My boyfriend & I stayed here the last 2 nights of our 3 week adventure throughout Colombia over winter break. We genuinely could not recommend staying at Hotel Villa Colonial By Akel Hotels more! This hotel was in the perfect location (located on the outskirts of Getsemani) - which meant the streets by the hotel were QUIET! Which was exactly what we were looking for at the end of our exhausting trip. The check-in process went smoothly, the staff was nice & friendly, the FREE breakfast was delicious (toast w/jam, eggs w/ham & cheese, coffee, and fresh squeezed juice) & overly exceeded our expectations. This was the 2nd accommodation we stayed at that actually had HOT WATER - which was also a very pleasant surprise! The beds & pillows were comfy & we felt very safe during our stay here. Highly recommend taking a chance staying at this hotel - you won't regret it! Please Note: every worker speaks little to no English. Just a friendly FYI if you're an English speaker only.

Nothing! We absolutely loved staying here. This hotel is in our top 3 stays out of all the places we stayed at in Colombia during our 3 weeks. We didn't have 1 single issue during our 2-night stay. I highly recommend booking your stay here!

We really loved this quaint boutique hotel because of its super location close to restaurants, bars, shops, clubs and only a short couple of blocks to the Old City Center. The staff was absolutely wonderful to us, especially Maria Jose - and Martha at the front desk, and our included "cooked to order" fresh breakfast of eggs, nice selection of fruits and delicious juices served on the roof-top terrace, was the perfect start to each day. It would be difficult to find a nicer place to stay at this very affordable price. We highly recommend Hotel Villa Colonial and it's excellent staff!!!

There was nothing we didn't like about this boutique hotel.

The staff was amazing, the price was great and the location is perfect. It’s one street away from the main street of Getsemani where everything happens but somehow stays quiet if you don’t want to participate. The room was clean, great AC, we had daily breakfast between 7-9 and the facility is very secure. Random people can’t just come in. It’s also about8-9 mins away from the wall so all activities start there. There is no pool but ask reception and you may have access to one in the area. All in all, we had a great week there and I definitely recommend it.

Wonderful colonial hotel on a quiet street. Delicious rooftop breakfast with great service and smiles. comfortablw with great air conditioning. Best of all were the family owners. Marta and family welcomed us with open arms, and went above and beyond our expectations to help us have a fabulous stay. We miss them and will be back. Highly recommend!

Ms Martha and her staff were absolutely fantastic, friendly and helpful at all times. The location is very good, in GetsemanĂ­ on a quiet street but very close to the main restaruant and bar area. Being on a quieter street made sleeping easier. There is good AC and fan in the room so again it was comfortable to sleep. Everything was spotlessly clean and towels changed every day.

Very pleasant staff and very good check in but Martha. Our room was quiet and a good size. The hotel was on a quiet street and very close to many restaurants and cafes. Breakfast served on top terrace was a good size. A variety for breakfast fresh fruit and juice.

The building is very beautiful with a great rooftop terrace. The view is not spectacular, but it's still nice. The rooms are clean, and the air conditioning was very pleasant. The lady of the house and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful! For breakfast, there were fruits, eggs, toast, and cereal – we were very satisfied with it.

After splurging on boutique properties, I booked the Villa Colonial to stay somewhere more economical; my stay there was equally enjoyable. The room was simple, but clean and comfortable and it had everything I needed. Nice atmosphere, pretty property and the location was great - close to bars, restaurants and clubs, but very quiet. More than anything, the staff was wonderful - friendly, cheerful, helpful. I needed a Covid test to travel to the States and they arranged for a nurse to come and printed out the results.

Wifi didn’t work in the room, but was just fine in the lobby.

The location was good

If you are a single man dating multiple women, this is not a place for you. You can only bring one person there.
