The Richmond Suites in Bogota was so much more than what we expected! Staying over there was great due to many things that I will detail in this review:
Rooms: The room we stayed at had been recently renovated and was very comfortable. It had a kitchenette, plasma TV, mini living-room, and modern furniture. The bed was very comfortable.
Staff: The service that was provided was the highlight of the hotel. We were brought anything we wanted or needed, and the staff was available 24 hours a day. We had room service, hot tea, medicine, and an iron delivered only a few minutes after we requested each of these items. One funny fact about Bogota is that you can order medicine over the phone and the hotel will do this for you!
Amenities: The hotel has anything you would possibly need for a stay in Bogota. Free Wifi internet everywhere, room service, a restaurant, a business center, a spa, a flatscreen TV and lounge at the lobby, etc.
Location: The hotel is very well located, just a few blocks away from a chick part of the town called "Parque de la 93," or at least that is how the locals refer to it by. This is a very trendy spot with restaurants, bars, and lounges.
Some other reviewers had complained that the noise was unbearable, but frankly, we thought the hotel was pretty quiet. It is true that during the rush hour of the afternoon you might hear some cars honking, but we did not think it was a big deal.
Further, I want to highlight that the staff at the hotel is amazing! They can get you anything you need (yes, this includes an ironing board and an iron), you just have to ask. On top of this, they offer laundry service and dry cleaning service from very early in the morning until late in the afternoon. I believe this hotel is very well suited for business travelers as well.
