Hotels near Iglesia Cristiana Nuevo Israel, Bogota

Let me start with the positives: As Bogota’s airport is the major hub for domestic flights in Colombia, we spent 4 nights at the Courtyard. It’s very conveniently located in almost a walking distance from the airport and have a good shuttle service. As you can expect from Courtyard by Marriott (I am a platinum member) rooms are nice and the restaurant was good. Stuff were friendly. I would have rated it at 4 stars but… We wanted to get to Zipaquira Salt Cathedral (Catedral de Sal) and asked the receptionist’s help. They communicated with the transportation services they use (GERF) and gave us a quote of 220,000 COP for a minivan. Yet, on the night before travel they have told us the price is actually 379,000 COP. They have admitted they have made a mistake and the manager even suggested to compensate us with dinner for the honest mistake. I showed him the lonely planet book showing an estimated price of up to 160,000 COP for a taxi to Zipaquira which includes 2.5 hours wait at the Salt Cathedral. He mentioned their transportation services (GERF) includes a wait of up to 5 hours which would allow us enough time to visit the Cathedral and enjoy the city. We have accepted the offer and thought it was a real nice gesture from the manager to compensate us. After we have finished the visit to the Cathedral which took us about 2 hours, we have decided that instead of staying at the city we would prefer to go to Monserrat which is just a short detour from the way back to the hotel. We have asked the driver if we can spend the rest of the wait time on Monserrat instead and he acknowledged it. We spent about 2.5 hours to visit Monserrat. When we arrived back in the hotel the driver asked for 535,000 COP claiming the agreed total travel time they have committed was 5 hours, not the wait time as communicated and agreed by us. Given the trip to Zipaquira is about 2 hours each way that obviously doesn’t make sense as it means it allows only 1 hour at the Salt Cathedral and no time at the city. It means they have known we would need to pay much more. We have discussed it with the hotel reception and asked to talk with the manager who was not at the hotel but they were unable to resolve the issue. We have reluctantly paid the difference but felt we were cheated (…and paid almost 3 times a regular taxi service we could have ordered). Must admit the hotel gave us the dinner for free as promised but in 2 weeks of traveling in Colombia using hotels to arrange our transportations it was the only incident we have faced. Bottom line - good hotel but we felt cheated which ruined our experience. Suggest NOT to use their transportation services (GERF - see picture attached) or at a minimum be very specific and put the terms in writing to avoid such bad feelings and experience.

This hotel and staff were the most kind, courteous, helpful, clean and family oriented - I mean they make you feel like family! I have spent many nights in hotels because of my line of business in real estate and I have NEVER loved a hotel experience like my ten days at this hotel. I never write reviews, good or bad. You cannot go wrong here. Tourists will understand when I say that feeling safe is a must, especially in another country. In the room there was a personalized safe to keep your valuables secure and the staff NEVER enter your room unless directed by guests. The rooms are spotless and fresh smelling, the staff is the hardest working, going beyond with every request - completely and always. This hotel was also the cleanest and best stocked with any amenity needed. My partner and I enjoyed the sanitized saunas, jacuzzis and gym - permitting us to create special long lasting memories! Come to Bogota and stay at this hotel; you will thank me. ＜3 We hope to stay here again, very soon. Special thanks and regards to Karen, Juan Carlos, Diego (all amazing hotel staff) and Orlando (our hotel shuttle driver). You are the best (you killed it) and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Siempre tuyo ~Patti xoxoxoxoxo

Very nice Hotel, very clean, nice and big room, excellent breakfast

This is where you want to stay while in Bogotá . Three things stood out immediately: exceptional staff; outstanding breakfast; perfect location. I have stated in previous reviews that to me a building is just a building until you add the staff. How these employees act and relate to you as a guest make all the difference in the world. Edgar is the head waiter at breakfast and makes you feel like a long time friend as soon as you sit down. The front desk staff were very patient with me and my poor spanish yet they manage to help with each query I had. There are a number of fine restaurants in the coutyard and a huge shopping mall a short 10 minute walk away. Our overall experience was a resounding YES, STAY HERE. *****

I had a large room on the top floor with a big walk-in shower and comfortable bed and nice desk for working at. Great variety at breakfast time from croissants and bread to fruit with very nice coffee either from the pot or a machine. Actually the machine was one of the better ones! Super friendly staff and the airport pickup I ordered was super easy and good value. Gym on the terrace floor is small but I was the only one ever to use it. Outdoor terrace has great views and can get windy so maybw that's why it's not used much either.

I came to bogota to visit by myself, and I stayed at Salvio hotel for this trip. The service was really good and efficient. They helped you for the transportation from airport to hotel, arrange for day tour and from hotel to airport as well. They would followed up with driver for the updates for your trip in Colombia. The hotel is very chic, clean and housekeepers are doing a good job, every time when you return to your room, it is so spotless. The rooftop bar&restaurant and breakfast buffet was excellent! I really enjoyed the view and everything. The facilities were amazing, especially in the gym area. I wanted to say thank you to front desk employee John and the lady named Carol G. She was a lifesaver! I highly recommended to stay at Salvio.

Very satisfied, hygienic and comfortable Facilities: Everything that should be there Hygienic: clean and comfortable Environment: bright and comfortable lighting, is the type that will stay next time Service: The front desk is not very good, other feelings are fine Overall satisfaction

My stay at Ibis Museo was very enjoyable. First time in Bogota. The hotel is about 25 mins away from El Dorado Airport and check in was very smooth. My spanish is very basic but the staff was very patient and answered all of my questions. It is conveniently located right next to Museo National and within walking 15-20 mins walking distance to the La Candeleria area and all the museums in that area. Theres a 24 hr La Rebaja Plus that is less than 5 min walk away from the hotel and a mcdonalds less than 5 min walk in the other direction if you need something familiar. The room service came every day with fresh towels and the security was Always outside scoping the area which made me feel pretty safe. Would def recommend and will return 👍

My experience was from the front desk and every other service that they offer. They upgraded my room for free and the room was spectacular. They added an extra touch by providing me with local fruits free of charge. At the front desk they volunteered to helped me plan the stay, routes, transportation, everything was great. At the restaurant I told them what I was looking for and asked them if they had it they didn’t have it on the many but they made it for me anyway, and every time I went afterwards even without me asking they kept making stuff specially for me without being on the menu. The gym, is way better than most fancy gyms you pay a high subscription for. The spa was amazing too. There’s so much. Absolutely everything that the hotel offers is great. And people were so friendly and kind and welcoming and treated me like A VIP, even though I look like a vagabond. They offer transportation which is great because it provides that extra level of safety and security
