"Rooms in this small inn are cramped but they're clean and comfortable and the colonial building looks right at home in Candelaria's historic center."

"A good choice for those looking for reasonably priced accommodations, the Amabala boasts a friendly and helpful staff. Relatively small rooms."

"Something like a Bogotá ‘capsule hotel,’ this friendly 22-room hotel has a trace of colonial style in its closet-sized rooms."
