Medellin Hotels and Rental Apartments

[Hioctane]

That's crazy. I heard it was friendly hotel. I get clients who love to stay at charlee. But I think and not sure fee is around 180, 000 to bring a person back. Again not sure exact fee. So I get guys that rent a studio from me which is around corner. One to stay and one to play.

If you consider, a 230k fee "friendly" (which is almost the price of the room!) then I guess it's friendly. 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.

Here is my guess only. 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.

The hotel might accomodate up to 4 and yes, I believe the rates are the same regardless of how many. 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!

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.

I would verify Bbrocs because Hioctane likes to mislead others here on the forum by posting inaccurate information from time to time, as he just did in a post on the Cartagena thread about it being easy to find english speaking Colombianas in LDV. Possibly next week when I arrive in Medellin I will check it out and post the real deal if you have not done so. I will be there only for 4 days on a business trip, but if I am in the area I will definitely verify.

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.

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'.

Bbrocs provides a hotel report when he himself rents out rooms. Awesome guy. His rentals are terrific if you prefer something right in the heart of the action and his multiple bedroom apartments are great for groups of people.

Bbrocs, how far is the Ibis from the Metro?

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.

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.

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.

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

So I been traveling to DR & I think it's time to switch things up.

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.

Anyone know a good dentist.

Do you have a website? How do you reserve a room?

We rent the entire apartment, not just a room, maybe I was not clear.
send me PM I will send you the site I tried to PM you and was not able.
