Hotel en Bogotá

I will be in Bogotá for one night in September before going on to Medellín. I need a good hotel (bueno, bonito, y barato) near the airport. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

Just sleep in the airport. I've done it many times before and it's actually a lot funner than you would think. I've never slept in El Dorado, however, so I don't know what the night life is like there.

See post below please? Dona Flor's Guest House as I posted below is a very good ineexpensive choice for you. It is just 5 minutes from the airport just off of El Dorado Blvd.

Lodging in Bogota? Dona Flor's Guest House!


If you are in need of lodging in Bogota I can recommend Dona Flor's Guest House located just
about 100 meters from the entrance to the US Embassy for visas. She owns a large house and
rents 6 rooms many with private bath and hot water. Hot water can be difficult to find in Bogota at
times. Her price includes breakfast and there are some nice pastry shops aand restaurants right by
her place. The area is secure with patrols
passing by all day being so close to the Embassy.

Casa de Huespedes Dona Flor
Flor de Garcia
Owner
a la derecha de la embajada, pasando el parque

Carrera 44C No. 22A-16-Quinta Paredes-Bogota
Tele: 011-57-1-269-8694 or 011-57-1-269-7436 FAX 011-57-1-269-3926
If you need someone who speaks English call Midia at 011-57-1-269-2530 who will let Dona Flor
know you want to stay there.

Dona Flor charges around $20 to $30 a night but she may bargain if your stay is for an extended
period. This is the best place I know of if you have to go to the embassy and this place is about 7.5
minutes from the airport. She can have her taxi man friend pick you up. He is very friendly as he
gave us a tour of BOG one day in his van. The phone numbers above are for calling from the US.
For Europeans the country code starts with 57 and the city code is 1 then the rest of the numbers
above. She is located basically between North Bogota and the business center and Candaleria.
Taxis and buses pass right up the street from her house and she can direct you to the right bus to
get where you may have to go if you prefer to avoid taxis.

Very friendly lady and very good place to stay. We will be there a third time next spring! BTW The
only thing I get from mentioning her place is the satisfaction of helping YOU and her!!

Dona Flor's son is there so you don't need to call Midia or Claudia but the first two numbers I
posted above since her son speaks English

It was only a post or two ago, then once or twice or thrice the previous week, 20 or so in all. All exactly the same, cut and paste. Besides the poster was looking for a place close to the airport not the embassy.

Sometimes a new person registers and asks about a hotel so I paste and answer...if they scrolled down the posts I would not have to...
but it is all good.
