Inflation or the Gringo tax? I called the Hotel San Simon recently to get a quote. Over the last two years they charged $94000 to $98000 COP plus 7% IVA for a room (suite, no smoking, queen bed, small fridge, recently renovated, modern bathroom but no tina). Now they are quoting $140000 COP plus IVA. The general inflation rate in Colombia is about 6%, nowhere near the 40 plus percent increase in the hotel room. :-(



Maybe it was the Gringo tax because the Hamilton Court, right next door posts a $155000 price on their website and from the pictures the rooms are larger and more upscale. Anyone stay at the San Simon recently and care to share the price they paid?

Windsor This is a good hotel, very conveniently located walking distance from the Park 93, so you will have a wide array of very good bars and restaurants.

I've never been there, but I'd recommend it just because that's the name of the city I'm from back in Canada! :-)

Fine little hotel Hotel Los Urapanes
Carrera13nNo. 83-19
Tel 218 50 65 (Bogota)

Email: Rservas at hotellosurapanes.com.co

It's facing the restaurant zone right on the Zona and has a nice view, if you have a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor as well to the mountains, in addition to overlooking the zone.

Rooms are way big, like little apartments really and has a door guard and locks the doors at night.

It's a hop skp and a jump from the Hamilton Court, but I like it even better than the Hamilton. Costs about $70 US if I remember correctly.

Sunshine All these hotels are very close to each other and in a good area. Right in the entertainment district. The Windsor looks quite nice from the outside, but I hear the rooms are smallish and some with small windows - but nice hotel never the less. I walked in front of it. It's also walking distance from Los Urapanes. I like Los Urapanes the best, from my personal experience and from what I've seen.

Los Urapanes is right across the street from the restaurant and entertainment district. It's small but very nice.

North Country Two good options in the north - near a park on 100-something & near some clubs/bars & stricly pickup bars for sexy bogotanas- in 90-something, completely within walking distance. The Hotel Charlotte (www.charlotehoteles.com)runs for about 119,000 pesos & the probably better suited the Hotel Colonial on the same block & as the previous one, it's like in the middle of the block & lot more private.
The latter one runs for 98,000.00 pesos. Prices are for back in December 2004. I liked the Charlotte although no Internet access but they may have it all set up by now, both close to the transmilenio on 85 calle o carretera, don't remember exactly & one block away from a zona rosa. The Hotel Lourdes on 63rd in Chapinero was a nice cheaper & comfortable option, however, the neighborhood -the block where the hotel is- seemed so so to ME; it was late at night though. I was told it is very safe anyway. Also, there's a police station right across the Charlote.
Good luck, disfruta tu estadia!

go2p.. search the archive(PBH).. i remember posting about a hotel in BOGOTA(forgot the name) something about hotel real 85(irc). It's in zona rosa, great location. cost about 95-105k peso/night NO GUEST FEE! free breakfast in your room, free internet, very safe. OHH it's an apartment style hotel, basically a suite(living room, kitchen, bedroom).

cdn says on Oct 29, 2005, 20:14:

cdn I recently stayed at the Charlotte and liked it a lot. It's an older hotel, but I kind of prefer that. My wife thought it smelled a little funny though. The location is great, the staff are really friendly, the coffee shop and restaurant look onto a little park, great for people-watching. The 119000 pesos previously mentioned sounds about right, and includes breakfast. If you book ahead, ask for a 2nd floor room with a terrace. The price is the same, but the higher floors don't have balconies. Cheers.

Impressions of Hotel de la Opera? I know this hotel is not in North Bogota. Is it safe? I am getting mixed information about the area - travel only in groups, for instance... I like their tourist package and that historic district is very attractive to me.

Not so sweet, suites 85 I stayed at Suites 85 last year and was generally pleased. HOWEVER, my fiancee made a reservation three weeks in advance of a planned stay this year. She reconfirmed with Suites 85 several times including immediately prior to the start of a planned WEEK stay at quoted weekly rates. When we arrived at the hotel about 9 PM, we were told that a guest in our reserved room was holding over and that no substitute accomodations were available. They said that we could stay at a noncomparable room in Suites 97 for a night or so at daily rate, then switch back to Suites 85 if and when it became available. I asked if the weekly rate would apply as promised previously. They said no, that we would have to pay regular room rate at Suites 97 for a night or so at full cost, then pay daily rates, not prorated weekly rates if we were to come back to Suites 85. We decided that they would lose our business at that point. They did not offer to comp our taxi service to another hotel either. A lot of disruption and lack of service that added "in" to the hospitality industry as in "inhospitable". Definitely NOT recommended unless you wanted to chance sleeping outside for a night.

getting better says on Jul 5, 2007, 14:35:

We usually put people at Caviar. It lacks atmosphere but they are quite accomodating with us wanting a light breakfast at 4.30AM, and things like that, which for us is more important than luxury because we need reliable good service for clients. If people want something very cheap then Hotel Internacional in Candalaria, if they want something a bit better then Dann Carlton.
Any Bogota hoteliers reading this we have several hundred people a year if you are interested in a special deal, but most of them are only for 1 or 2 nights.
