Porton de Oviedo & de la 70 Same?

To confuse you even further I am almost positive its called *Porton de Medellin* and is located right down the street from Oviedo Mall. If that's the one your talking about its a very nice hotel. About a year ago I had to put a co-worker from the US in that hotel becauase all other hotels in the area were booked. The only downside was that at the time it had no high-speed internet, though, this may have changed since then.

Not the same They are not the same. Porton de oviedo is located in El Poblado, nearby the metro station (Aguacatala). I believe it changed it's name a few years ago. Porton de la 70 is located neaby the Estadio, a few blocks away from the metro station (estadio), but at the other side of the city... if you need anything else, just ask.

Daniel, el Paisa

Porton I might add that Porton de Oviedo is a four star hotel whereas the Porton de la 70 is a standard small hotel.

Porton de Oviedo is located almost adjacent to the Oviedo Mall in the Poblado area of Medellin. It is a very nice, clean, upmarket hotel.

I stayed there recently and enjoyed the oversized guest room with marble bathroom. The service was excellent and the location was very safe and secure.

This hotel was actually at one time called Hotel Mercure, but is now changed names to Hotel Porton de Oviedo.
