Casa Legado

I went with my brother to visit Bogota and study Spanish for a week and we stayed in Casa Legado. We had a lovely room with two beds and gorgeous bathroom in separated areas. It was beautifully appointed and had comfortable beds and linens in addition to television and luxury bathrobes, shower and bath tube. The facilities was charming and the staff made every effort to make us feel at home and attend to our every need. They provided meals as requested and many staff are bilingual. I did not have many pictures to include, but the guest rooms were lovely and in addition there were many sitting rooms and garden areas and patios.

There is no doubt that this place is stylish and comfortable and it is in a great location, close to some of the best restaurants, cafes, galleries and shops. The staff are generally friendly and the breakfast is good. One thing we found frustrating and one of the reasons I didn't give it a five star rating that there was very little space in our rooms to store clothes and other personal items. We were on a long trip and would have liked to settle into what is trying to be a home rather than a hotel but this one thing made that impossible. Also, the second room we booked for our three adult children was much smaller than we'd expected. Other things, like having the only convenient power points next to our heads as we slept, niggled. And we had a few communication issues, which were, to be fair, not helped by my limited Spanish. Security is tight, necessary but a little inconvenient when you can't get out the gate. I love what Casa Legado is trying to do in creating a sense of home in a hotel but it didn't quite work for us.

Lovely little boutique hotel in a great location in Bogota. The staff was incredibly gracious and attentive and we met several interesting people at the communal breakfast table. The hotel has a couple of very pleasant garden spaces to relax in, very comfortable and clean rooms. Highly recommended.
