Hotel La Plazuela

Nice hotel with lovely interior courtyard perfectly situated in the center of the historic old town of Popoyan. Diego, at the front desk at check-in, was very very nice. Our room was large and comfortable, albeit a bit dated, and the bathroom was teeny tiny with no shelf space. Good hot shower. King bed (two twins pushed together) was comfy with nice pillows and sheets. No air con, but great ceiling fan. Room faced the street and was incredibly noisy. We needed to open the windows for air, but then couldn’t sleep with terrible street noise (and we live in NYC!). Ceiling fan really helped. Three stars is mostly due to somewhat indifferent staff attitude and the lack of basic amenities for a hotel that is presented as having a higher quality. We speak Spanish, so that was not an issue. For example, when we asked for body soap and shampoo dispensers to be refilled, we were told they didn’t have any more. We were here for three nights, and were told we only get one bottle of water per stay. Breakfast was spotty (one day cold eggs, one day hot) although the breakfast staff was very nice and doing their best. Three star hotel in five star location.

An historic building, with plenty of atmosphere, but not run professionally as a hotel. Reception is pretty basic and the "restaurant" is actually a cafe that serves a standard, not very inspiring breakfast Our room faced the street - I did not consider that it was too noisy. But was basic/minimalist in style The town of Popayan is an attractive "white town", but had little to hold our attention - we stayed two nights, and one night would have been better. There is not much option in eating dinner. We tried the Camino Real restaurant, which claimed to offer fine dining, but were disappointed There is not a great choice of hotels in Popayan, and because of its location and atmosphere, I would be happy to stay here again

I stayed for two nights in La Plazuela in August. Popayan is crying out for a high quality boutique hotel. It simply doesn't have one as far as I could tell. The atmosphere is more of a student town with very few visitors. As a modest accommodation offering, La Plazuela is centrally located, with some vestiges of the colonial white washed architecture found around the city. It's a little old fashioned snd smells of furniture polish, which reminded me of long vanished hotels from my youth. There is a promising courtyard with high arches and greenery. The rooms are clean and most have recently renovated bathrooms. Ask to see a few rooms. I had a very bright and tiny room at the back that overlooked an orange tree. This had to be changed as there was an ongoing burglar alarm honking from a neighbouring property. My new room opened up onto the interior courtyard and was very dark, with almost no natural light. Breakfast is a meagre offering by Colombian standards. I was hungry again by 10am! Overall a functional place for a few nights. An old fashioned ambience. There is potential for something better to arise from the basic bones.

Een prachtig in koloniale architectuur opgetrokken stijl hotel. Mooie grote kamers, goede douce en wifi en prima bedden. Het ontbijt is ook prima. Het hotel ligt lekker dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden zoals het grote plein met de cathedraal. Top!

Très très bon accueil et ils nous ont gentiment aidés dans notre démarche pour payer notre amende routière... Il y a un parking privé, fermé, juste à côté. L'hôtel est bien situé. Nous avons testé 2 chambres, une côté rue, grande, confortable mais un peu bruyante dans la journée seulement et l'autre côté cour, un oranger à portée de main , calme, confortable mais plus petite. Bonne adresse recommandée.

Bel établissement du 18ème siècle en plein centre de la jolie Popayan. Notre chambre était très confortable avec une bonne literie. La salle de bain bien équipée avec une grande douche à l'italienne. Gros bémol : petit déjeuner médiocre.
