Hi fellow mongers,

This is my first trip to Colombia / Medellin.

Did anyone of you stay at this place? Any negative or positive experience?

Thank you and have a great day.

What a shame, it is called "Modern Apartments near Park Lleras" on Booking.com, I am a ware that on site I can find something better and less expensive (this one is for about 80 USD per night), so I can enjoy more threesomes, But the booking is without prepayment so I took it as a backup if I don't find something better.

I can tell you that if you rent an apartment through booking.com, you will be paying 50-100% above the going rate. But the link works fine.

Lucky you Dickhead as it definitely is not working on my end. Anyone else out there who is not having a problem with the link that can help EasyEase out?

EDITOR's NOTE: I have read several forum posts and received additional emails complaining about Aunsa's business practices, including allegations that he has been "renting" apartments that do not exist or that he does not own, and his repeated failures to return rental reservation deposits 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, Jackson

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hotel Villa Real is my go to spot. Best to call them for reservations or just show up as I do. Never been turned away. 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.

Thanks for that advice. 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: http://hoteleriaenmedellin.com/sitio...-san-fransisco.

Inquires can be mailed to info@hoteleriaenmedellin.com or to hotelbrisasdesanfrancisco@gmail.com.

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!

I stayed in La Setenta for three nights at the Plaza 70 just a block from the Estadio metro station. I found it on booking.com 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.

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?

[Mirlitons]

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.

MrFurley,

I too want to visit MDE and stay at the Mansion. Can you please respond with your experience or PM me.

Thanks,

Mirliton.

Do you know if the Gran Hotel or Hotel Nutibara is chica-friendly? Is there a chica fee?

From the WT69 list, the Grand Hotel http://www.granhotel.com.co/ is noted as chica friendly. The hotel Nutibara http://hotelnutibara.com/ 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.
