Since I traveled for more than a decade in the Marriott’s, Sheraton’s, Hyatt’s and Leading Hotels of the World on business I think I warped into a person which appreciates character and originality more than anything. But I also think it’s funnier to ride a Fiat 500 (what a fantastic design) then a large GER luxury car. That said I... More

This is a budget Hotel. The staff are nice and the owner treats people well. Although it is missing a few sales/advertising issues that would make it look more like a hotel it has a 50/50 hotel/guesthouse feel to it. For Medellin, the price is a good value. They are undergoing some renovations so it should get even better. It... More

The guy who bought the house and runs it is a nice guy, and the staff is nice, however I feel I have to add some realism to all these wonderful reviews. Prado 61 is more like a house converted to a hotel. Infact, that's what it is, a converted house, so it's not setup the way a normal hotel... More

After having tried a couple of the ¨best¨ hostels in Medellin and ending up very disappointed with the price to service ratio, we went on the good reputation of the 61 Prado to round out our time in Medellin. All I can say is I wished we had gone there from the very start and not wasted our money and... More

When I first arrived by taxi I thought the address must be wrong since from outside it looks like a normal house. But then when you go inside you enter... More

I stayed at 61Prado for a few nights in June 2011 and I know I won’t ever have to look for a different place to stay when I’m back in Medellin. All the staff are extremely nice and helped me tremendously with my very poor Spanish. They make the place what it really is: a real guesthouse, not a hostel... More

I came across this guesthouse in Medellín while lookingt for accommodation. I quite liked the reviews and the photos and decided to go there. The guesthouse is located in Prado Central, a central and in part historic section of Medellín. There is some interesting old(er) architecture around and the fantastic metro is just about a 5 minute walk away. When... More

So this place is spacious, clean, the rooms are big (I probably got the smallest they have because I was on a budget but from what I saw most rooms are fairly big. IT is a safe place because it's got a gate you need to go through and then another door so you have the keys to open the... More
