I have also stayed at Fernando Suites a few times. It is very reasonable for what you get. The apartments are nice with plenty of amenities. The building is quiet and safe. The area is also nice and convenient to most things in Northern Bogota. It is a block from Autopista del Norte. There are lots of good places to eat within walking distance. If you like steak, Murrillo Parrilla is about five or six blocks east on the same side of the street. Around the corner on Cra 19, you will find Crepes and Waffles, Oma and several other places to eat.

The only thing I saw about Fernando Suites is that they do not want you to have guests after 11pm. I s this a strict rule?

I didn't hear about that rule, but when I've stayed there, I have been with my wife and other family members. However, we did have my brother-in-law and his wife visiting there pretty late one night. It is a residential apartment building, so they certainly won't stand for obvious hookers, parties or loud guests, but the doorman didn't seem too bothersome. If you are just bringing back a decent looking lady friend, you should be fine.

Before renting anything in colombia, ask the management about their guest policy and get an answer in writing.

Their official written policy is clear. No guests after 11PM. However, as I said before, they aren't terribly strict about it. There is no staff from the agency there. Only the building doorman is there at night.

Ha Ha. True,

We had a few guests show up at night a few time, but neither my uncle nor my father-in-law look like putas so I guess that might not be a good precedent to count on;)

Or make sure to bring them in at 10:59 p.m. and you're all set.

I arranged a place with Fernanado Suites and the internet didn't work. They tried to fix it and couldn't, so they took me to another place. The internet didn't work there so I went to a hotel. It's a good thing I did because when I checked my work email there was a big hairy problem I had to deal with that couldn't wait to the next day.
