El Gran Hotel de Pereira

I was so happy to stay in one of the largest and more comfortables rooms the hotel has, not only the wide space for me to use but the balcony I had access to. From there I could spent some moments in the morning to have a view of Pereira's main roads in center ville. I enjoyed of a nice local breakfast everyday, pretty basic but enough to start your day as there are plenty of cafeterias and restaurants around. Also, the classic aspect of the entire hotel is beautiful and so pleasant to be surrounded by it. I want to highlight the accurate job of the cleaning and kitchen staff who were friendly, smiley and helpful at all times. An special mention to Jefferson, who is the barman at the Fondita, who I shared some words about the Colombian Coffee culture with. Another special mention goes to the senior waiter at lunch time who was always attentive, smiley, fast and keen to explain the lunch choices of the day. Ladies at reception also deserve a mention when at helping with check in or check out details. Hopefully the administration keeps them all for long time as they are remarkable professionals. Having the heart of ther city handy is the privilege of El Gran Hotel; bus stops, cafeterias, restaurants, souvenir shops, farmacies, fashion shops, malls and Plaza de Bolivar main square.
