“Hotel Ambala's location in the heart of Candelaria is its greatest strength, especially for exploring the colonial district. The rooms are comfortable enough, but the real value lies in stepping outside and finding yourself moments from Plaza de Bolívar and other key sites. For travelers who want to be immersed in Bogotá's history, this hotel places you right in the center of it all.”
