Lima Limon Candelaria Hostel Reviews

great hostel, very cute decor and a perfectly fine kitchen and a good location and breakfast is average and the showers are above par. only complaint is that the bathrooms are in the middle of everything... right next to the kitchen...

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.

it was definitely one of the best hostels i stayed during my year in south america. the staff is just awesome and make you feel like home away from home! loved them!

Very friendly and helpfull people..

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).

Great people

Great hostel, the people who were staying there at the time made all the difference. The place was always clean , beds were comfortable, kitchen had what you needed,breakfast was basic (rolls/buns with dulce etc). Only real complaint is that the staff member had no idea what was going on for the party bus that they advertise in the hostel and when he did figure out what was going on, he failed to inform any of the 10 people who were signed up . Really nice hostel, staff were ok, recommended!

This is a really great hostal. Its small, so you get to know everyone staying there really quickly. It has a total family vibe, and has the most character of any hostals Ive seen. Its absolutely gorgeous and the staff are friendly. Would highly recommend it if you are looking for an interesting place to chill and meet people. Not a party hostal though.

The hostel is a nice place with nice staff in a great area, but the beds are made of some kind of wood that make every little movement sound like an old ship! Beds in other rooms can keep you awake, it's ridiculous. Also, there's ONE sink for the entire hostel and it's in the common area where people eat and hang out, so that's no good either.

AWESOME HOSTEL! Super cool spot, really comfortable beds (a little squeaky, but no big deal). It's really close to everything, and while you shouldn't walk around La Candelaria at night by yourself, during the day it's truly amazing. Andres and Carlos were fantastic (way better than the disorganized parent hostel, Tip-Top, down the road). Reasonably priced beer at all hours in the fridge, and spectacular showers with water pressure and temperature. Definitely will return there!

Great little hostel in La Candelaria. Staff were very helpful and beds comfortable. Can get a little cold at night being in Bogota but next time I'm back in the City I'm staying here

This hostel is just great! At the moment it's run by a couple of Argentinians, who are super friendly and take very well care of the place. It is clean and looks great and the croissants in the morning are delicious, together with homemade jelly and great coffee. Slight downsides I'd say are the squeaking beds and the fact that the hostel only has 1 social space, so there's not really a place to be alone for a while. However, people are great and it looks lovely. I'd go back for sure!

In general a very nice hostel with family atmosphere, quite most of the time but it's trued that the staff give an added value. Very eager to help you in all cases. Candelaria seems dodgy during night hours, but with a bit of attention you can have really wonderful time there and it's the only picturesque and so historical neighborhood of Bogota.

The staff is very helpful

La Candelaria is the perfect starting point for seeing the vast beauty and character of Bogota. Lima Limon is situated near several universities and some tourist attractions. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help.

Lima Limon is a very good hostel. The people are nice, the rooms and the bathrooms are quite clean. The only problem is the noise. The first night I was there it was impossible to sleep before 2 a.m. The other nights were better though.

Great hostel - friendly atmosphere and awesome communal area that encouraged social interaction. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely would stay again when next in Bogota!

I don't know about you, but I´m going back there as soon as I need to.

Lima Limon is the best hostel I have stayed at during my entire trip through South America. I stayed there for two weeks. I love the set up: the ratio of beds to common area makes for a very relaxed social (almost family) environment around the table, plus the bright, open space and aesthetics of the building make you feel okay with wasting a day sitting inside, reading. Also the staff is helpful and authentically friendly. Location's good. The laundry service is cheap and fast. I will be back.
