There was a set breakfast every morning that was included in the rate of the room.

There were three choices daily:

1. Fried egg 🍳 with rice 🍚.
2. Fresh fruit 🍎 🍉 🍌
3. Fried egg 🍳 with arepas.
This included fresh juice 🧃 and coffee ☕️

It was very reasonable for the 10 days which included breakfast. The room had two small single beds and a full bathroom. The beds were horrendously small by American standards however the rooms were cleaned daily and well maintained.

Hotel is in the heart of Chapinero.
Free breakfast. Beautiful rooftop bar.
Not too fancy. You get more than what you pay.
What make this hotel special is its people.
Daisy is always helpful and willing to accommodate request and questions.
The check in agent overnight is also very efficient checking in late arrivals to get on their way.
I arrived 4am at the hotel and waited not even 2mins to get checked in and get my room.
Way to go!!!

I have been staying at this property for few sometimes and I always love the warm approach of the staff. Leslie, one of the staff is always ready to answer your questions and open to give recommendation about the city.
Very affordable place to stay and in the middle of Bogota City.
Will stay here again.

This hotel is located at the busy traffic intersection. during the night you can hear lot of traffic noise in your room and you can only sleep if you are very tired. Rooms are very small. Wi-Fi is very good. they have a restaurant at the 9th floor where the breakfast served is omelette juice and tea. around the hotel you can find supermarket McDonald's KFC all nearby but the biggest problem of this hotel is the noise of the traffic and horns which you can hear whole night.

Property was okay, not fancy at all, quite frankly it was very poor looking. Room is way too simple,

Staff was friendly and the zone around the property is very noisy since it is in the middle of very moved streets.

I booked a hotel room and I didnt get it. Intead, i good a room with a single bed and without a window.
It's cold in Bogota but the room was hot as hell. The room has a vent by the washroon wall and all the noise comes from the outside make you awake all night.
Bad experience.

I had a bad experience. I am a senior citizen. When I went to check in, I felt discriminated against, I saw how the hotel manager himself attended to other customers who arrived after me. When I complain, he sends me out. I even threatened with the police. just to make a rule. After I got canceled from my trip and he told me not to stay at his hotel again. How sad is the bad example that the boss himself sets for his employees

I understand this is a budget hotel. I had low expectations when arriving. I arrived late and upon checkin was given a room with no window (even though i requested one). It felt like i was sleeping in a prison cell and the bed was VERY hard. The second day i requested a better room. I was moved to a better room with window. It was much nicer but again the bed was super hard and the Acoustics are horrible, I could hear cars all night beeping and other residents ect... long stort short. I went to the manager with this and politely requested refund. He completely denied the idea. I asked for 50 percent back and it was a big no.

I am not a picky traveler. I have stayed in budget hotels before. If you are okay with loud noises and a hard bed this maybe a good option for you.

On a plus note the front desk staff were very friendly people.

Stay clear of this place! Spend the extra 20 and get something much nicer!

Decent hotel, lack of hot water at times.

The hotel is modern and clean. The location is great with a lot of shops and restaurants nearby.
The room itself was nice and comfortable.
The only problem was the lack of hot water for the 4 evenings that I was there. The shower was really cold. There was hot water in the shower 3 mornings out of 4. There is no hot water in the basin.
Breakfast was OK.
So, 4 stars because of the lack of hot water. Otherwise, it's a nice hotel with friendly staff.

Nice clean hotel

Nice hotel. Just what we needed after a long journey from Australia. We arrived really early but they found us a room which was windowless but it didn’t bother us. Room was really small but big enough for 2. Showers never got hot but we’ve come to find that in Colombia you can’t find hot showers. Breakfast was nice and overall the hotel is clean and tidy. Supermarket one block away and lots of nice restaurants about a 10-15 min walk. Also close to bus stops for public travel

Good if you’re on a budget. Extremely small rooms

Location is good. With this hotel you definitely get what you pay for. My first room was tiny, had no window and felt like a prison cell. Hardly any room to put my luggage. I changed my room the second day. My next room had a window which was nice, but rooms here are REALLY small. The staff is pretty nice at least. This hotel is okay if you’re on a budget

The good: There’s bars and restaurants in walking distance, which is nice. It’s a budget hotel so I knew what to expect. It opened this year so things are for the most part in moderate shape.

The bad: Upon arrival, we were told that the entire hotel does not have hot water, and would not for the duration of our stay. Apparently there was a fire next door that broke their gas system. We were not told of this beforehand, and I could tell we definitely weren’t the only guests who hadn’t. The manager was extremely insensitive to the situation and the best he would offer was a late check out. What about us not having hot water for several nights? He refused to even entertain any idea of a refund. Bridgette, receiptionist at the front desk and the rest of the staff here, outside of management, do try their best help you but I don’t think management gives them what they need to best do their job.

In conclusion, I'd probably pony up a few extra dollars and consider staying elsewhere.

Very pleasant experience. My room was interior and didn't have windows and got very cold at night, so I complained to the front desk and they moved me to a room with a window. Breakfast was very good everyday, there is a dining room on the top floor and they cook your food fresh. I looked forward to the breakfast every day. This is an excellent quality hotel for a low budget and the neighborhood is very good.

Nice and friendly hotel

Well if you don’t speak Spanish then this hotel will be difficult as staff does not speak Englis. First I was give room 509 which was without any window in the room so for ventilation you need to keep bathroom door open as bathroom has very small window. Next day I told my difficulty they changed my room with window but facing the street so lot of noise of cars and buses and yes ambulances making crazy noice so if you can sleep with the noise then go ahead as they do not have sound proof windows. Breakfast is limited to egg, croissant, coffee and 2 pcs of sliced fruit. The breakfast lady is good and gives refill for the coffee. House keeping is okay the don’t change towels everyday unless you tell them. Rooms are clean and nice, very close to supermarket across the street as there are many nearby. The transmileno buses are just 350 meters away and the lady staff who comes in the evening speaks a bit of broken English and manager Niko/Nickolas although does not speak English but helps in all possible ways, also brigit speaks broken English but she comes in the afternoon. Room & bathroom is nice and clean, on my last day I noticed that colour of hot water was different it was brownish must be of the rust from the boiler, they need to check rest all good even the staff was great. Will recommend to stay.

Terrible for Sleeping

Friendly and helpful staff, and great wifi. Unfortunately a terrible hotel to get a good night's rest. Our first night our room faced the main street, which was noisy during the day even with the windows closed. The noise of the vehicles and pedestrians ended at about 2am and then we were able to sleep. The next morning we asked at reception if we could get a room that did not face any street, she told us there was a room available that would not face either street but that it did not have any windows, we told her that was fine. Unfortunately the second room had its own issues, there was a scent machine that would make a loud noise every hour, which woke me up every time, and the bathroom smelled like cigarettes. Although the staff wanted us to enjoy our stay, we give this hotel one star because they failed at the most important thing, providing an environment in which people can get a good night's rest.

A bit small but very cozy and well located.

It was a very good experience to stay at this hotel.
It is well located at the Chapinero neighborhood, one of the more traditional sectors of Bogota.
Breakfast was excellent, not just for the quality of it but because it is served on the top of the building where I could enjoy of a nice view if the city while enjoying my hit cocoa, scramble eggs, and fresh bread.
I really recommend it.

El descanso sin ruido!

El alojamiento aceptable. Desde la aplicación lo ideal es escoger la habitación. Se tal manera que los que desean no estar al lado de calles o avenidas (Bogotá la Calle 63 con Carrera 10), la ciudad no duerme y la intensidad de decibeles supera los rangos para una noche tranquila. Resto sin problema.

Habitación súper pequeña, no hay aire acondicionado ni abanico, el desayuno todos los días es el mismo (huevo con arroz, pan o huevo) solo un acompañamiento a elegir NO se pueden las 3 (la porción es reducidas) de tomar solo es café (sin leche) y jugo no hay frutas ni nada. El chico que atiende en el restaurante es un poco indiferente. La cama es extremadamente dura y las almohadas un papel de lo delgada que está. Hay muchísima bulla día y noche no se puede dormir.
