Bis auf das Frühstück eine gute Unterkunft.

Das Zimmer war okay, das Frühstück eine Katastrophe. Wir haben uns selbst versorgt, um einigermaßen ausgewogen zu essen und satt zu werden. Die Lage ist gut, man ist in wenigen Metern in der Altstadt. Das Personal war durchgehend sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Zu Beginn unseres Aufenthalts bekamen wir einen Stadtplan, in uns eingezeichnet wurde, wo wir und aufhalten können, wo lieber nicht und wo auf keinen Fall. Als wir zum Amazonas flogen, durften wir unsere Rucksäcke im Hostel lassen. Sehr nett.

Frühstück s.o.

100% would stay there again, I loved my stay at Hostal La Candelaria!

Excellent location in the Candelaria neighborhood, just 10 minutes away from the main touristy / cultural points. The staff is very friendly and helpful; they recommended things for me to do, gave me the basic safety tips and were always ready to give good recommendations. The breakfast was simple but delicious. The rooftop terrace is a real plus, great view over the city!

As it’s located in an old house, sound isolation isn’t great. But it’s expected when staying in such a place and it’s really a minor inconvenience.

Poor

Not the best hostel, room access is so difficult (stairs), staff is not commited to make your stay comfortable, just to do the enough. I wouldn´t stay there again.

Great hostel in the heart of La Candelaria

Great location in the heart of the historical center of Bogotá. Staff was very friendly and obliging. Everything is within a walking distance, La Candelaria, Monserrate, Plaza Bolivar, etc. Would recommend this place for all first timers travelling to Bogotá.

Breakfast could be better, though there are many options nearby...

Lovely quiet hostel in La Candelaria!

The location of this hostel is really excellent, and the rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. The shower was hot and the bathroom clean. The staff were really friendly and the hostel was nice and safe which is important in Bogota which can be a little dangerous.

The breakfast could be improved with some butter or jam for the bread.

Recommended.

It's located on a quiet street and easy walking distance to all the main attractions, great location! Less than two minutes to Parque Periodista and the visitors center in the base of the Bolivar statue. On Sunday it turned into a big flea market. It's a 15 minute walk (uphill and a little strenuous but we are over 40 and 50 and managed it fine in 15 minutes) to the Telerferique at Mounserrate. 5-10 minute walk to both the Botero and Gold Museums, about 20 minutes to Plaza Bolivar. Also nearby: two small grocery stores and several restaurants and bars. Five minute walk to two bus stops. Also located in the middle of a cute neighborhood with a lot of great grafifiti art on the walls if you just explore the streets around you. The street the hostel is on is also a great photo spot. Breakfast is included of coffee, cocoa or tea with corn flakes, bread rolls, cut fruit and a banana. Simple but worked for us. Due to covid, you cannot use the kitchen but a refrigerator and microwave are available and you are free to eat or hang out in the small courtyard. nnWalls are a little thin if your neighbors are loud but people were generally quiet and respectful. You get a small desk, wardrobe and tv in the room. The shower was great. Wait one minute and you have really hot water and great water pressure. The best part is the extremely helpful staff. Everyone is great but Adriana really went above and beyond for us. We don't speak much Spanish but she was able to give us simple, clear and concise information in English on how to navigate public busses to the Salt Church at Zipaquira. Most helpful of all, she arranged for a nurse to come right to our room and administer the covid tests that we needed to fly on to our next destination. We were really stressed about this process and she really held our hand to make it happen.

The sound proof of the room wasn't too good, but it's quiet in the night. We were given the room on the side of staff office and kitchen; unsure about the other side. Wish we were given some info (or a brief tour) about the facility itself. We didn't know there is rooftop to hang-out.

Clean, Secure and Boutique Style Hotel

This Boutique Style hostel/hotel was other than centrally located, very secure, clean and a nice professional staff. I liked the fact it had all the hot water you wanted and it was quite at night. Also, plenty of restaurants to choose from just a block away. The staff was just incredible, i was checked in at 4am with a smile and helpful demeanor... I booked for two nights and stayed 6 more nights. I recommend this hotel for your stay in Bogota.
