Hotel Saint Simon

Hotel Saint Simon Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel Saint Simon, you immediately get the sense that this three-star property punches above its weight class. The lobby isn’t trying too hard to impress — it’s got that comfortable, understated elegance that makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice rather than just an expensive one. What struck me most was how the staff genuinely seemed to recognize returning guests, which makes sense given that this place has more repeat visitors than most hotels in the city. There’s something to be said for a hotel that keeps people coming back.

Location & Neighborhood

Honestly, the location is probably the hotel’s biggest selling point, and the numbers back it up — couples rate it 9.5 out of 10, which is pretty remarkable. You’re right in Zona T, which locals will tell you is where you actually want to be in Chapinero. I mean, you can walk to some of Bogotá’s best restaurants and bars without dealing with the city’s notorious traffic, and that’s worth its weight in gold. The area feels safe even in the evenings, something that matters when you’re exploring a new city. Plus, you’re close enough to the business district that you won’t spend half your day in transit if you’re here for work.

The Rooms

The rooms at Hotel Saint Simon are what I’d call thoughtfully designed rather than flashy. They’ve clearly put effort into making the space functional — good lighting for actually reading, decent closet space, and beds that don’t leave you wondering if you should have splurged on a pricier place. The bathrooms are clean and well-maintained, though don’t expect a spa experience. What I appreciated most was the attention to details that business travelers need, like reliable WiFi and enough outlets near the desk area.

Breakfast Experience

The breakfast setup here is surprisingly solid for a three-star hotel. They do both American and buffet options, which gives you flexibility depending on whether you’re rushing to a meeting or have time to linger. The buffet isn’t enormous, but everything I tried was fresh and well-prepared. You know what I really liked? They actually had decent coffee — not always a given, even in Colombia where you’d expect it. The breakfast area gets good natural light, so it’s a pleasant way to start your day rather than feeling like you’re eating in a basement.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally understand why people keep coming back to Hotel Saint Simon. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — instead, it does the fundamentals really well at a price point that won’t make you wince. The location alone justifies the stay, but when you add in genuinely helpful staff and rooms that feel like someone actually thought about how travelers use hotel spaces, you’ve got a winning combination. For Bogotá, where location can make or break your experience, this place gets it right without the premium price tag of the five-star options nearby.

Best hotels in Bogota mix rooftop hot tubs, emerald cocktail bars, and chef-led ajiaco tastings.
