A ‘must book’ in San Gil

We arrived at 2am and the host still greeted us with a smile and got us checked in and to our room quickly. The property is on a quiet street but literally around the corner from the main square, shops and restaurants and is modern, well maintained and the cleanest we have had in Colombia. The breakfast is delicious and good value and we were always offered tea & coffee throughout the day. All the staff were cheerful, really helpful and friendly. We highly recommend and will stay again if we return to Colombia! Thanks guys 😊 Lisa & Daniel
