I had a really enjoyable stay at the Intercontinental in Medellin, especially with the super accommodating staff and the fantastic buffet breakfast. The pool was spacious and perfect for swimming, though I did have a disappointing experience with the spa that needs some work. Overall, the location is great, but I felt the room comfort was a bit lacking compared to the expectations set by the hotel's reputation.

Rooms

The room was spacious and clean, but I found the furnishings a bit dated and the view was mainly of AC units, which was a letdown.

Service

The staff were incredibly helpful, especially the concierge who took care of my requests promptly, which made my stay more enjoyable.

Location

The hotel is well-located in a residential area, close to transport, but not right in the heart of El Poblado, which limits walkability to attractions.

Breakfast was impressive with a variety of options like fresh juices and made-to-order omelettes, though the selection felt a bit standard at times.

The pool area was great, but the spa really needs improvement in cleanliness and service. The gym was well-maintained and had solid equipment.

During my stay at the Intercontinental Medellin, I experienced some highs and lows. The pool area was lovely and often uncrowded, which I enjoyed (especially as I love swimming!). However, the room felt dated and could definitely use some renovations. While the location is quite central, it was still a bit far from nearby shops and bars. The breakfast was decent and offered a good variety, but some issues arose with room service that dampened the experience.

Service was a mix. I had a positive check-in experience with a friendly staff member, but my room service took an excessively long time and arrived cold. Additionally, the staff seemed eager for tips, which felt off-putting.

Location

The hotel is not in the heart of El Poblado, which made it a bit inconvenient for exploring shops and nightlife. Though it's central and easy to catch a taxi, I often found myself relying on rides to get around.

The breakfast offered a variety of options, including fresh juices and made-to-order omelettes, which I appreciated. However, I would have liked more gourmet offerings to elevate the meal.

While the pool area was fantastic and well-maintained, I was disappointed that the hot tub and sauna were not up to par during my visit. The gym facilities also felt outdated, and improvements are definitely needed.

My stay at Intercontinental Medellin - Movich was a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, the staff were generally polite and helpful, and the included breakfast was decent with plenty of options. However, I faced multiple issues with room configurations and the lack of proper communication regarding my reservations, which led to a frustrating experience. Overall, I expected more from a hotel of this brand, considering the price I paid.

The hotel's location wasn't ideal for exploring Medellin. I found it necessary to rely on taxis, and the steep hills around the area made it inconvenient for walking to nearby attractions.

My stay at the Intercontinental Medellin was filled with both highlights and challenges. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, truly shining in their efforts to enhance my experience. However, I found the hotel itself to be a bit dated and in need of refurbishment, which dampened my overall impression. While the dining options were quite satisfying, with a wonderful breakfast buffet, the location required taxis for most outings, which may not be ideal for everyone.

Rooms

6.0

The suite I was upgraded to was spacious, but the décor felt outdated, reminiscent of my grandmother's home. The huge shower was a plus, and I appreciated the thoughtful amenities like candies and cookies, though the flooring left something to be desired.

Service

The service was excellent, with staff being attentive and always smiling. The concierge provided swift assistance, including last-minute bookings and useful recommendations, making my stay much more enjoyable.

Location

5.0

The hotel's location was a bit off the beaten path, as I found myself needing taxis or Ubers to reach nearby attractions. While this made outings less convenient, rides were inexpensive, which helped ease the inconvenience.

Dining

7.0

I enjoyed the various dining options, especially the breakfast buffet that offered a wide range of fresh juices, hot dishes, and made-to-order omelettes. The outdoor dining area provided a lovely atmosphere, although the other restaurant's menu was just decent.

Facilities

6.0

While the pool was large and well-maintained, the spa service was lacking and could use improvements. However, the gym facilities appeared to be in good shape, adding some value to the overall experience.
