“En Barranquilla me quedo! Great city and hotel!”

We stayed two nights in Barranquilla at the Hotel Atlantic Blue at 123000COP/£40 per night towards the end of our 2 weeks in Colombia and I wish it could have been longer!

We stayed two nights in Barranquilla at the Hotel Atlantic Blue at 123000COP/£40 per night towards the end of our 2 weeks in Colombia and I wish it could have been longer! Barranquilla was a refreshing change to some of the other coastal towns - cheap, not touristy, delicious inexpensive food, friendly people and the amazing La Troja for the best salsa! The hotel is located in the northern part of the city which is supposed to a nicer area but we didn't feel unsafe at any time in Barranquilla. It's very close to La Troja but there are discotecas everywhere and we were lucky to hear/see local Vallenato band playing next door to our hotel on the first night. The staff at the hotel are extremely kind and helpful. The hotel room was modern, spacious and very clean. Barranquilla was a highlight of our trip to the Colombian coast and this hotel, location, service etc was perfect.

“carnival fiasco made right”

as we were arriving during the town's crazy busy festival, our web provider had somehow cancelled our reservation although we had a written confirmation. The more than hospitable staff allowed us to stay until it was all straightened out. Convenient location.....clean rooms....one of the few places in Colombia we had hot water. Great value for the money and the manager was extremely helpful.

We booked through agoda.com. At the time of booking no double rooms were listed as available so we booked a triple room. After arriving it was clear that there were many double rooms available. In contrast to our experience at San Martin in Cartagena, Atlantic Blue offered no reduction eventhough we were put in a double room. I did not make a scene but neither did I appreciate their attitude. This hotel is OK in many respects but the location is awful and the breakfast has scant choices. In addition, there is no elevator and all rooms require climbing up stairs. We stayed the three nights we booked then moved to the El Prado for our last two nights.
