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.

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.

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...

OK Hotel
The hotel is fairly clean. The room was comfortable but the shower area was a bit small. The wifi was terrible. Some rooms in the hotel are very noisy, I had to move from the room I was first assigned. The second room I was given was reasonably quiet.

this is downtown Medellin. hotel is around 35 years old, they have done a good job of maintaining and updating. my room had no A/C but didn't miss it. you can walk around safely with some heightened awareness.

Good value but a bit run down.
Hotel was cheap and staff at front desk were helpful. Room was a bit weird with lots of signs about fines for damaging or stealing items. Treadmills in the gym were worthless. A nice hotel but a bit run down. Still a good value and good location if city center is where you want to be so I'd stay there again.

staff were jerks
On check in, we were refused, because my boyfriend did not bring his passport, he had I.D. and the hotel was booked in my name and I had proof of identity, he had proof of identity also, but they would not accept. so we were there with no hotel to stay in. we looked around and found another hotel that did accept both of our proof of identity, Gran hotel staff were really idiots. I do not recommend this hotel at any rate they offer.

Not a good choice
Located in downtown Medellin, very slow check-in and check-out, restaurante service was bad, the waiters did not know the menu and the food was terrible. The rooms are clean, not air-conditioned. Looks safe. I stayed because all other hotels were full. I´d probably never stay again, prefer to be awake all night.

Great value for money smack bang in central Medell
Our room was very roomy and everything worked fine. The mattresses were a little hard but that seemed to be standard for Colombia. The staff were just excellent all of them - very helpful and friendly. We arranged airport pick-up on arrival and engaged the driver to take us to the next destination 4 hrs away, We also arranged for pick-up from our last destination 6 hrs away. Affordable, great service - a minibus on our own with cold drinks - and a safe a friendly driver. We are sure to stay at this hotel next time we go to Medellin.

Nicest hotel in downtown
This is maybe a 25-year-old 14 story hotel that in the US would be taken over and made into a Sheraton Four Points or a Hyatt Place. As is, it is taken very good care of even though the furniture is not to American tastes. The flat screen tv's have plenty of channels. The free wi-fi is better than I've ever seen in any hotel. The two new elevators are very fast. The dining room and free breakfast is really good. The staff is very kind with as much English as you can expect in Medellin. They also have free parking (I hear). If possible request a room in the front with a balcony.

A very nice hotel close to the center of Medellin,
My wife and I and her two daughters spent about a week in the Gran Hotel. Overall it was a very good experience. The staff were all very friendly and helped us whenever we needed it. It had a nice swimming pool and the hot breakfasts of eggs and many other things were great. However, I do have to say that should I ever come to Medellin again and stay here, I'd try to get a room farther away from a very noisy street down below. We were on the 10th floor, and there were tour buses going by honking their loud horns and people yelling and screaming and playing loud music. But after midnight it seemed to quiet down a lot.

A good hotel near the sites
Great value with very helpful friendly staff, walking distance to some great sites, needed a little extra security at this time (March 2013) but we never felt unsafe - did most things in the day.
