Casa Candilejas

Good location and safe good staff

Only 1 towel, hall empty hand soap/shampoo.

This is little ho(s)tel up a quiet little street near the historic centre of Bogota, backing into the university quarter and with the heart of La Candelaria only a few minutes' walk away. My room was small, and the shower and bathroom were both closet-sized, but that wasn't a problem as I could fit into both pretty easily (and I am a rather large person). What set this place apart for me was how nice the staff were. The lady even helped me deal with a fire alarm whose batteries had run low and who had got it into its tiny electric brain to disturb my sleep by beeping insistently every 17 seconds!

Location was amazing and the stuff extremely helpful and friendly. The room was perfect for what we needed. A very positive and great stay.

Not much near the hotel, block away is the Market for morning coffee. The room was very nicely renovated, in particular the ceiling recessed lights were very helpful.

Not sure if it was low season but during my stay, didn't see anyone in the building. No one at check in for three days, no other hotel guest, only the cleaning lady one time. In addition, the TV never worked, too quiet and spooky, wanted to move to another hotel. Just left the key on the empty front desk at checkout.
