Very nice, quaint hotel with excellent cooks in their restaurant. The hotel was centrally located, walking distance from everywhere I wanted to go. Place has really nice rooftop where are you can eat or just drinks and enjoy the view.

This is a quaint European style hotel with excellent potential. The staff is excellent and service is good. They will do all to please you. A little renovation & few additions and you have a true winner. The one downfall is the neighborhood. You feel completely safe in this hotel but I would not venture out on foot in this area, especially at night. Food is above par. I will certainly return again.

I booked 2 weeks here and it was disappointing that they put me in a room downstairs with heavy traffic noise throughout the day. It was so bad I could not even sit peacefully in my room for a few minutes. They did accommodate me to a quieter room after pointing this issue out. I ate there once and that was it because the food is terrible and overpriced for what you get. They need a new cook. Also, the woman that works the bar/counter and serves food has a really bad attitude and gives you cold looks and ignores you when you ask for something. Also, the rooms have no windows and even though there is a fan, it gets very stuffy and the fan is loud. On the plus, the rooms are cleaned everyday, the view is nice, and some staff are also kind.

Everything ok except area and food and lady who works behind the kitchen counter everyday, she needs to go and ruins it for the atmosphere. Other staff is ok, esp female who works the front and view is nice. Food is horrible. Area is not the best and noisy.

The guesthouse is located in the worst neighborhood in all of Medellin. Driving up to the location, I saw drug users on the street and several homeless. The cab driver warned me about the area too. The staff was friendly and told me that as long as I don't walk in the area and get my can driver to wait till I entered the gate, I should be okay. Everyone I met in town told me to not to stay in that area so I moved to another hotel. The room itself is small, the shower only has cold water and The towels and sheets are really uncomfortable. There was even a leak in my ceiling in my room where water dripped. Overall, don't stay in this area!

Wonderful place. Large comfortable rooms. We loved the lobby and restaurant downstairs. Very calming place. I'll definitely return here. The location is within a couple blocks of the metro train and not far from the central area downtown.

LOVE this hotel! I stay here EVERY time I come to Medellin. You just can't beat the value of this hotel and I have been all over Colombia. The staff are the friendliest you will meet. The quaint little bar and restaurant they have there is both delicious and affordable...and the atmosphere is very romantic. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. It will not just meet but exceed your expectations. That's why I keep coming back!

This hotel is one of the best places I've stayed, anywhere. The staff is just amazing, I felt like family the entire time I was at the hotel. I stayed here for about a month while on an extended visit to Colombia. The hotel has a 24-hour restaurant, but it feels more like a family dining room. The staff frequently went out of their way to prepare meals for my taste, creating unique dishes just for me. The rooms are huge and quiet. There is even a rooftop terrace to relax and enjoy a meal or beverage. And the WiFi is great. Exceptional!!

61 Prado was a very nice place to stay in Medellin. The food was delicious, the staff helpful and the location to the metro and city center were in walking distance.

Our room was next to the registration area and separated only by windows. Guests talking and milling around did not make for quiet nights. Two other things stood out. There was the stench of mildew, probably from mold in the bathroom tile area. The other was there was no air conditioner, although there was a strong fan in the room that created a uncomfortable draft on to the bed. Fans are not air conditioners, no matter how good. On the good side the hotel staff were pleasant and helpful and there was a kind of congeniality felt among guests. The view on the roof was thrilling. The price was also modest. Still, we found the room short when compared to its claim of being the best deal in Medellin according to Travel Advisers. The location, while close to the metro, was not ideal in terms of neighbourhoods. Overall, love the effort of the staff, including good healthy food, but would not stay there again.

Lovely and very well kept Hotel in Colonial Building. Spacious and cozy rooms, make sure to get room with Bath. Beautiful neighborhood in Prado area - if you are interested in the only remaining colonial area of Medellin. 24/7 Restaurant. Excellent Deal for the price, highly recommended. Not a place to walk around at night.

I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. Clean, nice decor, well run, great location, safe, amazing kitchen for deliciously prepared meals. A special mention of Roberto, a wonderful ambassador for the hotel. He provided help, travel tips and was incredibly kind. You can’t go wrong with 61Prado.

Beautifully styled house from former times. Excellent service from a young and very alert team. The integrated restaurant serves a good variety of fresh dishes for more than reasonable prices. In the rooms the beauty of former times sadly did not make it untill now. The rooms and especially the beds are exceptionally large with good comfort but beds are loud at any movement. Also the bathroom was lacking any comfort. Had a sink with dropping water and rusty curtain rings. Also wall painting in our bath-/room was in need of better maintenance. In the other room the shower had only very little water and the drain was clogged. The rooms have windows to the corridor/staircase which can be closed but do not block noise from lobby and restaurant. Very central, but the neighborhood does not have any restaurants or supermarkets in walking distance. Also one should avoid walking the streets alone at night. Taking a taxi if arriving or leaving late is highly recommended.

We LOVED this hostel. Hostel is not even appropriate for this beautiful hotel. Looks like a hole in the wall when you pull up - don't be put off!! Inside is an oasis. The buidling itself is modern and beautifully decorated. The rooms are very big and bathrooms also big and clean with hot water. There is a rooftop terrace with views of the city. The restaurant is open all day/night and serves amazing food! And best of all are the staff. They were so incredibly warm and helpful that they really made this the best experience possible. Oh, and all for $25 a night!!!!!!!!

We chose this Centro neighborhood to be out of the EL Poblado Tourist Area, so we knew that this wasnt a neighborhood for walking at night (not a problem to take a cab here). Very near to the Metro (but not the greatest walk from Metro to hotel in the dark). Some local places to eat and plenty of cheap street food.Other reviews said the staff was very helpful, while we found them to be very polite, they were rarely around and no-one spoke more then a couple of words of English. A little broken spanish and translation app enabled communication. If you need to speak with someone in English, this isnt your place. The windows look into the building, so not a lot of light, if any. Bathrooms are clean and tiny. Wifi worked. 3 options for breakfast were 9,000 COP and adequate if you wake up starving. If you want good coffee, youll need to go out. Should I return to Medellin, Id look for a place with a little more charm.

61Prado is a classy hostel for international and local travellers. It isn't a place that the 20-something backpackers go, which is refreshing. We met people from all over Colombia and Europe. The foyer and dining areas are very well appointed and comfortable. Unfortunately, there isn't really any place to socialize and hangout. We generally met people when we were eating. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The food is excellent and affordable. The rooms are simple and comfortable.

Lobby/restaurant were nice, food was good and service was thoughtful, but the hotel rooms poor (bad lighting, thick rubber matress/pillow covers, extremely hard beds, tiny bathroom with odd smell, fuzzy tv, intermittent wifi, an inch of water on bath floor upon arrival, no shampoo in rooms or avail from front desk, loaner hair dryer did not work), neighborhood undesirable, and accounting/check-out unprofessional. Price was okay, but still did not account for inferior experience. In short, nice staff, good food, horrible rooms, bad location.

Interior is nice but the neighborhood is not good. Prado mentioned to other Colombians will even raise and eyebrow as to why a foreigner is staying there. There were tranvestites on the block over selling services and other shady activity. Prado61 is a 2. The service inside was great and the caretakers were so nice. Location sucks

We arrived by taxi - 1 hour drive from airport! - at night. It was great that the hotel offered dinner, asimple choice of 5 dishes, but with surprising quality! The filet mignon - perhaps not a smart choice, one would argue - was so good, in fact, that I kept ordering it two nights in a row!

I really enjoyed my stay at 61Prado. Same price as a private room in a hostel but feels like you are in a boutique hotel. Beds were comfortable, room very clean, great wifi, tasty affordable breakfast. The staff were great when they were around, but it doesn't have a fully staffed reception desk so it's sometimes hard to find people at night. The only real downside to this hotel is the neighborhood. It's fine during the day and it's close to a lot of tourist sights in downtown area but not so safe at night. Take a cab after dark. Other than that I really enjoyed my stay here, I will definitely be back, it's a great value for the price!!
