    Dorm was confortable with bathroom inside room. No breakfast available. The lockers had a big gap between the one above and the one below so be careful with valuables.

    Rooms could use a bit more fresh air. A bit pricey for Colombia.

    Good staff with many suggestions. Clean kitchen. Good social vibe.

    I stayed here 1 month. Alex el mejor! He makes your stay amazing. He know a lot and help you with everything. If you have a problem he will make it to his problem and try to help you as good as you can. The hostel is very cozy and clean. Well equiped kitchen, TV and living area. Comfy beds with your own ventilator. Great location, close to everything.

    The courtyard for the other guests to hang out in was right outside so we could smell their smoke. Wish they had an area further away from the window.

    Excellent location. We missed our flight so they took us last minute. Very kind man working in the reception. We had a window which was nice! We liked the room.

    The only thing missing for it to be a 10 star hostel in my opinion is AC (could start with 1 dorm and have a different rate for the AC option). There are individual fans for each bed, but I had a hard time to sleep due to the weather (hot and humid). Also few mosquitoes in the room which could easily get fixed: the hostel could buy a few mosquito zapper rackets and place one in each room. Perhaps install mosquitoe nets for the beds too, and fix the window one (few holes).

    The hostel is right in the city center, steps away from most of the restaurants, tourist agencies & all. Staff was very nice and friendly. Cute hostel, nice decoration and very functional. Good kitchen, two outdoor and one indoor areas to socialize. Really has the hostel vibe.

    Only 2 bathrooms and those were downstairs. But that’s only something very minor to complain!

    Nice hostel, clean and comfy beds. The kitchen had everything you needed for some easy cooking. The location was good enough and only a short walk away from the center.

    Nothing really. It was a really good experience.

    This is a great hostel. It has all the little things that made it really great: shampoo in the bathroom, letting you check in a little early, personal fan and light beside bed. The location is good too, plus cats for any cat lovers

    Perhaps the hostel should check the pipes, as the water has an unpleasant smell. No nice window view..

    Good free coffee (need to prepare by yourself, but who cares), cold drinking water, very clean, high-quality service

    Nice staff, very helpful. Quick replies when messaging on booking. Nice kitchen and couches. Comfy bed. A cat walked in and the staff shooed it away so I felt better knowing my allergies wouldn't flare up like the previous hostel I stayed at in Leticia. Fan at each bed!

    The bathroom light automatically switched off literally every 15 seconds if there is no movement, which is really annoying. I have to flap my arms around randomly every so often while pooping, so I don't have to poop in the dark. First world problems I know.

    Nice location

    The hostel is new, well equipped, fancy and really nice. We worked as digital nomads, internet connection is quite good here 😊 The location is perfect, closed to the city center. Plus: the receptionists Lina and Andres are really kind and welcoming, it was a pleasure to stay here!

    Great hostel in the heart of Leticia. The owner and stuff are lovely and helpful and the whole feeling of the place is more of a home than a hostel. Beds are very comfortable; and there's always water, coffee and lots of spices available. Friendliness of the people is outstanding. Stayed in the private room where you have more privacy and comfort, and you have your own bed and toilet (and even a tv) for a very good price. The city can be a bit noisy with sounds of cars and motorbikes but I think that's generally what you get staying in Leticia.

    The room needs an AC as heat is building in the afternoon and takes time to cool down at night .... the neighbourhood is quite noisy so you don't get much sleep ....

    The place is value for money. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    Staff shouldn't pretend to be your friend to try to sell you overpriced tours. No breakfast.

    It's cozy and right in the heart of it all.
