Bad

The people who are working and staying are super friendly,and nice. super helpful even though we don’t understand Spanish at all,they try to help us so hard,really appreciate it.

Actually I got bed bug bite so badly. I realized after I left this hostel as my body took bit time till react for bite as I got bite first time. my backpack that I put on my bed was full of eggs of bed bags. Now I can’t even stand without taking shower for an hour because damn itchy. Hope they fix bed bag problems as it’s nice place to feel part of family while you are traveling. Also even midnight ppl spoke super loudly,they have might be drunk as I stepped someone’s throw up next morning. If you really understand what is “hostel” and love it, you can book but If you are not extrovert one, it’s not right place,you will see only bad side of this hostel.

Disappointing

Friendly staff

The whole place smells like weed. For all dorms there are only two toilets, of which one doesnt even have a door. The curtains on the beds shown in the pictures dont exist anymore. Fan directly under the lamp, so the light is flickering all time.

Safe Affordable accomodations at rock bottom prices.

I absolutely would recommend this hostel to any traveler on the planet. Theirs a huge tv room which is a bonu. The two guys who run the place are definitely good people.

Perfect hostel " to save some money"

Smoking area

Depressed and clueless volunteers whom otherwise won't socialize with or even sit next to in a bus ride. Checking in took 50 mns when I was expecting it to take 10 mns max. I needed to sleep after 11 hours ride not to explain how credit cards work son. Uncomfortable bed. The whole hostel needed some professional and deep cleaning. The Manager was a bit bossy and disrespectful. You're managing a hostel not a supermax prison and I'm a backpacker not a criminal. I pay to stay You're not doing me a favor So no need to act rough or tough. Dead or boring vibe with one receptionist just looking for anything to lecture me about the hostel rules. You're a german volunteer trying " to save some money" then focus on "saving some money" don't focus on me. I'm travelling to SPEND and enjoy my money not "to save some money". And That's our difference. Enjoy your travels y'alls

Good on a budget, but a bit grimey.

It was a good location, close to the metro. It was cheap and felt secure. They had cheap cold drinks on demand which you could buy from door staff until 2am and there was a nice common space. It is good if on a budget and only using the hostel as a place to sleep.

The private room was extremely basic and felt unfinished, e.g., walls weren't painted properly, floor not painted properly, and the bathroom window was held open with a rusty tool. The floors of the bedroom felt extremely grimey. The walls are very thin, so you hear everything people are saying in the dorms, and it can get loud if the hostel is busy. The bed is okay, but the pillows and blankets are extremely small and thin. There was no natural light in the private room bedroom, and the bathroom window faces where people smoke outside so the smell can get quite strong. WiFi was rubbish in the private room, but good in the common area.

Safe, affordable, clean, comfortable accommodation.i highly recommend this hostel

I’ve traveled to 13 countries the last two years these are great accommodations at a super great price. I enjoyed the tv with Netflix and the sofa to watch tv before going to sleep. I walked 50 miles in 4 days day and night believe me when I tell you this is an absolutely safe area no matter where you walk. It reminds me of a mini Brooklyn New York. I’ve met many Colombian citizens they are hard working,family oriented, kind, respectful people who actually love tourists exploring there city’s they are just trying to survive like the rest of us on this planet. I highly recommend this hostel and this area to all travelers.

Very poor

Hello. I booked this hostel for 3 nights and stayed for 1 night. On the 2nd day I stayed at the hostel, I was insulted racist by the hostel owner, he threatened to injure me, cursed me and stole my money. Then he kicked me out of the hostel. I had entered my card information for the reservation and the money was withdrawn there. He also canceled my reservation. I will go to the police station and file a complaint and my lawyer will file a lawsuit. I want to let you know and take action on this business. I also want the extra money withdrawn from my bank account back as soon as possible!

Awesome journey!

In terms of services: nice kitchen with a lot of equipements, clean and spacious toilets with very nice hot water, laudry service in the hostel, towel fro 3000 pesos smoking area (weed friendly!), nice big dorms, very cheap, a bunch of different drinking options (beer included), awesome commun areas, a lot of good and cheap restaurants near by, nice staff! I stayed for a hole month in this hostel and let me tell you I had one of the greatest time of my life. If you're looking for an awesome root place where to meet nice people or to connect with backpackers from all around the world, this hostel is for you! I spend the new year there celebrating with some awesome people, doing a BBQ, drinking some beers and going out with the hostel customers. There is a very familial vibe in this hostel that I enjoyed more than everything else! I felt like home overthere. Thank you Daniel, Paula and all the volunteers who I worked with for this awesome journey! I'll be back someday for sure!

These are just informations, not anything that I got disappointed by. First, to anyone reading this, this place is not for families or people who doesn't like to connect with others. If you can't handle the people who are smoking, maybe look for somewhere else to go, because this hostel has a smoking spot (which is very nice and cosy by the way)! Suggestions: buying a microwave, a toaster and a couple new cooking stoves for the kitchen, maybe installing some kurtens for each beds in the dorms! For the laundry: a price per Kg or giving a standard bag to all the customers

"It was a system error and there's nothing I can do",

I Like when I got there to check-in, after a long day travelling with heavy bags I thought that would be my time to rest...

Sweet illusion, they duplicated the booking.. They did it to me and after checking the reviews I noticed that it is a common practice between them. They will book the same room for two people on the same date and then cancel one of the reservations later on without any notice. "It was a system error and there's nothing I can do", they told me when I got there to check in, after travelled all day long and eagering to rest.
