Excellent Stay
This is one of the newest and definitely the best looking building in the city. It is well located in the Barranquilla's up-and-coming area "Buenavista". Service was incredible; the Front-Desk staff was courteous and helpful at all times; breakfast delicious and was significantly improved from a traditional Holiday Inn Express. They have room service from an Italian restaurant with amazing food. Excellent choice to stay while in the city for business or pleasure.
Great value for money
The hotel is located near the shopping district. The hotel is new and offer amenities such as a business center and a pool with great views. Food is quite good, the hotel serve nice local dishes. The hospitality of the staff was remarkable.
Horribly overcrowded, typically cheap Holiday Inn construction and quality
Breakfast was so crowded before sitting in the swimming pool eating. for a mass number of people they only had one pot of coffee and of course it was empty the majority of the time. Once I did not work in the gym more the restaurant area and the sink of the room had no hot water. Being at the highest frequent guest level with IHG I was shocked but they, unlike most hotels, try to assign you to a better room the day before you arrived. In this case they gave me one of the worst rooms on a lower floor overlooking the top of the building next door with the equipment. not even the blind in the room works to rake it up all the way to let in more light and have a better View. all of the staff is very nice and helpful and they were gracious enough to allow me to cancel the remaining three nights of my 4-night reservation. Crowne plaza is definitely a much better choice.
Great Accomodations
Modern - Clean - Romantic - extremely comfortable hotel. Friendly staff , spacious room. What can I said you can go wrong to stay at the Holiday Inn Express , stores , entertainment all within less than 8 min. away If you ever visit Barranquilla remember to visit HI Express : )
Nice hotel, only one good staff member to show for it
The hotel itself is nice, rooms are comfortable, located in a good area, and they offer a very nice breakfast buffet. Sadly, the staff is the complete opposite, as only one staff member was able to salvage our experience here, Fabio the front desk manager, and is the only reason we give this hotel a 3/5 instead of a 1/5. The front desk staff who received us made up of Josie, Alejandra, and a third member leaves much to be desired. Knowing that check-in is at 3PM, we had requested early check-in for we arrived at 1:15PM. Upon arrival, when asked if we could check in early, Jossie told us we would be given a hotel room as soon as it was available. Also knowing check-out is at 1PM, we didn’t expect to have to wait much longer for our room. Additionally, one can assume that some people also check out earlier than the set check out time, and even giving housekeeping time to tidy up rooms, we didn’t think we would have to wait long. Yet, we ended up sitting in the lobby for nearly two hours watching other guests check out, and received no updates on the availability of our room after asking various times. Yet, magically at 3PM on the dot, we were told that our room was ready. I understand that requesting early check-in does not guarantee or entitle one to it, but it really felt like the staff was not communicating with us and was working very narrow-mindedly and strictly by the book instead of being accommodating, understanding, or even plain friendly. We continued to have problems with the same front desk staff later on in the day when we asked for confirmation on the airport transfer we had paid for in our room rate. Instead of having chosen a $52 rate, we opted for a rate $35 greater, a room rate of $87 for it included a transfer to the airport, which we needed. After asking other staff members for a confirmation on our airport transfer, and it not being answered, Alejandra said she would just order us two taxis in which to go to the airport, disregarding that we were already paying for a transfer to the airport and insisting that we pay separately for another service. Fabio, the front desk manager, came to the rescue. He assured us our included airport transfer, and was even so kind to gift us some small souvenirs in order to make up for our lacking experience with the rest of the front desk stafff. Upon our check out at 2:30AM for we had an early flight, the lady at the front desk was supremely friendly and helpful. In those early hours of the morning, one of the custodians was waxing the lobby floors. Since no bellboys are in during the early morning, the custodian was kind and helpful enough to drop what he was doing and help us load our luggage into our transfer van to the airport. I regret not getting a look at their names for even though our interaction with the hotel staff at 2:30AM was the shortest one, it was the best as they were the most genuinely helpful and kind right off the bat apart from Fabio who was left to clean up the rest of the staff’s mess.
