We enjoyed our time there. The staff members are very nice, willing to help all the time, and very informed about the attractions in Bogota.

I really liked La Pinta. Great staff, great atmosphere, clean. It was quiet enough to get plenty of sleep, but also a good amount of socializing downstairs. People are playing cards, video games, eating together etc. There is a really good mix of people. I met people from Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Norway, U.S.... On my last night there, which was a Thursday, we all went out together to La Petra and had a blast. Can't go wrong here.

I really liked La Pinta. The two labradors are cool, it has a more chilled out vibe than the Candelaria hostel I previously stayed at, and was in a nicer part of town that was great for exploring out from.

I loved the staff of the hostel, they were always friendly and helpful when possible. This hostel is very well run. The BBQ on Friday held by the hostel was not, a think for people staying at the hostel but rather for the owners friends.... it would have almost been better if they had told us not to come.

One of the only hostels in the best part of town, near Zona Rosa, so it offers good value. The rooms are big and it has free breakfast, but the place was a bit quiet and lacking in atmosphere when we stayed there

Always a great place. Very relaxed and friendly and a great alternative to the all-party crowd of La Candelaria

Nice relaxed place for a laid back visit, close to nightlife in zona rosa and a little far from candelaria and monserrate. A very laid back quiet place with a really nice lounge, garden and a huge kitchen.

Great hostel in lovely safe neighborhood. I especially loved the two labs! Was a single female and felt very safe and looked after.

This is how all hostels should be. Besides being budget-friendly, clean accommodations one of the personnel working there, Oscar, went above and beyond in helping us make the most of our 2 days in Bogota. The van service to Andres Carne de Res (the famous nightclub/steakhouse) was significantly cheaper, more convenient, and more fun than using a taxi. It is within walking distance of a 24 hour grocery store and only a few blocks from the Bogota bus system.

Great place, especially for the price. Clean facilities, super helpful and friendly staff. The dorms can be a little hard to get sleep in early on the weekend with everyone going out, but that's standard fair for large dorms. I stayed there a week and came back for two nights at the end of my trip. Highly recommend it.

There should be hot water taps in the sinks and the showers are not separated from the main bathroom floor very well. If the water doesn't drain properly it spills onto the main floor. Ten to fifteen cm. should be added to the sill. Otherwise, the bathrooms were always clean.

I loved staying at La Pinta. The staff were so kind and helpful. I had hot showers and a comfortable bed. Breakfast ran until 11 a.m. which is great for those who of us who like to sleep in. They have two wonderful and very large Labradors, who love to play. In general, the atmosphere was friendly but quiet. The location is about 15 mins from the nearest Transmilenio stop, but Cra. 7 has buses and cabs running all the time, so its easy to get places.

I had to leave this place as they let people party all night. Paid for an expensive room to get sleep but despite my requests, at 2 and 3am, no sleep. Moved to a hotel which is ironically cheaper and 100 times better. Very disappointing! Cannot recommend this place. Mutton dressed as lamb.
