The area around the hotel is great. There are many restaurants. The hotel is OK for the cost. I killed two roaches in my room. There are no lamps in the room. The room is very basic. The bathroom was OK and the shower worked very well, which is important to me.

I arrive late and I went to the room and dropped the bags then I went to front desk and I complained that the room smell like paint and since I was heading out to meet with friends I requested a new room but when i came back the only answer was that there were no rooms available, I couldn't sleep with the strong smell of paint Next day after checking out, we requested if we can go to the rooftop and they declined since we were already checked out Worst hotel, bad staffing (front desk)

Great price for Downtown city area. Everything was close by- food, shopping, tour bus. We felt very safe walking around. Great city skyline view from room and rooftop pool area. Pool was very nice looking and clean. A plus also is that they have luggage storage. We checked out and stored our luggage till 3 pm in order to go sightseeing. No extra charge. Would recommend.

Hotel Terranova

I have stayed at Hotel Terranova several times this 2023. Very well located at walking distance from Calle 50 in Bella Vista. Near restaurants, at walking distance to the El Carmen Metro station, just near everything. The pool is great and well kept The restaurant is good. As to the illumination of the room they need improvement as rooms are too dark All rooms need a refrigerator. Air conditioning in every room is amazingly cold. The shower area in all rooms need better maintenance. I have used in the past the parking which I find a bit tight but extremely secure. There are no safe boxes in the rooms but reception offers rental safes in the reception. The safe boxes are bank type, very secure. The entire personnel is respectful, courteous and attentive.

The first room that was given to us smelled musty. It made me feel sick, my chest was hurting from the awful smell. Then when they changed the room it smelled like the locker room of athletes. The exterior wall on the building had a large hole. Property has potential. Need some upgrading and maintenance.
