    Hotel is cozy and clean! Very good location!

  • Samuel from Australia (10/10)

    This guest house is a great find! The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean. The location is so convenient in the heart of La Candelaria. Maria the host is so lovely and welcoming and very kind to let us store our bags and access the common areas after checkout. We really felt at home.

  • Mait from Estonia (10/10)

  • Phil from United Kingdom (9/10)

    Great location close to most of the sights and museums

  • Stephanie from Colombia (9/10)

    Magdalena Guest House is a beautiful quiet oasis in a busy central neighbourhood. Fernanda is a wonderful host, and the house is beautiful. My room faced the garden and it was so lovely and quiet, and had gorgeous flowering trees. There is a common kitchen with coffee and tea, a living room, and courtyard/garden.

  • Deborah from Netherlands (10/10)

    The lady was so friendly from the guest house, helping is out with everything. Giving us good tips etcetera. It is a small room, but everything is clean and tidy! Good shower

  • Michael from United States (10/10)

  • Cathrine from Norway (10/10)

    Such a beautiful home! The room was spacious, modern and comfortable. The host was lovely and kind, she gave us many recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Never slept so good in any accommodation before! They have a big kitchen with everything you need and a comfortable commonarea.

  • Nicholas from United Kingdom (10/10)

    I can't recommend the Magdalena Guest House highly enough for a visit to Bogota. Ideally located in the historic centre and in a road populated with amazing museums, restaurants, coffee shops and close to the Cathedral, this should be your first choice for accommodation that is pristine, spacious, quiet, secure and fantastically appointed. Set back from the main road in a beautiful garden, at the heart of Magdalena Guest House is the live-in host Fernanda whose warm welcome, kindness, patience and immense knowledgeability of the city add incredible value to your stay. In fact, it should be called the Fernanda Guest House! I can't wait to return!
