Amazing stay, a great hotel with lots of character and service :) the breakfast was great, I had avocado and the cutest
Pros:

Beautiful inside, lots of fun art and design

Cons:

I only wish it was a little warmer, and we could t figure out how to lock the door from the inside 😅 I think modern locks (though I know they would not blend with the vibe/decor) would go a long way

The location, the staff and the comfort of the property made for a great stay in Bogota.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good. A menu described items from a plate of fruit, to oatmeal to a variety of egg dishes. The location was great, within walking distance to all the major attractions. Staff was always accommodating and friendly.

Cons:

The property was very nice but the decor and some of the furnishings seemed dated or needed refurbishing. My room was quite large but the lighting was a bit too dim for me. I didn't like that I had to knock on the front door to be let into the property.

The Orchids is a centrally located hotel with a great breakfast but facilities are faded for the price.
Pros:

Big room and bathroom and fantastic location for all the main sites. Breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Everything was dusty and not that well maintained. Towels were clean but musty. Rugs were stained and not well vacuumed.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The Orchids advertises it has a restaurant and bar. It has neither.

After staying 7 nights, I had to check out 3 days early and they charged me for the full 10 days saying it was booking.com policy. This is against the cancelation policy and I have booking.com looking into it. No response yet.

La beauté seule du site ne justifie en rien une nuit à plus de 160€ .
Pros:

Le style de l’établissement est exceptionnel

Cons:

Les prestations sanitaires sont médiocres de l’eau à peine tiède qui ne reste pas. Des poires de douches qui arrose partout sauf sur vous. Des toilettes inutilisables car pas d’eau pour évacuer vos excréments. Les bouteilles d’eau ne sont pas fournies systématiquement tous les jours.

Pros:

Un hôtel au charme ancien, mais avec le confort moderne.
Remarquable petit déjeuner, excellent service, mais le plus extraordinaire est que nous avions une chambre totalement calme, sans aucun bruit extérieur, alors que l'hôtel est au cœur de la Candelaria. La qualité de la literie nous a permis d'avoir des nuits paisibles.
