The hostel itself is super cute with great decorations & atmosphere. We were in a private room & didn't have a locker, but everything still felt very secure. The staff was very helpful and friendly, & the cat is a great addition :) The only cons were that it's on the edge of La Candelaria & I don't know that the surrounding area would feel too safe late at night. It's still within walking distance of all you need to see though, & they organize day trips for you. I'd stay here again!

The hostel is a nice and calm place to stay. But the common area is a litlle small for everybody to stay. It is also in a good location.

We really enjoyed this cozy, social hostel. It attracts a nice crowd-- diverse, interesting, and interested in what they're seeing, fun-loving but respectful enough to take the party to a bar once it gets on in the evening. Due to the small size of the place, it's never overcrowded and the sociable common areas promote lots of discussion over breakfast and drinks. The staff in particular are great-- quiet but very effective, they make this small hostel work seamlessly. A great stay all around!

Overall I really did like this hostel, the staff was super cool and helpful telling how to get where etc. I stayed in the 6 room dorms and it had a dingy quality to it. I´d imagine that the private rooms are a little nicer. Breakfast was just croissants and coffee, nothing special. The cat was something else, to say the least. When I get back to Bogota, I´ll stay here again.

Not enough security lockers in the room when full. Cozy feel. The rooms aren't really rooms, more like cubicles, so any noise carries throughout the building. Bathrooms are right in the middle of the lobby. Breakfast is advertised, but is only croissants.

We had an amazing stay. All the facilities you need for an enjoyable stay. The hostel is close to everything and it is easy to get around. Very comfortable beds and best showers in south America. Great place to meet people in a homey environment. Truly amazing staff that went out of their way to help us and show us a great time. This is the best hostel to stay in bogota, hands down. Thanks guys!

The hostel is really nice and clean, the staff are so helpful with any questions you have and there are always heaps of croissants for breakfast. I took an impromptu trip away for a few days and they kept my things safe and were so flexible. Has a nice lounge to chill and watch movies or have a beer, full kitchen too. Recommended!

I don't normally bother writing reviews but enjoyed this place so much I felt I should take the time. Bogota hostels aren't too cheap but the dorms here are good value for money and communal kitchen well equipped. The atmosphere is really chilled and homely but the staff arrange party nights - Andre Carne de Reis night was awesome. Overall my favourite hostel in 5 months travelling south america

Myself and my two friends had an amazing time at Lima Limon! The staff were real friendly and helped us with any queries we had. Being a smaller hostel it gives you plenty of opportunities to make friends with others staying there. Lima Limon felt like you were staying with family, rather than staying in a hostel!!

Lovely staff who were always willing to help. A light breakfast of coffee and croissants was always awaiting us in the mornings. The bathrooms were cleaned continuously throughout the day and the hostel always felt homely and tidy. Had no issues with safety as we avoided walking home past 8pm, it is a great area to base yourself in with many attractions nearby and local buses a short walk. Would definitely stay here again.

Lima Limon is a really nice place to be. Good location, you can easily walk from there to every major sight in bogota. the price is a bit high, but definitely worth the stay. most of the stuff can speak a little english, so its not too hard to ask for help or directions. great partybus on friday night aswell.

Free coffee all day and the best croissant and jam your likely to find in SA for breakfast. The hostel is nice, a bit small, but the kitchen is big. The showers are nice but are right where the man table is which is. Biggest downside is the location, there are some nice enough bars and restaraunts nearby, but this is a very bohemian area and can feel a little unsafe at night. The transport system in bogota is pretty awful so it's often best to take a taxi.

I spent 5 nights here and had a great experience! Pros: 1. Great staff! Very helpful/accommodating of changes in schedule, plans, etc. 2. Free WiFi and bath towels! 3. Great common area for meeting others. 4. Great Bogota Brewing Company beer in the fridge. Cons: 1. The walls are NOT sound proof. You can hear everything from anywhere in the hostel. 2. The toilets are RIGHT in the common space, uncomfortable. 3. Living room doesn't have enough couches (only seats 3).
