hôtel qui ne correspond pas à nos attentes

nous avions réservé une chambre pour trois de 43 m2 . On nous en a proposé une toute petite! Finalement, on a changé pour 2 chambres petites dont une avec une fenêtre sur un couloir. Hôtel très bruyant. Petit déjeuner très sommaire. Pain de mie non grillé . On a demandé des oeufs au plat et on nous a apporté une omelette!

Perfecta ubicacion!

Es un hotel perfectamente bien ubicado si uno quiere conocer el centro de Bogota a pie. El hotel es pequeno y falta calefaccion o una cobija adicional al dormir, pero lo que falta es recompensado con la atencion del personal que es de lujo. Si uno quiere conocer la esencia de Bogota junto a una exquisita seleccion de desayunos, este es el Hotel!!
