Tequendama Bogotá is on Carrera 10 in the Santa Fe district, near Avenida El Dorado and Torre Colpatria. Expedia lists a 3.5 property class and a guest score of 8.8 from over a thousand reviews. The hotel offers a free breakfast buffet, free self parking and a free round-trip airport shuttle at scheduled times, with an on-site restaurant, El Virrey, serving three meals. It has 143 rooms with laptop-friendly workspaces, flat-screen televisions, bathrobes and 24-hour room service, in types such as Twin, Double, Masterking and Junior Suite, from about 280 to nearly 490 square feet. Free wifi, a hair salon, laundry, a concierge, a vegetable garden and a 24-hour front desk are listed, and cats and dogs up to about 31 pounds are allowed for a fee.
Location and getting around: the National Museum is about five minutes on foot, Torre Colpatria is about three, and Avenida El Dorado, a main road with buses and taxis, is a minute away. The Gold Museum is roughly an eighteen-minute walk, and Plaza de Bolívar is a short drive. The airport is about 24 minutes by car, and the free shuttle helps on arrival and departure days. It is a practical hub for the center, and the area is busy by day, so use taxis and ride apps at night.
The rooms and who it suits: the Twin room has a mountain view and sleeps three, and the Masterking and Junior Suite add space and city views, which makes the hotel good for families and groups on a budget. Travelers who value facilities and a free breakfast over boutique charm will be comfortable, and solo travelers and business guests also like the practicality. It is not a design hotel, so expect a solid, traditional experience.
Good to know: check-in is from 3 PM and check-out at 1 PM. The shuttle runs from 10 AM to 9 PM at scheduled times, so check the timetable against your flight. Free parking is rare in central Bogotá and is a real benefit if you rent a car for a day trip, though a driver is usually easier. Rates are modest, and the money saved on breakfast and transfers goes toward tours. For a boutique feel in Candelaria, pick Hotel de la Opera or Casa Deco, and for nightlife, choose Chapinero.
