Trip Monkey Chapinero — Hotel in Bogota, Capital District

I have been here since 21st of August and today, 12th September, I found out from other guests that they’re paying less…and they’ve been here less time than me. 9 days ago I extended for 10 days and got a 2000 paso discount. 37 0000 to 35 0000. Pitiful. Today I asked to extend for another 8 days with the possibility of another extension after that…..and again asked if there was a discount. I was offered 31500 after I told reception that was what other guests were paying. These other guests informed me today that Hostelword was quoting a price of 27 000.

Pros: The beds are INCREDIBLE!!! The employees are wonderful!! The location is awesome! The outdoor area is super pretty, and the overall atmosphere is very laid back.

Cons (only 1):

The WiFi is really quite awful. I didn’t find anywhere that it was consistent (upstairs, downstairs, closer to the lobby - all pretty equally bad)

It’s just spotty and cuts in and out OFTEN. I went through so much more data than I normally would (with “standard” not-super-great hostel wifi) which added up to quite a bit extra $$ with an E-Sim.

That said - if you don’t really need decent wifi - it’s a total steal and I would...
