Overall Ratings & Reviews The Orchids Hotel

Beautiful historic hotel, I felt like a royal! Convenient and walkable to the square and restaurants.

Perfect location for proximity to cultural and arts centers. Great restaurants are abundant and within walking distance. The staff was very friendly and the room was spacious with a luxurious atmosphere.

This hotel is 180 years old and only has five rooms. It was a private residence until 15 years ago they converted to a hotel it’s like living in a 200-year-old mansion in Europe. The way would be over €1000. I paid 169 a night 25 foot ceilings antiques and incredibly helpful staff …

Amazing staff!

The Orchids Hotel staff are elite. Thank you for a perfect stay. Take care Christian, Marta and all there. We hope to see you again soon.

This hotel is all about Richard. They should pay him double whatever they are paying him. Richard greeted me on arrival, welcomed me, fixed my safe, made and served breakfast, let me in and out the door, gave me an umbrella, helped me with Ubers, tours, and directions, and walked me to my Uber when I left. The property is aesthetically remarkable with sprawling, luxurious rooms, an amazing included made-to-order breakfast, free wifi, an in room safe and a fabulous location walking distance to all tours and all things historic! The ONLY reason I have this a four rating, which would’ve been a 2 or 3 without Richard, is that there was limited hot water, construction carrying on outside the room, rusted out stairs, unnecessarily oversized room keys, NO temperature control available, you could hear the rain dripping on the inside of the ceiling from the roof, the fire alarm needed batteries and beeped for three days, and you have to be buzzed in and literally let out the door. This is remarkably inconvenient, particularly when it’s pouring down rain and there’s no overhang. Also, Uber will drop you off here but not pick you up here. Have Richard assist you. He was TRULY remarkable.

I only have one complaint, I had to have a cold shower. Other than that the place was great.

Great location, charming property, very amenable staff, great breakfast

Gorgeous property, perfect location for sightseeing, and the most gracious staff. Plus gourmet breakfasts.

The hotel is a converted historic house located in the heart of the historic district with large rooms that are beautifully decorated. What also really stood out was the staff who were incredibly courteous and always made you feel at home. Special requests were always accommodated and handled cheerfully and efficiently.

Bogota Colombia comes alive in the area where The Orchids is located. Close to impressive important historical and cultural sites (within walking distance). Don't look for The Orchids hotel to stand out with bright signage and impressive driveways but be amazed as you are secretly allowed to enter it's tiny doors. The Orchids is a historical, elegant and delicately restored gem. Enjoy the difference between feeling and being treated like royalty in the hotel and the edgy feel of the busy streets and the Plaza de Bolivar and downtown Bogota steps away. The Orchids staff is knowledgeable and professional. attentive to your every need. Impressive stay.

Very friendly staff great location

Everything was GREAT, the hotel itself, the staff, food and location!!!

This hotel is amazing!!! The staff is excellent and the old architectural design of the building is stunning!!!

Beautiful old building transformed into a hotel. Amazing details to the home, which then are complimented by modern baths and amenities. Friendly and helpful staff, very accommodating. Nice cooked breakfast in the morning. Very convenient location for walking and exploring the city.

The best service you have ever encountered. Francisco an Johann were outstanding in every way

The rooms are fabulous, with 20 foot ceilings and amazing furniture.

Faded grandeur but plenty of charm. Huge rooms Friendly staff and set in the middle of the historic centre

I stayed at The Orchids for several nights while on business in Bogota. The hotel was gorgeous, but overpriced for what it is. The walls are very thin so while working or trying to rest during the day I could clearly hear the staff talking loudly and goofing around on the floor below. There also is no heating, so the staff helpfully brought a portable fire place. On the second night, however, the fire place began smoking and set off the fire alarm in the entire hotel. My room smelled like kerosene after that. Finally, on my first morning the breakfast person was late, causing me to miss breakfast because I had to get to a meeting that morning. Perks were the delicious breakfast (when available), friendly staff and the ambience. I wouldn't stay here again, however.

Very nice hotel and attention. The bad: complicated shower, and loses hot water soon. So, in a 2-person run of the shower, the 2nd person gets only cold water!
