Hotel Castilla Real

What makes this hotel great is its staff. We were greeted with a smile by everyone we met, and they went out of their way to help us with whatever we needed, whether it was ordering a taxi, offering us coffee, or even loaning us towels for a day trip elsewhere. Breakfast was fantastic, with enough variety to keep us looking forward to it every day of our 6-night stay. I really liked the option of sitting on the patio in the morning while we enjoyed our coffee. The rooms were small, but clean and comfortable, and surprisingly quiet for the location. The wi-fi never let us down, which was important because we used it to organize our days with family in the area. I was worried that my inability to speak Spanish would be a problem, but Danny (who appears to work there 24/7) is completely bilingual and we had no trouble communicating with the rest of the staff either. This was not a shiny new highrise hotel, but it is a great little taste of Colombian hospitality. I'd certainly go back.
