* There is a lovely member of staff who offers private Spanish lessons at a very reasonable price. She provides a handout for you and will help you with pronunciation. In just 2 lessons I really improved..So sorry teacher I have forgotten your name. * Great hostel ! I've been twice.

The staff was really helpful, they even lent me a Tu llave card for the Metrobus. The hostel has lots of space and the rooms are separate from the common area so that it is really quiet at night. The location is excellent, you can walk everywhere to interesting places. The hostel is safe. There is a common area and they offer many breakfast options, which you can buy for a reasonable price.

Perfect hostel

Honestly, this is one of the best hostels that I’ve ever stayed in. There’s not much you can do better than them. I especially liked the separated socialising area and sleeping area - so if you want to party you don’t disturb anyone, and if you want to sleep you’re sure that you’re gonna sleep well. The staff were super friendly and remembered all names of the guests, which I really appreciated. Showers are very comfortable, with separate changing area and hot water comes immediately!

Okay but the noise from the slamming of doors gets annoying.

Bed was big and the shower was good.

Oasis in the Old town Bogota

This place is like an oasis in the old town Bogota. We enjoyed our 2 nights spent here. The place has attitude, and the staff was just amazing. The room was just perfect, heated floor was just like a surprise for us. We felt sorrowful when we had to leave.

Hostel with solid reputation that it very much deserves

Everything! Laid-back friendly atmosphere, although I didn't use any of their suggestions for things to do, there was plenty there to suit all ages.Staff really friendly and helpful, eg when I asked about a car to the airport, they volunteered info about another traveller going at the same time so we could share the ride. Had one breakfast with them, v tasty. Room a good standard and bathroom excellent. Quiet at night.
