I asked for quiet and got it. There was hardly anybody in the hotel though so not sure about sound traveling when the hotel is full. Security was excellent and controlled for entry and exit. Free parking was in an enclosed safe area. Owner who greeted me was very helpful, directing me to sights and restaurants. The place looks good, the room was large as well as the bathroom and the bed comfortable though I like it a bit hard. There was hot water in the shower and the sink which not all Colombian hotels have. Breakfast was, good, filling and complete. The courtyard is an oasis from the noisy street. All in all it was a good deal for the price.

Hay que estar conectando cosas. El TV no funciona si la nevera esta funcinano y las lamparas no todas se pueden conectar pues la toma esta detrasde la cama. Dicen que son Pet Friendly, pero en su letra pequeña te cobran 50,000 cop mas por perro y un deposito. No hay un metro cuadrado de verde en el hotel. Solo materas

Si te enfermas y no puedes ir, no les importa

Desafortunadamente y cómo muchas personas en Colombia, me dio Covid y estuve hospitalizado hasta el pasado viernes, así que no pude disfrutar de mi estadía, he tratado de contactarme con el establecimiento para ver la forma de usar dichas noches de alojamiento (dos habitaciones, una noche) sin embargo nunca me comunican a alguien que pueda darme razón y terminan por colgarme, si bien, es cierto que dependen de la ocupación del hotel para subsistir, el servicio al cliente telefónico es deplorable y su poco interés por las circunstancias de los futuros huéspedes es evidente. No los califico mal porque no tuve la oportunidad de quedarme allí, pero definitivamente no pensaría en alojarme allí en un próxima oportunidad que viaje a Villa de Leyva.
