    Beds are hard, not enough space in the dorm for everyone to put their bags somewhere, found hair in my bed sheets.

    Great location, friendly staff, free breakfast.

    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 place is very good, great location and clean rooms. However, they tried to screw us up a couple times with the prices: first of with the rooms then with beers and the bottles of water, and last but not the least with laundry. They pretended their scale unit was kg but it was actually lb… which means we paid roughly double the price. Long story short, it is a great place but watch out!

    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.

    The wifi keeps failing, so I wouldn't recommend the hostel to whoever is working or in general need to use the internet (I had data so it wasn't a problem). The soundproofing inside is quite poor as well: if you're sensitive to noise, you'll probably fall asleep with the last one going to bed and waking up with the first few people having breakfast. Paying with card applies and extra fee of 5% to the price, which I discovered leaving rushing to the airport. This could be stated on the hostels conditions (before booking). The breakfast is not very rich, which is generally how it goes in low-cost hostels across Colombia.

    The location of the hostel is perfect, right next to the city center which is a must visit of Bogotá. Inside, I found the beds quite comfortable and warm, with sockets for everyone. There's hot shower and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. The staff was nice and in general the place has a good 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.
