This hotel was the first part of our Colombian honeymoon in December of 2011. We thought the building was beautiful with lots of character. Our room was overlooking the street with a wraparound balcony. I loved the balcony and the old windows. The view was lovely, top of buildings and churches. I also loved the big bathroom with the old... More

This hotel is one of a very few in the historic Candaleria section of Bogota. It is said to have been the home of Simone Bolivar during at least part of his time in Colombia. The hotel is very well restored and maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The food was good, but not great. Breakfast, which included a... More

We chose a seventh floor (premium) room to get the benefit of the lovely views out over the rooftops (and the sunset) - it was modern, completely quiet and very... More

I stayed in Room 214 at the Hotel de la Opera for 3 nights. The hotel is in a good location in the Candelaria district and there is much to see in walking distance. My room was quite large with a king sized bed, which was reasonably comfortable, nightstands, TV and a couple chairs. There was a decent sized walk-in... More

The hotel, located in the Candelaria district, is in an old colonial building with lots of charm. Our room was the former music room, in the old part of the building, and was beautiful. However, it is very noisy, with very poor acoustics and extremely uncomfortable beds. The area is bustling during the day but shuts down in late afternoon,... More

We were in Bogota as tourists in February 2013. So I'll start with the city. In truth Bogota is not one the world's greatest capital cities from a tourist point of view. There are some sights the best of which is an excellent gold museum and an interesting cable car with great city views from the top of Monseratte. La... More
