GHL San Lazaro Art Hotel Reviews

The hotel is located opposite the castle, but it is not in the ancient city. Although the straight-line distance is only a few hundred meters, the security situation is too different. The hotel is surrounded by local residential areas and there are large supermarkets, but the security situation is a bit complicated. Everyone says, don’t walk to the ancient city, call a car, even if it’s very close. The hotel breakfast is very good, with freshly squeezed juice and various cheeses.

The hotel is in a good location. The room is very big. There is a big shopping mall opposite.

The service attitude of the hotel is good. The location of the hotel is good. Opposite the back door is a shopping and dining center. Opposite the main door is the ruins of the ancient city. The room is quite large, clean and tidy, and the breakfast buffet is acceptable.

Strategic place to stay

Very good attention excellent service a strategic location recommended 100%

The interior of the hotel is unique, the proximity to Castillo San Felipe de Barajas’ gave us a gorgeous view every morning when having breakfast, the pool kept us refresh throughout the day! Definitely coming back, thank you to the staff that made this first visit incredible

STAFF are so sweet and AMAZING. They can also speak English. Breakfast buffet and Chef to make your eggs was also good! The pool was cute overlooking the castle. I took a $1 Uber ride (motor) to the Center. Or $3 Car ride. Yes you can walk if you prefer, you’re looking at 20mins? The rooms are extremely clean and big.

We have stayed in many hotels, but this stay is absolutely the best. Ci was there for 3 weeks and got to know the hotel and staff well. An incredibly pleasant and helpful staff. They smile and are pleasant all day long. They are not demanding or tiring in any way. A friendly staff cannot be measured in money and we are happy to return. Facilities and location were also very good. One of the best holiday trips we have had in many years.

Hotel staff was very welcoming and friendly. Excellent service and the room was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had a great balcony with an amazing view of the city.

It’s an amazing place the people is amazing we are planning to come back and definitely staying here again with no doubt. Best food ever no need to eat elsewhere and the transportation really great people they true. The whole experience is amazing

The view of the castle was amazing from the hotel, and the breakfast was delicious. The hamburger off the menu was overall my favorite meal, great quality.

View from swimming pool to close proximity to castle was incredible

I absolutely loved my stay at the GHL! One small BUT highly differentiating factor, game changer in my opinion, I did not fully appreciate until now is the sound proof window I got. (I visited two other hotels in Colombia and they did NOT have the sound proof windows. It can be extremely tough/ impossible to sleep, when music plus street noise is constant, especially true in the El Poblado area of Medellin.) It checks the box for nearly everything. It is somewhat outside of the core, which means you’d need to take a taxi or walk. I didn’t mind it much because it checked the boxes for everything else I was looking for, e.g. cleanliness, top notch service, and amazing views of the castle. I’d go back to GHL for sure.

Great hotel! Cozy and accommodating! If we ran low on toiletries or clean towels, the room service was very responsive and fast! Quick check in and out. Great staff, and this location is about a 15-20 min walk to Getsemaní and the walled city, however in this heat I’d recommend taking Uber, as it is only $2-3.00 USD.
