Hopefully get a Friday / Saturday to catch an event or party. As I have read that it can be a little dead if nothing is going on. Then make my way to an apartment. Order of stay depends on Mansion availability.
Just seeing if anyone had any recent experience staying here and what they thought. I've read from posts that some patrons see the same faces and not too many new faces.
Suggestions on preferred rooms there? M1 or M2? Also, is this the same place that was Casablanca?
Thanks all.[/QUOTE]MrFurley,
I too want to visit MDE and stay at the Mansion. Can you please respond with your experience or PM me.
Thanks,
Mirliton.

I stayed in La Setenta for three nights at the Plaza 70 just a block from the Estadio metro station. I found it on [URL]booking.com[/URL] for less than $20 a night. It was a fair price but I found out that comparable lodging could be found in the area for less. A Canadian woman I met good a deal just two doors down at Hotel Florida and her digs were pretty much the same. Basic, a bit worn, but clean. There was also the Hotel Villa Real on La 70, that was recommended here. I did send a reservation request via their website but never got an answer.
Now we have hear the argument for waiting until you get to town and checking your options out in person. Some feel you get a better price. But if you are a first timer to a town it isn't a bad idea to have accommodation lived up. It was raining steady when I arrived and all I did was get out of the cab at the curb. The Canadian woman I met (and lightly romanced a bit) had to walk around in the rain looking at options. I was glad I had made reservations and have a that upon passing immigration. I was asked where I was staying, so it was good that I was able to my hotel name name and address.
When visiting Aiffe I found a nice looking, modern hotel around the corner, Hotel Brisas de San Francisco. They don't have a website but they are on Facebook. This hotel is a block from three different casas at Calle 56, #41-114. I'm not sure what the area is like at night, but this neighborhood, which I believe is called LOS Angeles, seems to be a cut above the rest of Medellin. But, what do I know?

Two decent economy hotels on either side and on back street so plenty of options on that one block of La 70.
Immigration always asked where your staying but never for documentation. Just name of hotel or private apt and general address will do.

BTW, I did see the guy in the wheelchair there at the top of La 70, but he was with some dicey looking characters and a cute, chica who looked like she would rather be somewhere else. I kept walking.
I found the business card I got at Hotel Brisas de San Francisco. They do in fact have a webpage: [URL]http://hoteleriaenmedellin.com/sitio/hotel-brisas-de-san-fransisco[/URL].
Inquires can be mailed to [EMAIL]info@hoteleriaenmedellin.com[/EMAIL] or to [EMAIL]hotelbrisasdesanfrancisco@gmail.com[/EMAIL].
They take all major credit cards! I might have to spend a night or two there next time, as they are a block from New Life, Aiffe and I counted 7 other day casas on Member #4394's map within two or three blocks! I've found rates online in the $18 range for two adults. Not bad for a new, modern hotel. The coffee shop on the corner made me the best cup of coffee I ever had! I'm gagging on a coffee I just got from Starbucks. Juan Valdez, you bastard, you have gotten me hooked!
Just not close to the metro. But, for someone who is tired of cabbing to the day casas, this could be the ticket, plus I want to explore the area down the hill. It doesn't look too bad. Strolling down towards Parque Bolivar, I passed a gaggle of well-groomed trannies conversing on a corner. When they saw me, all they did was giggle and bat their fake-eyelashes at me. I think they were just living the life, not soliciting anything. Made some good flirty eye contact with some local women in the shops on Carerra 46, just normal women but they seemed interested. I have to learn Spanish!
FYI, I just booked a room at the 5-star Dann Carlton Medellin, a block from Parque Lleras for COP $242,440/ US $83. That's just unbelievably cheap to me. Will definitely keep in mind how strong the US dollar is now and think in COP when I'm there, as numerous posters here have suggested so that I don't mess with the curve.
COP $500 k / girl is OK, right?
Kidding. COP $150 k-$200 k for hotties is what I've surmised from the 50+ pages I've read. Really appreciate all the help.
Hey guys,
I am have an extra room available for much cheaper than all these hotels. Feel free to PM me if interested. Has a pool, gym, etc. Photos attaches. I am a recent med school grad enjoying some much deserved vacation.
Best,
King
[QUOTE=Cursnoop;1838979]The Charlee, but I heard they charge for chicas, but if you chica is fly and can dress let her go to the Envy Bar on the roof and meet her there get her a drink and take her to you room.[/QUOTE]I never stayed there, but I have been to the roof top restaurant many times. Maybe I am a nice guy, but I have taken women that I know to have dinner up there 3 or 4 times. I was never stopped from getting in to the elevator. Once you are in the elevator, ain't nobody going to stop you from going in to your room. Or worse case scenario is you say you are going to have dinner at the restaurant upstairs. But I guess if it it 3 AM or something and it is closed you can't use that excuse. I think the hotel is so damn expensive that they don't want to embarrass themselves or you by asking you about your woman.
I would say the Charlee hotel is safe to bring a girl in to, unless you somehow have a very slutty looking woman. Most women in Medellin dress better than decent. I have stayed at the San Fernando Plaza and that place is very nice. I only brought a woman in one time, and I didn't have an issue. I don't think they will stop you there.
[QUOTE=Aunsa;1649443][u][b]EDITOR's NOTE[/b][/u]: [blue]I have read several forum posts and received additional emails complaining about Aunsa's business practices, including allegations that he has been [u]"renting" apartments that do not exist or that he does not own[/u], and his repeated [u]failures to return rental reservation deposits[/u] for said apartments. Accordingly, I have revoked Aunsa's right to advertise or otherwise promote any apartment rentals or to post any other offers of commerce on the forum. Please govern yourself accordingly. Thanks, [i]Jackson[/i][/blue][/QUOTE]I have met this guy, and he chauffeured me all over Bogota with his taxi friend. He gave me many free rides, we went to restaurants together, went to brothels, hung out in the clubs in Santa Fe, he showed me many, many places. In Santa Fe he pointed to some taxis and said don't use those guys, they will get you robbed. His taxi buddy was really friendly and watched out for me when Aunsa wasn't around. They never asked for taxi money.
He is friends with many local cops. We actually partied with many off-duty Bogota Cops one night. We went to the clubs that those cops patrol and we went in to those clubs bringing our own bottles of liquor that we bought for cheap. Some of those clubs got mad, but the senior cop would yell at them, and the people at the bar new these cops would just return the next night and give them hell. I felt like I was partying with the mafia. He showed me some very dangerous places that cops don't want to go, showed me where to find hitmen, etc, etc.
I ended up trusting this guy after hanging out with him for a few days. I said I was going to Medellin and he said he has apartments that he rents there and Brazil for some reason. He wanted a deposit, and a driver would pick me up in Medellin. Well, he ripped me off, and I was a little afraid to come out here saying anything. He was cool in person, but once you leave Bogota forget it. He later told me he'd send me the money Western Union, then I'd go to Western Union and they told me there is nothing there for me. Then he said he'd send it again. I wasted my time going to Western Union looking like a fool 3 times. He also said he had a very rich friend that lived an hour away from Bogota, a rich retired French man. They had special parties once in awhile where they bring in lots of ladies, and you just hang out and screw any of them that you like, anytime that you like at his mansion. I just had to contribute some money for the ladies. He got me on that also. He got me pretty good. That's all I want to say about that.
He looks to be of Arab decent, but he speaks with a London accent. I also seen he had lots of ads on Craigslist. I was going to try to catch him with Craigslist, but I decided I don't want to me messing around with people in Bogota. My advice is don't be paying anything to anyone until you are there in person, well, I saw him in person, but use a known reputable person, or Airbnb or hotel or something.
He ripped me off in late 2014. I am just finally putting this out there since I see his gig is up. I wouldn't be surprised if he is still doing this kind of stuff if he hasn't been arrested yet. He went by the name Ricky Farooq. He would always be using the guys on the street that you can't rent their cell phones for a few minutes. That was probably part of his scheme about something else.

Have not tried to bring in a girl in yet. But I am interested to see how they will react when I start bringing in chicas that look very slutty and many of them!
(I hope they do not try to charge me, because I booked a 2 adult room using my reward nights for the duration of my stay).
First night here and the entrance is like a runway of offices to get to the elevator and do not like the cat walk theme to the elevator. HAHAHAHA.

Hotel update:
Went by Dorado this morning; nice hotel, three stars, spacious entrance. At the front desk was told the chica fee is 58 C pesos, so I went to the hotel next door, Hotel Portico, they said 23 P for bringing in a chica. Hotel Portico is not as nice or elegant as Dorado and less expensive at 58 P a night. Walked across the street and checked out Hotel Lyon; this place charges the same chica fee and same price for a room as Portico. What was interesting about Lyon is that it seems to draw younger people, has the feel of a hostel, but the receptionist said it is a hotel. All these hotels are on Ca 70 by the Metro Estadio with lots of nightclubs in the area.

Luna Lunera is a disco/strip club, an expensive one, located on Ave 33, not on Ave El Poblado. Beers are 15K and drinks are 50K, with a 50K cover. He would spend more in one night there than a doorman makes in a week. La Isla, also known as The Girls, is on the road to the airport, but a long way from the airport. It is just outside Poblado. It is a bar/strip club on the expensive side. Barra Ejecutiva is a bar/strip club in El Centro, but not expensive. My guess is that he and the busboy are expecting the wealthy gringo to pay for everything.
After looking at the map, Hotel Inntu is about the same distance from Luna Lunera as from the Estadio metro station.
On another note, I know we should all know some Spanish before going to Medellin, but it is much easier to type 70 that Setenta. Cra 70 is known as La 70 to many people. Just picking on you, not malicious!
We calculated (the doorman and I) that he makes between $250-$300 a month + tips. This is for working 6 days a week! The busboy makes even less. Neither of them can afford a smartphone, they go to some store to use whatsapp. Seems like they were just bragging. From talking to young people in their 20's, it seems like the pay is shit here. Even young professionals have problems obtaining a living wage. A 25 yr old accountant with a college degree and 2 yrs work experience told me she makes the equivalent of $550 mo. Working full time for a Toyota sub. On and on. Now it makes sense to me why young women are willing to spread their legs for $15 for a half HR of service.

American or European). Minimum wage is around 700 k pesos a month. And the thing is, a lot of Paisas make less than that, sometimes way less.
Like it or not, you are a target here. Act stupid and throw around a lot of money and you become a bigger target. Be very wary of young Colombian males trying to "befriend" you.
Yes, they are making only little based on the exchange rate in the currency market. It is correct, and I do not disagree with it. But the prices of goods and services in Colombia are much cheaper than those in the USA. So the Colombian income in terms of the exchange rate based on Purchase Power Parity would be a more realistic indicator.
But anyway they are making so little. All colombians approaching to gringos want something, ie. They may want to steal from you, they may want you to buy beer, buy something from him, marry his daughter, etc. So, overall, it would be better off to distance yourself from locals, just overall. Plus, they do not offer any interesting conversations. Saddly they are not educated or sophisticated like westerners. Their knowledge about the world and their own society is pretty limited, and many of them talk ignorant or silly things. Just be polite to the Colombian people, but you better not involve with them over all. Have fun with girls, and enjoy learning the language and culture in Medellin.

Plus, they do not offer any interesting conversations. Saddly they are not educated or sophisticated like westerners. Their knowledge about the world and their own society is pretty limited, and many of them talk ignorant or silly things. Just be polite to the Colombian people, but you better not involve with them over all. Have fun with girls, and enjoy learning the language and culture in Medellin.

While the Paisas most of us will deal with fit your description (not educated, interesting, or sophisticated), there are some who definitely do not fit that generalization. I have a friend in the US who is originally from MDE. He is very well-educated and he has introduced me to friends and relatives in MDE who also are. Of course these folks would cringe if they knew I frequently stay at the Mansion, hit the Centro Casas, etc. (though they might do it on the sly themselves!).
Stereotyping every Colombian is not fair or accurate. That said, your point is very valid. It's wise to avoid anything beyond casual association with most Colombian men that you meet. Not only do they see you as an easy target. It's also likely that they detest that you pay "their" women for sex more than they might earn in a week.
I agree with you. As it is clear, I talked about a majority, not the all, population, which does not include my physicians and some professionals I have relationships with and I respect.
P.s. Do you really think your friends don't know? Perhaps they pretend that they do not know so you won't be embarrassed?

Just don't bring it home, take care of the home and food for their kids, and life goes on.
In our western culture so much is placed on "love", that sex for just the pleasure of sex is a dirty thing for sluts and promiscuous woman, wrong, it's us westerners that are really screwed up in the brain for this belief system, in Colombia sex is a biological need at its most basic level and so by far the men do it and they women bar far accept this as a fact of life, just don't fall in love and don't disrespect me or my home with bringing her around.

This list is quite useful. Is it the norm for hotels in Medellin to be chica friendly? I've been going through the pages and there is not a definitive list for fellow forum participants to refer to. Being a newbie to Medellin, seeing such a wide choice of accommodation I wouldn't want to be restricted to only a handful of places to stay. Saying that from what I have read only the M specifically invites WGs to the hotel to ply their business to patrons which sounds too good to turn down.

He is married and his wife is an architect. He is back and Medellin and have a condo in the nicer area and a a huge mansion outside of Medellin. I saw some pictures of the house, it looks like something from a magazine. There are a lot more Colombians who are equally educated or better in Colombia, though like most countries there may be a big divide between the rich and the poor and who can afford higher education. This is true in USA too where families have to live on food stamps and live day to day. Of course, chances of highly educated women working the streets in centro is higly unlikely, except in Cuba!
Anyone have any experience staying here? I read some god reviews but not sure if it's chica friendly. I called them and they said if a guest stays more then few hours they charge 30 k pesos.
[QUOTE=Debonair00;1907235]Anyone have any experience staying here? I read some god reviews but not sure if it's chica friendly. I called them and they said if a guest stays more then few hours they charge 30 k pesos.[/QUOTE]I stayed there in October / November 2015. It is indeed chica friendly. Here's what I said on a travel-related website:
"Single gentlemen, you might be wondering, "Is Hotel Sites chica friendly?" The answer is yes, but remember that when you make your reservation, make it for two people and not one. If you make a reservation for two people and then bring your chica back to your room, the additional cost is only 7,500 COP. However, if you make your reservation for one person and then bring your chica back to your room, the additional cost is a much-higher 100,000 COP. "
I also said:
"Hotel Sites is conveniently located in El Poblado, with a 7-minute walk to a nearby Exito supermarket, a 9-minute walk to the Poblado Metro station, a 10-minute walk to Parque Lleras, and a 12-minute walk to Oviedo Mall. And although the hotel is located in a safe area of Medellin, a 24-hour security guard is positioned on-site. A handful of restaurants and cafes are also in the near-immediate vicinity of the hotel. "
It's a solid hotel. Julian is a receptionist there and he's a cool guy who speaks great English. Hope all of this information helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I called them and they said if a guest stays more then few hours they charge 30 k pesos.[/QUOTE]I stayed at the hotel in April of this year for one night. I was impressed with the hotel, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff too. I booked for two people and was asked about the second person at time of registration. I told them I may have a friend come later. One chica came for an hour visit. A few hours later I had a second chica visit for about 3 hours. When my guests arrived at the hotel, reception made a copy of their ID and that was it. At checkout, I was asked about the second person in my room. I just told him I had some visitors for a short time. I don't recall being charged a fee but could be because neither stayed overnight. The receptionists I encountered in the evening and early morning spoke English. In my experience the hotel was chica friendly. Well, one chica at a time friendly.
If anyone is looking for a place to stay and are worried about chica fees and what not. I stay at a great place in Poblado. It is more like an extended stay type place. But it is a full apartment with a kitchen and a balcony. No one cares who you bring in and out. I got pretty loud in there a couple times partying all night and no one said a word. I don't want to put the name here yet. I don't know what the etiquette is here yet for something like that. But you can get an apartment here for $50 a night. That includes breakfast and lunch. They clean your room daily and wash your clothes for you. I smoked marijuana in the room constantly and no one said a word, either. You would be hard pressed to find a place as friendly as this. I don't have a paid account on here, so I don't know if people can PM me. But if someone can tell me the proper protocol, I will post it here if that is the right thing to do.

Hotel Loyds is a good hotel but not girl friendly. I do mostly short term at the locations (casa's, clubs, etc.). The guys at reception told us, since we payed for two persons, we can bring one girl, who must register. If another girl other than then the one who is registered, she will not be allowed in. The reception guy was cool about it. By the way, the showers at this hotel is by far the best shower of any hotel I have been in. On my last night I did bring a girl back with no problems.

But a former guest stated on December 12, 2015:
"Worst hotel ever! Spended here 3 nights and it was worst time ever. Sleeping with Earplugs isn't enough to escape from the music till 5:00 AM people having loud sex and hearing the TV from the reception. Its worst Isolated hotel I've ever seen. Staff at reception wasn't willing to solve problem and unfriendly. Asked for airport transport night before departure at pickup time no taxi nothing, turns out no phone call was made as we requested. Location was OK but hotel totally overrated."
And someone on April 27,2016 said:
"I had $200 stolen from the room safe after staying a night- the thief must have used the master key and is probably a staff member. After making an official police report-2 months later they still haven't given me information from the CCTV."
Glad it worked out for you, though, QuackUp.
That sounds like a great place. What Are the names of places similar to the place you described? I am looking for Poblado area spot guest friendly around $65 a night.

Thanks for all of the feedback.[/QUOTE]There are dance clubs near Parque Lleras on Calle 10, and one (Blue) on Calle 10 A. Those are young crowds. I'm an oldie, so I don't go to any of them. Your chances of meeting a lady in a club or on the street and taking her to where ever you are staying are very slim. There may be a few P4 P chicas in the dance clubs, but they are usually out with their girlfriends and are not looking to hook up.
I meet all my companion chicas on Facebook. Most of them are only available during the day because they are single mothers. Taxis are plentiful and cheap, so you should not be walking at night, except around Parque Lleras and on LA 70 in Laureles. Both are safe areas. You can go to strip clubs at night, but you have to pay a rather hefty fee to take the dancers out. They have rooms at the strip clubs, so you don't need to pay the take-out fee.
Apartments to rent from daily to monthly.

Myself and two friends will be headed to Medellin in March 2017. I have looked at apartments on airbnd vs staying in hotels. Any suggestions or thoughts. Are the apartments better for bringing chica's back?
Terra Biohotel, Calle 35 #64 A-92.
It appears to be a new construction, just a short ways from Luna Lunera. Looks like $50/ night for double occupancy with free breakfast. All the amenities plus air conditioning and free bicycle use if you feel like pedaling around the park.
You can find it on [URL]Booking.com[/URL] or their website [URL]http://www.terrabiohotel.com[/URL].
Might be an alternative for some.
Heading down for my third trip, 6 weeks this time. Will spend the first four nights at the Mansion to hang with a bud in town and freshen up my Facebook list. After that want to apartment it.
Want something secure, decent, quiet and no hastles with bringing back Chicas. Many airbnb specifically say 'no prostitutes'. Love something close to a Metro but in a good location perhaps Laureles. Any suggestions?
Is there a difference between staying in Mansion 1 or Mansion 2? Is there one that's better than the other or not worth the stay? Also is it normal for the website to not be able to accept reservations? It appears you have to email your CC info.

What's the best way to look for apartments? Seems like everyone says it's better to get an apartment in Medellin than to get a hotel, especially if you want to bring girls back to your place.
Hoping that it will be near Parque Lleras. I just want a place that's clean + safe + chica friendly, not necessarily a 5 star hotel.

The guys who make frequent, longer visits seem to end up in an apartment. It's cheaper and they can develop an understanding with security and management. For short, infrequent stays a hotel is probably better.
The process for both is the same. Check the various sites for hotels in the area you want, then contact the places you're interested in and ask what their guest policy is.
You'll find, particularly around Parque Lleras, many places won't let you bring back guests. Most of the area is estrato 5 or 6, call it upper middle class to upper class. Some of the residents don't want that sort of activity next door, especially at 2 am.
Why Parque Lleras? Nice area, good restaurants, good bars and clubs, not a particularly good area for p4 p. Once upon a time it had a reputation as a good place to pick up freelancers, but those days are going. While you may find a few, you may also encounter the police. I'm not saying it's a waste of time, but if you're strictly looking p4 p, there are better options.

M2 is quieter / discreet, but a good hike uphill from M1, which has most of the actions. The girls tend to show up during the day at M1 and hang by the pool. The Cueva (tiny bar / disco) is at M1 and opens around 6 pm. In general, if you are new to the scene, M1 is better for you. As you visit more often, you might prefer M2, which I do these days.

Greetings to all:
I'am preparing to move back to Medellin after a three year absence. I previously had an apartment in San Diego about one mile from the Mall San Diego area. Not looking to deal with realtors etc. Just owners or contacts that may know of some places to view. I plan to move in about a month or so. I will still be working in the US so I will be commuting weekly / biweekly.
My wish list:
Close to public transportation and shopping (grocery store).
Prefer a high rise but if it is secure, it is OK.
Not too much noise although this is tough in Colombia.
Basic amenities (ceiling fans, washer / dryer or hookup, balcony (prefer not to be on the ground floor).
I speak Spanish and pretty good Portuguese.
Price. $500 or so per month. My last apt. Was in El Campestre. 1 bed. 1 1/2 ba. Balcony. Gated community. Security. Pool. Gym. $450/ mo.
Thanks for any assistance. Enjoy!
I'm looking for either an airbnb apartment or reasonable hotel that's just far away enough from Parque Lleras to avoid the noise. My last stay was far too noisy and earplugs didn't help much.
Recommendations are welcome. (Also I'm going to assume chica friendly).

Stayed here a few a months ago. Nice. Quite. An easy walk to El Tesoro Mall and chica friendly.
Thanks to my roommate's whole family deciding to come visit for the holiday weekend (Ascension Day) I had an opportunity to check out a couple of nice Poblado hotels. I had hoped to take one night at Hotel M, but they were booked. I will say they were very nice and helpful when I contacted them.
Saturday night I chose Hotel Porton Medellin, just across from CC Santa Fe. Sunday night, at the suggestion of Hotel M, I stayed at Hotel Poblado Plaza. What follows is a comparison of the two.
I don't recommend either for the high volume monger. They are more suited for those guys who want to wife up, or who are sticking with a few SA dates. My plan was to have some fun, but a bunch of work stuff came up Saturday and then I had a strategy session with my boss that ran late Sunday. Both allow guests, but they must register with the desk. Hotel Porton holds their ID and gives them a guest ID until they leave. I'm not sure of the hotel Poblado Plaza procedure.
Hotel Porton was 202 k for the night. King bed, big bathroom and a shower that was fantastic. The bed was a bit hard, but still comfortable. Well stocked mini bar: Colombia Club 6 k, 3 pack of condoms 15 k. The only real complaint was some street noise, although less than at my apartment, and some construction noise from remodeling. Price includes breakfast and 1 free bar drink. Even the porter spoke excellent English.
Hotel Poblado Plaza was quieter, almost no street noise, but that's the only category it wins. Cost was 258 k with breakfast included. The room had a queen bed that was too hard. The mini bar wasn't as well stocked as Hotel Porton and prices were higher: Club Colombia 7. 5 k, 3 pack of condoms 22 k. They are also remodeling, but I heard no noise. Front desk speaks English.
My opinion, Hotel Porton is a better deal. It's nice enough to impress, but not too expensive for a few nights.

Thanks 1.[/QUOTE]I booked on AirBnb near the floresta metro stop. It probably won't be girl friendly but a few nice massage places look to be close and I am studying Spanish at a school a few blocks away. It is really inexpensive.
I have a lot of Airbnb stays in Medellin. First off if you are worried about having guests, look for a place that has no doorman. If the Airbnb listing is correct, it will say if there is a doorman or not. No doorman equals no problems. I have always booked with a guy named Andrew. They are all good to go, but his places seem hard to reserve these days unless you plan out further than me. There is a new apartment building that is owned mostly by fellow mongers. They do have a front desk staff and policy is you can indeed bring a lady in no problems. I don't think I want to spam or flood this apartment out. Just look for a building near Carrera 70 and Calle 41 A.
Something to think about is a lot of Airbnb places are getting shut down for being in buildings not licensed for short term rentals. This is happening big time in Medellin. But at the same time new places are popping up. My friend bought two apartments in the 'monger' apartment building, and he knew to buy in a building that allows short term rentals. He doesn't currently rent his places yet because he is not prepared to show his US assets to Colombia to start paying taxes in Colombia. My friend told me the apartment building called Cinnamon was all closed down. Some of you guys might have known that place.
As far as my hotel stays in Medellin. I've stayed at Hotel Parque Plaza a few times and they let me bring in guests, but they charged me 15 K pesos, but I have not stayed there in a few years. I've stayed at Hotel San Fernando Plaza a few times and brought in girls twice with no questions. The price on that place fluctuates a lot though. One week might be twice the price as another week. My very first hotel in Medellin was Hotel Best Western Sky Medellin. They charged me quite a bit to bring in a girl. I now know that location sucks also.

The front desk staff were terrible. They acted like they were working at a hotel. When a lady came to visit, they scanned her ID into the computer. Two days later, the same lady returned, but without her ID. They would not let her go to my apartment. I asked why they scanned her ID if they will not refer to it later. They would not answer. Another time, a lady was coming to visit. I told the staff I was expecting a visitor, but did not tell them her name. There was a knock on my door, and the lady was there. The front desk people did not attempt to call the apartment to tell me she was there. One and done was enough with that staff. The apartment was very nice. The owners' association just needed to fix the operation.

Two week trip in Sept. And I had to arrange accommodations. I looked at that useful list and at $31 a night it seemed good as I'm feeling poor at the moment. I called them and he indicated there was no chica fee but I'm not sure understood.

Anyone stay there before? Willing to share experience, thanks.
[QUOTE=JjBee62;2041538]Thanks to my roommate's whole family deciding to come visit for the holiday weekend (Ascension Day) I had an opportunity to check out a couple of nice Poblado hotels. I had hoped to take one night at Hotel M, but they were booked. I will say they were very nice and helpful when I contacted them.
Saturday night I chose Hotel Porton Medellin, just across from CC Santa Fe. Sunday night, at the suggestion of Hotel M, I stayed at Hotel Poblado Plaza. What follows is a comparison of the two.
I don't recommend either for the high volume monger. They are more suited for those guys who want to wife up, or who are sticking with a few SA dates. My plan was to have some fun, but a bunch of work stuff came up Saturday and then I had a strategy session with my boss that ran late Sunday. Both allow guests, but they must register with the desk. Hotel Porton holds their ID and gives them a guest ID until they leave. I'm not sure of the hotel Poblado Plaza procedure.
Hotel Porton was 202 k for the night. King bed, big bathroom and a shower that was fantastic. The bed was a bit hard, but still comfortable. Well stocked mini bar: Colombia Club 6 k, 3 pack of condoms 15 k. The only real complaint was some street noise, although less than at my apartment, and some construction noise from remodeling. Price includes breakfast and 1 free bar drink. Even the porter spoke excellent English.
Hotel Poblado Plaza was quieter, almost no street noise, but that's the only category it wins. Cost was 258 k with breakfast included. The room had a queen bed that was too hard. The mini bar wasn't as well stocked as Hotel Porton and prices were higher: Club Colombia 7. 5 k, 3 pack of condoms 22 k. They are also remodeling, but I heard no noise. Front desk speaks English.

This love motel really impressed me as to how well run and clean it was. The rooms are luxurious and spotless. On a very hot day it can serve well on a pinch in that the rooms are air conditioned. I spent a few hours with a great lady friend there, it was a lot of fun. Just be careful with the glass doors, they are really smooth running. If you swing the bathroom or shower doors too hard, you could end up smashing them. Other than that, I had a fantastic time there. Here is their website: http://motelibiza.com/

I'm looking for some airbnbs for my visit in September. I see that there are a lot of apartments / penthouses available for cheap. Do these places have strict security that don't let guests over for the night? Or I just need to ask the host if guests are allowed over night? Also it seems that most of the available Airbnb's are in south of medillin, is that where the hot spots are to pick up girls?

By "pick up girls" I assume you mean "find a woman to pay for sex. " If that's the case, it's a good spot.

Hey guys,
I don't know if this will help you guys in your search for the perfect hotel room / apartment but I've been going to Medellin quite frequently this year and stayed in different hotels all friendly provider you book for two (you can have a revolving door). Out of all of them this one was my favorite.
Hotel Torre Poblado! I spoke with the staff and they told me if you speak to them directly they can give you a better price on your rooms then what you find online. They will reserve the room for you and you pay when you arrive.
The hotel information is in the video description of the youtube link below. Click the link to check out the rooms.

So kind of like a casa but private. The cost of a room at the hotel was $43.
Curious.
I like to think outside the box.
So, the rooms that the girls from Fase II use actually belong to a separate facility next door. Hostel South Beach. Now, I looked it up on the internet, and sure enough, you can rent rooms there. With my rickety Spanish, I don't dare call for more info, but, I'm wondering about the idea of staying there. Right next to the action of Fase II and the opportunity to catch some girls between clients. Perhaps at a discounted rate. Let's not forget the old lady with the 4 crooked teeth who cooks food right next door and vomits the words "mi amor" at every opportunity. She makes some damn good food! I'd appreciate any insight if anyone has had any experience staying here.
Thanks,
Rodeo.

If you get a Double, they will not charge a $50 M fee for the first chica. Nice rooms, but I think the hotel is a little overpriced. Good breakfast buffet. Great view from the dining room (7th floor) of the city and of a casa almost directly across from the hotel. The doorman pointed out a casa across from the hotel. You can tell which apt it is because there is a sign on the balcony of the apt with the phone number on it. CAll the number, the place is open Tue-Fri. A guy working at a restaurant (steakhouse) several doors down confirmed that it is a puta house. By the way, the steak house several doors from the hotel, is good and you can get steak and bake potato and salad for $20 M (7 $-8 US). Also right around the corner is a pizzarea, which makes pretty good pizza. I tried the Napolitana and it was delicious, lots of green tomato diced onto the pizza with a real yummy sauce. Also when the doorman took me up to the dining area (7th flr) to show me the around, he introduced me to a man I think who manages the dining room area. I got the impression this guy will also set up a customer with a chica upon request.
Suite Comfort is located several blks from La Setenta, with lots of bars and places to eat. It seems the south side of La Setenta (where Suite Comfort is) is more tranquilo and upscale than the north side (where the Metro is). 15 minute walk to the Metro Estadio from the hotel. The hotel is in a quiet family type neighborhood. Around the corner from the hotel (on a main street) is a neighborhood bar (with street tables) with a real friendly owner and patrons, had a great time shooting the bull and drinking inexpensive beer. Enjoyed my brief stay at Suite Comfort.
Also discovered a few blocks down the main drag a hotel call Aloha Inn, one block from the Unicentro (upscale commercial mall). This place charges $70 M a night and is billed as a new hotel. The rooms don't have windows but I checked out a room, very nice spacious clean and quite. The lady managing said I can bring over as many chicas as I want, no charge. Asked her about caja de seguridad in the room, she said they no have but no problems there, not to worry. The hotel itself, on the first floor it is for garage car parking with one corner reserve for the reception area for the hotel. Odd arrangement but it works. The second and upper floors are for hotel rooms and the first floor for cars.
[QUOTE=Cheerfull;2113851]Stayed at the Suite Comfort a couple nights, chica friendly, but they charge $50,000 pesos for each chica you bring to your room. If you get a Double, they will not charge a $50 M fee for the first chica. Nice rooms, but I think the hotel is a little overpriced. Good breakfast buffet. Great view from the dining room (7th floor) of the city and of a casa almost directly across from the hotel. The doorman pointed out a casa across from the hotel. You can tell which apt it is because there is a sign on the balcony of the apt with the phone number on it. CAll the number, the place is open Tue-Fri. A guy working at a restaurant (steakhouse) several doors down confirmed that it is a puta house. By the way, the steak house several doors from the hotel, is good and you can get steak and bake potato and salad for $20 M (7 $-8 US). Also right around the corner is a pizzarea, which makes pretty good pizza. I tried the Napolitana and it was delicious, lots of green tomato diced onto the pizza with a real yummy sauce. Also when the doorman took me up to the dining area (7th flr) to show me the around, he introduced me to a man I think who manages the dining room area. I got the impression this guy will also set up a customer with a chica upon request..[/QUOTE]Anyone know if they new Marriott has any issues with bringing in girls?
[QUOTE=Chb1234;2118853]Anyone know if they new Marriott has any issues with bringing in girls?[/QUOTE]Almost any of the better hotels in Medellin will have problems with bringing in girls. Either they will charge for each one, or they will not allow them to enter.
It would probably be different if people only brought in appropriately dressed girls, but most bring in hood rat prepagos who dress and act like prepagos. The typical business travelers, the families on vacation and everyone else who is not an active monger don't want to see it.
[QUOTE=TjBrazil;2109949]That place looks freaking nice all new and only 50 a night. Is it girl friendly is the question.[/QUOTE]I stayed there in September and it was chica friendly but they charged a small fee, I think about $20. It was very nice, clean and comfortable.
So I found this hotel on [URL]Booking.com[/URL]. Very tempted. The rooms look great and I'm reserving the VIP suite with the hot tub. The place seems very modern and clean, problem is chica-friendly or not.
So I called the whataspp number they have posted and spoke whoever answered the phone, they said that I can register 1 guest since I reserved a room for 2, and more than welcome to have visitors as well, but about 50 k a body! This seems real steep for me.
I loved staying in El Centro last year, Hotel Botero, but I was hoping to find better accomodations (better AC, small safe, modern, hot tub!) in the same area close to the heart of action.
If anyone tried this hotel, or has an idea of what can be a good substitute, please advise.
P. S: When I asked for Wolf66's advice, he said that's crazy! LOL! He advised to stay in Botero, and when I want to use a fancy room with hot tub, just use one of the short term love motels like 3 D suite and such. I am leaning towards the same decision, but thought I'd ask the pros in here.
Thanks,
SS.

Very clean and worth the 4 hours or so fun, Room service of food and other items using a private cubby delivery system is neat. The front desk does not speak English and also on the phone, so if you lack those skill, your companion might have to order. The steam room has to be activated by the staff or at least that was my experience. The food was good providing a nice break. Music was good, TV and chair and moving bed-.
Step (1) Look for rental companies in Cartagena. I use several. I've even brought t-shirts and other crap from duty free to give the employees.
Step (2) Contact them (usually on whatsapp) and ask for nightly rate and room type. Don't chat them up. Just tell them what you want.
Step (3) Tell them you need a building that accepts visitors. Ask them what the rules are. Ask them again to confirm.
Step (4) Have fun!
I just got done booking my week long stay at 250 k a night. I could have haggled down to 220 k probably (I get the same place at 200 k during off-season in September and November). Balcony facing the beach. 5 minutes from Playa Hollywood. Several new buildings in the area. Furnished. Clean. Security staff very friendly. Only rule I ever heard was not having two chics at the same time but that shit never stopped me. Last trip I had 3 chicas in my apartment at one point.

Will advise if I find out anything, thanks for the info and suggestions.

The other place (3 D Suites) hasn't answered me as of yet except that one time with the rates on their website but no weekly rates. So I decide to stay in Hotel Botero for half my trip, for the sake of convenience (right in the heart of all the fun! And the rest of my trip will be in Hotel 47 Medellin Street. This way I can scout it and see how good it is. This definitely saved me some plata, but the main reason is that I'll be meeting a couple of Colombian Cupid girls. The one I like I can take back to luxurious Deluxe VIP suite with hot tub! Plus, I called them again today and they backed down on the chica fee, saying its 25 k now, rather than 50 k like they told me 10 days ago! Made sure to take the name of the employee that provided the info and made sure she understands that I will be taking care of her as well.
I will report how this goes. This hotel is less than 10 minutes walking distance from the centro action, less than 5 minutes taxi ride, and a bit closer to Poblado.

It's the "Hotel Botero Medellin".
Carrera 50 A #53-45.
[EMAIL]hotelboteromedellin@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]
I have no idea if they answer emails.
Main amenities.
84 guest rooms - 24 hour front desk. Daily housekeeping. Roof top bar, sauna & steam room. Free WiFi.
What's around in La Candelaria (aka El Centro).
Palacio de la Cultura- 3 min walk.
Botero Square Sculpture Park- 3 min walk.
Park of Lights- 14 min walk.
Atanasio Giradot Stadium- 44 min walk.
Mercado de San Alejo- 3 min walk.
Antioquia Museum- 4 min walk.
Bolivar's Park- 4 min walk.
Berrio Park- 5 min walk.
Medellin Cathedral- 6 min walk.
La Candelaria Church- 6 min walk.
It's just behind the Hotel Nutribara across from the main square, Plaza Botero in El Centro Medellin, kind of a rough neighborhood at night but very busy and active in the day. It is in the same block where the airport buses start and end the Centro route, so $3 ride from airport to 100 feet from hotel. You want a double room for two people so they don't mind you taking chicas up to your room. It is a 15 story hotel with a bar on the roof with great views (open from noon to 9 p), $26 a night for a double, they will bring you a mini fridge and fan if you ask, has 43" flat screen, hot water and walk-in shower, Yakusa brothel right across the street and 4 Strip Club / brothels with in a block a and a half and 2 blocks to 2 redlight blocks where the chicas start at $10.
I don't really recommend El Centro to Latin big city newbies who don't speak any Spanish.
I take my laptop every time, each floor has wifi, if it goes down just go out in the hall by the elevator and the wifi box is up on the wall, just unplug and replug it, worked after that.
When you check in ask for a room 10th floor or higher for the view, ask for the backside of the hotel opposite the lobby entrance as they are cooler in the AM and better view. Tell them you need a mini fridge and also tip them to bring you a fan.
When you get to the airport as you step outside you will see these mini-buses, they are 9,500 p ($3 or so), it's a hour ride to the city depending on traffic. Ask for the "auto-pista to Centro" route bus that ends behind the hotel Nutibara. The buses say "Combuses SA" on the side. Their last stop is 100 ft from the hotel Botero, just past it same side street. When out if cabbies don't know where the Botero is tell them behind the Hotel Nutribara where the airport buses are.
The closest brothel is "Yakusa", right across the street, a hair right behind a mirrored door and open early stays open very late, like 4 am on weekends, should be 45 k to take the girl to your room for 1/2 HR, the rooms they have suck. They only have 3 to 6 girls on but it is worth peeking in as the girls come and go.
With street girls remember to ask to see their ID "cedula" and make sure they are 18+ to keep out of a Colombian prison.
Closest safe ATM, go out hotel, right, end street, cross and head left a little, stairs up to restaurant "La Raza" in the back of hotel Nutribara, go thru into hotel, go right, then right, 2 ATM's, the Banco Colombia one has a better rate but a $200 (600 K) limit.
Closest 24 HR good / cheap food, go out hotel right to corner, go right to corner, called BrasaPan.
Closest grocery store go out right to corner, go right, go left next street (under the Metro) on left down stairs to store, called "Tiendas D1".
1st two Strip club / brothels, go out lobby, right. Then left, 2 blocks on left are Maracaibo and Barra Ejectiva, right next door to each other, girls around 80 k on site, 50 k exit fee to take girl to your hotel after making deal with girl, Barra Ejectiva is the busier bar with more girls, but worth peeking in Maracaibo.
Other OK club, go out lobby, right, then right, next left, then cross over right under metro line, stay on right side street down to corner, called Conejitas (means "Little Bunnies" but they mean "Playmates") also 80 k or so on site, none of the clubs have a cover so I usually go in and out from 5 p till 2 a or so to check the talent, which comes and goes. You will pass another club with stairs leading down to it same block, Grill Nueva Avenida but it is small and very hot. In Conejitas if it is hot try to get the tables along back wall, some of them are under air conditioning vents.
Since I have been talking about it here are usually a few gringos staying there you can hit the clubs with, we had 5 or 6 of us there on my last stay.
I book it thru [URL]Hotels.com[/URL] which was cheaper then my buds who used [URL]Booking.com[/URL].
Here's my map of the adult fun in the area of the hotel, ignore the redlight block around Parque Bolivar as they are mostly not females.

I was in Medellin recently for a week and stayed at Sites Hotel. I was at Sites about a year ago and liked the hotel. Decent rooms, no chica fees, Patio Bonita location etc. For this trip I reserved a room for 2 as usual but had not called before my trip to check the current 'chica fees' policy. Big mistake. The hotel now charges a chica fee of USD25/ guest, if the guest is not registered at check-in. Also, a form has to be signed by both guest and chica with conditions related to chicas age, responsibility etc etc.
I had 15 chicas during my trip and the chica fee for the first guest was waived! I should have called before as advised numerous times on this forum. Live and learn, live and learn.
Yes, Torre Poblado is chica friendly, but as of this report they are charging a 59,000 fee (approx $20 USA).
"Torre Poblado.

Dear board,
First time post long time watcher. I had stayed in the Mansion and found it to be a great introduction to Medellin. Decided to Go with an Airbnb in Laureles of LA 70 between the stadium and University. Most of the Building is small rentals running about $39 plus Airbnb fees and $30 cleaning. First and Foremost Laureles is local middle to upper class but I never felt unsafe. Less than $4. 00 usd uber ride to Parque Lleras. I was their for 10 Days and hooked up with 3 Non-pros 28-33 years old. All attractive. Spent 3 days with one and Flew to San Marta. Once again these were all non pros that that I believe that told that I do come and do business regularly in Columbia (true). I recommend trying Medellin from a different view and trying an Airbnb in Laureles. I used, Tinder, Columbian Cupid and actually meet the third in a Bar late night with her friends and exchanged whatsapp. Maybe, I was lucky but if not their is always Mileroticos, Skodda, and Photoprepagandos. I liked the change off pace and was able to get by with my poor Spanish skills.
The Good,
- Real girls- No payment.
- Great sex- Actually wanted a good lay.
- Tight pussies- Not hookers.
The Bad,
- Keep Whatsapping since they want to go out. Not a Hit and Split.
- No guarantee of sex first night, plus time working Dating sites. Scored with one first night, the other two second night.
- Laureles is a party Zone and near LA 70 the disco Go all night so if you are a light sleeper you may encounter issues.
Recommendations,
- Stay in a Building that has a Door Porter / Security.
- Tell them you are leaving different days. They all want to spend time the last night you are their.
- Search and eliminate all evidence of other girls if they are non-pros. They all did a look around and believe one went through the Bathroom trash to see if condoms or other girls where there.
- Make sure their is a washer / dryer to wash cloths. I noticed after they let my cloths had their different perfumes. Dryer sheet for comforter and dry for 10 minutes worked.
Good time was had, do believe how jealous paisas can be even though they had to know I was dating others. I recommend for Guys that can get girls at home but like Latinas. Works well but need to have some game in 2018. I am a 40 years old, average to above average looks, half-ass Spanish speaker, white professional non Hispanic looking American.
The good,
- Attractive 29-33 Year Olds not 19-26.
I just posted a short review about this 11 room boutique hotel that could be perfect for solo travellers or party groups. See my other post.
I am posting here to add phone number for booking as someone sent me a PM asking for it.

My 2 cents: As the wise poster mentioned in the post below, try to stay in places with a portero / reception who can check girls ID. I have been doing this for a long time. It is not worth it. We are going to this city to have fun and leave with good memories. Minimize the risk exposure.
Terra Biohotel is in the Laureles barrio, which is a nice middle to upper class place and is walkable. Tree lined streets everywhere. Close to metro so you can head out to Poblado if you must.
Most important, aside from the fact that the hotel is super clean and very modern (probably best hotel room I've had in Colombia), is that it only costs about $50 USA Per night and is walking distance to the Laureles places like the Luna Lunera strip club (open 24 hours).
Their chica policy is: no problem, just a 16 k fee (approx. $6 USA) I was told. I haven't tested out their guest policy yet (still here), but I don't see Medellin as a place where one can readily find chicas to bring home, as you might find in CR, the DR, or Asian countries. I guess if you are working the Tinder / Facebook angle you will have more 'domiciliario' action. Best to confirm their policy before reserving. I will ask at the front desk later during my trip to confirm their policy.
Note: try to use Uber while you're here. And here are some great reasons why:
First, how many of us have gotten lost with a taxi because we don't speak Spanish well and have no clue where we are, and cannot communicate to the taxi driver where to go?! With Uber, you can note the precise, exact location or pinpoint it on the Uber map before the driver arrives. I don't even have to tell him where to go.
Second, no cash to deal with since it is all paid through my online Uber account (and I'd rather use the cash for other purposes while here than on taxis).
Third, it's actually cheaper than the taxi prices.
You will need a cell phone that works & it's best to set up your Uber account before you leave. As for cell phones, bring a cheap used off EBay or craigslist, and any store will sell you a SIM card and get you set up with a new number (cost me like 5-10 dollars). You will need Internet access to dial up the Uber, but I just used my hotel wifi. The tough part is when you are away from the hotel and need internet to access Uber from your phone. But a lot of restaurants, etc. Have wifi for their customers.

Thanks for the post.
I wrote a bit about Terra Biohotel. (scroll down the thread to see my post). Great place, great location. I did catch a chica fee for 2 out of the 5 guests I had. Did someone at front desk let me slide on some? I don't know. I can confirm I booked a suite for 2 guests, March 2018,70 k chica fee which I didn't really sweat about. But prob won't stay there again because of that. Just my two cents!
Hi, I see very few posts about airbnb experiences. I wonder why. I will be in Medellin in late June for 4 days. I have stayed in airbnb places in the various countries I visited in the last few years and had mostly good experiences. Is there any particular reason to choose a hotel instead of airbnb in Medellin?
I will be in Medellin mostly on business and I won't have much time for mongering. But I will find some! Not being familiar with the city, can someone offer an opinion about hotels vs. Airbnb and what part of the city is best to stay? I can spend $100/ night give or take and would like to be located within walking distance of restaurants and the like. I will not be renting a car.
Thanks!
In my last trip, I had stayed at Mansion. Over all experience was good. I am planning a second trip in October. This time I want to stay near park Lleras. I need a place that is chica friendly, has breakfast, daily cleaning service, super quiet room, and safe. My budget is up to 80 dollars. Please suggest if you have any recommendations.
I asked my previous question without doing much research. Sorry. Let me try again.
I'm not into staying in loud, touristy areas. I live in the nyc area and work there and had my share of tourists I guess that leaves Poblado out.
I don't see anything here about Envigado? Is that an option if I want to be near shops, restaurants and nightlife? Any recommendations of where to stay, hotel or airbnb? I can spend $100/ night. I like to stay in nice facilities when I'm on vacation.
Thanks.
[QUOTE=Jooks;2183558]Hi, I see very few posts about airbnb experiences. I wonder why. I will be in Medellin in late June for 4 days. I have stayed in airbnb places in the various countries I visited in the last few years and had mostly good experiences. Is there any particular reason to choose a hotel instead of airbnb in Medellin?
I will be in Medellin mostly on business and I won't have much time for mongering. But I will find some! Not being familiar with the city, can someone offer an opinion about hotels vs. Airbnb and what part of the city is best to stay? I can spend $100/ night give or take and would like to be located within walking distance of restaurants and the like. I will not be renting a car.
Thanks![/QUOTE]Look at Soul Lifestyle. It's an apartment building but practically all of the units are AirBnB rentals. There's a large supermarket and several restaurants within walking distance. The restaurants within walking distance, at least the ones I discovered, are not high end places but Ubers were pretty inexpensive.

Bob.[/QUOTE]Soul looks fabulous and everything I'm looking for. I have a hold on the best apartment in the building (or so sez the listing) for 24 hours. And a super host to boot! Thank you for the info.
My only hesitation, and it's slight, is that it may be a very touristy area, something I was trying to avoid. I messaged with host Christian and he didn't answer my question about that directly, but he seemed to imply it was a bit away from the craziness. (Part of my test with hosts is to ask questions and see what their responsiveness is. Christian answered about 4 questions within 2 minutes each.) Can you confirm about the location? Should I be jumping at this? It's within my budget. It looks absolutely gorgeous with great amenities.
OK, so I've not yet been to the MED, does anyone have the official site for "The Mansion" everyone talks about, best place for new mongers to Colombia!?
Thanks in advance for the help digging through all this data!
This building is in Poblado, but not right next to park Leras. So I am not sure what you mean by the touristy area. The area of Poblado is the touristy area, if you want local and speak spanish go to El Centro there are cheaper places there. I went inside a unit here and they are newly renovated and very nice.

You could probably say it is in a commercial residential area. I am fairly sure it's on the side of a hill. So unless you are in good physical shape, you will probably be using taxis and ubers to return from restaurants. You can walk downhill to the restaurants.

But I did not explore the area. I only walked up the hill and around the corner to a small shopping area with a nice supermarket, several restaurants, and other mall type businesses. And the view from my room on the 7th floor did not include any touristy businesses.

[QUOTE=VickyRai;2184189]In my last trip, I had stayed at Mansion. Over all experience was good. I am planning a second trip in October. This time I want to stay near park Lleras.

Please suggest if you have any recommendations.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010819063229[/URL]
I posted a review few days ago in MDE thread. . I saw upto three chicas a day with no issues. I used to be a big fan of Airbnb but they have become a pain due to city wide systematic crackdown. Now I stay in licenced hotels without chica fees.
Good luck and have fun.

Vitrea,
Thanks a lot. Have few questions now that you have stayed there.
How is the sound proofing / noise level?
Do they serve breakfast?
Again thanks for info.

They do have a website.

Hopefully I copied and pasted correctly.
Just booked my first trip to Medellin in October, thanks to everyone for the great reports and pictures on this site.
Going to stay in an apartment as I have food allergies and want to cook all my own food.
I don't care about nightlife, I just want to go to the gym, visit some casa's and get a escort or visit a strip club for a short time at night then chill, so don't want to be in a loud area.
Want to be near a supermarket too.
Do you lot think I would be better staying in El Poblado or Laureles? I don't speak Spanish but I don't plan on talking to many locals apart from the girls.
Thanks for any advice.
I saw it listed on the various hotel lists. Does it mean that it's fully chica-friendly?
I didn't see any reviews on it. Anybody have a short review?
Thanks.
I would like to hear from anyone about an apartment they've stayed at in Laureles which was quiet and preferably a higher floor. I've stayed at san peter suites before but think they may be booked up. I plan on being there from 9/1 to 9/12.
Don't care if it is chica friendly or not.
Thanks board!
Bill.
[QUOTE=Lefeu;1997486]Yes, M1 and M2 are a bit different. M2 is quieter / discreet, but a good hike uphill from M1, which has most of the actions. The girls tend to show up during the day at M1 and hang by the pool. The Cueva (tiny bar / disco) is at M1 and opens around 6 pm. In general, if you are new to the scene, M1 is better for you. As you visit more often, you might prefer M2, which I do these days.[/QUOTE]I'm thinking about staying at Hotel M for a couple nights but during reservation process they're asking how I heard about them. Should I mention this site or say a friend who has stayed there recommended it to me?

I think the reason for that question is to weed out the normal tourists who are not interested in the ladies.
Just called Mansion Hotel asking for couple room, and the english speaking lady told me the rooms are only for single man. Unsure what to make of her answer.
Can I bring girls from outside or is there any additional fee?
[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2199904]Tell them this site. I think the reason for that question is to weed out the normal tourists who are not interested in the ladies.[/QUOTE]Thanks. If I stay at M2, I'm assuming I can hang out at the pool at M1, but is it pretty easy to bring the pool girls back to M2?

It's easy to get the ladies from the pool to go to M2, but some may want a taxi. The walk up that hill is a little difficult.
Going to Medellin for a couple of days (17/07/2018 to 19/07/2018) and staying at Viktory boutique hotel, need a brake for Bogota women. Let the journey continue.
Wrong board
My 4 night stay at Hotel San Fernando in EL Poblado was great! $64 a night, great breakfast, nice pool, good location. Chica friendly, walk in during the day. At night must have ID. Had to do an alternate for one night as one of the girls didn't have ID. Went to Las Cabannas 6 min away by taxi. 50 k per person, entry gate, stripper poles and big tubs, Sex chair and mini bar with everything you need. No ID required. Las Cabannas might be cheeper pre-booked.
Not in poblado unless price is very right. Have 4/5 dudes coming down to relax and entertain. So chica friendly. Have rented from barry before so I have references. Would love by el estadio o laureles. Pm me if you know or have something.
Anyone have experience renting rooms in the Energy building? Someone on another forum gave it a good review and said he had no problem with guests. It seems nice and modern. Thinking about staying there.
Is Torre still chica friendly?
I stayed in Laureles at a place called Hotel Apartasuite Av. It was about $58.00 usd a night. Just off of 70 and girl friendly. They just ask the girl to register. I don't think they would let multiple girls in at one time. Its more of an apartment being loaned out but the rooms were nice with fridge, stove microwave. Basically three rooms, bedroom, living room and kitchen. The bathroom was next to the bedroom. The good, nice clean and girl friendly. The bad, if you want maid service it would cost an additional $45,000 cop. Also strictly cash, no credit cards. Breakfast is additional. With that said, I would return here. Almost forgot, I booked through bookings. Com and that's where the name Hotel Apartasuites Av came up. When you get to the building it says San Peter Ca. 41 A #70-42.

How quiet was it? That's always a prime concern for me when traveling.
Also does it have AC? I know MDE doesn't get that hot, but I have to have AC at least before going to sleep.
Hi Combo,
Yes the a / see works great, hot water is good also. It's hard for me to comment on how quiet it is. For sure Friday and Saturday is not quiet at all. Because of the free concert that Monday was especially loud but Tuesday-Thursday was quiet and that is when I got my best sleep. I think without the festival Sunday- Thursday are quiet but not the weekend. It isn't far from the Hotel Vivre (sp) if that helps.
I have read some reviews on the Energy building. Just curious has anyone stayed there recently and if they are still Chica friendly? I will be there for a week soon.
[QUOTE=Sangnyc21;2211759]I have read some reviews on the Energy building. Just curious has anyone stayed there recently and if they are still Chica friendly?

Since I'm a newbie in MDE, I didn't push it and ended up going out for pussy during that time.
The view and room was amazing; but there was traffic noise. I'd be wary if you are on a lower floor #.
[QUOTE=BounceWithMe;2206416]Is Torre still chica friendly?[/QUOTE]See image below of recent discussion with the hotel via whatsapp:
I'll be in Medellin this October and wanted to know if anyone knows of a hotel that:
1. Is in Laureles or Poblado.
2. Has no Chica fee.
3. Is less than $70 a night.
4. Is relatively clean.
I hate paying chica fees, I just want to bring a chica in or out, but I still want their ids checked by the hotel for my protection, that's why I am avoiding airbnbs.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.[/QUOTE]You may want to check Viktory Boutique Hotel (yes, that is the correct spelling). It is a new hotel with 11 rooms, two blocks from Parque Lleras in Poblado. I see rates from $40 to $98, depending on the web site. I'm guessing Serena Realty is the management company, and they have it listed at $65. They also have a couple rooms listed on airbnb for $40, but they are pretty much booked. All reports are that it is chica friendly with no fees, but I haven't stayed there.
The place is great. It is pricey but they are girl friendly. No issues at all.
An option for those who are looking for a hotel near Parque Lleras is the Epic Hotel ([URL]https://www.epichotel.co/[/URL]), across the street from Patrick's Irish Pub, on the edge of Parque Lleras. It is almost new. I think it has been open about a year. I inquired at the front desk last night, and the guy told me there is no guest fee if the guest doesn't stay overnight. The rates range from 180,000 to 250,000, depending on the room and day. I did not ask specifics about what is considered "overnight". I've never stayed there because I always stay in an apartment, but it is convenient for anyone looking to find a chica in and around Parque Lleras.
I'm planning a February trip Only 3 of us. I'the like to be close to the action or very nearby in park Lleras area.
I'm looking for 3 bedroom 3 bathroom paisa friendly. It's a first time trip 2-3 guys speak Spanish. I'the appreciate any suggestions.

Also on hotels I stayed at Torre Poblado last time an there was no charge, if you book for 2 persons, but now they charge even If you are already booking for two?

I look for one's without a doorman, then I write to the manager / owner and ask if local guests are permitted. The only real problem I've had was caused by a previous renter creating problems with the local residents. I was still able to bring in guests, but the taxi couldn't stop in front of the building.
Anyone has stayed recently on the blux apartments, they shown on booking dot com and on Airbnb.
But seems like the house policies are very restrictive, and some need to register guest names in advance.
I know one girl I want to meet again, but I want to take others into apartment too, one at a time is fine for me.

I may rent an apartment since I know for sure one girl I will meet, but maybe to avoid problems with apartments owners if I bring several differnt girls, could be better to pay for some "cheap" motel for hours, so anyone knows of some motel or love motel around park lleras where you can stay just by hours clean and cheap?
Searching on medellin I found some motels like thematic suites, cupido, 3 the and ibiza, but seems like are far from poblado area.
