[QUOTE=ShardRifter201;1846567]Thanks for the replies. This place looks great but I'll keep this option to the side if not for now then at least until if I plan to come back. Which I'm sure I will come back, Colombia sounds the the Thailand of South America.
My group and I came to the collective agreement yesterday of staying in the Laureles Estadio neighborhood either at Hotel Laureles 70 or Hotel Parque 70 for our April trip.
Nightly prices that cater to the preferences of everyone in my group, is in a relatively safe neighborhood (from what I read at least compared to El Centro), has clubs within walking distance, Estadio Metro Station nearby, and are Chica friendly long as we book our rooms for 2 (according to some reports from here.).
Wish us the best![/QUOTE]I have stayed at the Penthouse. When it existed and run by Aussie Greg and Robert. Went to visit Mansion then also. I think the main advantage of the mansion is not necessarily the value for the money. I was a first timer with no Spanish. So I got to hang out with a bunch of fellow mongers and Robert was a great host. He took us around to brothels and clubs as well as restaurants, etc. If you already know Medellin and speak Spanish, of course you don't need to stay there.
