For 50 Euros a night I hope it was very nice. I don't know about today's princing. But 2 years ago, the "poshest" hotel in Pereira cost $75US/night... which is about 60 Euros a night. Hotel Melia Pereira.

And what I would probably call the best hotel in Pereira (2 years ago) was the Hotel Dann Soratama at $45US for a double. Includes breakfast and overlooks Plaza de Bolivar.

I posted info on Hotel Cataluna because I thought you were looking for clean and decent but cheap... i.e. below 40k pesos.

Maybe it was someone else looking for the info. I don't remember.

At least you enjoyed your hotel. But I would never ever pay 50 Euros a night to sleep anywhere in any city in Colombia. It just makes no sense to me.

The city I pay the most in is Cali... typically between 80-105k pesos. I only do this because Cali is a lot more unsafe then any of the other cities. Unless I have to have wifi on my trip I rarely spend more than 50k pesos on accomodations in any other city, unless I really just feel like I want complete luxury on my trip... which I have sprung for every now and then.

Sorry, I can not give any advise for the night life, because I stood all time with my girlfriend to arrange the documents. However this city is full with nice chicas.

Hi Acuerpado,
I've already sent you this information by private message but on second thoughts I'm posting it here as well so that others may benifit by it. If you speak Spanish I can highly recommend a local guy who can take you round el Quindío.
This guy was very honest and I was very satisfied with his services. I have no hesitations at all recommending his services.

Regarding hotels, I am just going to have the taxi driver take me around until I see something I like.

The strip clubs are excellent and very safe, never any problems with overcharging or grumpy locals. Very cute spinners on each visit.
Chango is the only name I can remember.

Also, got some of the best daytime action I have ever had in colombia in private casas. Just find a young taxista and he will take you around. Girls are beautiful but beware, you may have to wait while the house calls them as there is not alot of daytime venues utilized by the locals. Also the neighborhoods are deep in the ghetto, but we never had a problem. Be nice, drink the poker cerveza, and spend lots of pesos.

Yes I actually checked that place out but did not stay, the rooms were noisy, hot, and fairly expensive at 120K/night.

I am staying in a hotel near parque bolivar, which is a much better section with many hotties, strolling around day and night.

Also hit pulling some nice ones from the strip clubs and semi pros from the barrio.

Hello,

Can anymone recommend a good hotel in Pereira? I will be there from 1. September on. I have to arrange with my colombian girlfriend a lot of documents for our marriage.

This is how it can go: Met her first time nearly 1 year ago and now we speak about to marry.

Thanks,

Oliver

**Sandman0011** · 08-08-07 21:11
