The very positive reviews in Tripadvisor convinced me to give this hotel a try when I visited Cali for three days in late July, 2011. Well, although I did not get a greeting by the owner or quite the personal treatment as in prior reviews, I did find a clean and comfortable room for a reasonable price. I stayed in a large room near the front desk, not in an apartment style room upstairs.

Although the hotel was relatively quiet, the area around it is full of discos, bars and all kinds of nightlife, which made the overall ambiance quite noisy, especially the disco right across the street with nonstop music until the wee hours. Of course, this might be just the thing for younger folks, but I am a little too old to take part in bar hopping and late night partying. So, although I would recommend it based on the hotel itself, please do a reality check regarding the neighborhood and nightlife.

I loved the place. It is located right in the heart of the best part of Cali. Everything is within walking distance of the hotel and if you need any help with finding the local gym or other needs, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The room was big, well equipped and meet all my needs and then some. This is the place to stay in Cali.

I stayed at Cali Plaza hotel after reading the great reviews. This hotel lives up to the positive feedback. The owner Claude is doing a great job and has the most helpful staff working at the hotel. The hotel is located close to everything! You get a free cell phone (just add minutes). No need to venture out to get a cab. You can get George to pick you up and drop you off. Both the owner and George speak English, so you need not worry if your Spanish is rusty. My friends and I had a great time staying at this hotel and will be staying here when we visit Cali. A+++

Cali Plaza's location is prime. There are lots of restaurants nearby, the ChipeChape shopping center nearby, lots of discoteqas, and plenty of other small shops readily available.

The customer service was excellent and is willing to accommodate any request you have. The staff all knew you by name by the time you left and the owner, Claude, whom is American is a big asset for American travelers. He is around often to cater personally to you.

Website is very informative and making reservations via e-mail is super easy and convenient!

Our friends and family stayed here with us when they traveled to Cali for our wedding and they were greatly accommodated.

We also got free cell phones we could rent...all you needed to buy was minutes.

Everything was fantastic! Thanks Cali Plaza!
