I had a mixed experience at Hotel Ambar in Bogota. The location is great for accessing historical sites, but the area feels unsafe at night. The staff was generally helpful, though some issues with service and facilities impacted my stay. The room was basic without any view, but bed comfort was a plus. Overall, it's a decent budget option if you're prepared for its quirks. 😊

My room was quite plain and didn't match the photos, with little decoration and an interior-facing window. However, the bed was comfortable and the shower was great with hot water.

Facilities were lacking; the hotel seemed to be short on towels, and I didn't have consistent access to hot water in the mornings, which was frustrating.

I had a mixed experience at Hotel Ambar in Bogotá. The cleanliness and comfort of the beds were standout features, making my stay quite pleasant. However, the noise from the street and early risers in the dining room was disruptive. Overall, it's a decent option if you prioritize comfort and affordability, but I'd recommend asking for an interior room to minimize disturbances. 😊

My stay at Hotel Ambar Bogota was pleasant overall. The location is fantastic for exploring Bogota, and the staff, particularly Adriana and Carolina, were incredibly friendly and helpful. However, I found the rooms to be small and struggled with some issues like the lack of hanging space for clothes and noise from the street. 🌆😊

I had a mix of experiences at Hotel Ambar Bogota. The staff were friendly and the location was great for sightseeing, but the room left a lot to be desired in terms of size and amenities. Plus, the breakfast was quite disappointing compared to what I'd expected.

My room was incredibly tiny; I had trouble even walking with my carry-ons on the floor. There was hardly any furniture except for a single bed, which didn’t help either.

The breakfast was pretty poor; I expected more variety. It was always just bread, eggs, and a tiny piece of fruit. Each day, I ended up hunting for a decent breakfast spot afterwards.

There were basic amenities, but they were quite lacking, especially given the tiny size of my room. It felt a bit outdated overall.
