The hotel is very clean indeed. The people were really friendly. It is in a good central area where you can feel safe enough to walk free during the day. At night there are many homeless sleeping around the streets within the vicinity of the hotel, but you can walk without being bothered. The breakfast and restaurant food offering needs serious improvement.

Goed gelegen hotel in het centrum van Medellín. Prima gastvrijheid en service. Vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt was echter slecht. Oud brood, alles op, geen keuze.

Best Option in Downtown
I have used the Gran Hotel for years. The staff is helpful and the breakfast is included. The lunch special at the restaurant for 15 mil includes a drink, soup, main course and desert.
The pool is freakishly cold but refreshing on hot days. The only drawbacks are the wifi is spotty in the rooms and downtown is noisy - bring earplugs.

Hotel in zentraler Lage, leider
Das Gran Hotel, nicht Grand Hotel ist zentral und billig.
Ist aber eher was für Schwerhörige oder Gehörlose.
Im 10. Stock mit Fenstern, die kippbare Glas Lamellen haben, ist es lauter als auf der Hauptverkehrstraße. Geht gar nicht

choose another hotel
Terrible WiFi, i asked for a no-smoker room and all the hotel smell like cigarettes. The food was always the same, bad combination, very poor options and the worst part was they served you like you were a prisoner: people in line, you have the same portion, you couldn't pick more cheese e.g. and the location horrible! i felt very insecure, the streets dirty and a lot of beggars...

La ubicación está bien solo que el hotel es un poco antiguo y por esa razón se puede escuchar mucho el ruido de afuera tal vez si cambiaran las ventanas sería menos ruidoso ...
