The Hotel 721 was an excellent hotel for our stay in Pereira. The staff was very friendly. Although they did not speak any 'English, they were very patient with my Spanish. The lobby was clean and inviting. The rooms were large enough to be comfortable, and were well cared for. My room was fairly noisy at night, but my daughters room, which did not overlook the street, was quiet. The complementary breakfast was good.
The hotel is located one block from the Plaza Bolivar. This is a nice place to spend some time and people watch. The plaza and surrounding area has numerous shops and cafes. We visited just before Christmas, and it was crowded and busy.
Overall the quality of the hotel, the friendliness of the staff, and the proximity to the plaza made our stay complete.
