El Solar Hostel Reviews

Lovely staff. It seems to be at home!

FANTASTIC HOSTEL IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH LOVELY STAFF.

A lovely atmosphere on the outskirts of the adorable town, El Solar is an easy 10-minute walk down the cobbled streets into the center (Plaza Mayor) and surrounding streets. The bed in my double was firm but I had a great sleep in the peaceful environment. The bathroom is not ideal- more of an outhouse- and the hot shower is in a dorm room; the latter is a bit grimy. But you don't spend most of your time there. There are delicious crepes provided in the AM and tea and coffee if you wish.

El Solar was incredible. The host of the hostel is probably the nicest woman you'll ever meet. We were greeted with hugs and kisses and from that point on it was like living with your aunt or something. Really beautiful, homely place. Lovely rooms, great kitchen and loads of outdoor space. There are also cats and kittens which made it even more homely. A great place to stop and relax.

Señora Marta and her son Nikolas can't do enough to help you. Like staying with family :)

that hostel was the most wonderfull place i have never seen and the staff especially vincente and the other girl were 100 per cent perfect denise quebec

El Solar is a cam-style hostel at the very edge of the beautiful town of Villa De Leyva. It is rugged and rustic, but the views are absolutely glorious and the owner, Marta, is a sheer delight. They had accidentally overbooked for a festival the weekend we were supposed to stay, so Marta put us up in the home of a friend for the same price, but with full privileges to join the hostel for breakfast, coffee, tours, etc. It was a perfect solution and we had a glorious stay.

The owner, marta, is amazing. She made our stay amazing!

A very nice stay with Marta, the most welcoming lady in Colombia ! Villa de Leyva is a MUST, a beautiful and peacefull town with breathtaking landscapes all around. El Solar highly recommended.
