I booked this hotel for two one-night stopovers in Bogota, primarily because I prefer small hotels to large impersonal ones, and I thought it was near the airport and would therefore be convenient. In fact it was about half an hour from the airport (and much longer on my first arrival as the taxi driver did not know the hotel and got lost). However, the hotel itself was clean and comfortable, though quite basic in terms of room and facilities. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the restaurant was bright and clean with reaonable and inexpensive food. Beacause I was just stopping over I didn't have time to explore the neighbourhood but it seemed mainly residential, thought the hotel was very security conscious (front door locked, no entrance without reservation) which may imply that it is not in a particularly safe area,
