I had a nice stay at Ghl Hotel Porton Medellin for three nights. The staff was incredibly friendly, and my room was spacious and clean. While the hotel is right next to a shopping mall, it's a bit far from downtown and El Poblado center, which means a cab ride is necessary for enjoying the vibrant nightlife. The breakfast was decent but had a more Colombian style, which I expected.

During my stay at Ghl Hotel Porton Medellin, I experienced a mix of highs and lows. While I appreciated the friendly and competent service from the staff, I encountered some significant issues including a damaged bathroom in my first room and inconsistent wifi. The hotel’s location was a strong point, being conveniently situated across from the Santa Fe shopping mall, but the overall experience didn't quite match the five-star label.

Overall, I had a decent stay at Ghl Hotel Porton Medellin. The location is super convenient, right across from the Santa Fe Mall, and the breakfast was quite good with various hot and cold options. However, I faced some issues with the room, including disassembled shelves in the closet and the air conditioning not cooling properly. Though the staff was mostly accommodating, I still think there are some areas for improvement.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in had its own quirks, like loose shelves in the closet which were a safety concern. The view wasn’t great either, since I was facing another building's wall, but the room itself was comfortable enough. The air conditioning struggled to cool the place down, which affected my sleep a bit.

Service

6.0

The service varied for me. Some staff were friendly and helpful, but there were definitely times when requests went unaddressed, leading to some frustration. The receptionist's handling of a mix-up with my guest's entry was not ideal.

Breakfast was a highlight with many tasty options, although I did notice some mislabeled items. Still, it was a solid meal to start the day. The dining area's ambiance was nice, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy my food.

The hotel has a few basic facilities. Room service and laundry were available, which was handy, but I wouldn’t say they stand out compared to other hotels. I didn't explore everything they offered, but it felt like a basic setup overall.

My stay at the Ghl Hotel Porton Medellin was quite pleasant overall. The location was fantastic, right across from the Santa Fe Mall, and I found the staff to be incredibly accommodating. However, I did encounter some noise issues from the busy street outside, especially in the lower-level rooms. The comfort of the room could have been improved with better soundproofing and air conditioning.

Rooms

The room was comfortable, but the air conditioning struggled to lower the temperature adequately. I experienced some noise coming in from outside, particularly on the lower floors. I suggest avoiding the first-floor rooms if you're sensitive to noise.
