Bogotá hotellit Candelaria

Plussat: The look of the property was lovely and the staff were really polite and helpful. The location is great. The restaurant in the hotel serves delicious food. The rooms have good amenities.

Miinukset: Unfortunately, not the hotel’s fault, but there was a movie premier on when we were leaving so we had to walk for a while across Bolivar square and towards gold museum before we could get a taxi. Would normally be ok but suitcase was heavy. Would be better if served drinks at pool area. Gin and tonic would be nice or creamer for coffee which is already there. Also had to keep asking for jacuzzi to be turned on. But these are just polite suggestions. Hotel was great.

Plussat: The SPA -- very relaxing

Miinukset: There were no one minding the business center -- had to go bother the front desk to print out broading pass

Plussat: The location of the hotel, rooms are big and with windows (after one month of traveling in Colombia, we saw that it is not as usual as it should be), the breakfast.

Miinukset: The room we got (210) was just next to the patio where there is a restaurant. Thus, we could not sleep very well, as there were people drinking till late night and it was very noisy. The staff at the hotel did nothing to calm them. At 7 am a family with very noisy kids was having breakfast and obviously woke us up. The spa zone was ok, but you need to buy a cap to be able to enter the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the team working in the spa zone do nothing to keep the calmness of the place. Again, a person was jumping in and out of the swimming pool, making everyone wet. In the end, all the guests, including us, left the zone cause it was very hard to stand. Lastly, the hotel was not able to arrange an airport transfer for us. After three emails to the hotel, we finally got a reply that a driver would be waiting for us. Upon arrival, there was literally no person. We ended up taking a public taxi, which is even a better option (the hotel charges 77.000 pesos, while the public taxi costs 35.000).

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff, really good food, and great recommendations about where to eat and what to see in the neighborhood

Plussat: Located 1 block from Plaza de Bolivar in Candeleria; very good breakfast, room small but great shower and comfortable bed; excellent on-site Restaurant for dinner.

Miinukset: Lots of stairs (1/2 flight from main floors to rooms), area is essentially dead at night - restaurants within walking distance nonexistent.

Plussat: staff were very hospitable, they accommodated my needs and made adjustments to my stay based on my emerging circumstances. the service was excellent.

Plussat: Excellent location in the heart of the Candelaria old town. Comfortable bed. Very clean. Attention to detail

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet was disappointing

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: To increase the ambiance of the hotel, I would recommend adding some light music around the hotel. It felt very quiet and bland walking around the propert and while enjoying breakfast.

Plussat: It’s a beautiful old colonial building

Miinukset: I have learnt my lesson about staying on old buildings you hear everything even what’s going on in the room next door in the middle of the night The beds are creaky The staff are noisy during the night in the kitchen If you want a good night sleep don’t stay here

Plussat: Great location, friendly staff, spa and pool were great

Plussat: The building is beautiful

Miinukset: The breakfast was ordinary and when I got there the breakfast buffet table was empty and I had to encourage the staff to bring out more also there was a United Nations business meeting going on in the breakfast area and I who was on a holiday had to sit there and listen and feel like I was back at work they were very loud The place really fires up at around 3am when the kitchen staff seem to start preparing with no consideration to the noise they are making Also you can hear the activity going on in the other rooms and the water and toilets been flushed. Feels more like your staying at a hostel

Plussat: Very clean.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Great location, airport pick up service worked out perfectly well, nice staff. The rooms are very small, however, we knew this before as the hotel itself is in an old building in the centre of the old Town. Museo de oro, the funicular, Restaurants, plaza bolivar... are all within walking dustance

Plussat: The location is perfect! The staff are very friendly and the room was way better than I expected for the price! This hotel is a great value

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit small

Plussat: Friendly staff. Clean. Good location.

Miinukset: A little dark in the room

Plussat: Friendly people, great bed, clean bathroom, very save neighborhood, perfect location to explore Bogota in 2 days

Miinukset: Little bit noisy in the morning, don’t forget your eye mask, breakfast could be more extensive

Plussat: Love this hotel - Great location & super friendly staff. Coming back for my third stay next month!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Bed was clean

Plussat: Bed very comfortable and clean.

Miinukset: Soap and shampoo is not available without pay

Plussat: Great Service, specially Karen and Santiago! They made me feel welcome!

Miinukset: There was no hot water in my bathroom sink

Plussat: Clean rooms and nice staff. Good water pressure.

Miinukset: They charged me an additional 60% up charge for having my girlfriend with me which is ridiculous. We even left before the breakfast so this cost is not justified at all. I paid for a private room so that should include my girl as a guest. Also the club next door gets pretty loud if you try to go to bed before 3am.

Plussat: Hotellin henkilökunta oli mahtavaa, ystävällisiä ja avuliaita ihmisiä.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli hyvin vaatimaton, paahtoleivän palat kinkulla ja juustolla, sekä mehu ja tee. Sen tarjosi samoissa tiloissa toimiva eri yrittäjä, jonka toiminta oli ymmärtääkseni jonkinlaisessa murrosvaiheessa. Hotellissa ei ollut lämmitystä. Bogota voi olla myös kylmä kaupunki, mistä johtuen hotellissa oli viileätä ja kosteata riippuen kelistä.

Plussat: Position was good for la Candelaria. rooms were clean. not much more to say.

Miinukset: breakfast was minimal. rooms where really small and bunk beds were definitely too short.

Plussat: Explanation of the city centre

Miinukset: Room really small, showers uncomfortable --> no space to change your clothes, mattress of the bed very hard and out of gum, only 8 minutes of hot water, no key to get into the hostel

Plussat: Very nice staff, I would have stayed longer if it would have not been for the mattress.

Miinukset: The mattress was inside of a leather cover so i kept sliding down ending up with a stiff back in the process. No power point in room.

Plussat: Extremely nice and helpful lady who is an owner. Even thoug she didn't speak English she was able to explain us everything we needed to know about the city, neighbourhood, restaurants and safety issues. Very good localization, close to everything important in the La Candelaria. Good WIFI.

Miinukset: Rooms small and no private bathroom. Hot water only for 7 minutes in the shower, but that wasn't really a big problem.

Plussat: Yolanda was the perfect host. She was very patient with our lack of Spanish and still used a map to show us the main tourist attractions and chatted using loads of gestures to help us understand. The location was great and it was the perfect place to stay in Bogota.

Miinukset: Worst Hostel we had on our trip! The sheets were full of dead little insects, there was blood on the wall and you cannot call the mattress a mattress. Also the room was even smaller than expected so that we had to sleep with our backpacks on the bed. Although Yolanda was very friendly we had a fue issues with her: we had to be back before 12 and one time we couldn't enter the hostel because she wasn't there and forgot to leave us the keys. It was at night, we had some valuable stuff with us and it was getting a little bit dangerous for us. We wouldn't recommend this hostel (if you can call it like this)!

Plussat: The hostel is in an amazing location- literally few minutes walk from lots of bars, restaurants, street food vendors. It felt safe. The host doesn't speak English but we managed with our Spanish and she was most helpful. Helped us getting to places without taking a taxi, gave us an advice on where to go for food... All in all, she's a heart and soul of that place so if you need a place to stay for a couple of nights, i'd recommend this one.

Miinukset: Bed covered in a plastic sheet...

Plussat: The owner is very helpful, limited English and I have limited Spanish but she made a big effort to tell us what to do

Miinukset: Beds are pretty uncomfortable ands small for 2 people

Plussat: The location is amazing. Felt very safe. Near everything. Easy to walk around. There’s a cute little parc near with lots entertainments and a nice vibe.

Miinukset: It felt like we were staying at our mom’s place, but not in the good sens. We had to say when we were going out, when we were thinking of coming back, the owner always locked the doors with chain so we had to ask her to let us out and in. We went out and she wasn’t happy that we came back late so she told us we couldn’t go out later than midnight. We had no autonomy whatsoever. And we kept thinking, what would happen if there’s a fire? We are locked inside so it’s really not safe. She told us we couldn’t take ling showers. It felt like we were always watched. The beds were a bit uncomfortable. And it was cold. So cold. The rooms aren’t well isolated so it’s as cold outside then it is inside. Very humid too.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Booked for a few days but got told I could not stay long. Also had to be back before 12!!

Plussat: There was a hot shower - rare thing in hostels in Colombia!
