Selina Chapinero Bogota Reviews

Pros: Staff speak English Wide array of amenities Public Transportation nearby Lots of Shops within walking distance Shared Kitchen available with most cooking utensils Movie Theatre available Staff are pleasant Never had an issue catching an uber from there You can take a single bus from the airport to the hotel (P500 I believe) They allow you to put your luggage into storage if you arrive early Cons: The taste and texture of their pancakes is suitable for a floor mat Hot Water doesn't work in all showers Co-Working space overpriced and same cost as your room Can be very noisy at night and a lot of interesting characters running around on the 1st floor during the night No washing machines had to travel far to do laundry Pillows are filled with 90% air couldn't sleep until i bought my own pillow They don't do deep cleaning and only surface cleaning (look underneath the lockers to see a garbage museum) Someone turned off one of the fridges and crammed my stuff into an already full fridge VOIP and Video calls in the co-working space suffered degradation due to either the failure to prioritize the different classes of traffic or an inadequate bandwidth to support the volume of traffic in either scenario this is an IT failure While the staff are very kind and polite I have decided against staying here again based on 3 factors: 1) You can't be guaranteed a quiet nights sleep. There's many nights you could have a better sleep with hobos in a park than inside this hotel. 2) Their private room cost is more than a 3 star hotel which guarantees a private shower with hot water, Clean linens daily and an ergonomic desk/chair with a stable internet connection 3) The kitchen most times looks like the aftermath of WWII. Most guests are slobs making it difficult to eat when surrounded by filth.

Only stayed here for one night but it was good. Nice location, friendly staff and a bar/restaurant for the evening.

This hostal has a lot of events, the beds are comfortable and there are lots of spaces you can use. It’s very cheap and the location is excellent. It’s closed to main avenues and transportation and close to the clubbing area Zona Rosa.

Good experience

Excellent hotel, but without any attention to the guest.

Very nice location, the rooms smell very bad, although it is also the responsibility of those who reserve to maintain cleanliness and take into account odors to neutralize them...

The Selina network is wonderful! Another wonderful stay in the luggage, the restaurant's typical dishes are a show in themselves.

The bathroom was in fair condition the room in good condition

This hotel is very poor, the quality of the service staff is very poor, especially the quality of the cleaning staff is particularly poor, the cleaning staff always make loud noises in the room when cleaning the room, eat in the room, chat loudly in the room, Still listening to music in the room, it's very loud

I book a suite room for 3nites, room is huge though a bit old but the price is good, so I have no complain. The breakfast is also delicious with some selection that you can choose with barcode. There is a supermarket & salon nearby so I can do manicure after a long journey and have my haircut👍 The only problem I have was there is a bar/cafe or discotheque I don't know which have the music so loud until after midnight, so I complained to the receiptionist and they move me to other room nearby with overlooking the road, is okay, I hear the traffic but not as loud as that music😁keep up the good work.

Despite booking a private apartment, and despite being in the 5th floor, the noise from the people talking outside and the loud music made my stay hardly enjoyable

The Check-in process was quite easy and they didn't charge extra fees for storing my luggage while waiting for the check in time. My complaints are more related to the room. Even when the fare was not high, the expectations were to get something really closed to what the pictures of the rooms were published in the website. The reservation was for a "Shared Studio Apartment". The mattress were comfy however the physical state from the furniture was poor. The fabrics were ragged. The Bathroom was looking good, however, the floor joints next to the toilet were really dirty and the toilet itself was not 100% clean as there was something stick to the ceramic like "spunk". The shower itself was also damage and when the water was running, it went in all directions from the top of the taps. The walls were not neat. If you are a person that doesn't care about the details, you can still stay. For me was not a good stay compared to what was offered in the reservation website.

The staff was nice, and it seems they try their best, but management needs to step up. Not demanding luxury because you get what you paid for. For the price, accommodation should be modest. They just need to take better care of things. For instance, the room had an extremely dirty and old carpet. Some walls dirty and the floor could be also improved

I liked the location...They have to lubricate the door hinges, especially those in the shared bathrooms. They make too much noise when they open at night or during rest hours. In general the building needs maintenance.
