I stayed at the hotel in a great location right in the historical center of the city, close to all tourist attractions. The rooms were connected by an inaccessible patio, which brought in natural light and ventilation but also every sound from adjacent rooms. The showers were spacious, with hot water, and the breakfast provided was adequate with good security measures in place.

The service was great overall, especially Adriana who was very helpful and lovely, although at times there seemed to be a lack of interest. The reception area being open resulted in noise carrying to the rooms.

The location in the historical center was convenient for exploring the city's attractions but was noted to have some safety concerns, especially if traveling alone. It's ideal for sightseeing but should be enjoyed early to avoid issues.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, right in the heart of Bogota's La Candelaria historic neighborhood, surrounded by cultural and tourist attractions, but the noisy surroundings at night made me uncertain about venturing out after dark. The rooms, though small and basic with just a 90 cm single bed, provided natural light and ventilation, but every sound from neighboring rooms felt intrusive. Despite language barriers, the hotel staff were helpful and attentive, going out of their way to assist guests despite appearing understaffed. The dining experience was disappointing, with monotonous and unappetizing meals served daily, offering little variety or warmth, although the courtyard setting was charming. The facilities were average, lacking standout amenities but functional for a short stay.

I found the hotel to have spacious rooms with balconies, which were a plus, but being on the Main Street made it quite loud at times. The service was friendly, but communication was a bit challenging. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, although some areas could be off-putting. The dining options were limited, but the staff made an effort to assist. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was fantastic, being within walking distance of many attractions in downtown Bogota and offering a view of the beautiful courtyard dining area, some aspects could be improved like the noise from the street and the lack of daily room cleaning. The hotel was functional for experiencing the city's core, but the constant cleaning noise and limited staff presence were drawbacks.

Rooms

The rooms weren't cleaned daily, and I had to ask for fresh towels. However, the interior hotel rooms opening to the courtyard dining area were nice.
