In Colombia's historic properties, budget rooms are sometimes tucked away inside without direct natural light, so check the room photos carefully for a real window to the outside. If you are traveling solo, it is often worth comparing the cost of a private room in a friendly hostel against a cheap hotel. Take a close look at genuine room photos and pick what fits your trip best before booking.
