Business travel Hotels in Bogota, Colombia

We loved this hotel experience and even got to go back a second time during our time in Colombia. The hotel is up to date and the beds are very comfortable. The staff are friendly (Chris the bell hop is very caring) and polite. You can tell they take pride in ensuring your comfort. Service is quick either maintenance or in room dining. The nails salon is outdated and not what you would expect from the hotel, we did manicures and pedicures but the ladies were super nice and caring. The breakfast buffet is busy after 9am and hard to get served by wait staff...best to go around 7:30am-8am for the best experience. We booked transport through the hotel to go Ziper and was quoted 171,000 pesos or $44 usd, when we got back to the hotel the driver charged us $69usd because of the 3 hours ($24,000 pesos per extra hour) extra that we were stuck in traffic. Your best bet is to use Uber to travel around and rappi for food. We were surprised that we had to purchase swim caps for the pool which was mandatory. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here.

Let me start with the positives: As Bogota’s airport is the major hub for domestic flights in Colombia, we spent 4 nights at the Courtyard. It’s very conveniently located in almost a walking distance from the airport and have a good shuttle service. As you can expect from Courtyard by Marriott (I am a platinum member) rooms are nice and the restaurant was good. Stuff were friendly. I would have rated it at 4 stars but… We wanted to get to Zipaquira Salt Cathedral (Catedral de Sal) and asked the receptionist’s help. They communicated with the transportation services they use (GERF) and gave us a quote of 220,000 COP for a minivan. Yet, on the night before travel they have told us the price is actually 379,000 COP. They have admitted they have made a mistake and the manager even suggested to compensate us with dinner for the honest mistake. I showed him the lonely planet book showing an estimated price of up to 160,000 COP for a taxi to Zipaquira which includes 2.5 hours wait at the Salt Cathedral. He mentioned their transportation services (GERF) includes a wait of up to 5 hours which would allow us enough time to visit the Cathedral and enjoy the city. We have accepted the offer and thought it was a real nice gesture from the manager to compensate us. After we have finished the visit to the Cathedral which took us about 2 hours, we have decided that instead of staying at the city we would prefer to go to Monserrat which is just a short detour from the way back to the hotel. We have asked the driver if we can spend the rest of the wait time on Monserrat instead and he acknowledged it. We spent about 2.5 hours to visit Monserrat. When we arrived back in the hotel the driver asked for 535,000 COP claiming the agreed total travel time they have committed was 5 hours, not the wait time as communicated and agreed by us. Given the trip to Zipaquira is about 2 hours each way that obviously doesn’t make sense as it means it allows only 1 hour at the Salt Cathedral and no time at the city. It means they have known we would need to pay much more. We have discussed it with the hotel reception and asked to talk with the manager who was not at the hotel but they were unable to resolve the issue. We have reluctantly paid the difference but felt we were cheated (…and paid almost 3 times a regular taxi service we could have ordered). Must admit the hotel gave us the dinner for free as promised but in 2 weeks of traveling in Colombia using hotels to arrange our transportations it was the only incident we have faced. Bottom line - good hotel but we felt cheated which ruined our experience. Suggest NOT to use their transportation services (GERF - see picture attached) or at a minimum be very specific and put the terms in writing to avoid such bad feelings and experience.

Thank you so much for your efforts to make visitors feel the way we feel.. so happy 😀 with this trip.. keep the good work ..I recommend to family and friend. If anybody wants clean rooms good food good people in front desk .. this is the best and perfect hotel..

Just stayed here for 3 nights, it was only $255 Australian $$$. Very cheap indeed. I’m not used to such small rooms but it was very clean and comfortable. I was on level 6 and the street noise was very noticeable. The shower was ridiculous, you had to walk in and turn around next to the open window to close the shower door, then lock the glass door. Then you can turn the shower on and dodge the cold water. I worked it out. Run the shower first and get it warm, turn it off then do the turn around and lock the door , then turn it on so you only get sprayed with warm water. Not sure what bright spark invented this, A sliding door would be much easier. The brekky was average, not a huge choice but the chef will do eggs or an omelette for you. The staff were fantastic, all very positive and helpful. Would I stay here again, probably not. No restaurant for lunch or dinner and no room service. Heaps of restaurants close by, really close.

I’ve stayed at many hotels in the US, and overseas and this is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The room was immaculate. The staff work extremely hard and are very kind and professional. My room had a wonderful view of the mountains. The breakfast has a wide variety of options, including delicious Colombian soups It is very well located in Zona G, and there are two very good restaurants right next door. If you are going to Bogota, I recommend this hotel

This is where you want to stay while in Bogotá . Three things stood out immediately: exceptional staff; outstanding breakfast; perfect location. I have stated in previous reviews that to me a building is just a building until you add the staff. How these employees act and relate to you as a guest make all the difference in the world. Edgar is the head waiter at breakfast and makes you feel like a long time friend as soon as you sit down. The front desk staff were very patient with me and my poor spanish yet they manage to help with each query I had. There are a number of fine restaurants in the coutyard and a huge shopping mall a short 10 minute walk away. Our overall experience was a resounding YES, STAY HERE. *****

The truth is that when the lady entered, she did not understand me well and made me wait more than 30 minutes that day, standing still, and made me renege because her treatment was not pleasant.

The room is really big. You can order breakfast according to the type of eggs you like. Public transportation nearby is also very convenient. If you want to eat out, there are bakeries, pizza shops, coffee shops and other options nearby.

Bed is to hard. Pillows ok. Service is excellent. Except the room service that is erratic and slow. The bar was always closed. Breakfast was excellent. The dinner in the Chinese rest was very good. The check in and check out was very goo. Price excellent. The help from the concierge was outstanding. We recommend more accessible snack and water.

Yes, even stay, breakfast is good
