This was my second time at this property.. and I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.. but This last stay was the icing on the cake.. Two of the hotel Front Desk Agent were horrible.. I have been visiting Manizales not only to enjoy the beautiful countryside but to final the documentation for my fiancƩ.. I book the room for two people and on various occasions we used the hotel as a pit stop to come and shower and change for out next adventure or outting... on 2 separate occasions the staff openly accused my fiancƩ as being a workings girl and wanted to deny her entry to the hotel.. one even had the nerve to come to my room late one night inquiring of when will she be leaving.. being that my spanish is little .. I didn't realize all the insults that had been made until after I told the desk clerk to leave my door... this is totally unacceptable and if that's how they treat all tourists.. I hope no one ever books with them again.. because I will never book with them.. I share this with the desk clerk that actually was helpful to me.. he apologized but the damage was done.. I am sure nothing will happen to those two .. which is sad.. besides a terrible parking system.. the hotel is nice.. they just treat foreigners very very rudely!!'

Uncomfortable Stay

The overall stay was okay but the toilet kept not working! There was no heat and the breakfast was very skimpy! I normally like to stay at the BEST HOTEL whenever I stay in a new city and I was told Hotel Varuna was the best hotel in Manizales, which I find hard to believe. I definitely won’t stay there again.

The hotel was very nice and comfortable. Our room wasn’t ready when we tried to check in after 3:00; however, they were very accommodating and got us in another room within 10 minutes or so. Nice location as well with restaurants nearby.

Wonderful experience

Great spot near El Cable, so great location in town. There was an issue with wifi service in the initial room I was in, but the staff were very responsive, and moved me into a nicer room, after which it was great. I'd stay here again for sure. Maybe not in Room 308 if you need good wifi, but otherwise, all very good.
