Budget Hotels in Bogotá

By Richard McColl

From the slick boutique hotels found in the north to the down-at-heal yet homey backpacker digs where hippies pick their toenails and dream of warmer climes, Bogotá caters to every budget (just as you would expect from a major capital city). What you get all depends on what you are looking for and what you are prepared to spend. In recent years the number of options for the traveler in the Candelaria has increased threefold, with most of the additions in the backpacker hostel category. Family run establishments and luxury options tend to do business in the historic center.
