Our room was beautiful and our patio lovely. The employees are always keeping the hotel spotless. The breakfast is fantastic. The employees are helpful, courteous and friendly. This is in a great location.
Located in the old city in a quiet area but close to many things, great place to stay, nice rooms and beautiful areas to stay, good pool.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
Great place to stay. FYI, the pool is tiny. The personnel is excellent, close to everything, plenty of restaurants within a block from the place. Rooms are a bit small but workable. a few minutes from most of the main attractions.
Beautiful lobby, spacious room, awesome rooftop pool, and a safe street with some fantastic dining options literally steps away. Only negative is that the showers aren't hot
Our stay in Hotel 3 Banderas was lovely. They accomodated us when our room has no wifi and were able to move us around. The pool and lounge area was pretty nice. The breakfast options were plenty. Finally the front desk staff were able to help with transport to the airport and
Dining options.
My wife and I loved the hotel and the staff. Everyone was warm and friendly.
The hotel is located in a beautiful street with picturesque little houses. Hotel is within walking distance to restaurants and landmarks.
The pool is on the top floor. It is small but cozy.
The only complain was that the wifi did not work in the room (2nd floor). The staff installed a wifi repeater in the room but it still did not work.
I liked the property very much. Their pool area is not very appealing. It is more like a giant bathtub or like an above ground pool. The lounging chairs end up very inconveniently from the pool. There was no one using it but my husband and I since we needed to cool off. I feel they could have done better.
Wouldn’t honor my reservation, yet asked for credit card and charged. Then they said they’ll cancel reservation, issued refund receipt. Guess what? It was actually double charge. Now I have 2 charges, didn’t get a room from the hotel and they are not answering hotels.com customer service. Scam! Scam! Scam!
First night- bad- had to change rooms. AC did not work, no hot water.
Second night- still no hot water..
Third night- water was “fixed” not true. Still cold.
Fourth night- they truly have no hot water. They have water tanks on the roof and that is all you get. They are either lying or completely incompetent or both.
Fact is they just don’t care or don’t know how to run a hotel. Charge your credit card- YES! They know how to do that. Run a hotel, no.
If I want hostel level service, then I expect to pay hostel prices. You charge US rates , I expect things to work.
Wifi sucks - useless - don’t even think about video. Could bot work here because of this and had to go down to the mall.
AC sometimes.
Hot water never.
Construction next door- starts at 7am- don’t even think about sleeping in.
Management indifferent or incompetent.
I would leave but was with other people.
Breakfast- free yes, but super bland, cofeee terrible (as with most hotels in Colombia) Try Amasa Cafe down the street! Worth paying for.
No elevator- so if you can’t climb 2 flights- don’t ask for 3rd floor rooms
Mosiquites- yes, plenty- make sure your room has a screen on it.
In short. Won’t stay here ever again and did not extend for another four days. Went somewhere else with hot water.
