    The staff of the Orchids were great, welcoming and low key in a nice way. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and it had genuine charm. The location was bustling but the rooms were also very quiet.

    We had a fabulous stay at the Orchids. The building is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated, spotlessly clean, and the location is excellent, centrally located for Candelaria. But the best thing about The Orchids was the staff. Christian, Marta and a third colleague whose name we didn’t get, were so very kind and did everything possible to make us feel at home. Christian gave great recommendations and helped us with lots of information. Marta provided a truly delicious breakfast and made us feel at home. We would return to The Orchids without hesitation for any future visit to Bogotá.

    The location itself is convenient, but after 7 PM, the area tends to feel deserted. If you’re coming from another continent, you might even feel a bit uneasy. Something to keep in mind—you’ll likely need a taxi or Uber to head north, where you’ll find more lively areas and entertainment in Bogotá.

    This historic house transports you to the charm of old Colombia, with beautifully designed rooms that make for an unforgettable stay. Perfectly located in the heart of Bogotá, it’s just a short walk from the Botero Museum, Plaza de Bolívar, and the Gold Museum.

    An elegant and convent place to stay in La Candelaria

    Our room did not have a window to the outside. Instead, it had a large wall of windows that looked over the interior courtyard. This means that noise filtered up from the courtyard into the room. Major construction was taking place adjacent to the hotel And Noises began about eight in the morning.

    This small, boutique hotel is well located in La. andelaria, situated between the Botera Museum and the main plaza, and is consequently base for exploring this area. Breakfast was excellent, served in an elegantly decorated room. Our room was large and elegantly furnished. Staff were welcoming.

    We had a couple of problems with the shower at first but once we reported it, things improved. The WIFI on our floor was a little weak. On the ground floor the Ubiquiti wifi access points work well, but we had a small generic router for our floor.

    The breakfast was very good, you can see the menu in the photos below. The room is like a small grand banquet room. A lovely way to start the day. The whole building is very grand in design and all the rooms are named after famous operas. The staff are very professional and kind. On our last day they allowed us to leave our bags with them , as our flight was a late one.

    The breakfast each morning was excellent and the coffee in particular was great. The staff was particularly accommodating. Our flight into Bogota was delayed 5 hours and we didn't arrive until 1:30 AM. Nevertheless, the hotel manager arranged for a car to pick us up; great service. The location of the hotel in the middle of Candelaria is an excellent location and within walking distance to lots of restaurants, museums and street life.
