My wife and I stayed in the Royal Elim for one night upon late arrival at CLO. As far as I know, it's the only hotel at the airport, which is why we chose it. It's not very expensive, so I can't complain too much, but it's not too clean and has minimum amenities. The free breakfast also wasn't very good.

Great spot if you’re arriving late or leaving early, very easy to organise shuttle collection (via a WhatsApp ) and it’s just a few mins away. Buffet breakfast but I realised too late you could also order eggs

This is a 4 star property, super nice and clean and staff are great. However, we did laundry here and they charged us $90 usd for a load of laundry. Complete rip off, especially when hotels in Medellin did it for free.
