We had a really good four night stay at the Hotel De La Opera. The staff are all very friendly and keen to help, some speak English well, others not so much, but all try to do their best to make you happy and comfortable. The building itself is delightful, an old colonial building with courtyards and high-ceilinged rooms, ours was at the back of the property and had its own small balcony to watch the world do by from. Our room was comfortable, with air conditioning, mini safe, large wardrobe and mini bar. If you are a light sleeper, you may not enjoy it as much as we did as the plumbing is quite noisy and there is a fair bit of noise from the surrounding streets, but we had double glazing which reduced a lot of it. The bed was large and comfortable, and the room had good Wi-Fi. The housekeeping is of a high standard, bar they missed putting out clean glasses several times. There was also an old stain on one of the chairs. The bathroom was tiny with a sink, toilet and shower (which tended to flood) all in a space slightly larger than the wardrobe. TV channels are all Colombian, bat CNN. The Reception staff are very efficient and we had a very smooth check in and check out, with an accurate bill and an emailed receipt. The breakfast offering is very good, with cereal, fruit, juices, cheese, meats and eggs made to order. We ate in both restaurants in the hotel, the food is good but quite fancy dishes which were tasty, but a little bit much if you want something plain or light. The service was good. The Hotel De La Opera is ideally located, few minutes from the main sights of cultural Bogota, in the historic Candelaria district. There is a spa and small pool but you need to book ahead to access it, so it is not overcrowded. The local area is fine during the day, but we were warned not to walk about it at night. We enjoyed our time in this hotel and would recommend it as a base to see the city.

Great location, with access to several restaurants and shops around quiet rooms and comfortable beds for my taste.

The breakfast was very good and the stay overall was good for the price I paid.

The staff were helpful too.

Hotel is in a very good location; lots of restaurants, shopping, and historical sites nearby. A good breakfast is included in rate (fresh fruit, eggs cooked to order, breads, cheese, meats, juice, cereals, etc.; yogurts would have been a nice addition), served by wonderful staff. Good wifi, comfortable rooms, with typical amenities. There are two restaurants in the hotel, both very good, and a spa, where I received a very good massage from Luisa. Their staff are very pleasant and helpful, I'm just sorry I didn't get all of their names (the names I did get, Juan, Luis Carlos, Hector, Edgar; but there were so many more, and everyone was great). For our visit, this turned out to be a much needed service. The day before our flight out to Chile, they made arrangements for their driver to drive us to a clinic to get our PCR tests. The next day, while waiting in the lobby after checking out, and Hector printing out all the documents we needed to travel, we received the results that my husband tested positive. So they helped us move to a much larger, more comfortable room, where we stayed for 5 day isolation. There is a good market nearby, which came in handy for me to stock up on bottled water, snacks, wine/beer. Thank goodness for the two good restaurants in the hotel, which we used for our nightly room service. But the most important thing we can say, is how WONDERFUL all the staff were throughout all of this. I was down in reception every day, for one reason or another, and always received courteous, helpful service. One day I needed to exchange money, I didn't want to walk the many blocks to the nearest exchange place, so one of the staff in the lobby offered to go for me. The day before our flight back to the US, the gentlemen in reception made arrangements for a clinic to come to the hotel to take our Antigen tests, for a reasonable fee of $219,000 pesos (about $55 US) for both of us. We decided not to travel to Chile, as Chile requires a 14 day wait from date of 1st positive test, to enter the country, which would push us back too many days on itinerary. Again, much appreciation to the WONDERFUL staff, all of who went over and beyond to accommodate us. We highly recommend this hotel when staying in Bogota.
