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

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!

Charming old house. Helpful and friendly staff. Quiet. Served la carte breakfast rather than smorgasbord.

This is a fantastic old-school hotel in the heart of the Candelaria. It's totally unique. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was great every morning. If you don't want to stay in just another cookie-cutter hotel, this is the place for you. Plaza Bolivar is right around the corner and there are some cute restaurants nearby.

Our only complaint would be the walls provided little insulation from noise inside the hotel. This may be related to the room we were given, but seemed a general characteristic of the building.

The location was central to La Candelaria, easy walking to museums and restaurants. The hotel staff were attentive and very helpful. The breakfast served was ample and excellent. Decor was a feast for the eyes.

It is not the most safe neighborhood, especially at night. But the staff took good care of us.

Loved the staff and their enthousiasm

In order to access the property you need to ring the bell. Which was very safe; however once we were waiting for half an hour and no one answered. We were ringing the bell, knocking at the door and calling the hotel but nothing. We had to change our plans and go out instead of relaxing in our room as we were initially planning.

Very big and clean rooms. Great location and safe.

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.

The breakfast is served very slowly but it is custom in all Colombia so you can get used to it and than it is OK.

Location of this place is excelente in the midle of historic centre. Very friendly staff , comfortable beds and very good breakfast. Quiet place but close to all places of interest.

The breakfast was excellent. Fresh orange juice and fruit plate followed by scrambled eggs and a choice of various sides. Coffee also excellent. Everything freshly prepared.

Room had a bathroom understandable put in due to architecture of the stunning hotel. But the sink is to far back and difficult to use. The shower is good and opposite is a separate toilet. The bed is huge.

The location is fantastic, so close to all the main locations, very safe area, so many restaurants and the more authentic Bogota at your fingertips. Very helpful staff, lots of nice touches. Fabulous breakfast

It is an old building and still needs a lot of improvements, structural and in facilities. It is obvious that a lot of many was invested, but still it does not meet a luxury status. Decoration in some point is cheap and completely unnecessary. Cleaning was ok, but basic an deep cleaning had some issues, as great and big windows which were not clean, TV monitor with inclination etc. WI-FI was poor quality and signal. Breakfast was served by butler and in a pretentious room, but the choice and the quality of the food was median and let's say "french style" ( small quantity, which I personally do not mind, but someone could). What I did not really like was: a necessity to pay more 50 euros due to a fact that I asked for an Invoice. It is small money, but I visited several hotels in Colombia and never was asked to pay extra money because I asked for an Invoice. At least, not at all an elegant attitude.

Medieval Palace transformed in a small hotel. Charming and potentially excellent hotel for a luxury hotel. Great spaces, well organised into hotel rooms. Polite and helpful staff. Excellent location in safe neighbourhood, in proximity of all mayor points of interest.

Not really anything. Te hotel exceeded expectations.

Excellent accommodation. The staff was very,very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was plentiful and was selected from a menu - i.e. not from a buffet but made to order - and the location is excellent, just round the corner from Plaza Bolívar, the Gold Museum, the Botero Museum and other important sights. The room was very large and quiet. Highly recommended

Nothing went wrong.

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.

For a five star hotel, the hotel itself is a bit tired, in need or what looks like a lot of minor repairs (tiles need to be replaced in the shower, for example). Its charm (and its 5-stars) lies in its staff as well as its age and provenance, but updates of the infrastructure would be very welcome for a guest in 2024.

The staff is simply terrific, most helpful, gracious and welcoming -- couldn't be better! The breakfast was very good American style, made to order. I foun d the bed very comfortable (and I am picky). Overall, as charming as advertised.,

Some plumbing issues, nothing major. Annoying having to wait for buzzer to be answered to get in.

Beautiful period building, perfect location, amazing unlimited breakfast.

I highly recommend staying here while visiting Bogotá. The hotel is in the historic La Candelaria neighborhood, which has a lot of the museums and sites that people want to see in Columbia. If you book it, it comes with a complementary breakfast that is prepared fresh daily, and made to order. Delicious! Richard was fantastic (and bilingual in English) at helping us navigate the city and answering any questions we had. The hotel itself is beautiful, a little older, but still has all the comforts you want in a hotel. Because it is an older hotel, too, the rooms are extremely spacious.
