    The kitchen was relatively small.

    Very comfortable beds with extra thick blankets, perfect for cold Bogota nights. Lots of comfortable and cozy corners to relax and socialise in, including a beautiful terrace on the top level. Friendly and helpful staff.

    There aren’t loads of bathrooms so sometimes I had to wait for one and the shower wasn’t always warm

    Hostel is like the pictures, beds are comfy (and quite big for a single bed), bathrooms are shared and they were kept clean. Yoga in the morning was fab and the breakfast was ok for the price

    Only downside was that the doorbell stopped working and I didn't get any information about it. So it was a gamble coming back late at night.

    A smaller hostel that makes it more friendly and cozy. Very comfortable beds with real duvets.

    They started painting the room next door overnight (??) which made our room smell very strongly like petrol. They moved us to another room though for our last night which was a huge relief.

    Great people, yoga in the morning, salsa lesson, good vibes.

    We loved this hostal. Diana and all the staff were friendly and helpful and Diana gave us some great tips for getting around and where to go. The terrace is lovely and there are a couple of great cafes and restaurants very nearby. The location is really great, it is a short walk straight down the hill to the Plaza Bolivar and museums, shops, bars etc. We did the Bike tour which was an excellent way to get to know the city and climbing Monteserate is also recommended. We took part in Salsa and Yoga classes. Carlos, the yoga teacher, is a great teacher. We are 57 and 60 years old so slightly older travellers than your usual hostal crew but we felt right at home and the bedrooms are really comfortable.

    The place to stay in Bogota’! It’s been a real big pleasure for me as it was my first step in Colombia as a solo traveller! The location is perfect, dormitory too and you also can have a very good breakfast there! All the plants the fornitures and the atmosphere great too! A special thanks to the incredible staff, a mention to Federico the bartender for the unforgettable cocktails! Totally recommend ♥️

    Breakfast was good but slow, 1 order cooked at a time. Sign said good news waffles, but every morning they said no waffles. Don't ask to tip the cleaning staff, pay them better.

    Fantastic location, big private room with 2 beds, good breakfast, good botanical garden, roof terrace was great, views from roof great, hot shower, cool hostel, great sitting cushion area.

    The kitchen is very small and you don't really get the chance to cook your own breakfast as the hostel offers a cooked breakfast (for a fee) and you're definitely in their way if you want to use the kitchen in the morning. But the kitchen is available to use at other times.

    Probably one of the best bunk beds I've slept in while traveling. The bunks might be high, but once you're up there the privacy curtains, blankets and pillows make it super comfortable. The bathrooms are cleaned each day and are well equipped. Love that they have an indoor fireplace in their lounge room which was super cosy. The bartender was awesome and it was so nice hanging out in the garden area when the weather was good. Also super close to some awesome restaurants.
