Mandala Hotel Belen Medellin, Medellin

I stayed at a budget-friendly hotel that delivered the basics. While the rooms were clean and had a nice jacuzzi, the location made me uneasy after dark as it felt desolate. The service was friendly, and although there wasn't parking available, public transport was convenient right outside the hotel. The value for money is decent, but I’d recommend spending a bit more at a nearby hotel for a better overall experience.

This hotel is a budget option that serves its purpose well if you're just looking for a place to crash. The room I had was small but clean and came with a jacuzzi, which was a nice touch for the price. However, the area felt a bit sketchy after dark, and there’s no air conditioning in the room, just a fan. Breakfast was included, but the lack of parking and the desolate location at night are drawbacks.

If you're looking for a budget option with the basics, this hotel fits the bill. While the rooms are small and lack air conditioning, they are clean, and breakfast is included. However, the neighborhood feels deserted at night, which might make solo travelers uneasy. Overall, it’s decent for a short stay, especially if you don’t plan on being out late.

The hotel is conveniently located on a major road, with good public transport right outside. However, the lack of parking was a downside for me. Overall, I would definitely choose this hotel again for its pros, despite a few minor cons.
