The hotel Nutibara is a beautiful building that feels like it's about to collapse at any moment. I normally enjoy a great balcony, but every time I stepped out to the balconies here I felt like it was going to give out under me. My shower door wouldn't close, so I was stuck either holding the door closed while I... More

This hotel is located in the heart of the city, close to the town square. It also employs some very helpful and friendly people. Based on these two factors I give the hotel 2 stars, but that's being very generous!! The hotel is in need of a major overhaul; the problem is, that's being done 'as you sleep'!! Arriving near...

I operate Ecotours in Colombia and figured I would try this hotel in Medellin. I arrived with a large group in time for dinner after talking to the staff about our arrival time. They had instructions to do pre check in and I had sent them all the information they needed for pre check in. They had nothing ready, and... More

First off this is not for the person who wants to enjoy the hotel. It is ideal for someone who wants to get to know Medellin, be in the center of the city, and be walking distance to a lot of nightlife and shopping. I enjoyed my stay, the hotel is a little old but so is the neighborhood. The... More

We arrived (a group of 30) at the hotel at 9:00PM to live our worst nightmare. The area is located is filthy, they had a guard that would keep the beggars away by hitting them with a stick. Staff was not polite, did not want to provide the food service included, when food was finally given to us in a... More

We expected much more from the superior suite in this hotel. I would say it was like 2star hotel. Renovated probably 30 years ago. You should wait for 10 minutes for water to become warm. Then the water from the floor in the shower will go away only after 1 hour. Then room services took away our half-empty water bottles.... More

On weekends, there are discos within a block of hotel that go on until 2 am. Hotel does not have double glazed windows so you hear the noise as well as cars, trucks and buses (which you hear during the week as well). Very inefficient front desk. No computer for guest use (although we were told it would be repaired... More

Definitely special and from a by-gone age. If you like these kind of places, the Nutibara's not be missed if you are touring downtown Medellin. Impossible to not be struck by the high-style of the place, from the Deco entrance and portico to the original fittings in the lobby: the Hotel really stands out in this neighborhood littered with '60s...

We stayed 2 weekend nights in this classic hotel in center Medellin. Nutibara is apparently the oldest hotel in Medellin when it started out as a 5 star venue for the upper class. Entering the hotel feels somehow like traveling back in time. The faded elegance of the huge reception lobby, the always helpful and smiling staff dressed up in... More

A first glance at the Hotel Nutibara brings forth images of faded glory. It features an art deco exterior that is badly in need of a good sandblast, a lobby that was probably posh in the 1940's and dated rooms that try oh so hard to exude a sense of elegance, yet fall well short of the mark. The Hotel... More
