We had a fabulous stay at the Orchids. The building is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated, spotlessly clean, and the location is excellent, centrally located for Candelaria. But the best thing about The Orchids was the staff. Christian, Marta and a third colleague whose name we didn’t get, were so very kind and did everything possible to make us feel at home. Christian gave great recommendations and helped us with lots of information. Marta provided a truly delicious breakfast and made us feel at home. We would return to The Orchids without hesitation for any future visit to Bogotá.

This small, boutique hotel is well located in La. andelaria, situated between the Botera Museum and the main plaza, and is consequently base for exploring this area. Breakfast was excellent, served in an elegantly decorated room. Our room was large and elegantly furnished. Staff were welcoming.

Our room did not have a window to the outside. Instead, it had a large wall of windows that looked over the interior courtyard. This means that noise filtered up from the courtyard into the room. Major construction was taking place adjacent to the hotel And Noises began about eight in the morning.

The breakfast was very good, you can see the menu in the photos below. The room is like a small grand banquet room. A lovely way to start the day. The whole building is very grand in design and all the rooms are named after famous operas. The staff are very professional and kind. On our last day they allowed us to leave our bags with them , as our flight was a late one.

We had a couple of problems with the shower at first but once we reported it, things improved. The WIFI on our floor was a little weak. On the ground floor the Ubiquiti wifi access points work well, but we had a small generic router for our floor.

This historic house transports you to the charm of old Colombia, with beautifully designed rooms that make for an unforgettable stay. Perfectly located in the heart of Bogotá, it’s just a short walk from the Botero Museum, Plaza de Bolívar, and the Gold Museum.

The location itself is convenient, but after 7 PM, the area tends to feel deserted. If you’re coming from another continent, you might even feel a bit uneasy. Something to keep in mind—you’ll likely need a taxi or Uber to head north, where you’ll find more lively areas and entertainment in Bogotá.

Superb hotel in a very old building. The rooms are uniquely decorated and super comfy. A special note to acknowledge the staff, and especially Francisco who was amazing all throughout our stay. He vas very helpful, friendly and genuine, we loved having chats with him everyday. He made us feel at home.

The building being very old there is no noice insulation at all. All rooms’ old wooden doors and windows are facing the atrium which means you can hear everything even with all doors closed. If someone comes in an out lf the hotel, if the staff at reception talks on the phone, if someone’s talking in the hallways, it’s like they were in your room. For that reason we felt this would qualify for a four star and not five star hotel. While the hotel itself is really great and staff amazing, we had very poor sleep every night because of the constant noise.

We wanted a couple of days in a hotel that was not cookie cutter. This was certainly the place. It is beautiful and in a perfect location to explore the historical center of Bogota. It was a short walk to many restaurants. The service was excellent and the breakfast was outstanding. All of the rooms have a different theme. We were given the "A midsummer nights dream" room. It was huge and beautifully furnished. The bathroom also had his and hers sinks, a bathtub and his and her showers. I highly recommend this hotel.

Small (ten rooms), personalized, safe and high quality hotel convenient located at the city center. The room and bathroom were large, comfortable and lovely. Fresh fruit and diverse choices for breakfast. We both arrived jet lagged and ill; the concierge was extraordinarily helpful, kind and considerate with our recovery, including preparing a light dinner when the restaurant was closed! We have seldom received this much care at any hotel. We can strongly recommend The Orchids for your next trip to Bogota!

A bit of traffic flowing at night, but quiet after midnight.

The staff here were attentive and friendly, and the breakfast was great. There was no extra charge for anything at breakfast. The location was really central, we walked to the gold museum, the Botero museum, restaurants and to the much needed laundromat! Room was big, and not too noisy despite overlooking the street. Not many rooms, so it wasn't very busy or noisy.

Hotel was beautiful. It's in an old building so expect some funkiness. This isn't a polished modern hotel, but that was part of the charm.

The Orchids is a beautiful boutique hotel. There are 4 rooms which means personal service and very quiet. It is in the heart of the historical district of Bogota and thus very central to everything. It seems to us to be in a more secure area. The hotel itself is very secure. You should not have a problem here. The staff are very nice. Rooms have no air conditioning, but all you need to do is open the window at night as it cools to around a refreshing 50 degrees. The weather is beautiful in Bogota and consistent. There is a free breakfast every morning with fresh homemade food. The room has a historic look with amazing (seems like) 20 foot ceilings and beautiful wood trim around everything. But the bathrooms are completely contemporary and look like something you might see in a design magazine. Do not hesitate to stay here. It has everything you will need. If we go back I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel.

Nothing went wrong.

The breakfast each morning was excellent and the coffee in particular was great. The staff was particularly accommodating. Our flight into Bogota was delayed 5 hours and we didn't arrive until 1:30 AM. Nevertheless, the hotel manager arranged for a car to pick us up; great service. The location of the hotel in the middle of Candelaria is an excellent location and within walking distance to lots of restaurants, museums and street life.
