“Casa Candilejas strikes me as a solid choice for travellers seeking a social atmosphere and a clean, comfortable stay in Bogota. While some encounters with the reception staff appear inconsistent, the rooftop terrace-complete with pool and ping pong-suggests a fun, communal vibe. The availability of streaming services in the rooms is a definite plus for downtime.”
