A hotel with character, this will be one of my favorites. The room was large, as I think there are only 5, and obviously modernized with a shower and toilet from the original, but it was done well and it's very comfortable. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, with breakfasts that are made to order, and they even allow you to order two on those days you are extremely peckish. There is an elevator too! Very clean, very safe and delightfully beautiful.

Lovely place to stay in Candelaria

We stayed in a lovely quiet room (La Traviata) which was beautifully decorated. The bed was huge and firm and they gave us complementary bottles of water. The bathrobes were a nice touch as it is quite chilly in Bogota. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water.
Richard was extremely helpful from checkin onwards and made us fantastic coffee, freshly squeezed juice, french toast and fruit plates for breakfast. The breakfast was made to order with a wide range of options to choose from, including a variety of fresh juices, fruit plates, pancakes and cooked breakfasts if you wanted them.
Francisco was also really helpful and friendly. He booked us a taxi for the airport which made things really easy.
The hotel is beautiful and a very short walk from the Museo Botero and the cathedral among other sites. It is very secure and we felt very safe wandering around the Candelaria area.
We would highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is 180 years old and only has five rooms. It was a private residence until 15 years ago they converted to a hotel it’s like living in a 200-year-old mansion in Europe. The way would be over €1000. I paid 169 a night 25 foot ceilings antiques and incredibly helpful staff …

This hotel is all about Richard. They should pay him double whatever they are paying him. Richard greeted me on arrival, welcomed me, fixed my safe, made and served breakfast, let me in and out the door, gave me an umbrella, helped me with Ubers, tours, and directions, and walked me to my Uber when I left.

The property is aesthetically remarkable with sprawling, luxurious rooms, an amazing included made-to-order breakfast, free wifi, an in room safe and a fabulous location walking distance to all tours and all things historic! The ONLY reason I have this a four rating, which would’ve been a 2 or 3 without Richard, is that there was limited hot water, construction carrying on outside the room, rusted out stairs, unnecessarily oversized room keys, NO temperature control available, you could hear the rain dripping on the inside of the ceiling from the roof, the fire alarm needed batteries and beeped for three days, and you have to be buzzed in and literally let out the door. This is remarkably inconvenient, particularly when it’s pouring down rain and there’s no overhang. Also, Uber will drop you off here but not pick you up here. Have Richard assist you. He was TRULY remarkable.

The Orchids, Be Amazed As You Secretly Enter....

Bogota Colombia comes alive in the area where The Orchids is located. Close to impressive important historical and cultural sites (within walking distance). Don't look for The Orchids hotel to stand out with bright signage and impressive driveways but be amazed as you are secretly allowed to enter it's tiny doors. The Orchids is a historical, elegant and delicately restored gem. Enjoy the difference between feeling and being treated like royalty in the hotel and the edgy feel of the busy streets and the Plaza de Bolivar and downtown Bogota steps away. The Orchids staff is knowledgeable and professional. attentive to your every need. Impressive stay.

Beautiful, but overpriced and a bit dysfunctional

I stayed at The Orchids for several nights while on business in Bogota. The hotel was gorgeous, but overpriced for what it is. The walls are very thin so while working or trying to rest during the day I could clearly hear the staff talking loudly and goofing around on the floor below. There also is no heating, so the staff helpfully brought a portable fire place. On the second night, however, the fire place began smoking and set off the fire alarm in the entire hotel. My room smelled like kerosene after that. Finally, on my first morning the breakfast person was late, causing me to miss breakfast because I had to get to a meeting that morning. Perks were the delicious breakfast (when available), friendly staff and the ambience. I wouldn't stay here again, however.

Great location, Elegant style

When I stayed here, I felt like back to the middle century. The room was very elegant and staffs are very kind. Breakfast was great!
One thing, There's no heating system. So, it could be cold during the night in December.
However, hotel is located very close with Botero Museum and Bolivar square, so it's great to walk around La Candelaria area.
