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!!

centralt läge

Ett enkelt men välbeläget hotell med generös check out-tid. Mittemot hotellet ligger ett av Bogotas universitet vilket innebar att det var fullt av studenter i rörelse runt hotellet på dagarna och kvällarna vilket kändes tryggt. Boteromuseet ligger på 5-10 minuters promenadavstånd. Eftersom jag skulle flyga till Europa på kvällen så var hotellets check out-tid 16.00 uppskattat.

Hotel Ambalá Bogotá Colonial è piccolissimo ma confortevole e pulito, con personale gentilissimo, cassette di sicurezza in direzione ed una buona colazione nel ristorante a fianco all'hotel, ed inoltre è in pieno centro accanto ai monumenti più importanti, alle università ed ai musei.

Nahe bei den Sehenswuerdigkeiten

Kleines, sauber gefuehrtes Hotel, nur ein paar Schritte von der Plaza Bolivar entfernt. Mein Einzelzimmer war nicht gerade geraeumig but it served its purpose. Das Fruehstueck ist ein bisschen gewoehnungsbeduerftig, doch statt Zwieback bekommt man auch ein croissant. Der Kaffee : man glaubt nicht, dass der Kaffee aus einem Land kommt, dessen Kaffee wir in D preisen (aber das ist in ganz Kolumbien so - das Beste geht in den Export). Das Personal spricht nicht die Spur Englisch.
