Reviews of Makarena Hostel

The hostel is a very nice place. Very good location, the staff is friendly and made everything easy and funny. Comfortable bed and has sockets near that. The breakfast is also good. Thank you Sebastian for the great tour.

I don’t have any complaints.

I liked the hospitality and it's a cost feel at home kind of atmosphere.

I chose for a shared room in bunk beds and while it was still comfy, the beds are not that stable and make a lot of noise when moving, also due to matrass protection I think.

The location is excellent.

I would've appreciated much better if the breakfast were something that is characteristically Colombian.

Price, staff and location

Some details need maintenance. Might look old

Very clear instructions Fast reply from administrator Clean and comfortable room and bed Kitchen with all supplies available

No water on the day I’ve arrived. So no shower available which I only knew when I booked it.

There is a self check-in process which I found convenient. The cleaning ladies seemed nice. The communication with the owner, which was on Whatsapp, was straight-forward, too. The location is alright, mainly residential - some streets can feel a bit sketchy. But the place is close to interesting parts of Teusaquillo like ParkWay, close to Candelaria, and also very conveniently located for coming to / from airport. The hostel itself is pretty with old, varnished furniture. The room was spacious.

Could be such a nice place, but unfortunately has lots of issues. Some of these: - The water gravitates between lukewarm and warm, and is never really hot; - The internet is bad, I had to switch to my own data / hotspot; - An odd smell in the room and an unpleasant smell coming from the pipes in the bathrooms; - There is no one at the reception except for cleaning ladies who come in the morning. Because of this, services that are advertised on Booking, such as laundry, are only available in these few hours; - Most places in Colombia make you pay extra for card payments, but this was the first one with an 8% surcharge, which in my opinion is just unreasonably high; - Last but not least - the front gate opens with a code of numbers that you need to enter. But the screen faces the street, so the only way to get out of the hostel is to put your hand through the gate and enter the code without seeing the numbers. This is, of course, still doable, but can take some time, and while it can feel almost comical, it can also get a bit annoying, especially if you have a taxi waiting for you; - The breakfast very minimalistic

Super clean and tidy, well organized, available on WhatsApp and helpful. Quiet, if this is what you are looking for. Close to the airport and terminal.

The Mattress was a bit noisy, and the location/atmosphere not very touristic.

A good budget option in a safe, quiet neighborhood near convention centers and the US embassy. Nice to have access to the kitchen and common space.

We had a room with two twin beds, and it would have been a big improvement to have two bedside tables and two small lamps. It was a large room, but with nowhere to set things down and just one really bright overhead light.

Really friendly employees, the room and bathroom had everything necessary (basic), the location was good as far as I can judge, we always took a taxi and never had to wait a long time for one.

The payment was a bit complicated and that breakfast is only available from 7:30 to 8:30 is a bit weird to me. The light in the room was terrible, and the bad wasn’t super comfortable.

This place is very clean. Friendly staff if you need anything.

The beds are fairly hard and the sheets are synthetic fabric which makes them too warm. Breakfast was a little light, with one scrambled egg and a slice of toast. Location: You need Uber/taxi or know how the bus system works to get you downtown. It's too far to walk.
