Botánica Hotel Manila by HOUSY
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you want a cheap, well-located room in El Poblado and can live with some noise. Light sleepers should pay more for one of our other two Medellín picks.

This 4-star hotel is our Budget pick for Medellín. It scores 8.1/10 from 509 guest reviews. That is a decent score, but it was the lowest of the 19 properties we compared, so the case for it rests mostly on price and location.
It suits travellers who will spend their days out in El Poblado and want a safe, central base at a low cost. Family rooms are listed, and the 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals.
Light sleepers should think twice. The main complaint is thin walls and internal shutters that let noise in from corridors, reception and neighbouring bathrooms. Earplugs are a sensible packing item here.
Location and getting around
The address is Carrera 43B #12-101, in El Poblado. Guests rate the location 9.0/10 and describe a safe district with restaurants and cafes nearby, a short walk from the metro station.
Medellín Museum of Modern Art is about 1.2 km away, around 15 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. The Museum of Antioquia (4.3 km, about 54 minutes) and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Medellín (4.5 km, about 56 minutes) are far. For those, take the metro, a bus or a taxi.
Other walking times have not been verified, so check the route on a map for anything else you plan to see.
What guests say
The positives are clear. People feel safe in the area and like having places to eat within a few steps. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, available around the clock for luggage and requests.
The negative is just as clear. Soundproofing is weak: noise travels from the corridor, reception and adjacent bathrooms through thin walls and internal shutters. Ask for a room away from reception if you can.
Price and how it compares with our other Medellín picks
Our reference price was €47.52 per night. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November) for 2 adults in one room, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates.
The sample median was €111.27 a night, so this hotel came in about 57% below it. Moabi Hotel, our Best Value pick, was €74.94 with 4 stars and a 9.3 score. The Click Clack Hotel Medellín, our Luxury pick, was €200.25 with 5 stars and a 9.0.
Honestly, Moabi looks strong for about €27 more per night, with a much higher score. If noise worries you, that gap may be worth paying. If price comes first, Botánica does the job.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 19 eligible properties in Medellín. Botánica had the lowest eligible reference price after we reserved the upscale pick, and its 8.1 score is still respectable.
Its location score of 9.0, the 24-hour front desk, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning round out the case for a budget stay.
