Palermo Home Bogota & Art Gallery — Hotel in Bogota, Capital District

Clean, spacious room with large, super hot shower! Downstairs coffee and breakfast area is cozy, hip—tasty breakfast, too!

I needed a room for one night because of a long layover in Bogota. Typically, I stay in the Candelaria but found a deal at Palermo Home and gave it a try.

Great choice!

The Palermo district is keen with nearby small restaurants, cool graffiti and fresh fruit and veggie markets. In close proximity to a walking greenway, you can spot a few of Colombia’s diverse bird species, too.

Breakfast is not included but is a tasty bargain—opt for it. I had eggs with onion and tomato and super fresh arepa. Simply delicious.

The only issue is it is located on a busy city street with fast, honking traffic feet from the room. It did get quiet around 10p but traffic resumed around 6:30a. They do provide earplugs—nice!

And really, it’s Bogota, a city of 10 million + people—it’s gonna be loud at points wherever you are.

Overall, my experience was great. The staff is super friendly, and there are lots of tables and set ups where you can work on a laptop—especially helpful for digital nomad-types.

I will be...

We are happy to have stayed here. It’s a phenomenal value for the USD or Euro. The room (we chose the second largest) was spacious and clean. Kitchenette was useful for leftovers and keeping insulin cool. The staff is super friendly, from the front desk to housekeeping.

The only issue we had was the lack of ventilation. When planning for this trip weeks ago, I read in one of the reviews, complaints about the lack of a window. At the time, I thought it was nitpicky, but after having stayed there, I now know it’s about the room getting hot. There are no vents for air to get through, and the window we had opened up to an enclosed courtyard, rendering it ineffective. Personally, I had no problem opening the door to let cool air in while awake, but it does get hot while sleeping. Luckily, Bogota weather is never super hot, even in the summer.

If I could give this place a 4.5, I would. And if I find myself in Bogota another time, I would...

This place is a gem. Easy to book. I got their 4hrs before checkin and they did not let me checkin early (even though I had requested an early checkin) unless I paid $9usd. No biggie. Room was very clean and huge. Bed was super comfortable, bathroom was clean, rooms were modern. Has a mini bar and gated patio and night security. Mall is 8mins walk away to get ATM, currency exchange, food, shops etc.

Internet was pretty spotty so maybe not best if you need a reliable WIFI for work.

Overall a really nice place and good value and I would return and...
