I’ve traveled through many cities in Colombia. I have never had such a great experience as I did in this hotel. Staff… Friendly, Helpful , Respectful and always Attentive!

Breakfast…. AMAZING!!! Best breakfast you could get out of any hotel in Colombia! By far the absolute best.

Location. Right in the center of the town square. Close to absolutely everything in walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel

Our room was comfortable, but we were expecting to have a smart tv with access to Netflix, the one in our room was outdated and only allowed access to YouTube and mirroring android cellphones. On the other hand, the jacuzzi wasn’t warm and when asked for help to the front desk a staff member was sent and he informed us there wasn’t a way to warmup the jacuzzi as there was only a turn on setting, which was disappointing. Those two factors were not up to the hype and price for the luxury room we booked.

The property is beautiful, I loved the spa and the fact it’s private for the hour I booked. The staff is friendly but it did bother me someone stood in my way to ask me if I was a hotel guest which made me feel uncomfortable. This also happened to me 2 years ago so I flagged it to the front desk, I don’t understand what’s the criteria to suspect someone is not a guest. Other than that, great stay and would recommend. Just don’t look too suspicious so they don’t try to remove you from the premises.

Bueno pero no tanto como se ve en instagram

Es un muy buen hotel, en resumen: me gusta el buen descanso y el precio, si bien es importante pasa a un segundo plano. Habitaciones adecuadas, aunque con equipamiento básico (falta nevera, aire acondicionado o calefacción, cobijas adicionales), desayuno buena variedad pero carta no apta para intolerantes a la lactosa o veganos. El restaurante con servicio regular. Atencion en frontdesk adecuada. Parqueadero si, pero a 2 calles. Vale la pena conocerlo, pero no volvería para mi siguiente visita a Villa de Leyva.

Amazing premises and location!

The restored and adapted property is beautiful and location could not be better!
There is a great combination of rustic and chic environment with tasteful decoration!
Although the weather in Villa de Leyva is very pleasant and may justify the absence of air conditioning, we missed a ceiling ventilator, because the room can get very hot after a sunny afternoon and makes sleeping at night very challenging. We also missed a frigobar to cool our beverages. These two details will make this property a must to stay or visit in beautiful VdL!

The property is lovely. The only thing I would suggest is changing the shower tub combo. We had a mini suite and I was excited for the claw foot tub, but the valve that changes water from overhead shower to tub filler was missing so it only operated as a shower. You have to stand in the tub to shower and it wasn’t balanced and would shift from side to side which is a bit unnerving. I would prefer no tun or fix the issues.

I also wish there was a fan so the room didn’t get stuffy.

Otherwise a beautiful hotel, loved the space and the staff was nice and everything was very clean.

This was a great hotel and a great value! The rooms felt brand new and the food was great! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be that if someone reserves the Jacuzzi in the morning, the hotel should have known to turn it on so we didn't spend the entire reservation waiting for the sauna to warm up and the water in the Jacuzzi to get hot, which unfortunately never happened.

Beautiful and clean property. But not happy that I was charged a sales tax and this was never disclaimed in the website when boooking. I tried 3 times to get an explanation with Expedia customer service and was useless.
Also, at check out I had restaurant expenses I didn't recognize, they weren't mine so i had so spend an hour with the admin to get this removed.
