Increíble la atención, la señora que lo hace siempre muy atenta igual que la chica siempre muy atentas lo recomiendo mucho además de qué me apoyaron con 1 Taxi con el cual me sentí totalmente segura en todo momento.

Horrible hotel! The worst ever! All the amenities they said in the app was not in the room. The only soap they have was the liquid hand soap. I asked the receptionist and they said they don’t provide anything than the hand soap. Checking in was super slow. Took them to checked me in 45 minutes of waiting. The hotel need the renovation, very dirty room, towels are like rugs, the hot and cold water in the shower were not regulated properly. Either too hot or too cold. Staffs were so unfriendly. They locked me out at 1 pm and waited outside for 20 minutes. They didn’t hear the doorbell and me banging in the door. I was almost late to my tour at 2 pm. The only nice things in that hotel is close to the plaza. I like their living room also.

Checking in was horrible, the place need renovation. All the amenities that they promised in the app is not there. They only provided liquid hand soap. You need to schedule a day before you can have the cleaning in the room which they didn’t discussed it during the check in. No one in the staffs speaking English. The room that I stayed 19 has a problem with hot and cold water in the shower. The receptionist had a lunch break and the other person who locked the gate and I cannot come in even though I doorbell and knocked the door. Waited 20 minutes outside and almost late in my tour.

The location was amazing, the hotel was fantastic! It was worth at least a few days, but I ended up staying one more day. I tried to book the shuttle to the hotel, and I received no response, which was my only qualm. However, I just took an Uber, so it wasn't a big deal. They helped me with a driver back to the airport, though, for a good price. Breakfast was good and the staff are great! They lock the door at night, all you have to do is ring the bell and they come open it , the location only has nighttime activities on the weekend anyway. Definitely THE option to stay at. Always felt safe in the area.

This is the most unusual hotel i have ever stayed in. Its more like an antique shop/museum. All sorts of crazy rooms with tons of antiques. The rooms themselves are very basic and most have a loft that is accessed by a very steep staircase. Depending on the room either your bed is on the loft, or it is a small sitting area. It is obviously an old mansion that has been repurposed. Due to.the very high ceilings, you can hear everything. Everything. Skip the breakfast. It could use some sprucing up. All in all, if you can handle a very basic room, its worth staying for a night just to experience this unusual hotel.

Magical place to stay

If you are looking for a very affordable hotel this is it. If you get a room downstairs it may be a little noisy in the AM after 8 as it is an older place and the walls are thin and the doors made of stained glass. No joke but very safe and secure. Just a few minute walk to Bolivar Square and Botero museums. We adored this hotel.

Flea bitten palace

First, the good. This hotel is housed in a fabulous Victorian palace close to Plaza Bolovar, the BOTERO, and some excellent restaurants. The block itself is a Jewelry row, mostly discount places that both buy and sell. The rooms are inventively and charmingly adapted. The courtyard and public spaces are fabulous with what appears to be period furniture and numerous art works. The area is relatively safe but the Candelaria does have late night robberies, often of people walking from the bars. Hot water scarce after 8:30 am but good earlier. Free breakfast was nothing special, though i loved the covered courtyard where it was served. This hotel was very affordable for the size and quality of the rooms, the public spaces, and the good location. The bad: I got some fresh insect bites while sleeping there, most likely bed bugs. The front desk didn’t give me the impression that they were going to get right on it. It’s an expensive problem, hard to fix, the front desk guy said. And maybe I just got bitten “out in the world”, by mosquitoes or something. The bite pattern I had was more typical of bed bugs. Desm staff didn’t speak much English so we had to enlist the aid of another guest to translate. Bedbugs are an unfortunate reality these days, and any hotel, regardless of price or cleanliness, can be affected. However the staff here didn’t treat the issue with the urgency it called for, or indicate that they were going to do anything at all.

Não vale a nota q tem!

A meu ver, a nota está acima do q é. Isto ñ significa q seja um hotel ruim, mas tem coisas são relevantes. O principal, é a falta de "privacidade auditiva". Do meu quarto, escutava-se tudo q se conversava na recepção e dos quartos vizinhos; sem falar no ruído qdo andavam no quarto de cima. O prédio é antigo, com piso de madeira. O box do chuveiro ñ é fechado e a água varia muito de temperatura. Achei desnecessário a atendente me dizer q, caso houvesse alguma mancha no lençol, eu seria cobrado. No máximo, isto deveria estar escrito num normativo. O hotel é bastante limpo; a cama é ótima e o café-da-manhã, razoável. A localização é excelente!

This is a unique place to stay - an affordable 200 yr old house with many of the rooms including sitting areas. However, these rooms wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues as they involve stairs up to a loft bedroom. There are also multiple lounge areas for guests to relax amongst a mix of antiques and tchotchkes. The staff were exceedingly pleasant to deal with, and the breakfast delicious (if repetitive) - the raspberry jam was so good. The location was absolutely perfect for seeing everything in the neighbourhood, but situated on a quieter street. Just around the corner from the Botero museum complex, La Puerta Falsa and a few blocks from Plaza Bolivar and the Pasaje Rivas market.

Great spot in La Candelaria

We enjoyed our three nights in Bogotá in large part because of the great location of this hotel in La Candelaria. We could safely and quickly walk to all the sights we wanted to see. The hotel was a historical, rambling building with many nooks and crannies. There were several common areas, and we had a choice of our rooms. Our rooms were comfortable and clean, though the stairs to the loft were a little perilous. The included breakfast was nice. Finally, Joanna at the front desk was friendly and helpful, coordinating our transportation and giving us recommendations.
