Origen Local Suites

Liked · We liked the location, quiet for a city yet close to a lot of restaurants, bars and public transportation. There is a nice grocery store and breakfast places within steps when you need coffee in the morning. We found the coffee across the street to be the best and the family working there were sweet as honey. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice and clean and fresh looking. (Though, the cleaning ladies need to clean the balconies so you don't walk dirt into the room from the balcony.) Bed and pillows are fantastic. When we go to Medellin this is where we will stay. I saw negative reviews for this hotel on Tripadvisor about noise and no utensils for the kitchen. As for noise it was not innordinate for a city. Those wo complain maybe should not book rooms in a city of 4 milion people. Maybe we were lucky having quiet guests on our floor, but we would not hesitate to ask noisy guests to be respectful. As for appliances etc. for the kitchen. When we checked in we were presented an extensive list of items we could request. We filled out the form and had an iron and board, cutting board and knife and a corkscrew and wine glasses delivered within minutes. I would like to thank the staff for their exceptional service. Disliked · They do not clean the balconies. Their is a vent to the hallway which allows noise from the hall to enter the room. Unless there is some building code preventing it, those should be able to be closed. It would also save on energy bills. Luckily there were mostly quiet people on our floor so it was a very small issue. Sharpen the knives for the kitchen. The drywall could use some repair and the walls need to be cleaned in a few areas. The painters were sloppy getting paint on things that should not be painted. ( bathroom fixtures and headboard for example ) But all in all we really like the hotel.
