Posts: 1Smoking Question
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!

Posts: 323Hotel Parque La 70
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.

Posts: 59Medellin Hotel recommendation
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.

Posts: 35Budget apartment Laureles
I stayed for a few nights at a place that has been mentioned before.
http://tuapartamentomde.com/pricing.html
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.

Posts: 43956 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.

Posts: 439Poblado
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.
David.

Posts: 2843Gringo Bars?
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.

Posts: 439Gringo bars close to hotels
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.
