Fatima Hostel Bogota

Fatima Hostel Bogota is a budget hostel at Carrera 3 No. 11-32 in La Candelaria, the historic centre of Bogota, Colombia. It occupies a colonial-era house in the heart of the district, close to the Gold Museum, the Botero Museum, Plaza de Bolivar and the street-art walls of the old town. Monserrate's funicular and cable car station is reachable on foot or by a short taxi ride, and TransMilenio stops on Avenida Jimenez and nearby avenues connect to the rest of the city. El Dorado International Airport is roughly 30 to 45 minutes by car depending on traffic. The house has the courtyards and tiled details typical of Candelaria buildings, giving the hostel a social and informal atmosphere. Accommodation is a Mixed Dorm or a Private Room, with lockers available for luggage and valuables in the dorms. Guests share a kitchen and a common room, where travellers meet, swap tips and plan trips to Zipaquira, Guatavita and the coffee region. Wifi is provided. There is no pool, spa or restaurant on site, so meals are either cooked in the shared kitchen or eaten at the many cafes and low-cost restaurants nearby serving ajiaco, empanadas and set lunches. Service is informal, with staff able to advise on walking tours, transport and safety. Prices run roughly COP 40,000 to 160,000 per night (about USD 13 to 50), among the most affordable options in the city. La Candelaria is lively by day and can be quiet and poorly lit at night, so visitors are advised to avoid walking alone late and to use registered taxis or ride-hailing apps after dark. The hostel suits backpackers and budget travellers who want to be within walking distance of the main historic sights.
