Reviews of Granada Hostel 3 stars

Lovely staff who answered all of our questions, very safe, good breakfast, clean, excellent location

Not very social and no tours or leaflets about them

Great common spaces and patio, very well run place with lots of staff, good place to make friends

Quiet hours were at 10 so I felt worried about being too loud at night, otherwise super great!

Great location in the old city center of Bogota. The hostel has a small outside part where you can order breakfast. The staff can also arrange airport pickup for you.

The breakfast staff could be more attentive.

The staff were really friendly, nice breakfast, great shower, great location! The value for money was amazing.

Small room, but was fine as we were only there for 3 nights. They arranged our onward taxi, but we ended up going to the airport rather than the bus station that we requested (we did make our bus in time, and also not sure if error of driver rather than hostel!)

Friendly staff, social hostel but not too full on. Good location

Staff- very nice and approachable esp. Emmanuel. The one who is always preparing a breakfast never missed on her 7AM duty. The location is very near to Plaza Bolivar. The people who are cleaning the hostel do their job diligently hence the hostel remains clean.

Granada is amazing and in an excellent location. It is close to all the great restaurants, grocery stores and museums in central Bogota. The staff are very helpful, friendly and kind. It is quiet after 10PM and the rooms are clean. The kitchen facilities are great for travelers that want to cook for themselves and there are plenty of pots and pans available for use by guests. The vibe in Granada is very peaceful and positive. You will meet travelers from all over the world. Highly recommended. I will stay there again for sure.

I had a great stay at Granada and I have nothing negative to add.

Good located and 24h check-in

Worn-out mattress, very small room and very noisy in the corridor from about 7am

It’s a well-run backpacker hostel close to most major attractions with helpful staff, good common areas, a kitchen, and cafe. The quiet time policy is strictly enforced.

My double room was really small with a very soft mattress. They add an 8% charge for card payments.

Spacious and nice interior, but not very social

You can look directly over the toilet and shower stalls - they are very low, very uncomfortable

Great location in La Candelaria district. Very close to most of Bogotá’s main attractions and there’s a safe feeling in the neighbourhood as the private university a few blocks away pays for private security. Also close to some excellent restaurants and cafes. The bed was extremely comfortable and the staff were friendly. I didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed very well equipped. I had the pancakes for breakfast and thought this was excellent value. It was around 3.50 euros for pancakes with eggs, syrup, a fruit bowl and a coffee. I’d stay here again!

The reception didn’t feel very well attended at times. I went there once and rang the bell three times and no one came. Maybe that was a one off, because the staff were all lovely when I did meet them!

After six weeks of traveling around Colombia and staying in many hostels, Granada Hostel in La Candelaria truly stands out as one of the best. The building itself is a stunning piece of old-school architecture, beautifully preserved and decorated with impeccable taste. Every detail—from the cozy common areas to the charming back patio—shows care and style. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Sebastián, Liset, and the rest of the team were always cordial, friendly, and made the experience even better. The vibe here is chill yet social—perfect for both relaxing and meeting new people. If you're coming to Bogotá and want a memorable, comfortable place to stay, I definitely recommend this hostel!

Nothing I didn't like !!!

The location is perfect! There is everything there from a restaurant to a bar. A pool table also and plenty of space to relax on a couch and read a book and meet other travelers. The staff is friendly and helpful and the building is very old, but well maintained.

Everything was great.

Nice quiet hostel. Cheap rates. Friendly staff and guests

The hammocks were just 🤌🏻. The staff is very nice.

Super small rooms. Almost no space between the beds…

Staff is very friendly and is willing to help organizing transportation.

The walls can not prevent to hear every noise of the corridor or other rooms. In that way it is a pretty noisy to sleep there as people may come and go during the night.

We had the room next to the pool table with window opening to that area. Couldn‘t open window during the night, due to loud guests.
