Medellin Hotels and Rental Apartments

[Voodoo Jones]

I've been staying at Energy Living since Friday. It was highly recommended by other members and I agree. It caters to foreigners and is a higher end apartment building for about $110/ night. It was actually cheaper than nearby hotels and the rooms are actual apartments with full kitchens. It has a great restaurant on the ground floor, a rooftop pool, and security around the clock. It's 100% guest friendly, no visitor fees as long as the number of occupants are within the apartment max, and requires physical ID to enter.

Bonus points: it has hot water.

Be aware that it's filled with foreigners, many who are here to party, so it might get loud on the weekends, but they have a strict no noise policy after 10 pm. Repeated violations cost 1. 000.000 COP. The guys below me were loud on Friday night and played music on their balcony. But it wasn't a problem after the first night and I went out every night anyway.

Can anyone please recommend a nice hotel in El Poblado area?

It will be my first time and I want a nice hotel.

Thank you.

Any advice on protecting myself when staying in an apartment with its own private entrance? I thought it'd be great to bypass security checks and fees, but reading some of your reports I'm worried I might be vulnerable without those checks. Planning to bringing FB girls and tinder girls back to my place in Envigado. If you couldn't tell, my 1st trip to mde.

Only one piece of advice I can give you. Stay away from Tinder. Many people have been drugged from that site.

First time here, will repeat. No guest issues, security guys are cool, restaurant below is awesome. For some reason I thought this place was going to be loud and crazy but it's pretty quite and chill. Not the best gym but I can still get good workouts in.

I'm looking for first friendly hotels in Laureles and near El Centro. But any location would be great.

Also, are there any with jacuzzi?

Cheaper is always better.

Feel free to PM.

Orange Travellers Suites Pros:

-you can just have girls come in and out almost as much as you want (I booked for 2 and never had more than one guest at a time).

-the breakfast is pretty damn good (and if you book for two, you get two breakfasts) - highly recommend the egg florentines.

-the view from the rooftop is nice and the jacuzzi and turco were barely used while I was there (more on this later).

-priced pretty well for what you get. The room service and cleaning is good, the kitchen has a lot of good stuff to cook with, minibar is reasonable.

-The double shower / bathroom setup is nice. You can give your guests their own bathroom entirely.

Cons:

-The jacuzzi is tiny. You can't sit in it, your abdomen will be mostly exposed. I don't understand this travesty of a hot tub.

-Out of the 4 times I booked the jacuzzi, it was hot 0 of those times. 0/4 times did I even have a warm jacuzzi.

-the Turkish bath smells funny and takes 30 minutes at least to get to a usable temperature.

-the layout of the room I got was weird (it was a superior). Like there's a couch facing a blank wall, and a tv in front of the bed. Idk, not my favorite setup.

-I didn't love this area of Poblado. Felt sketchy, and one time a guy just accosted me and my date for change while we were waiting for the receptionist to push the button to let us in.

I *might* book again, but only if I'm getting an apartment facing the back (less music noise on weekends). But I hated the jacuzzi experience so idk. Might need to just shell out for a month at energy LOL. The hot tubs at the motels are better.

I'll answer my own question. Stayed there for 5 nights earlier this month. Very nice place. Very comfortable and an easy, fairly convenient location in Poblado. But I would not say it is guest friendly. They said it was $50 per guest! No big deal for me as I don't often bring them back to my place. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat for comfort but not to bring in an endless stream of guests.

How many people did you book for?

Thanks for sharing Dcrist0527, won't waste any time looking in to that place 😂.

Is York Luxury Suites girl friendly? I've seen one post mention it's very nice and they had no problem. A monger I met at the Mansion said he loved the place and did not have a problem bringing in 1 girl at a time. But information is limited.

I often stay at the Mansion but feeling like an upgrade in accomodations would be nice. And my last trip to the mansion was a bit of a letdown with an extremely limited selection of girls during the day.

Thinking about booking Energy. I don't speak Spanish and I also would like to not worry about bringing girls up. Is the location convenient?

Convenient to what? Its in a safe area and there's an ATM close by. The area has a lot of hills though so if you want to walk around be prepared for that.

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive short time hotel in Poblado. Provenza - Zona Rosa short time hotel?

I checked the map and didn't see any inexpensive short time hotels.

Most hotels are expensive in that area and none that I could see that are short time.

Thanks in advance.
