About

In R10 you will be at the epicenter of the city, where it all started with its foundation, where we decided to declare our independence, and now where most of the people prepare for the future and make the decisions that will define it. So after living here in La Candelaria for 5 years, and housing exchange students for most of that time, we have found this beautiful building which used to be one of the best hotels of the city, right in the hearth of La Candelaria. We’ve decided to remodel it, and bring life back to it, because life is people.

Hostal R10 is located in the vicinity of La Candelaria, right in downtown Bogotá and close to its top sights (Plaza de Bolivar, Monserrate, Museo del Oro, Museo Botero, Carrera Séptima, Quinta Bolivar, Luis Angel Arango Library, Santa Clara Museum, San Francisco Church, Colon Theater, National Museum, Modern Art Museum, and many, many more. We believe that the best of Bogota is beyond its top sights, and is not tangible, you won’t be able to take a picture of it. It's in the experiences you live, the food you taste, the music you dance, and the stories the streets have to tell about.

The hostel has 4 shared rooms with special private bunk beds we’ve designed. Each one has its own closed space, a lamp and a plug, a new mattress and pillow and a comforter for the cold nights of Bogota. Also, each shared room has its own private bathroom. We also have 6 private rooms, 4 of them with a private bathroom and each one with a double bed, night table, closet and desk, in case you need to work while you travel. For the common areas, we have a living room with the dining tables, a TV room with a couple of sofas to chill and a huge TV to watch Netflix, YouTube or all the EPL or UCL matches, a cool terrace with hammocks to chill and watch the Capital’s sunset, and a bar on the first floor to take the previos before heading out for all the things Bogota has to offer every night.

Summary of traveller reviews

Hostal R10 in Bogota offers a fantastic location in the historic La Candelaria district, perfect for exploring the city. Guests frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, and the beautiful historic building provides a unique atmosphere. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, offering great views and a nice spot to relax. While generally clean, some recent reviews mention occasional issues with bathroom cleanliness and noise from street traffic, especially in rooms facing the road. It's well-suited for solo travellers and those seeking a central base.

The stuff was very helpful and friendly and I could have my bed at 6am, very nice after the night bus. The windows did not close properly so I could literally hear everything from the road, but they sell oropax on the reception… The only real problem was, that we had no water. No water for washing, showering or cooking, that was a struggle. But because of that they offered a free and quite tasty breakfast and one night without water was manageable for me ;)

Rooms clean, facilities good, nice breakfast. However, bit of a weird atmosphere, and feels like a dodgy area of town. DJ playing from 12pm to an empty rooftop.
