El Eden Bogota

It was comfortable, lovely, and very clean, with a great price. Being so close to the airport was perfect. We arranged a taxi for early morning and were told it wouldn’t be a problem, but it never arrived. Another couple was waiting too, so we had to find a last minute taxi to reach the airport on time. Two different Uber drivers also told us this wasn’t the safest area for tourists. We had no problems ourselves, but locals warned us to be careful.

You need to contact the host to get into the room, so if your phone dies or gets stolen, good luck getting in. You could be left outside at night in a dangerous neighborhood. Not good. This is a hostel, not a hotel. It’s at least a half hour from the airport, even without traffic, nowhere near 5 minutes. There’s no mention that the bathrooms are shared, which seems like an obviously dishonest way to get people to book the rooms.

It’s in a quiet spot close to the mall. The room was neat and the service excellent.

There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and it’s a great place to rest before a flight. The owner, Sandra, is very friendly and can arrange airport transfers, breakfast, and whatever else you might need before flying.
