Hotels in Medellin

Dear William,

Welcome to the Medellín and Colombia forums of expat.com ....

Book your room now as Christmastime and the first half of January can be super-busy for the hotels in your sector of interest in Medellín .. and various other Colombian cities as well.

Pictures, descriptions, rates, guest-evaluations and availabilities are available at booking.com ...

A decent Gringo site for apartment rentals is airbnb.com ...  Spanish-language sites may offer lower rental rates.  Whoa Nellie and Brother Archer have posted some good sites in the past and it may be timely for them to do so again if stopping by.

The sector you are talking about may actually be spelled Poblado.

Prices for hotels there can range from under $30 US to hundreds of dollars a night, so if you post here again, you may wish to indicate your price range.

Airbnb would certainly be the place I'd first look rather than any hotel.  Here you can find airbnb listings for Poblado, and also for other Medellín neighborhoods if desired:

IMO the discussion of hotel versus AirBNB deserves fuller discussion than may be appropriate to this thread about a visitor's January trip to Medellín.

Ipso facto, I have created this new thread titled AirBNB Versus Hotel....

Now a reasonable question with reasonable answers.

But the OP doesnt give us a price range.

I have a suggestion. Look up hotels  in your price range on booking.com and hotels,com, pick a couple you like, and we will try tp tell you what we think based on reputation.

I can tell you that the Hamptons in Poblado had bad service when I ws there and is over priced.

But thats the way Ponblado is now adays with all the tourist coming in.
