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.

Nice hotel in an inconvenient location
Pros:

Although Bogota is probably the only city in Colombia that we didn't like, the staff at the Orchids hotel made sure that we at least felt safe and comfortable in the hotel. The hotel is decorated in an antique style and the dining room in particular is very pleasant.

Cons:

Hotel surroundings (Bogota in general). But this isn’t hotel’s fault.

Elegant Colombian hospitality

Beautiful building in a very convenient location close to museums and cathedral. Majestic bedroom and lovely bathroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly security conscious.

Could do with a few structural alterations like plug points near desk, stronger room lighting and interesting (!) plumbing ... but relatively minor complaints

Good location but needs a full renovation
Pros:

Good location in Centro Historico close to attractions

Cons:

Renovations were obviously done a very long time ago and they desperately need to be done again. Aspects are not in keeping with the building which is now rundown. The one young guy running the place try’s hard but there is a feeling of coldness to the place.
