This hotel ceased operations over four months ago. What is it sitll doing on your feed Expedia? I got to the property near midnight last week only to find out that it had closed down. If the taxi driver didn't wait for me until I got in, I would've been stranded in a foreign city all by myself at midnight. I had to go drving around looking for a place to stay. Since I made the booking throught your site, was charged for my stay in december and didn't get the service, I am requesting a refund. Please remove this hotel from your site.

The service of the staff saved our stay

The room we stayed in was tiny and the beds were super hard , the staff was super friendly especially Juan who saved us by helping order a pizza from a nearby restaurant , as I could not communicate with thru restaurant myself . The hotel is in the middle of everything and a short walk to just about all the attractions you would want to see .

Poor cleaning, Poor sleep,Disrespect, Overcharge

The first hour in the room I went to the bathroom while my husband went to get some food and got trapped in there. There was no knob at the door but there was a latch. Thank goodness my husband came back soon or God knows how long I would be lock there. I can't imagine the nightmare if I was alone (We were on the 3rd floor). Cleaning lady entered the room one day without even knocking catching us semi naked getting ready to go out. Another day the room got no cleaning at all. There were 2 old towels in the room when we arrived, only one in the second and third nights. The most annoying was the glass window they have from the room into the hallway with a motion sensor light right at it. Every time someone walked on the hallway in the middle of the night the light would go on and wake us up. There was no way to close/block those 2 glass openings. When we checked out we were possessed to hear that they were charging us U$ 30 for stains on towels. I do acknowledge that my hair accidently LIGHTLY stained a towel but not only no hotel has ever charged me for something like this but the amount charged was absurd. The towel was OLD and falling apart and there was nothing written anywhere about the charge for accidents. U$ 30,00 or COP 60.000,00 could buy a LOT of towels in Bogota. They were outraged but the staff treated us with the outmost disrespect. They called me a cab while we were discussing the charge to try to get rid of us. It was a horrible experience.

all style, no substance

Don't believe the pictures. Believe the reviews. We made the mistake of getting carried away by the beautiful pictures. The hotel is in fact pretty but the rooms are pretty bare and small. Don't expect a place to hang your clothes, a chair, or even towels. We had to ask four times before getting any towels (and wait about 10 hours). We also had to wait half an hour for our room at 6 pm. The dining room is pretty much for show (with the exception of breakfast). All restaurants around the area close around 5-6 pm and, unless you take a cab, you must order take out. The hotel doesn't serve any food. We even asked for a fork and we were told that they can't give you one at night. Spend the extra 10 dollars and stay in a better hotel/neighborhood.

Stad not flexible and noisy

We arrived early after a long trip, but check-in time is 3 o'clock. We tried to check in at 3, but we had to wait untill 5 o'clock, because something went wrong with the reservation... We we're a bit late for breakfast, so we couldn't get anything anymore... Room was clean, but it was noisy; cars were driving through the room... And the hotel is not in candelaria, but in centro, that's good to know!

Good location but many issues.

Ambar is a reasonable enough hotel but a few niggly issues lowered our impression significantly. Depending on the location of your room, you may have a window overlooking the breakfast area, or if you are unlucky you could end up with a window that overlooks a tiny walled box used by previous guests to hide cigarette butts. Another issue was that the housekeeping staff started their rounds at around 6am, being noisy as they did so. You were often disturbed before 10am by somebody wanting to clean your room and as the hotel has paper-thin walls, the hotel is incredibly loud. We found it not to be a place to stay if you are in need of a good nights sleep. We were also subject to a number of mis-dialled alarm calls and the staff were unapologetic. Despite the negatives, this hotel provides good showers (hot and high-pressured) and the TV has a great range of channels, with some even in English.

Very convenient for young or casual travellers

A nice place, recently renovated and conveniently placed in the city center. Clean rooms and gentle people. The only issue you may eventually incur is that there is no closet to hang and store your clothes. I asked for a quiet room and - despite an early check in - I was immediately attended and got a nice one. I only had a problem with my early checkout, as the credit card terninal was not working and I ended up paying cash.

Excellente estadia.Todos los empleados del hotel son muy amable y siempre listos para ayudar, en particular 5 estrellas para Carolina en la recepcion. El hotel es muy cerca a todo lo de interes en Bogota. Las habitaciones son agradables pero faltan un amario. Los colchones son de lujo y los banos con ducha caliente fantasticos. El desayuno es frugal pero con tanto lugar de buenas comidas de todos los lados no hace falta. El hotel es muy ceca a la estacion del Transmillenio "Las nieves" lo que permite de ir a cualquier lugar de Bogota facilmente y a precio economico. En conclusion un hotel a recommenda por los viajeros a Bogota con un presupuesto economico.

Mala administración / Mismanagement

Hicimos la reserva a través de esta página y al llegar al hotel nos dijeron que no tenían la reserva. Después de enseñarles los papeles de la reserva no querían respetarnos la oferta, tras discutir algo más de una hora, de pié, cansados del viaje y viendo como entraban nuevos huéspedes y les preguntaban ¿Colombianos? y les hablaban en voz baja para decirles un precio más bajo, decidí irme. Fue entonces cuando respetaron mi reserva. La habitación, a parte de pequeña, la puerta de la entrada choca con la primera cama, al llegar no tenía toallas y nos las dieron por la noche. No hay armarios en las habitaciones. El desayuno escaso. La ventana da al patio interior donde se desayuna y se escucha todo, lo que más se oye es el teléfono de recepción. // We booked through this website and on arrival we were told they had no booking. After showing the roles of the reserve did not want to respect the offer, after discussing something over an hour, standing, tired from traveling and seeing new guests entered and asked les Colombians? and they talked quietly to tell a lower price, I decided to go. It was then that they respected my reservation. The room, a small part of the front door collides with the first bed to get had no towels and got them at night. There are no lockers in the rooms. Good parking. The window overlooking the courtyard where you have breakfast and heard everything, what you hear is the phone reception.
