Only a block from Carerra 7, a walkable street with retail, dining, souvenirs. Plaza Bolivar and the National Museum are less than a mile away. The Gold Museum is 2 blocks away.

Very courteous and helpful reception and staff. Good breakfast included, but coffee was weak. Would only store my luggage for 2 days without a charge while I visited elsewhere, though I was returning to stay after.

The hotel was very clean and it was quiet at night for sleeping. Staff is polite and helpful. The breakfast was good. It was great that the restaurant was open late and the food was good. The area is convenient to the historic city and museums (Museo del Oro) and Botero Museum. There were many convenient options for food. Good location between newer and old historic city. I would definitely return to this hotel. Good option.

Small, quiet hotel. Location is excellent close to shops, tourist attractions, restaurants, markets and MILLENNIO.
Had a quiet, relaxing roof top, and decent breakfast.
The hotel was quick to respond to any concerns you had.
Well worth the money.

Excellent location. Friday night tends to get noisy with people drinking in the lobby and singing the night away till midnight. Disconnect between reception and guests. We were asked to pay for breakfast eventhough it was all included. Sorted that out the first morning we were there. On check out, staff wanted us to pay for a lunch meal that we had during our stay there. It was paid for already but the kitchen staff left the bill in our file. In the end, the receptionist understood the situation and we did not pay twice for the same meal.

Ok for the price!
Cheap place with breakfast included which was good. I never had any issues with the wifi so it’s good too. However the reception staff wasn’t too friendly when I arrived and seemed to be annoyed to work… The plug was far from the bed…

Decent budget option in Downtown Bogota
Hotel Virrey is s satisfactory. Its a decent budget option in downtown bogota. The establishment is a bit worn, but the staff for the most part have excellent customer service skills always aiming to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The Breakfast included in price is filling and tasty. Hotel Grounds and rooms have seen better days. It felt a bit worn. Everything was kept clean though. Bed was comfortable, Room with good wifi, Hot shower with good water pressure.
The Hotel is centrally located withing walking distance to most attractions in the area.

The hotel is okay. I changed rooms since there were dirty pillows on the bed and hair in the sheets. When I changed, the new room also felt dirty.
