Hotel is more like a 1.5 star hotel, rooms are clean, old carpet and true 3rd world showers with luke warm water pressure akin to drizzling garden hose. If you want cheap, decently clean and seemingly secure place to stay in Bogota this will due. DO NOT think you can just walk out the front door and explore the local scenery, be prepared to take a taxi out of the front door to places beyond. Down the street a few blocks, transvestite brothels and the sorts of people that type of thing attracts.
