    The bed we had was very noisy and uncomfortable. It was cold in Bogota, and the hostel was quite chilly at night.

    The location and the price of the hostel were great. It was always kept very clean and the staff was very friendly. They have a shared kitchen and refrigerator.

    The weekend receptionist has a child that is super noisy and wakes up the whole hostel early in the morning playing extremely loud YouTube videos. We were very annoyed at this easily preventable issue. The WiFi in room 102 does not work.

    Amazing value Perfect location Lovely showers, when the hot water works

    Hostal is in a great location in Candelaria close to public transport Transmilenio and everything in Candelaria. The privat room is basic but clean and there is a kitchen you can use. The breakfast is basic but for free. We could check in earlier which was perfect as our night bus arrived super early in Bogota.

    Staff not very friendly. Was woken up really early by night staff chatting loudly at the desk in the common area (which our room opened on to). Bathroom had a bad smell and water was not very warm.

    In a good location. Free breakfast which included eggs and cheap for a private room.

    - Staff could have been a little friendlier - I think the accommodation could be advertised better. I did not know which building was the hostel.

    - Amazing location in Candelaria. - Comfortable bed and hot shower. - Good communal areas.

    The wifi did not work in the room. Beds are not comfortable.

    The location is good in the old central. Short walk to Monserrate and other important touristic places. Good place to stay if you're not expecting anything more than you paid for. Fast drive to airport with taxi.

    The window opened to the dining space so lack of fresh air, room got stuffy. The WiFi was mostly non existent. There should be a code for the front door instead of ringing the bell (bell rang at all hours of the night)

    The spacious double room, friendly and helpful staff, the location. Secure location.

    Great location, in the middle of the main area of Bogotá. Friendly staff. Comfortable and quiet room despite being in a busy street. Good security, you have to buzz to get in each time, 24hr reception. Laundry service available.

    The room was on the ground floor next to a bar, they had loud music until late.

    Friendly personnel. They helped me book a taxi to the airport. Good location if you want to visit the center (and are not a light sleeper).

    The area is shady at night. But It’s a general condition if you choose to stay in the Center of Bogota.

    Our recent stay at Villa Candelaria exceeded expectations. The staff's warm hospitality created a welcoming atmosphere, and the central location provided convenient access to Bogotá's attractions. The comfortable accommodations and attention to detail made it a memorable and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.

    One of the staff was not very friendly, bosy & one point threatend that if I forgot my shoos underneath the table again the boss would throw them out (I forgot them there once) One of the 3 rooms I tried was very noise from the bar next door. But only this one room.

    Nice & clean, loads of space, the breakfast was simple but good for the money, very central, stayed here about 4 times or more during my time in Colombia. In difrent rooms. Most of the staff was friends & kind
