Hotel in zona Arteled SAS, Barranquilla

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.

This hotel was completely disgusting, full of mould and damp throughout the hotel. The restaurant floor appeared not to have been cleaned for many months as the dirt was really ground in, the nets and curtains were also mouldy and filthy too. We had to change rooms twice due to the fact that my husband was struggling to breath due too the conditions. The gym was completely filthy and the breakfast was the same each day, and they did not have anything Vegan for me either. There was nothing nice about this hotel. The restaurant menu was dreadful, old and uninviting. The staff were slow to respond to any asks. The bath had obvious cracks in it, however they had just been painted over. This hotel needs a lot of money spent on it to firstly address the mould and damp issues. The replies to the reviews from the hotel stated that they were in the process of completing some maintenance work, almost 2 years ago, however this place has not been touched in any aspect for many, many years! AVOID THIS HOTEL IF YOU DON'T WANT TO POTENTIALLY BECOME ILL!! This hotel is down as a 3/4 star, but 1.5 at the very best. I have always been fair around my reviews, so for me to write this, it was absolutely dire 😔

Ho goduto del mio soggiorno alla Bqlla Plaza, fino al punto che ho prolungato il mio soggiorno due volte. Ho prenotato per due notti inizialmente e ho deciso di trascorrere la prima metà della mia vacanza qui. Il personale è amichevole, professionale e molto attento, l'impianto è eccezionale per chiunque dal turista al professionista. Come direttore di eventi speciali veterani, sono stato particolarmente apprezzato per il livello di qualità esposto in un matrimonio tenuto in territorio. Top that off with the ambience of the pool area and the beautiful, full buffet, including eggs cooked to order, and you’ve got the makes of a memory. Non posso raccomandarli abbastanza - grida speciale a Wilbur nel salone e Kareme al desk front!

Great location and close to everything we wanted to do while visiting. Easy walk to many restaurants. Good hotel breakfast with lots of selections. Shout out to Mayerly Vasquez; always very attentive and coffee cup was never empty. We also utilized the gym which was nice to have; however, it definitely needs some improvements - no TV, very warm, sometimes no water available and equipment is old. I recommend this hotel and will go back for sure.

Il posto più bello per soggiornare a Barranquilla. Amo il personale amichevole e colazione colombiana. Buon hotel per il prezzo. Ho avuto un bel miglioramento, non ho mai avuto un problema. Le persone sono amiche, le camere sono grandi e pulite. Non c'è niente da denunciare. Il conducente del taxi non lo troverà...

Dopo aver soggiornato più di una settimana in hotel mediocre come turista, questo Ibis è un'intera sollievo. Ritorno alle norme europee con un moderno hotel design e camere moderne, buffet colazione, così tutto si può mangiare, invece del piccolo colazione nella maggior parte del B&B. Situato vicino a un grande centro commerciale moderno. La stanza standard è ok con una buona bagno, un letto un po' troppo duro e il più grande sfondo non si può aprire una finestra, che è notabile nelle vie, anche un particolare odore come non ci sono mai aria fresca che entra. Parcheggio interno gratuito disponibile, buon WiFi.

Ottimo sito e servizio. Siamo andati per un matrimonio. Lo consiglio al 100%

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.

If you are looking for luxury as befits this chain (and other similar chains) in the US, you will be hard pressed to find it here. While a very nice hotel, it rates about one star less by U.S. standards. That said, I do think it is one of the better hotels in the city, and though I was not initially too impressed, my favor has grown in comparison to other disappointing hotel stays I've experienced in Barranquilla. The value is good for the price. I would stay here again as it is easily 1/4 of the price of the few hotels offering a higher quality stay. The rooftop pool was one of the draws for this hotel. Unfortunately, it was closed the night we were there. I think maybe they had just super chlorinated it because the water was slightly murky. It is a nice pool, though shallow, like all BAQ hotel pools. However, unlike many hotels in this city, the size of the pool did match the online photos. The room was large and the bedding was crisp and clean. The beds were more comfortable than the usual hard beds in Colombia. The mini fridge and the A/C worked well, as did the Wi-Fi. The room / floor was quiet. The buffet breakfast was good - not fantastic - but good. Several hot dishes, breads, muffins, juices, coffee, etc. The hotel is in Riomar, a nice area, but a bit far from the center of town...a good 4 or 5km away, which is a 20-25 minute drive. Easy for drivers to get confused with the GHL Hotel Barranquilla across the street, or the GH Hotel Barranquilla near downtown, or even the Hotel NH Collection Barranquilla downtown. The Buenavista Mall is nearby with eateries and bars, but it is not really walkable. A 20 minute walk in the heat of the day is rather far, and it's not very recommendable to walk too far at night if you don't live there. 6min ride. **Side note: Uber is not available in Barranquilla. Here, they use the app, InDriver. Taxis are cheap, though.
