    The rooftop patio at Botanico was amazing, with stunning views of the city. I spent hours relaxing there, soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying the beautiful weather. The staff, especially Jorge, were so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time in Bogota. They even took me to some fantastic local spots for partying and dining. The bed in my private room was incredibly comfortable, and I slept like a baby every night. I highly recommend Botanico for a memorable stay in Bogota.

    The location is perfect, being close to key attractions and sights. Additionally, the staff is superfriendly and helpful, providing excellent service. The beds in the hostel are also top-notch, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. The common area is beautifully furnished, offering a great place to relax and socialize with other guests.

    The hostel lacks proper heating, making it uncomfortably cold for guests, particularly during colder months.

    I had an amazing experience staying at this hostel. Botanico offers a great view from the terrace, and the staff were super nice. the hostel has a chill-out area with Netflix, big couches, and even two fireplaces, one indoor and one outdoor. the beds in the dormitory were large and the mattresses were extremely comfortable. I also loved the fact that each bed had curtains, providing some privacy even in a mixed dorm. the hostel's aesthetic was impressive, with a warm and cozy atmosphere. It was the perfect place to meet other travelers and start my trip in Colombia. Cons: Nothing to be said. ✨.

    The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere make this place a great choice. The delicious breakfast, salsa class, cozy lounge with a fireplace, and rooftop with a beautiful view are all highlights. The free coffee and tea are also a nice touch. Highly recommended!

    The value for money at this hostel was great! The room I stayed in had a comfortable bed and the location was perfect, right in the heart of old town. The staff were friendly and always willing to help.

    Breakfast delights with more variety would have been a nice addition.

    The hostel had a great social vibe and a nice bar where you could relax and meet other travelers. The staff were kind and helpful, always willing to assist with any questions or concerns. The hostel offered a variety of activities, including daily yoga, which was a nice bonus. The location was also very convenient, situated in the heart of the city near many tourist spots.

    There was a major issue with the room we stayed in. The drain in the bathroom emitted a horrible smell, which made our stay quite unpleasant.

    For the price, I got great value for my money at the hostel. The room was comfy and the bed was super comfortable. The location was ideal and I felt safe walking alone in the evening. The staff at Botanico were friendly and cute. They gave me a clear explanation of everything I could do both in the hostel and around the area. I loved the social atmosphere of the hostel, with plenty of opportunities to meet other travelers and participate in activities throughout the day. The view of the city from the hostel was fantastic. I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay at this cozy and loving hostel.

    The morning meal could have been better with more varied music selection, as the gangster rap and Latino trap didn't really suit the atmosphere. the bathroom could have been nicer, as it was small and humid.

    The hostel had a great location, close to important sights and in a vibrant area. the rooms were comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated, with a good degree of privacy. - the rooftop deck offered a beautiful view of the city and the mountains.

    The staff was unprofessional and incompetent. They took pictures of passports and guests without informing them, and even sent the information through WhatsApp without consent.

    At Botanico Hostel, we experienced the most comfortable beds we've ever had in a hostel. The staff, especially Jose, were really nice too make our stay enjoyable. Jose helped us get a local SIM card and a locker lock, ensuring that we had everything we needed. The hospitality was excellent, and the breakfast with a view of the city was a great start to the day. We also met some interesting people.
