Hotel Avia 93, Bogota

"The rooms are nice, clean, and the bed very comfy. The rain showers are awesome, and shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and even bath robe are provided. They have reduced the offerings for breakfast that is included in the room rate (they used to have eggs benedict as one of the free options), but it is still very decent for the price you pay. The restaurant gets plenty of natural light, and is also a good option for business meetings at night because it is usually very quiet.


I love how internet is included, and there no repeated login required. The gym located on the top floor also gets plenty of natural light (even if you go at 6am), though could do with some free weights and newer/ better machines.


For weekdays, this area is typically quite quiet. But it does start getting noisy Thu nights onwards, but it is still bearable.


Another downside is that depending who you get, check-out can be extremely slow."
