Accomodation Bogota

landing in Bogotoa on 24th Feb (fri) and need a night accomodation before heading off to Barranquilla the following day.

After single room (not dorm ). Have tried the platypus which was recomended to me but they have nothing (this is the kind i am after) any ideas?

I am really taken by the there being so few places that offer this sort of accomodation in Colombia. Having done south east Asia there was alway a abundance of budget accomodation. maybe I am looking at the wrong web sites?

any info and links appreciated.

Platypus and other options Some of the rooms in Platypus have just two beds in them, so you are only sharing with one other. And the door is lockable. Is that no good to you?

I would recommend Platypus, since it's full every day at the moment. You will meet lots of people to go out drinking with on the Friday night.

There is also the Hotel Internacional. A quieter place, popular with Israelis and not far from Platypus.

que nota!
