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.

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.

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.

Clean, light accommodation with a small but workable kitchen. Comfortable common area and also an outdoor spot we didn't use but could be nice for coffee. Staff really kind and helpful (no English but we managed). Good value price. Quiet place. We were able to get washing done also for a fee (15000 I think)

Briefly chatted to a couple of guests but no real social vibe. We were in a private room- maybe easier to socialise in the dorm.

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.

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.

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.

This hostel was very nice and quiet. We had a lovely and relaxing stay. The area feels very safe and everyone is friendly and helpful. There are nice cafés, restaurants and bars nearby.

The only thing they need is a few more utensils for the kitchen, like a chopping knife etc.
