Hotels Near Zona Comercial De Quirigua in Bogota

I was visiting family in Bogota, Colombia. On my way back home, our Delta flight from Bogota to Atlanta was canceled due to mechanical issues. Delta distributed letters to passengers covering hotel, meal and trasnportation. I was assigned to Aloft Bogota airport. After hours of frustration and chaos at the airport due to the cancellation, upon arriving at this Aloft Bogota hotel, the reception employee Sebastian Beltran instructed us to go to lunch and wait until 3 pm to check in. Explained to him we were there due to cancelled flight, exhausted and with lugagge (promise I did it with good manners). He replied to me asking me to go to another hotel if I didnt like their policies (here of course I got upset and asked him not to talk to me on that rude way and being considered and respectful, then he just ignorned me). After that unexpected rude behavior, I called to the hotel La Fontana where I stayed in Bogota before the flight cancellation. They were really kind and accomodated a room for me at last minute with an special price. Of course, I left Aloft Bogota Airport hotel for La Fontana immediately! I also complained with Delta about this behavior from this hotel staff.

Let me start with the positives: As Bogota’s airport is the major hub for domestic flights in Colombia, we spent 4 nights at the Courtyard. It’s very conveniently located in almost a walking distance from the airport and have a good shuttle service. As you can expect from Courtyard by Marriott (I am a platinum member) rooms are nice and the restaurant was good. Stuff were friendly. I would have rated it at 4 stars but… We wanted to get to Zipaquira Salt Cathedral (Catedral de Sal) and asked the receptionist’s help. They communicated with the transportation services they use (GERF) and gave us a quote of 220,000 COP for a minivan. Yet, on the night before travel they have told us the price is actually 379,000 COP. They have admitted they have made a mistake and the manager even suggested to compensate us with dinner for the honest mistake. I showed him the lonely planet book showing an estimated price of up to 160,000 COP for a taxi to Zipaquira which includes 2.5 hours wait at the Salt Cathedral. He mentioned their transportation services (GERF) includes a wait of up to 5 hours which would allow us enough time to visit the Cathedral and enjoy the city. We have accepted the offer and thought it was a real nice gesture from the manager to compensate us. After we have finished the visit to the Cathedral which took us about 2 hours, we have decided that instead of staying at the city we would prefer to go to Monserrat which is just a short detour from the way back to the hotel. We have asked the driver if we can spend the rest of the wait time on Monserrat instead and he acknowledged it. We spent about 2.5 hours to visit Monserrat. When we arrived back in the hotel the driver asked for 535,000 COP claiming the agreed total travel time they have committed was 5 hours, not the wait time as communicated and agreed by us. Given the trip to Zipaquira is about 2 hours each way that obviously doesn’t make sense as it means it allows only 1 hour at the Salt Cathedral and no time at the city. It means they have known we would need to pay much more. We have discussed it with the hotel reception and asked to talk with the manager who was not at the hotel but they were unable to resolve the issue. We have reluctantly paid the difference but felt we were cheated (…and paid almost 3 times a regular taxi service we could have ordered). Must admit the hotel gave us the dinner for free as promised but in 2 weeks of traveling in Colombia using hotels to arrange our transportations it was the only incident we have faced. Bottom line - good hotel but we felt cheated which ruined our experience. Suggest NOT to use their transportation services (GERF - see picture attached) or at a minimum be very specific and put the terms in writing to avoid such bad feelings and experience.

Great location close to the airport, there is free transportation from and to the airport and also to some close shopping malls. The service is very good

Excellent location near the airport the Dorado, room and cleaning perfect, delicious breakfast buffet type, offers transfer service to the airport. close to shopping centres and other interesting sites.

The hotel has always been the hotel of my preferred, I always choose Habitel Prime, It's facilities, rooms, restaurant are a 100% excellent service. The hotel offers a lunch.

This hotel and staff were the most kind, courteous, helpful, clean and family oriented - I mean they make you feel like family! I have spent many nights in hotels because of my line of business in real estate and I have NEVER loved a hotel experience like my ten days at this hotel. I never write reviews, good or bad. You cannot go wrong here. Tourists will understand when I say that feeling safe is a must, especially in another country. In the room there was a personalized safe to keep your valuables secure and the staff NEVER enter your room unless directed by guests. The rooms are spotless and fresh smelling, the staff is the hardest working, going beyond with every request - completely and always. This hotel was also the cleanest and best stocked with any amenity needed. My partner and I enjoyed the sanitized saunas, jacuzzis and gym - permitting us to create special long lasting memories! Come to Bogota and stay at this hotel; you will thank me. ＜3 We hope to stay here again, very soon. Special thanks and regards to Karen, Juan Carlos, Diego (all amazing hotel staff) and Orlando (our hotel shuttle driver). You are the best (you killed it) and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Siempre tuyo ~Patti xoxoxoxoxo

Breakfast is ok, fruits are relatively fresh. You can call a taxi at the front desk to go anywhere. The experience is good, friends who go to Bogota can try

Good location. Convenience for all destination. The room is bit small. Love the breakfast there, especially the beef or chicken broth.

Excellent service, from all the staff; they went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant and comfortable. Close to all, great food, and drinks. The spa was on point, thank you Karen. Finally I can’t thank Stevan enough for all the details and excellent service that he provided at the executive lounge. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back soon.
