Hotel Dorado La 70

Balcony and view , remote control blackout curtains. Elevators are efficient fast and smooth. Security at the front door. Helpful, friendly staff.

I spent spent six nights at Hotel Dorado La 70 and can’t recommend it enough. Great location in the Laureles-Estadio district which is west of the busy city centre so much quieter - and less expensive than trendy Poblado - and only a four minute walk to the Estadio metro station. The hotel is located on Calle 70 and is surrounded by well priced bars and restaurants so can be a little noisy at night, particularly if there’s a soccer game at the nearby Atanasio Girardot Stadium, but having a few drinks and mingling with the mass of excited and boisterous Atletico fans drinking, singing and dancing in the street before they headed off to watch the match on a Saturday night was one of the highlights of my holiday. I had a room with a balcony on the 11th floor which had stunning views over the west of the city and the Andes. The views from the roof bar on the 12th floor were just as good, and it’s a great place to relax and watch the sunset over the mountains after a long day of tourism. The bed was big and comfortable, there was a well-stocked mini bar, flat screen TV, a desk with power points, and the bathroom was modern, clean and well appointed. Breakfast in the lobby restaurant was included in my room rate. Some of the staff speak English but even the ones that didn’t we’re extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Gustavo at the front desk who was amazing. I was trying to book my outward flight with Avianca but their website kept crashing. Gustavo sat with me at one of the hotel’s computers and basically booked a flight with another airline for me, which as their website was only in Spanish I would have struggled to do myself. On top of that, it was at a more convenient time than the Avianca flight I was planning to take and significantly cheaper. Great service, great hotel.

This is my fourth vacation in Medellin, and I always choose this place. The location and the balcony rooms are what i like best. The gym is a plus, as well. There's a beautiful young woman that worked the front desk at night (didn't get her name), and she was wonderful. Gustavo was cool, and Jose was the best. All three spoke English. They were GREAT... and that's surprising because the front desk there is usually unhappy, unfriendly people.

Spacious balcony room, good sized walk in shower, terrific views, room well equipped with storage space for clothes, conveniently located power points, light & fan controls.

It was in good location.
