Best Hotels near Independence Museum - Casa del Florero, Bogota

In 14 years of traveling internationally, I have never been treated in such a rude manner. When I came here I told them that I was allergic to certain chemicals in cleaning, such as bleach. For the first week everything was fine, then the cleaner Cindy decides to use chemicals in my room, I came back and got a terrible reaction, then they changed my room, and all the sheets they put on the bed in the new room were stained or dirty or stank. I had to get them to change it six times to find clean sheets. Each time Cindy got angrier and angrier. She had no problem with me sleeping on dirty sheets. Then the new room they put me in was above the kitchen in restaurant so I could not sleep because of the noise starting at 7am finish at 10pm. Then they say they would air out the first room and I could go back in the next day, instead they put another guest in there. The next day after that guest had left the room, it still stank of chemicals -as they did not even clean it or open the window in the bathroom- (where the only air is) they left it filthy from the last guest, ( have photos) Cindy lied that she cleaned it (even though there previous guests towels were still hanging in the room, and she was very rude to me. She was angry that I communicated to the Management what was going on so she became malicious. Then the other cleaner Alejandro purposely took my sheet off my other bed in the noisy room and left me with no sheet. Then the receptionist Stephanie laughed in my face for five minutes when I complained, she then came up to my room and got a sheet and got me to help her put it on the bed even though I'm a paying guest (This was at 5pm after waiting all day for my room) I said the sheet was dirty, she got angry and went and got another, this one was also dirty and stank, so I said softly to her that this was also dirty, and she got so angry and just walked out of my room and ignored me. When I came back from the restaurant she left me locked outside for 15 minutes and did not open the door. Another guest who had just arrived was waiting to. It's 9pm and she will not give me a sheet. Do not stay here if you are a ”gringo” they treat you like an animal as they will not treat you in an equal manner if you do not speak Spanish perfect. I speak some Spanish but none of them ever slow down their Spanish so I can understand. They just speak super quick, with no care, also not one speak a word of English. (which is ok, but they could be patient with Spanish). And if you are in the middle of communicating at reception and a Latino comes up they will just ignore you in the middle of the sentence and talk them. I have traveled all over the world and without doubt Stephanie and Cindy are the worst staff I have ever seen at any hotel I have ever stayed at anywhere in the world. Bottom line is I just wanted to pay for a clean, quiet room, which is the purpose of a hotel. They seemed to have forgotten that.

Hotel w bardzo dobrym położeniu w samym centrum przy głównym deptaku. Obsługa w recepcji bardzo miła i pomocna. Śniadanie w porządku. Jednak zdecydowany minus za brak klimatyzacji i wentylatora. Do tego okna, których nie można otworzyć. Pokój mały, więc przy ponad 20 stopniach na zewnątrz po prostu się dusisz. Dodatkowo przy hotelu dyskoteka, więc o spaniu nie ma mowy. Cena adekwatna do jakości pod warunkiem, że śpisz 1. noc

Stayed three times one Selina Chapinero, amazing experience with wonderful staff. They arrange my check in since I arrived early in the morning. The staff helped at 3am giving me hot tee and planket by the time the reception arrived. The stuff is so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast and coffee are amazing. Rooms are modern and very well decorated. Highly recommend this place !

Hotel was in the perfect location close to all big shopping centres and another plus was it was very clean. Room service was always top standard and consistent however it was big let down that the hotel didn’t communicate the spa/pool pictured was not available during the whole of my stay. If I’m not mistaken it should be clearly communicated to guests prior to accepting bookings if the included amenities are unavailable especially if for long periods. In addition, if the spa is unavailable the lift and level to the spa should be unavailable for guests to swipe to that level.. I went to inspect it (not knowing it’s being renovated) and got stuck on the level as there are no buttons to go back up.. Highly recommended however, it would be nice if the hotel was a bit more mindful with regarding the communicating to guests about renovation of spa and how long it’s being fixed + not allow access down to that level if there is no way back up

Some of the staff was very professional and friendly. Unfortunately, other staff was quite rude. For example, when I asked the gentleman at the front desk to copy my vaccine cards, he practically snatched them out of my hands without saying a word. After handing me my copies, he began to walk away while my cards were still sitting in the copy machine. I politely asked for ”mis tarjetas, por favor.” He walked back over, still silent, and I said simply, ”Esos son importantes.” He chuckled under his breath but still said nothing as he handed the cards back. It was as if he simply had no interest in bothering with them unless I asked. Then, after I paid for the copies, he went to look for my change (1,000 pesos). He then told me in an irritated tone that they didn't have any change. I simply said, ”No es importante.” Throughout the whole interaction, he acted very rushed and inconvenienced, as if I was imposing on him, and he never offered the slightest apology for forgetting my vaccine cards or not having any change. (They were not busy at the time; there were two people working behind the counter and no other guests in line. At least the other fellow was professional, unlike his colleague.) I'm aware that my Spanish is still at an intermediate level; however, if you're going to work in the hotel industry (down the street from the airport, in a capital city, no less), the least you could do is show some courtesy to your guests. (We don't have to speak Spanish to pick up on your passive aggressiveness.) Also, when I arrived there were no towels in the room. It took three requests over about 35-40 minutes to get some. Everyone I talked to seemed very professional and intent on taking care of it, but somehow no one delivered until the third attempt. It was surprising, actually, because the room was immaculate and perfectly made up, except for having no towels of any kind. I enjoyed my dinner a lot, and the lady who waited on me was gracious and patient when conversing with me in Spanish. The restaurant took a few minutes to find, as there are two buildings, each with their own lobby, and the fellow at reception who checked me in didn't mention anything about the restaurant.

I arrive at the hotel and they told me that they cant give me my room and don't give any reason they pretend to move to an other hotel just one of my five nights so I have to do double checking and check and the come back to this hotel, after arguing them they give me a room that have 2 beds for my wife and me, if you are going to travel Bogotá select any other hotel. ---- Llegué a mi hotel cuando procedo a hacer checking me informam que mi habitación tiene un no Se que problema me informan que la solución es cambiar una noche de hotel y luego tener que volver al hotel, después de quejarme con el staff deciden darme otra habitación y está tiene dos camas cosa que para mi esposa y para mí no es solución.

We arrived at this hotel in the early hours of the morning (4am) after a long haul flight from the U.K. We were obviously very tired and check in was done very quickly and without any stress. We were taken up to our room which, on the face of it seemed spacious and nice, if a little tired, and went straight to bed. I can't fault the customer service, everyone was very professional, polite and welcoming. Disliked · As I showered the following morning, I noticed a dripping coming from the ceiling above the toilet and the ceiling was bowing. We agreed that once we were ready we would report this to reception. I was just drying my hair and there was a big whoosh and part of the ceiling came down! Luckily, no one was hurt but I am surprised that the housekeeping service had not picked up on the leak previously, as this had obviously been building up for some time! I called a lady from housekeeping who was along the corridor from us and she came and had a look and we were swiftly moved to another (not so nice) room that had a ceiling but we guessed had not been used for a while as smelt musty and when we ran the tap the water initially came out brown! It was the first day of our holiday and for the sake of one night didn't want to make a fuss! From our experience, the rooms badly need a refurb but the customer service we received was good.

If you want friendly,attentive, professional, helpful staff I highly recommend. The restaurant staff same. It’s nice,clean, from lobby to rooms to roof top. Hopefully be back soon it’s always a pleasure coming here. The administration is top notch. Very secure building if you have any questions or concerns or need something they are there. 5 stars

El hotel fue muy acogedor, queda cerca del movistar arena y la embajada norteamericana. El personal de servicio muy especial y atento recomiendo mucho este lugar. Volvería nuevamente.

For a hotel room like this and for the price I paid - it was an amazing stay. The only thing is that you gonna have to bring ear plugs with you, since it is too noisy. The hotel locates right next to a highway.
