About

Hotel Portofino

Hotel Portofino is a modest 3-star property on Carrera 26 in Bogota's commercial heart. With 14 rooms, it’s a small, manageable hotel where the staff get to know you by name. The location is its main draw: Galerias Shopping Center is practically next door, and the TransMilenio station is close enough for easy hops to La Candelaria and other sights. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and a daily breakfast with eggs, bread, coffee, and juice is served on-site.

The hotel keeps things simple and effective. Rooms are clean and cool, with views over the city, and the 24-hour reception means late arrivals are no problem. There’s no parking on site, and pets aren’t allowed, but for a traveller who wants a safe, central base near restaurants, bars, and shopping, this fits the bill. The consistently high ratings — 8.4 out of 10 from over 1,000 reviews — reflect a no-nonsense stay that does the basics very well.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small hotel, limited facilities — With only 14 rooms, there’s no gym, pool, or restaurant beyond breakfast. The facilities rating is below average, reflecting a no-frills approach.
  • No on-site parking — There’s no parking at the hotel itself, so guests arriving by car will need to find street parking or use a nearby lot.
  • No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel doesn’t accept animals.
  • Breakfast can be limited — While guests enjoy the breakfast, a few noted that the selection is limited — so don’t expect a lavish buffet.
