Hotels Near Estacion de la Sabana in Bogota

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.

The best thing about this property is its proximity to the airport. For a 1 night stay it is perfect. Free shuttle included, however you should go to the 2nd floor door nr 5 to find a lady there with the hotel sign. Check was a slow, however check out was very fast Restaurant at night was extremly slow once order was taken

This is a great place for a basic stay. The breakfast is good. There is plenty of hot water, which you need in a chilly place like BOG. There is a little table with a couple of stools if you want to eat in your room. The bed is fine and so is the bathroom. The cleaning staff works hard. There is a TV that had CNN in Spanish, which I enjoyed. The area is good, near Chapinero. There is no safe in the room, but there are cameras in the hallway, and the reception will store your valuables. I don't know why anyone would ever complain about this place. Yes, the rooms are small, but it is a budget hotel. Perfect for sleeping, showering, and resting. It is clean and quiet too. It is by a hospital so no loud bars at night. I stayed in room 926 which was great. It was on a high floor room, and on the side of the building with an incredible view of the city, as the hotel is perched on a hill. AMAZING VIEW. The front desk is hardworking and friendly. The only downsides. I think there is central climate control. No thermostat in the room and no A/C in the room. No phone in the room so you need to personally go downstairs for anything. Also, the internet sometimes cut out. So someone coming to see me was trying to call me and the internet had cut out. Also, the internet would cut out and I would have to reconnect on my own when going from my room to the lobby. I knew it was a budget hotel with a small room so I knew there would be no fridge.

Good •Good breakfast. They made us a vegan breakfast, even when they don't normally offer vegan options; but it was the same every day. •Cleaning and daily amenities. (Although in the ”cons” I detail the issue of cleaning) •Excellent service. All the staff are more than helpful and resolutive. •The Internet connection is good and stable. We were working 8 hours a day and we had no problems. ATTENTION HERE because we asked to change a room with a better view and when they changed us, there was no internet, so we had to go back to where we were before. So, keep in mind that there are apartments with no Wi-Fi. •24h reception •Very quiet. There's no noise. This gave us a lot of quality of life and more coming from the noise hell that there was in the accommodation in Playa del Carmen. •Spacious. Enough space for storage and put the suitcases. •Good workspace. (desk and confortable chair) •Spa. However, there are restrictions to use the spa Bad: •The kitchen has less than the basics and that is a problem if you expect to cook during your stay because, even if you complain, they will not be able to bring you everything you need. In my case, for example, I needed a pasta strainer, bowls and a good knife and they said they didn't have them. •The gym is small and does not have much. •The apartments are cold and don’t have heating. The only way they solve it is by giving you a blanket. •Regarding cleanliness: I do not like that the floor of the room is covered by a carpet; also, the carpet was completely disgusting. In addition, the utensils they used to clean were more dirty than clean. The surfaces and the bathroom were always very clean, but the floors were not. It is very important to take care of cleaning, disinfection and vacuuming very well, especially when the accommodation accepts pets and considering that we are still living in a pandemic. In conclusion, we had a good stay although perhaps I would recommend it more for a short stay. By the end I was already a bit upset by the carpet and the little glitches. But for the offer that there is and the quality / price ratio that you can find, it is not bad. What is certain is that the hotel would gain a lot of potential if it remodeled the apartments (I think it needs urgent restoration).

The hotel is located near the university, between the old town and the new town. Convenient transportation, there is BRT, the hotel is downstairs is the cafe, not far from the net red ice cream shop. The room has a first-class view and modern facilities. The room is not big. However, the surrounding environment of the hotel feels not very safe and there are many homeless people. There are many beggars. There was a beggar who followed me all the way, followed me to the coffee shop downstairs, and asked me for money!

This was a more than solid hotel in many ways. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable with an ultra modern bathroom. The building was attractive and in a good location. The breakfast was fantastic! The staff was extremely helpful as well. Only cons were some of the floor boards in the halls and doors showed signs of wear and they will need updating. The other con is the reservation thing to use any of the facility such as pool and gym. This is just silly and inconvenient to the guest. It’s pure theater. Overall, i highly recommend.

Good quality hotel for the price. The customer service people were very nice, and can speak some English. The rooms are spacious, with fridge, snack bar, free bottle of water, and really love how comfy the bed is. The location is also great, there is a grocery store, and some nice restaurants just next to it.

This is a relatively well-comfortable hotel, because the beds are comfortable and is quite clean. The biggest problem is that they don't even let you finish with your luggage, when he's already calling you to charge, the boy who called us to charge was altar and disrespectful, And I had a look like I was doing something to us because I told you that it was waiting. The reason why we didn't pay just when we arrived was that the lady of turn did not use the computer phone.
