13 Hotels Near Llanogrande Airport Reviewed: The Full Breakdown
1. Hotel Campestre Refugio Ecuestre Rionegro
The Vibe
This is the nature retreat option — 15 km from MDE but worlds away in quiet. The gardens and horse-country setting earned a 9.1 Comfort score, and guests rave about the “beautiful nature setting.” Think rural tranquility with staff friendliness at 8.9.
What You Actually Get
Free private parking is on-site, which matters when you’re coming from the airport. The restaurant serves breakfast and lunch, and the breakfast itself scores as “good” in guest feedback. Wi-Fi runs at 8.5 — acceptable for basic browsing but don’t count on streaming-heavy work. Family rooms are available, though note children 3+ are charged as adults. The license number (116554) is registered, and they specifically prohibit bachelor(ette) parties, so this is a relaxed, family-oriented spot.
Choose this if: You want a quiet, nature-filled sleep after landing — and you don’t mind a 15 km drive from the terminal.

2. La Carpita Hotel
The Vibe
Located in the El Poblado district, this is your city-meets-airport option. The 17 km distance from MDE is a short drive, but you’re actually closer to Olaya Herrera (2.2 km) — making it a solid pick if you’re transiting domestically too. Staff scored 9.1, the best in this property’s data.
What You Actually Get
Air conditioning is confirmed in rooms (a guest asked, the property answered “Aire acondicionado”). Rooms are spacious with “huge wardrobes” per recent guests. Wi-Fi clocks in at 9.0, which is genuinely fast enough for remote work or streaming. The excellent breakfast costs about €2 extra — cheap for what guests call a highlight. The guesthouse-style setup means restaurant reservations are available, and room service operates as well. Luggage-friendly check-out stretches from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM.
Choose this if: You’re routing through Olaya Herrera too, or need strong Wi-Fi within a short drive of MDE.
3. Casa Rose Hotel
The Vibe
Casa Rose is a 4-star property 13 km from MDE, with a 9.7 Comfort score — the second-highest comfort rating across all 13 properties. Guests describe it as “one of our best stays in 2 months in Colombia.” The shared lounge, terrace, restaurant, and bar create a proper hotel atmosphere, not a roadside stop.
What You Actually Get
A concierge service and tour desk help you plan onward travel — useful if you’re using this as a base to explore the Antioquia region. The tea/coffee maker in all rooms is a small but appreciated touch after a flight. Free Wi-Fi scores 8.5, consistent but not stellar. Parking is available at a partner lot three blocks away (Los Libertadores) at a special guest rate — motorbike parking costs COP $7,000/day per the property’s own answer. Note: the property requires a photo ID and credit card at check-in, and bank transfer payment before arrival.
Choose this if: You value comfort above all — this scores 9.7, the highest comfort score on this list.
4. Hotel Plaza Garibaldi
The Vibe
This is the budget-conscious pick — 25 km from MDE but with a 9.0 Location score because it sits “RIGHT on the square” per guests. The 4-star tag might raise eyebrows given the 8.3 overall rating, but the staff score at 9.1 and the 8.9 Cleanliness keep it honest. Free coffee in a secure building.
What You Actually Get
Hotel Plaza Garibaldi operates strictly on cash — no cards accepted. The 6.6 Wi-Fi score is the second-lowest on this list, so don’t bank on streaming. Family rooms are available, and children 6+ are charged as adults. Check-in runs until 11:30 PM, which is generous if your MDE flight arrives late. Guests consistently mention the security: “Secure entrance at all times.” The property is in Caldas proper, 15 km from Olaya Herrera and 25 km from MDE, making it a budget base rather than a sprint-to-the-gate option.
Choose this if: Your budget is tight and you prefer cash-only simplicity with a secure, central location.
5. HOTEL LA POSADA DEL ZAGUÁN
The Vibe
At 9 miles from MDE, this is one of the closer options for airport access. The 9.5 Location score is backed by guests calling it “excellent” and noting “elegant rooms, beautiful setting.” The garden view rooms and shared terrace create a small-hotel charm that punches above its 8.6 overall rating.
What You Actually Get
Free Wi-Fi is available but scores 7.6 — fine for messaging, frustrating for video calls. Rooms are “clean and spacious” per guest feedback, and the staff (9.2) is consistently praised. The 9.1 Cleanliness and 9.1 Comfort scores are solid. A garden and shared lounge give common space, and restaurant reservations are possible. The property has no age restriction for check-in. Note: Wi-Fi reliability was addressed by the property — they use TIGO UNE network and describe it as “very good internet,” though guest scores tell a slightly different story.
Choose this if: Location is your priority — at 9.5, you won’t find many closer, better-situated hotels near MDE.
6. Hotel CSI Llanogrande
The Vibe
At 3.4 miles from MDE, this is your closest landing pad. The name “Llanogrande” matches the keyword directly, and guests highlight the garden and good breakfast. It’s a short-drive property — not walkable to the terminal, but you’ll be through immigration and in your room within 10 minutes by taxi or Uber.
What You Actually Get
This is the most pet-friendly option on the list — pets are allowed with NO extra charges, just a request. The free private parking is a bonus if you’re renting a car at the airport. Wi-Fi scores a perfect 10.0, the joint-highest across all properties. The breakfast is rated “Very Good” and included. The garden and terrace are well-maintained per guest photos. Check-in has a tight window (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM), so coordinate with your flight arrival carefully. Barbecue facilities are available for guest use.
Choose this if: You want the shortest ride from MDE tarmac to pillow, especially if traveling with a pet.
7. Puesta de Sol El Carmen de Viboral
The Vibe
The only apartment-style property on this list, and it delivers. At 13 km from MDE, the 9.6 Staff score suggests the host goes above and beyond. Guests call it “excellent location to the center square” with “large apartment which has a washer.” This is the extended-stay specialist.
What You Actually Get
A full kitchen and washing machine are the headline features — rare for properties near MDE. The 9.4 Value score confirms you’re getting more space for the price. Free parking is on-street with security cameras, and a private paid lot can be arranged nearby. Pets are free with no extra charges, though a 40,000 COP surcharge applies (note the fine print says “any pet brought will incur a surcharge of 40,000 COP” — clarify this with the property before arrival). Wi-Fi scores 9.0, solid for remote work. The property communicates in Spanish only, so non-Spanish speakers should use translation tools.
Choose this if: You’re on a long stay or planning to cook — the full kitchen is unmatched in this list.

8. Hotel Caldas Plaza
The Vibe
Hotel Caldas Plaza is 16 miles from MDE and earns an 8.7 overall. But the real story is the staff: 9.3. Guest Diego was specifically named for going above and beyond (“he called the parquedero to let them know I was coming”). The 3-star rating keeps expectations realistic — no air conditioning, but fans in all rooms.
What You Actually Get
No air conditioning — but the property confirmed every room has a fan, and the 9.0 Comfort score suggests guests aren’t bothered. Wi-Fi scores 8.0, described by the hotel as “rápido con buena cobertura.” Free pet stays on request (no extra charges). Check-out starts at 5:00 AM — incredibly early, designed for early-flight travelers. Family rooms available with no age-based child surcharges (children of all ages welcome at standard rates). The location is near El Poblado Park (12 miles) and Olaya Herrera Airport (10 miles) for domestic connections.
Choose this if: Early flights are your reality — the 5:00 AM check-out window is built for airport runners.
9. Alfahar Hotel
The Vibe
This is the crown jewel — 9.5/10 Exceptional, 8 miles from MDE, and described by guests as “beautiful new facility. Everything was clean and top-notch.” Everything about it signals new construction: spotless, modern, and meticulously maintained. The only property on this list with an indoor swimming pool.
What You Actually Get
An indoor swimming pool is the standout amenity — unexpected 8 miles from an airport. The 9.8 Comfort score is the highest across all 13 properties. Wi-Fi scores a perfect 10.0, meaning zero connectivity issues. Free private parking is on-site. An airport shuttle is available, which is key for this proximity-focused guide. The breakfast is rated “Exceptional” and included. The 9.7 Cleanliness and 9.6 Facilities scores confirm this is a near-new property. No pets allowed, and children 13+ are charged as adults. The garden and terrace add to the premium feel.
Choose this if: You want the absolute best near MDE — Alfahar’s scores are unmatched across every category.
10. Hotel Santamaria INN
The Vibe
Hotel Santamaria INN sits in La Ceja, 15 km from MDE, with a Location score of 9.9 — the highest in this entire list. Guests consistently call out the “great location” and “cute hotel” vibe. If being exactly where things are happening matters more than being closest to the runway, this is your pick.
What You Actually Get
Perfect 10.0 Wi-Fi — joint best with Alfahar and CSI Llanogrande. The 9.2 Cleanliness and 9.1 Staff scores are strong. Breakfast is available at €5 optional add-on, offered as Continental or American style. Rooms with fans (no AC mentioned) but the 9.0 Comfort suggests guests aren’t suffering. Check-in has a tight 3:00-5:00 PM window — plan accordingly. The location overlooks La Ceja’s main square, putting you in walking distance of restaurants and bars. Guests recommend choosing a “better room” as the baseline units are functional but not fancy.
Choose this if: You want to be in the heart of La Ceja with flawless internet — this is the most central hotel near MDE.
11. Casa Finca Paititi
The Vibe
At 3.5 miles from MDE, Casa Finca Paititi ties with CSI Llanogrande for closest airport proximity. But the vibe couldn’t be more different — this is a country house with “a perfectly adorned, perfectly quiet place to recuperate in privacy” per guests. Romantic, artistic, and green.
What You Actually Get
A full kitchen is available, making this a strong option for longer stays. The 9.6 Location score reflects the proximity to MDE, but also the access to nature. An airport shuttle is available — essential since this is a rural property. Wi-Fi scores 9.2, solid. Free private parking is on-site. The public bath is a unique feature. Children are not allowed, making this a strict adults-only retreat. Cash-only payments. Check-in ends at 9:00 PM sharp — late arrivals won’t work without prior coordination.
Choose this if: You want airport proximity with total rural privacy and don’t need 24-hour front desk support.
12. Alto Paraiso Glamping “A”
The Vibe
Yes, glamping 13 km from MDE. Alto Paraiso scores 9.2 overall with a Comfort rating of 9.7 — tied with Casa Rose for the highest in this list. One guest called it “one of the best accommodations I have had in Colombia.” This is the experiential choice, not the practical one.
What You Actually Get
A hot tub is the headline feature — unexpected this close to an airport. The 9.6 Cleanliness and 9.4 Value scores suggest the experience delivers. Wi-Fi scores 6.3 — the lowest on this list — so this is a digital detox glamping setup, not a workspace. Free private parking on-site. Family rooms are available but children are not allowed. Cash-only. Good breakfast included. Check-in cuts off at 8:00 PM — the earliest of any property here — so coordinate your MDE arrival carefully. Garden views from the glamping units.
Choose this if: You want an experience, not just a bed — the hot tub glamping is unique among MDE-area hotels.
13. Hotel 50 Suites
The Vibe
The newest entry on this list (20+ reviews, so relatively undiscovered). At 16 miles from MDE, it’s the furthest option, but the 9.0 Cleanliness score stands out for a 3-star. Guests mention it’s “cerca al parque” (close to the park) with “buena atención” (good service).
What You Actually Get
Free Wi-Fi scores 7.5 — functional but not fast. Pets are allowed on request with no extra charges. A terrace is available for guests. The 8.9 Comfort and 8.9 Value scores are respectable for a 3-star. Check-in runs from 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM — the second-earliest cutoff. The property requires photo ID and credit card at check-in. Located in Caldas, it’s also 10 miles from Olaya Herrera for domestic connections. The low review count means fewer data points, so weigh the 8.2 score with that context.
Choose this if: You want a clean, no-frills base near Caldas park with pet-friendly policy and a tight budget.
