5.2/10

My stay at Hotel De La Opera was mostly positive, thanks to the charming location and generally friendly staff. The breakfast spread was quite impressive, featuring a variety of fresh fruits and made-to-order omelets. However, I encountered a few issues, such as noise from the street and some cleanliness concerns in the bathroom. Overall, it served as a comfortable base for exploring Bogota, though a few improvements could be made.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in updated rooms, but the plumbing was noisy, and the bathroom cleanliness left something to be desired (especially with some mold). My room also had a lovely balcony, but it faced noise from the street. The lack of air conditioning made it quite warm during the day, but the staff promptly provided a fan.

Service

7.0

The staff were generally accommodating and kind, with some English-speaking team members, which was helpful. However, I had an unpleasant experience regarding room assignments during my stay that could have been handled better.

Location

The hotel's location couldn't be better! Nestled in the historic Candelaria district, it was steps away from museums and the vibrant central square, perfect for exploring the local culture.

Dining

8.0

Breakfast was above average, with a good selection of fresh fruits and options that changed daily. However, I found the dining options at the hotel on the fancier side, which might not appeal to everyone, especially if looking for something lighter.

Facilities

I appreciated the hotel facilities, including a pool and a spa, although the latter required advance booking. The elevators and HVAC were functional, and I enjoyed the wellness amenities like the sauna.

I had a wonderful stay at Hotel De La Opera, where the charming atmosphere and friendly staff really stood out. The location in Candelaria is perfect for exploring, with easy access to museums and dining options. However, I did experience some noise issues during the night, which made sleeping a bit challenging. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service and convenient location. 😊

Rooms

The rooms are spacious, but they had a somewhat gloomy feel. I stayed in both a Standard Double and a Twin room, and while the beds were comfortable, the bathroom could have been cleaner and better maintained. The shower was warm but not hot enough for my liking.

I had a lovely four-night stay at Hotel De La Opera. The location is unbeatable, perfectly situated in the historic Candelaria district, allowing me to explore many museums and restaurants on foot. The staff were friendly and eager to help, though some language barriers existed. However, the room comfort was hindered by some noise and plumbing issues. Overall, it was a good experience, but expectations should be managed regarding its star rating. 😊

Rooms

8.0

My room was nice, with a comfortable bed, air conditioning, and a small balcony overlooking a quieter side of the hotel. However, noise from plumbing and the street made it less than ideal for light sleepers. The bathroom was quite tiny and could use some updates.

Service

The front desk staff were efficient and incredibly helpful during check-in and check-out, which was seamless. Housekeeping maintained a high standard, though I noticed clean glasses were often overlooked.

During my stay at Hotel De La Opera, I truly enjoyed the beautiful colonial charm and friendly staff, though I faced some challenges with the dining experience. The location in La Candelaria was perfect for exploring nearby museums and landmarks, making it easy to dive into Bogota's culture. However, I encountered noise issues from the streets which disrupted my rest, and the accommodations could benefit from updates despite being well maintained overall.

Rooms

7.0

I stayed in a room that had dated decor and was lacking air conditioning, which made it quite warm during the day. Although the space offered some nice old features, I found the bathroom a bit cramped. However, the view from my room was lovely and surprisingly quiet considering its location.

Service

9.0

The staff were incredibly accommodating and made my stay more enjoyable. They took care of us well, even assisting me with language barriers. Their friendly demeanor was a highlight of my visit.

Location

10.0

The location of the hotel was ideal, right next to the Colon theatre and within walking distance of major attractions like the Gold museum and murals of La Candelaria. It made my exploration of tiny alleys and vibrant community easy and thrilling, though I noted that dining options were limited in the evenings.

Dining

5.0

Unfortunately, I found the dining experience to be below expectations. Breakfast lacked variety and quality, and dinner options in-house didn't impress. I wound up looking for meals elsewhere.

Facilities

6.0

The hotel offered good facilities, including room service and various other amenities. However, I was disappointed with the bathroom cleanliness and lack of air conditioning, which contributed to a less than ideal comfort level during my stay.
