Hotel's in a slightly rundown part of town, the rooms are basic and so is the breakfast. However, it's clean and the service is good, plus it's only a few minutes' walk from Bogota's major attractions, so overall it's not a bad choice - especially if price is an issue.
The staff were excellent. From Joana and the other cleaning staff who kept the place sparkling to the kitchen and front desk staff.
Perfectly located in Bogota.
Only downside- if you need a transport, take an Uber, as they overpriced on the van to the airport.
This hotel has a good distance from the Museo del Oro. The breakfast is good and sufficient

Friendly, helpful staff. Felt safe and secure. Room was nice though small. Excellent buffet breakfast included. Walkable location to museums, plaza de bolivar, shops, etc.
A regular go to place for me. Not luxurious, obviously. At this price, but the beds are good. The linen is clean and the breakfast is excellent. Very walkable to the main tourist sites.
verygood quality and breakfast for the price. good value hot water, good service bed and sheet...
a little weird on sunday because of the street market living a lot of trash. close to my favorite restaurant emilio!
this is a great hotel in central Bogota near the Oro museum i always come here a great stay , very clean and the staff are mostly very helpful , great breakfast and very good service by Guillermo , he always greats me with smile in the mornings which is very enjoyable and wonderful service
the manager Erlinda is very active and you see her involved all over the hotel , she cares about the hotel and the customers , will stay here soon...
The hotel was good overall. We were able to walk to Plaza Bolívar, Monserrate, Chorro de Quevedo, and several other attractions. While the hotel could use a bit of TLC, it was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was tasty and very convenient, making it easy to start our day. We arrived on a Saturday, and on Sunday the Mercado de las Pulgas (a kind of flea market) takes place on the same street. It made walking around a bit tricky, but it wasn’t a major issue.
Very courteous and helpful reception and staff. Good breakfast included, but coffee was weak. Would only store my luggage for 2 days without a charge while I visited elsewhere, though I was returning to stay after.

I did the reservarion with free parking and at the end I had to pay for it. Other than minor problems with the toilet and the tv. We all liked our stay and the breakfast was phenomenal.
Small, quiet hotel. Location is excellent close to shops, tourist attractions, restaurants, markets and MILLENNIO.
Had a quiet, relaxing roof top, and decent breakfast.
The hotel was quick to respond to any concerns you had.
Well worth the money.
The hotel was very clean and it was quiet at night for sleeping. Staff is polite and helpful. The breakfast was good. It was great that the restaurant was open late and the food was good. The area is convenient to the historic city and museums (Museo del Oro) and Botero Museum. There were many convenient options for food. Good location between newer and old historic city. I would definitely return to this hotel. Good option.

Decent budget option in Downtown Bogota
Hotel Virrey is s satisfactory. Its a decent budget option in downtown bogota. The establishment is a bit worn, but the staff for the most part have excellent customer service skills always aiming to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The Breakfast included in price is filling and tasty. Hotel Grounds and rooms have seen better days. It felt a bit worn. Everything was kept clean though. Bed was comfortable, Room with good wifi, Hot shower with good water pressure.
The Hotel is centrally located withing walking distance to most attractions in the area.

Excellent location. Friday night tends to get noisy with people drinking in the lobby and singing the night away till midnight. Disconnect between reception and guests. We were asked to pay for breakfast eventhough it was all included. Sorted that out the first morning we were there. On check out, staff wanted us to pay for a lunch meal that we had during our stay there. It was paid for already but the kitchen staff left the bill in our file. In the end, the receptionist understood the situation and we did not pay twice for the same meal.
