Selina Chapinero Bogota

Pros: Staff speak English Wide array of amenities Public Transportation nearby Lots of Shops within walking distance Shared Kitchen available with most cooking utensils Movie Theatre available Staff are pleasant Never had an issue catching an uber from there You can take a single bus from the airport to the hotel (P500 I believe) They allow you to put your luggage into storage if you arrive early Cons: The taste and texture of their pancakes is suitable for a floor mat Hot Water doesn't work in all showers Co-Working space overpriced and same cost as your room Can be very noisy at night and a lot of interesting characters running around on the 1st floor during the night No washing machines had to travel far to do laundry Pillows are filled with 90% air couldn't sleep until i bought my own pillow They don't do deep cleaning and only surface cleaning (look underneath the lockers to see a garbage museum) Someone turned off one of the fridges and crammed my stuff into an already full fridge VOIP and Video calls in the co-working space suffered degradation due to either the failure to prioritize the different classes of traffic or an inadequate bandwidth to support the volume of traffic in either scenario this is an IT failure While the staff are very kind and polite I have decided against staying here again based on 3 factors: 1) You can't be guaranteed a quiet nights sleep. There's many nights you could have a better sleep with hobos in a park than inside this hotel. 2) Their private room cost is more than a 3 star hotel which guarantees a private shower with hot water, Clean linens daily and an ergonomic desk/chair with a stable internet connection 3) The kitchen most times looks like the aftermath of WWII. Most guests are slobs making it difficult to eat when surrounded by filth.

Only stayed here for one night but it was good. Nice location, friendly staff and a bar/restaurant for the evening.

This hostal has a lot of events, the beds are comfortable and there are lots of spaces you can use. It’s very cheap and the location is excellent. It’s closed to main avenues and transportation and close to the clubbing area Zona Rosa.

Good experience
