Our take

Makarena Hostel is a hostel in Salitre, Bogotá. It has a guest rating of 8.3/10 from more than 300 reviews. As the crow flies, it is about 0.5 km (0.3 miles) from Corferias and about 1.0 km from the US Embassy. About 10 km separates it from El Dorado as the crow flies; leave extra time for rush hour. Guests rate the breakfast highly. We still have to check heating and street noise here; until then those checks show as Not yet checked.
