    The owner and the stuff is great, I've been feeling like I was visiting friends, even though I was staying there for the first time.

    The hostel is in an excellent location in the heart of Candelaria, within walking distance of museums, shops, restaurants and conveniently located near the start of walking/cycling tours. The included breakfast was a great start to the day. The staff Michael and Karen were very attentive and helped with everything from booking airport taxis to getting laundry done etc. There's also a hostel dog called Mike Tyson who is a lovely addition but also a great guard dog.

    This hostel has been one of the best of my life! They are so friendly, and they really care about you. Moreover it is very well located, and at the same time super quiet. You will have very good sleep! The breakfast is very good. I highly recommend this place :)

    Common space is small.

    Location is the best. Close to the noise hub but around the corner so it’s quiet and relaxing. The bed is comfy particularly in the cold evening in Bogota. One of the staff let me borrow his card. I bought another one eventually but it’s still very nice of him.

    The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hostel is very vibrant and decorated beautifully. The bed was very warm and comfy, and the breakfast was basic but very good. The location is a stone throw away from the vibe of Candelaria.

    This must have been the cutest hostel we stayed in, everything is super colorful with lots of places to chill. The family running the hostel is incredible forthcoming and friendly. When we were there it didn't have too many guests, but we imagine it would probably have a social vibe.

    Room was quite small. Had to go downstairs to use the bathroom/shower. The room didn't have any windows, but had a small grate above the door - presumably for airflow and some natural light, however this did mean you could hear noise from other people in the hostel.

    Good location, friendly staff, able to leave our bags during the day before our late night flight out of Bogotá. Nice atmosphere at the hostel. Decent breakfast provided. Would recommend staying here.

    There weren't many bathrooms for the amount of rooms, but I never had to wait too long so it was okay

    The hostel was nice and clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was tasty and the staff were very friendly. The WiFi was good and it was the first hostel we stayed in that didn't feel really cold in Bogota.
