Bogota is a lively city to the south (Candelaria) of the isolated beachhead where this hotel finds itself shipwrecked, as well as to the north. But here in the so-called "International Center," the streets are nearly abandoned after dark. Add to that a staff that ranges from indifferent to hostile, and most travelers will sail onward. The restaurant, "El Virrey," has some nice dishes, but, again, the service is unfriendly.
