Breakfast was delicious and very convenient. Also conveniently located (probably 10 min walk) to metro station. Also appreciated communication by property- I was immediately informed of any issues that arose (ex. got a text about water maintenance). Room is equipped with AC and a fan.

I wish there had been a heavier blanket on the bed. The bed has a sheet and a decorative runner and then you are provided a thin, but otherwise soft and fuzzy blanket. I prefer a blanket with a little more weight to it, but since Medellin is the city of eternal spring, I can also see how this makes sense. I also wasn't aware of the visitor policy, which I don't recall reading about prior to booking. I had some friends over simply to drop off a backpack before we embarked on evening plans and I got a text about being charged for visitors after a certain hour. I guess it makes sense and I did appreciate the warning before I got charged, but I felt like there could have been a sign posted as well.

The hotel is in a really nice and safe residential area with lots of apartments nearby. It's a very short walk to the Plaza, so great for anyone attending an event there. The staff are very friendly, and the apartments/rooms themselves are very well equipped, with comfortable beds, smart TVs and kitchen equipment to be able to cater for yourself if you like. The cafe area in the lobby serves breakfast, and you can choose eggs or pancakes, with a side serving of fruit, a fresh orange juice and a coffee. It's a very relaxed place, and I'd definitely stay there again as I found it great value for money.

There was very heavy rain during my visit, and as a result there was some moisture on one of the walls in my room. The hotel shifted me to a new room, and it really wasn't a problem.

The location is great and the view from our room on the 7th floor is amazing. Too bad it was raining so we couldn't have a drink at the rooftop bar and enjoy it a bit. It is true that there is a lot of noise from the corridor, but the noise is due to rude guests, otherwise it would be fine. For breakfast, the choice is very limited, but the breakfast is good. The hotel has a certain vibe that makes you feel nice and welcome. The staff is very friendly.

Nothing :)

Location is great, staff is pleasant.

The breakfast was great, but the breakfast concept was bad. Breakfast is a la carte (you can choose from 4 options), but when you have a trip at 7 or 7:15, then you don't have time to grab anything to eat. The wait for breakfast is over half an hour. I think they should consider offering a buffet breakfast, so that guests can take what and how much they want, and then have time to eat from 7 to 7:10 and go on an earlier trip.

The location is excellent, the staff amazingly friendly and helpful, the rooms were attractive and functional with beautiful (openable) windows overlooking the atrium garden. The breakfast was wonderfully diverse, tasty, and beautifully presented. It was awesome having a coffee shop as part of the facilities.

Noise does travel up the attrium into the room, so you can get disturbed early in the morning. Also, the bathroom lighting is poor by the mirror.

Great space to live and sleep, with nearby supermarkets and walking access to Unicentro Mall. What really stands out is the reception and restaurant staff who made us feel at home. I loved the WhatsApp connection with front desk that made.me.feel connected and safe. Access to bedrooms also felt very secure with codes instead of a card. The bed, living and bathroom areas were kept very clean with daily room service.

We found the bed comfortable, the pillows were bulky and a mix and match approach would give sleepers a better choice.

Rooms were cozy and clean. The hotel has a cute coffee shop below. It’s in a relatively quiet area. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was decent.

Our room was right above the coffee shop. Though they do not allow visitors after 10pm and no music after 9pm, the walls are thin so can hear people talking below. Also, the windows are not well insulated so can hear road noise and people talking on the streets but it’s in a relatively quiet area. The shower door didn’t close properly and was loose.

It's not a Marriott - but it's not intended to be. So, comparing it to other hotels in this same genre, Beminimal is excellent - especially if you have anything to do at Plaza Mayor. A short 5-min walk meant we didn't have to depend on or wait for taxis/Ubers. The bed was comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent. I was in a "Positivo" room and it was very quiet. Someone staying in a room on the other side said they heard the highway. We didn't. There are plenty of electrical outlets. The rooms and hotel are stylish and the layout encourages people to use the common area.

I was working in my room for quite a few hours each day. I would have liked a more comfortable chair. The stools are not meant for hours at a time. But most people don't go there to spend hours in the room. They have common area seating which is more comfortable... I just didn't go there. There's no closet. There are hooks to hang things, not hangers.

This hotel showcases the amenities every traveler desires: 1) ideal location with beautiful scenery but without the dreaded all night noise of the party neighborhoods. 2) rooms are completely clean with efficient and comfortable designs. 3) try to get a room in the higher floors with a balcony facing the mountains. The night air is so refreshing and the twinkling lights on the mountain are magical. 4) They serve delicious breakfasts with pastries, eggs, yogurt, etc. Of course, it wouldn’t be Colombia without a full coffee bar with the skilled staff to match. 5) But the most extraordinary aspect of Beminimal is the staff. Every single staff member I met there treated me with kindness and warmth. They were friendly from the moment I booked the hotel 3 months in advance, through my last morning there. My Spanish is ok but they made me feel comfortable practicing with them. Additionally, they can communicate with you in English in person, via chat, or phone. It’s the best of both worlds. Rarely do the people working at the place you stay deeply impact your whole traveling experience. To me, they became my friends. I learned so much about the country and culture. Myself and my belongings were always well looked after. Beminimal and its staff are the best ambassadors for Colombia. As an American, before I visited the country, I heard so many things. I wasn’t sure what I would find upon arrival in Medellín. Now, I regard my time there as some of the best days of my life. It truly reinvigorated me after living so long in a much colder western culture. Do yourself a favor. Do not fall for the trap of hiding in the El Poblado neighborhood full of wealthy foreigners. You don’t need to fly all the way to Colombia to merely remain with the same people, foods, languages, and cultures that you have back home. Challenge yourself to put more trust in the Colombian people. Most of the danger in Colombia can be avoided very simply.

I can’t think of anything I found really “wrong” with the property. Right now, it’s unseasonably warm in Medellin. If you’re from a cold climate, like I am, it can get hot during the day. Thankfully, it returns to a refreshing cool at night. That said, my room did not have an air conditioner. But, I knew that before booking. Under usual circumstances there, the temperate weather there proposes no discomfort. When I found myself hot in my room, I slid open my balcony door and used the fan they provided to pull in the refreshing night air. By the way, I never had trouble with insects while keeping my balcony open with no screen.

Breakfast was delicious and all of the staff were wonderful and helpful! We also loved the location next to the river walk and in a quieter part of town.

Only thing we would have preferred was different was the sofa/seating in the rooms and on the roof. Furniture was not very comfortable or inviting for hanging out. Would not stop us from returning however!
