Hotels near Capilla del Colegio de la Compañía de Maria La Enseñanza, Barranquilla

I have throughly enjoyed my stay at the Bqlla Plaza, to the point that I’ve extended my stay twice. I initially booked for two nights and decided to spend the first half of my vacation here. The staff is friendly, professional, and very attentive, the facility is exceptional for anyone from the tourist to the businessperson. As a veteran special events director I was especially appreciative of the level of quality exhibited on a wedding held on the grounds. Top that off with the ambiance of the pool area and the beautiful, full buffet, including eggs cooked to order, and you’ve got the makings of a memory. Can’t recommend them highly enough- special shout outs to Wilbur in the lounge and Kareme at the front desk!

Thank you for the good service, we had lunch and everything was excellent well-trained staff to be kind and always with a smile, the doorman was very diligent and attentive to us¨¨ Gracias por la buena atención, almorzamos y todo estuvo excelente, personal bien capacitado para ser amables y siempre con una sonrisa, el señor de la portería super esmerado y pendiente de nosotros¨¨

The hotel is located a couple of block from a very nice shopping center with plenty of restaurants and shops. The hotel is very nice as you would expect a HGI to be. I would say it is even nicer than the same hotel brand in the US. The price was very reasonable. The hotel staff was very professional and courteous. The breakfast was very good. You can order eggs any style you like. It offers some items from the typical food from the region although that would be the one aspect I would say the hotel could increase its wow factor. I definitely would recommend this hotel and would return when I travel to Barranquilla.

This hotel is really good, the location is OK, the service is good, the hotel rooms are large and spacious, very clean, and the price is very affordable, it is highly recommended.

This was the first of 3 hotels we stayed at over 6 nights. It is an older hotel but has been maintained. Only complaint we were not able to control the a/c unit in the room. They staff does speak English and are friendly and knowledgeable. They have an excellent Breakfast buffest each morning with was included in our rate. The roof top looks like they might be doing some work on. but is accessible , provides a view of Barranquilla *( best to see at night the city lights) . The pool is on the 3rd level with a bar area also ( not sure of the hours for the bar) is a decent size.

Customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Hotel chain states that customer service is the most important thing—it is not. This lack of service was made evident at the start with Sergio at the front desk, who was not only sassy, but absolutely useless from a customer service standpoint. When plans changed and we needed to check out earlier, he proceeded to be unhelpful and tell me he could only honor the reservation for its entire duration. After discussing how often I had stayed at the GHL branded hotels and how modifying the reservation had never been an issue in the past, he went behind a closed door and came back offering a “great” solution: modifying my reservation to cut it from 9 days to 3 days for a higher price (and had modified it already without discussing any pricing with me. I kid you not when I say I spent 1 hour checking in trying to find a solution for both parties. Ultimately, Sergio told me the price wasn’t going to change and I would have to take it or leave it. The bed was incredibly springy and hard. Not comfortable. Room was standard. Not luxurious as website makes it out to be. One day for breakfast, I checked on their app which stated that breakfast ended at 10:30 am, and confirmed with an employee in the hallway at 10:05 am that breakfast went until 10:30 am, and then the lady at the breakfast location gave me a sassy attitude telling me that breakfast was over at 10 am and I could grab from what was left, but for my information it was over at 10 am. I tried to call the front desk using the phone in room to no avail over 5 times. When checking out, I called using the phone to have a bellboy come help with the bags, and no answer. I went to find help from the cleaning staff, who stated they had called down for me. No one came. I ended up going downstairs and asking Rafael at the front desk, who stated he would send someone immediately, but did not. I had to ask again five minutes after talking with him about my issues and he finally sent someone. During check out, I expressed the lack of service and the horrible experience to Rafael, who stated he recognized me from previous stays at the other hotel around the corner, GHL Collection. He stated he would try to help, went behind closed door and “spoke to someone” who told him that since Sergio and I had come to an agreement, there was nothing that could be done. When I asked to speak to the manager, he stated he would call him over and I waited over 15-20 minutes to no avail (when he was around the corner at the other hotel, literally across the street). When I asked for the general manager’s name, Rafael would not give it to me, stating he could not make that information public. As if it wasn’t the general manager’s job to address issues? He would only offer me the reservations manager’s name. I cannot express enough my disgust at the lack of service and care from these team members and their inability to help in any way. Absolutely ridiculous. It appears they may be faki

From reading other reviews I expected a high quality hotel but I felt that this hotel is a bit tired and the room was poorly maintained. We booked for three people but the room was only set for two, we didn’t have enough towels. The reception staff were very good. The rooftop bar and pool area is tired and not maintained well. The service staff made us feel like an inconvenience. The menu is limited to fish, meat and cheese dishes so if you are vegan there is nothing to eat and none of the options are healthy food. The breakfast was ok but they don’t have decaffeinated coffee or black tea. The bread was all stale. The yogurt was like a drink rather than properly set yogurt. In the end I had an ok breakfast but they could do it much better with the same resources. Our room wasn’t very clean in every corner in the bathroom there was a build up of dirt you would have to assume a vacuum cleaner is never used. I have never stated in a hotel room where you don’t have tea and coffee facilities. There is room service but with limited hours of service and nothing in the room to direct you to a menu or explain the options. We had a twin double bed room as my young daughter shared with us but I had to ask for a room lamp as the only lighting options were all very bright 6000k lights on or be in the dark so once my daughter was asleep we’d have to sit in the dark. An employee did bring us a lamp so that was resolved but they did seem surprised this caused us a problem. The room seemed to be missing a coffee table. I wouldn’t stay here again as it was just not comfortable or properly clean. There were signs of poor maintenance everywhere especially regarding electrical fittings in the room.

Una servicio impecable desde que llegas te reciben cálidamente, en un ambiente elegante, la comida es excepcional! Habitaciones cómodas y las áreas comunes limpias/ it was a very impeccable service, upon you arrive at the hotel you are able to feel comfortable and homie, the customer service is exceptional, the rooms are great clean and spacious, the amenities areas are always clean, main dishes are great highly recommended the picada del sol ( fried pork, fried plantains!

The credit card was stolen the second time after check-in. I was told that I bought the ticket online. It was probably taken by the front desk when I checked in. Keep your eyes on the credit card when you check in!
