The Hotel Torre del Prado is in a safe and tranquil neighborhood in Barranquilla.
Upon arrival, I was told that the reservation was for just 1 person. I said that why would I have asked for a room with twin beds if I was traveling alone. I have been using Orbitz for many years and this is the first time this has ever happened. I had to pay an additional charge for my partner to have breakfast as according to the reception desk the reservation was just for one person. At check out we were charged for three towels: a body towel, a hand towel, and a shower mat. The receptionist added these charges and said that the towels were unable to be cleaned. Again, and I have been travelling for over 50 years, this is the first time I have ever had to pay for dirty towels. Finally, the hotel Torre del Prado advertises itself as having a refrigerator, stove, and small dining area. This is indeed true. However, there is absolutely nothing in the cupboards. No plates, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, nor coffee cups. Needless to say, both my partner and I were very disappointed with the Hotel Torre del Prado.
While the staff are pleasant and the location is good I would not recommend this hotel. Also, the breakfast was meager and the same every day. A much better breakfast can be had at the restaurants in the area and for half the cost of what is charged.
