Excellent location

Accommodations were basic but clean and the staff were very helpful and kind. The location was very perfect for us . My only recommendation would be some eggs for the breakfast and black tea. It was not easy to find by the address, taxi couldn’t find it but by my map (maps.me) it was easy.

Accueil très chaleureux, très bien situé pour un acces au centre-ville de Bogota. Nous avons été très bien renseigné sur les activités à faire. Petit déjeuner tout simple avec du café et des céréales et du pain de mie grillé.
