LOL! That's pretty rich coming from someone like yourself. "Don't try to relive someone else's experience. Make your own. " That's pretty good. But

I actually stayed near La Isla at an AirBnb .... That said, in all the times I have been in Colombia I have NEVER needed a love hotel.. I stay in AirBnb almost exclusively these days, and never brought a girl back to my hotel in Colombia. In Brazil, yes without issues. But, the OPs question about "girl friendly" hotels is probably moot, anyways. In my two trips to Bucaramanga I never had the need to use a love hotel for punting and neither should anyone else.

You never punted in a love hotel like that's a good thing? Staying at an AirB&b in downmarket La Isla like that's a good thing, Mr. E?

But that's your style and can see your point of view.

Personally, I don't want to bring these girls to my hotel. And I don't want to stay in somebody's dirty b&b apartment. I have a house at home, so prefer to be exclusively in a hotel (4* and with infrastructure) when travelling. To each their own.

LOL! That's pretty rich coming from someone like yourself. "Don't try to relive someone else's experience. Make your own. " That's pretty good. But still.

"Every third hotel in La Isla for starters"? Yet, you couldn't name one. How is that?

I actually stayed near La Isla at an AirBnb and noticed this love hotel in the hood (see photo below). Residencia Pasion at Cra 18#54-29. I take photos of things for reference later in the event I would actually need it. But, not surprisingly, I did not need to utilized.

I actually noticed lots of other hotels in the area around La Isla and no, not every third hotel is a love hotel. That's your imagination at work there, dude. But, the reason I asked you that question in the first place, was to see if you actually knew what you were talking about from any actual experience. Apparently not..

Girls work out of these hotels in La Isla. Call them what you want. They're no name hotels to me -- a dime a dozen, evidently the lap of luxury and romance for you. As you're a conoisseur of this scene, we can understand your wanting names -- names of love hotels! LOL. And sorry, I'm no expert on 'mongering street girls. ' Have at it, and enjoy yourself. Make sure you go after dark.

Why people 'never bothered to post anything until you did?' Because the forum revolves around you, as you've strived to make clear.

Sure I could name them and just as surely you can find them as: they are ALL over. Every third hotel in La Isla for starters. And around Zona Rosa. You can't be that lame that you can't find one. Don't try to relive someone else's experience. Make your own.

But for the rest of you people out there, yes love hotels exist in every city in Colombia. So simply stating "There are love motels all over town" is about as insightful as saying Colombian food is bland. That said, in all the times I have been in Colombia I have NEVER needed a love hotel. That's because most prostitutes in all of South America either work in brothels or they have a room, apartment or studio for serving their customers in. In fact, the only place I ever utilized a love hotel was in Sao Paulo, Brazil where many women only work exclusively out of love hotels and typically at your expense. Outside of Sao Paulo, it's usually not needed. In Colombia, definitely not much of a factor. Prostitution usually take place in private housing out of the realm of the general public. As for "girl friendly hotels, most business class hotels will be girl friendly. I stay in AirBnb almost exclusively these days, and never brought a girl back to my hotel in Colombia. In Brazil, yes without issues. But, the OPs question about "girl friendly" hotels is probably moot, anyways. In my two trips to Bucaramanga I never had the need to use a love hotel for punting and neither should anyone else. Same with anywhere / anyone else I've done in any other city in Colombia, or Peru, or Bolivia, or Argentina.

BTW, Love Hotels exist for more than prostitution. They are places for elicit trysts, places for married couples to get out of the house and away from kids and relatives (most young people in South America don't leave their parent's home until they marry, so you can imagine how love hotels can be useful). In Brazil, some people I've met like them just for the chance to sit in a jacuzzi, as bathtubs are rare in most Brazilian homes.

Anyways, it seems that whenever I post a real TR on a dormant and overlooked thread it just seems to bring out the "travel fiction writers" and their vague expertise. I don't know why I even bother, anymore. How is it all you "experts" who seem to know so much about Bucaramanga never bothered to post anything about it, until my recent TRs from a few months back.

I will be there next week hunting street girls. Hopefully all goes well since I have never been there. It is the last of the bigger cities I have wanted to visit.

Hunting street girls? This is not Medellin and if that's your m. O. , you will be disappointed.

But here's where some are: Parque Centenario, Parque Antonio Santos, and Parque Santandar. The trade can be rough. If you want to shop for them at evening bars along the street, if that doesn't sound too expensive for you, try La Isla around the mall.

Keep in mind the scale is nowhere near the size of Medellin. But you can always take a busride from there to Cucuta where there's much bigger street selection.

Of course, the girls recommend motels. You might even end up in her very own room. Anticipate 15-20,000 cop which will make you feel like your right at home slumming in Medellin Centro.

Can you give us some specifics? If you can honestly say "There are love motels all over town" then surely you should be able to name a few, for us.

I asked the hotels if they are guest friendly, but their answers in WhatsApp were negative.

The hotel has no idea who you are. What would you say if you worked there and someone called you asking that same question? You have a much better chance if you were already staying there so they see you are not trying to use their place as a one night short time hotel that is going to be trashed. If you are booked for a week or more and have all your stuff their then they can rest easier. But that takes time that most do not have. Another option if get the front office guy a tip for letting her in. But many front office hotel workers are women who are not as likely to let your girl into the hotel for any price. Catch 22. Good luck.

Never saw this answered correctly so I will try. Most guys visit for weeks or months so they simply do not know. Even if the guys here did know it can quickly be outdated information.

For example, the hotel next the church in Medellin was a nice clean newish inside hotel. Then it became a short time only hotel with the new owners. The first 6 months were awesome. After that the place was filthy like all the other ST hotels. I know because I stayed there for 3 months right as the new owners came in and kicked the overnight customers out. ME.

Do not reinvent the wheel. You need to ask the experts. Who are they? The girls. They know the hotels that are clean, have hot water, and prices. If a new ST hotel opened up last week we will not know it but they will. They talk like we do. Ask 5 girls from different 'girl groups' and you should have 80-90% of all your questions answered.

There are love motels all over town. Do as the natives do.

I asked the hotels if they are guest friendly, but their answers in WhatsApp were negative.

1) International Triada: Willing to book the Suite Presidential. It is not possible to register guests.

2) Chicamocha: Willing to book the Suite Tematica. It is possible to have guests, but with a cost of 80 mil for each visitor.

I'll keep searching.

As for the girls, it is truly hit and miss. Visit as many places (casas) as you can and you'll eventually find what you're looking for. Keep in mind that specifics in previous reports will be quickly out of date. Don't try to replicate someone else's adventures. Just go make your own.

Golfinho, thank you very much, great suggestions. I'm sure they are useful for all members!

I wouldn't stay for free in a hotel that gets street noise which in Bucamaranga is almost all of them.

Hampton Hilton has small rooms, poor food, not a good value, they make you check in girls. Most rooms at the Dann Carlton are quiet enough, be discrete with your dates. Holiday Inn at the Mall, but there's no reason to be in Cabacera anyway as taxis are cheap and plentiful. Floridablanca is viable as a lot of girls (especially 'zuelans) operate from there and there are restaurants. Sonesta and Roseliere are good hotels. In centro, near casas, International La Triada is an excellent hotel for a few days, restaurant in hotel and others are close. Actually, for 10 days, I'd stay five in one place and five days in another. La Isla has the most girl access and literally hundreds of hotels but I've yet to find one of good enough quality and comfort. See if you can find one there. Air be&be and apartments come with too much aggravation here.

I'm searching a good chica friendly place to stay 10 days. I hate noise and now that I'm 60 I need to sleep well. Location is super important for good mood, and I'm looking for your recommendation.

3rd time in Colombia, first time in this city. I would like to pay less than 115 USD per night
I could get the Hampton by Hilton using Hilton points, but it doesn't look so good. The Dann Carlton has good reviews too, and it is in Cabacera. The Superior King room doesn't look as good as the Chicamocha suite, and at a cost of 100 USD it is more expensive.

All hints are welcome!
