I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. My experience was extremely disappointing for several reasons: * **Poor Room Conditions:** The rooms had visible mould and damp, creating an unpleasant and unhealthy environment. Some rooms don’t even have windows, which makes them feel very stuffy and claustrophobic. * **Basic Utilities Unreliable:** There was no electricity for more than two days, and water was unavailable for long periods. This made the stay very uncomfortable and inconvenient. * **Noise Levels:** The noise from both inside and outside the hotel continued until 3–4 a.m. every night, making it nearly impossible to get any rest. * **Hidden Costs:** The hotel charges unexpected fees, such as for replacement room keys, which are only disclosed at checkout. This feels very misleading. * **Maintenance Issues:** Many fixtures and fittings are poorly maintained — for example, toilet seats were loose and in need of repair. * **Lack of Privacy & Security:** Street vendors are allowed to come up to the hotel and approach guests to sell items, which felt intrusive and unprofessional. Overall, the hotel fails to provide even the most basic standards of comfort, safety, and transparency. I would not recommend Soy Local Insignia Hotel to anyone.

The hotel was great! It was clean, comfortable, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar. The hotel is also very close to restaurants and shops. Occasionally the music in the street was quite loud, as the hotel is located in a very busy part of Getsemani. If you want to be close to where things are happening at night, this is a great hotel choice.

Great boutique hotel. Very clean and staff are very helpful and nice. The 3 Pools are small but relaxing. I enjoyed them. This is in a great neighborhood full of shops, bars, and restaurants. The downside to that is that it is very loud and you can hear the music and cars honking throughout the night until five in the morning. I had trouble sleeping a few nights because of how loud it was. The construction very early in the morning is also loud. Aside from that my overall stay was excellent.

You just gotta be careful with the safe box. Because they got keys and they will go in and pick at it. I was missing a couple of $20 dollar bills and 1$100 Colombian bills. So be extremely careful, with what you put in it.

Be really careful with the safe box. Because they

The hotel it wasn't bad. You just gotta be careful leaving you're valuable. I left five hundred dollars 3 -$100 bills and 8-$20 bills And 10-$100 colombian bills in the safe box, they have a keys. And what they do is they open your box and they take just a few bills. So you won't realize that they took it in my case, they took 2 $20 dollar bills and 1 $100 Colombian bill. I guess they figured that you go there to patty. And drink and you won know what you got. So just be really careful in this place. Extremely careful wait, what you put in your safe box!

Mal servicio por el personal

Uno de los peores lugares donde me he quedado. Sin incluir al recepcionista, el personal siempre anda de mal genio. Empezando por las cocineras y terminado por el chico de la entrada que nunca supe que posición o cargo tenia en ese lugar. Me parecía mas un portero que otra cosa. Mal educado por cierto y muy feo.
