NH Collection Barranquilla Smartsuites Royal

So so hotel

Buena ubicación . Muy Tranquilo . Buen desayuno . Muy limpio .

People make the place and the people at NH Barranquilla Collection are the absolute best. From Carol at the front desk to concierges Campo and Orozco, to the restaurant staff and the cleaning folks, the staff at NH are phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. The hotel is very nice. Clean. Orderly. Extremely well-run. While there are those who complain about the size of the pool or the gym, both are exactly what the hotel needs. Those wanting to work out can absolutely get it done in the gym while the pool is really there to cool off, relax and enjoy a dip. The main thing, however, is the staff. As a Spanish speaker, I had no problems whatsoever. Those who speak English only should also have no problems as there are more than enough staff who speak English and who can help in communications. Other than at carnaval, no one is ever going to confuse Barranquilla with a tourist hot-spot. The hotel, however, is really an oasis in the urban jungle and is convenient to the places tourists should see, especially the malecon. Still it is the staff that makes the place and, again, they are phenomenal. Anyone going to Barranquilla could make no better choice than to stay at NH Barranquilla.

It was an okay stay. There are two minor pools on top (the fact on top is great) one of them is a Jacuzzi. I saw 3 rooms in the Hotel, all was kind a different from the appearance and features. My room didn't had a hairdryer (I am sure when I asked for it I would have get one). Also the shower had no view protection to the bed which was there in other rooms (also like the hair dryer). Breakfast was good, as European you miss the butter for the bread. Elsewise the kitchen does freshly a small portion of eggs as you wish. Reception was professional and kind, also dealing with an major issue in the room was very professional cared by the staff. We did park with a car and had always a place in the garage. Directly in front is a McDonalds, some Restaurants and malls are close, at night better to use a car (as always in Colombia).

the hotel is very good, in some areas of the hotel there was no air conditioning, the water in the shower was cold

Very nice hotel, clean, comfortable and close to almost everything

Very nice hotel, comfortable rooms with lots of space, good working space and excellent showers. The gym is small but well maintained and has what you need for a hotel. The lobby setup is great for working, with a large table area. The staff is the best part. Very friendly, professional and helpful. I will forget the names of several people who deserve a mention, but in particular, Paula at reception, Jesus and his fellow concierge/porters, both bartenders, and Deila in the restaurant. Thanks to everyone for a very comfortable stay during a two weeks business trip.

McDonald’s across the street was very convenient

Nice breakfast - very important in my choice. Friendly, helpful staff. Jacuzzi and pool on rooftop. Unfortunately, temperature of jacuzzi could be better but very nice.
