Albergues en Bogotá

The hostel is not clean. The place is totally cramped. The social area is basically consumed by a pool table. The room we had did not have any window, just the door which was located about 2 meters from the smoking area. The breakfast is consisting of a coffee and white bread pieces, if there is any at all, because on our second morning, there was not even coffee.Anybody with a car, please stay away. There is no parking. When I tried to complain about this, they offered to pay for the parking at a place across the road. We had no other choice, because after almost 2 hours trying to resolve this issue, our car was blocking the traffic and is was now dark, so I agreed. Little did I know, that they would only pay for the first night, after that I had to pay myself. They are quiet crafty in the way they deal with customers! The staff is not authorized to resolve any issues on their own. They have to call the owner and this takes for ever. In our case when we arrived it took almost 2 hours to get the permission to park our car. When checking out we lost another 2 hours, while the staff was playing phone tag. Because I had already paid for the hostel, there was no way to get my money for the parking. So, be aware: Pay only after all the issues have been resolved to your satisfaction!I still wonder why priceline.com advertises free parking and continental breakfast The staff was more than happy to take our money, but ten flatly denied to be affiliated with priceline.com and claimed they are not responsible for what is being advertised there. And by the way, they advertise tv in the rooms. Again, this is quiet crafty advertising: there are old tv's in the rooms, but some are not hooked up at all and others just show a snowy picture. Not that it did matter to us, but there was a family with 3 kids complaining about this.
