“Nice hotel in an inconvenient location”
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.

“Beautiful Historic Stay with Exceptional Service”
The building is absolutely stunning - a beautifully preserved Spanish-style mansion with just six rooms, full of charm and character. We stayed in the King Suite, which featured a gorgeous four-poster bed, huge bathroom, and tall windows that flooded the room with light. Everything was thoughtfully designed and full of personality. Little touches like dressing gowns where appreciated! The staff were exceptional, especially Francisco, who worked most of our stay. He was warm, friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us - from booking taxis and suggesting restaurants to helping plan day trips. We also met Richard and the housekeeper, both of whom were lovely. Security felt excellent - you knock for entry, and Francisco or Richard will let you in promptly. The ground floor has a couple of elegant old rooms being converted into sitting areas, and a small central courtyard that’s perfect for morning coffee. Breakfast was great, with generous portions and delicious options - I especially loved the French toast with bacon and the pancakes. The hotel is just around the corner from Plaza de Bolívar, making it ideal for exploring La Candelaria on foot. Our room faced the road, but once the windows and shutters were closed, any traffic noise disappeared.

“Charming hotel in a historic building close to main attractions”
Charming hotel in an old villa built around a walled courtyard. Its location is ideal right next to the Botero Museum and close to other museums. Plenty of restaurants around. The staff were very friendly and helpful and breakfast was excellent.

The staff of the Orchids were great, welcoming and low key in a nice way. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and it had genuine charm. The location was bustling but the rooms were also very quiet.
