I recently stayed at the Porton de Medellin. I found this property to be clean, modern, safe and the service was excellent.

The guest rooms were spacious and oversized. The guest room had a nice TV with satellite channels, cd player, minibar, hard wood floors, and nice decor. The marble bathroom was an added bonus.

The location is in an area of Medellin called Poblado. This is an upmarket area of Medellin with posh condos, nice restaurants, excellent nightlife and expensive stores. This hotel is located almost adjacent to the Oviedo Mall which is a very nice place to take a walk and people watch.

The service was always excellent. The front desk staff was very accommodating and eager to help in anyway possible. I remember in particular Yazmin whose beautiful smile always made passing by the reception a pleasure. The wait staff, housekeeping and bell boys too were alway at my service. I was very well taken care of the the Porton.

While I enjoyed my stay at the Porton, I did find the hotel to be rather expensive. I believe I paid about 250,000 pesos per night which is a lot of money in Colombia. I would return to this hotel if I could secure a better rate, otherwise it may be a bit out of my budget.
