Moved us to another hotel without consultation

The Book Hotel informed us while we were in the car from the airport that they had rebooked us in a different hotel in a different neighborhood. We were told that the reason was the hotel was experiencing a water problem. All of this is fine, except they had many opportunities to tell us about this problem before we were in the car. We had prepaid for the hotel through Expedia and The Book Hotel made other arrangements with a new hotel without our consent. I called Expedia that night to complain. Expedia emailed me the next day that The Book Hotel denied my request for a refund.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely neighborhood

Beautiful hotel in a lovely neighborhood. This place is in an active neighborhood but a quiet street. A short walk to great restaurants and fun night life. The Wi-Fi was a little weak in my room, but that's minor compared to how kind and helpful the staff were and what a great location this was for enjoying Bogotá.

Exactly what you need in a hotel

I give the Book Hotel 5 stars for value and charm. This hotel is in probably the best part of the cool neighborhood, Chapinero. I had a room that was situated nicely with a view of the quiet street out front and the the mountain. The lobby is charming and clean. The kitchen and dining are cozy and the service is great. The staff are very polite and patient and kind. The manager Miguel is very helpful and nice. You get exactly what you need in a hotel, at a great value. Now that I know about The Book Hotel, this will be my first choice.

Hermoso hotel/librería

El hotel está hermoso, es una casa antigua adecuada para ser hotel. La atención de todo el personal es excelente, la decoración es lo máximo. El hotel también es librería y el desayuno está incluido en la tarifa del hospedaje. Un concepto muy diferente que se disfruta mucho!!

Que ambiente tan bonito

Es un hotel bonito, romantico, muy frio; tiene una libreria biblioteca absolutamente increible. Le falta un poco de pintura y detalles menores. La gente es amable y dispuesta a ayudar. Restarurantes cercanos muy buenos. Desayuno aceptable,pero mientras las personas desayunan pueden ver un buen libro situacion que hace un desayuno inigualable. Que buen ambiente. Volveré a pesar de pequeñas fallas.

hotel pics dont show the real state of hotel

this place cannot be called a hotel, its a house with rooms , really deteriorated the breakfast is really not a buffet, it only is 2 fruits and an egg whichever style, and the eggs are not that good, the rooms have a lot of wear, the carpets are all stained, really not worth the price. also the area where its located is known in bogota for certain kind of people, no comments the only good thing about the hotel is the staff, is really friendly and helpful.

Good value for money

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would stay again if the opportunity arose. The room was small, but functional and even though it lacked an outside window it was in a small courtyard and received a reasonable amount of light from the interior window. The included breakfast was good as was the service at the hotel. Staff were very helpful when we needed assistance with cabs or suggestions on where to dine close by. There is a great restaurant named minimal very close and also a good Italian restaurant close by whose name escapes me. We received a great price on the room and for the price it was good value in a very accessible part of the city.

Excellent location, like staying at someone's home

Had a non smoking room with a queen size bed, Sony HDTV with cable &free WiFi, small refrigerator, and an electronic safe in the closet. Beautiful view from my second floor windows facing the mountains. Warm and friendly staff all the time, had free breakfast (delicious omelets with toast, fruits, coffee, and juice), also a nice menu available. 5 minute walk to the restaurants, banks, bars, park, ect. And don't forget the fresh markets that you can shop at to fill your fridge during your stay. Also felt very safe.

Work and Play

Good location, very close to lots of food and LOURDES church which is a cool plaza that has lots of people walk around and socialize. You are at the foothills and can be up the mountain on a short jog. This was super fun, because the views were great looking out over the city on a run up the hill. It is quiet enough that you can get a good nights rest. There is no office space(at least not in my hotel room) and the beds were a bit stiff, but for the price it was a very cool local place with a lot of charm.

Nice place- but issues.

Overall I think it was a good deal, for a no frills hotel, was clean and comfortable, not many amenities. The safe in the room didn't work and they didn't seem to care to fix it, it wasn't even big enough to put a full size lap top in so kind of useless. The Bathroom floors were very slick and dangerous, fell in the shower numerous times, understand they don't have the same safety considerations as in the US. The are is nice, kind of noisy, but Bogota is not a quiet town. The free breakfast was very nice, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed oj, coffee, toast and eggs, one of the tastiest free breakfasts I have had. The staff was nice but didn't speak much English but it all worked.

Quiet Neighbourhood

The Book is a beautifully restored brick building nestled in a quiet neighbourhood. Our room was clean and bright with a modern bathroom. Shower had plenty of hot water and there was a comfy duvet to snuggle under for the cooler nights. Breakfast was basic but good. The staff were friendly and we felt that although our stay here was a little mode expensive than our regular budget, that we still received good value for the money.

Nice hotel for the money.

Overall this is a very good hotel for the money. It is centrally located so you can get to the historic district and also Zona Rosa by taxi or bus. One night a dog was barking and kept me up otherwise it was very quiet and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was mediocre and I opted for eating at another restaurant after the first two days. The bar was closed (they don't have one, but you could buy a beer from the front desk. They ran out of bottled water for a couple of days. So you get what you pay for. All in all for the money I would return.
