Hotel El Peñon by Bithotels
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.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a 4-star base in a well-rated part of Cali for about €60 a night. Skip it if breakfast matters a lot to you, since guests say portions are small and service is slow.

This is our Budget pick in Cali, and it is an unusual one: a 4-star hotel at the lowest reference price we saw among eligible options. It suits couples and small families who want a safe, walkable area and friendly staff without paying 4 or 5-star prices elsewhere in the city.
Families should note that the property lists family rooms and a garden. The listing tags also mention pets, but the pet policy and any fee are not confirmed, so ask before you book.
Skip it if a slow or small breakfast would spoil your morning. That is the one recurring complaint in the guest feedback we have.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at Calle 1 Oeste No. 2-61, in the area the booking provider labels as the top-rated part of Cali. Guests rate the location 9.4 out of 10, the strongest number on this page. Reviewers describe it as a safe, central area with restaurants, shops and parks within walking distance.
Our straight-line estimates put Cali Tower about 1.7 km away, roughly 21 minutes on foot, and Cali Zoo about 2 km away, around 25 minutes. Cristo Rey is about 3 km away, which works out at roughly 38 minutes on foot. That one is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi to reach it.
What guests say
The score is 8.6 out of 10 from 1,203 reviews. That is a solid number, though it placed 8th of 13 eligible properties in the provider sample, so other hotels in Cali score higher.
Two things come up most in praise. First, the location, which guests call safe and central. Second, the staff, described as friendly, helpful and attentive with requests.
The main complaint is breakfast. Guests like the taste of the à la carte dishes but say portions are small and service is slow. The listed breakfast styles are Continental, American and breakfast to go. Whether breakfast is included in your rate is not confirmed, so check the rate details.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put this hotel at €59.95 a night. The sample median was €89.91, so it came in 33% below the middle of the market. These are not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, HYPE STATES Cali, scores higher at 9.2 but is a 3-star hotel at €83.73 a night. Our Luxury pick, Hotel Dann Cali, is a 5-star with an 8.9 score at €100.50 a night. You give up a few tenths of a point in guest score here and save roughly €24 to €40 a night.
Listed facilities include free Wi-Fi, a restaurant, a garden and air conditioning. Opening times and any fees are not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 13 eligible properties in Cali. After setting aside the upscale choice, this hotel had the lowest eligible reference price, which is how our Budget slot works. A 4-star rating, more than 1,200 reviews and a 9.4 location score made it an easy fit for that slot.
