Great staff! the Hostel is located in a beautiful house in La Candelaria and it's close to many restaurants, museums, bars and night clubs. It's very clean and they have coffee and tea all day! I recommend this hostel to everyone, I will definitely come back!

Loved this place, seems like it was made by a traveller, with travellers in mind. Little things like plugs INSIDE the lockers so you can charge your electronics (it's the other travellers that steal stuff so lock everything up). Free towels, sheets, extra blankets. Daily suggestions and ongoings in the city. Really cool and helpful staff. Friday bbq lots of fun! Internet a bit slow at times and up in the rooms. Awesome location amid colourful historic La Candelaria and various universities.

The hostel is a bit more out of the way than most other hostels in the Candalaria area. It's also up a steep hill, which makes walking up with a pack a feat. When I said I was going to walk down with my pack to catch a cab at the street the girl that worked there looked at me and said "be careful" which leads me to believe it's not the safest street. Our room was a private ensuite with a great view overlooking the Candalaria and up to Montseratte. The staff speaks English and is very helpful.

This hostel has the best staff. All employees and the manager love what they do and will definitely make your stay in Bogota memorable. For everyday they have nightlife recommendations and they were all spot on! The one problem I have is that changing for internet. The WiFi only works ok if you are outside in the patio which is not great when it rains and cold hours. Internet should be included just as other utilities (water and electricity). Breakfast could improve.

I enjoyed my time here and as a lone female traveller I felt really safe due to the locked front door and locked storage facilities. It was also a really good social place, great for making new friends and the staff were really nice and friendly. It was low season so many of us had dorm rooms all to ourselves which was great. Hot showers were much appreciates too! The rooms do get really cold at night so you may need to wear extra layers at night even though blankets are provided.

It had the potential to be a good fun hostel to stay with the bar there but it was very quiet when we were there. I think with the amount they charge for their rooms the internet access should be free like it is at most other hostels these days.

The staff were fun and helpful and the hostel is in a good location, close enough to the action but where you are still able to get a good nights sleep.

The hostel was great and the staff really nice. We stayed in a double room with an amazing view of the city. One bad thing though is that I had a necklace stollen from by my bed in my room. The only people it could have been were cleaners so we would advise locking everything up. Really nice place to stay though

Fantastic hostel - especially for the friendly staff, nice relaxed atmosphere, honesty system for the beer fridge and nice outdoors terrace to drink the evenings away. The location is great, just next to bolivar square, and feels safe to walk around. Would definitely recommend it for sociable types.

Very friendly staff. Close to all important sights. We stayed in the double bed room which had a very good view over the city of Bogota and Monserrate. Clean hostel in a very nice house.

I appreciated that the hostel was in a very convenient location to all the attractions in the city of Bogota. The staff was very helpful and fun. When it was time for me to leave they made my transportation arrangements for me to get to the airport. I would definitely go back again.
