"A good choice if you're on a budget, the Platypus gives you value for your money. It's located in the historic La Candelaria district."

Reserve ahead, and if possible, stick to the main building rather than some 14 annexed beds nearby.

Fodor's
"One of Bogotá's oldest and most refined hotels is now part of the Crowne Plaza chain. Its rooms have been updated to 21st century standards and offer impressive city views too."
Michelin Guide
"Combining elegance, comfort and modern technology with the highest standards of service, this hotel lies in the heart of Bogota."
i
Ask for a room at the back of the hotel to avoid traffic noise.
Star Service

Full review
i
Management is aloof and almost nonexistent in the face of special requests, placing this hotel firmly at the bottom of Bogota's list of brand-name hotels.
Lonely Planet
"This big, busy, all-about-business hotel may be showing its age slightly, but its location in the Centro Internacional makes it a convenient base for conferencing or sightseeing."
