Location and people are nice. its important to know that this place is more like a travellers hostel. The rooms are comfortable but minimal. there are two small shared bathrooms with only cold water but amazing pressure. The rooms are next to the communal area so between 7 am and evening don't expect silence. Overall I stayed only for a night and my sleep was good and I loved the cold showers.

“Extremely caring host. Such a nice person!”
Very caring and protective host. Great location and very affordable single bed room. I became sick and the host took very well care of me. That was such an amazing experience. Thanks again!

Alejandro was the perfect host. He was very friendly and made sure to always speak slowly and clearly so that he could be better understood (I speak a bit of Spanish but far from fluent). He also brought me coffee and some bread in the mornings. The highlight of my stay at this hostel. The rooms were big and the toilet/shower were clean. And the area with hammocks was nice and cool, very good in the Cali heat. Would recommend this hostel to anyone looking to unwind and relax after partying in Cali

“Recommend this hostel 100%!”
I spent a whole week in Cali in Helena Hostel at the end of december 2023. Helena, the owner of the hostel is super nice, very helpfull and always want to share coffee. The hostel is very very clean and there is lot s of space so that everyone feels like home. During my 5 month travel in South America, Helena hostel was my favorite!! Furtheremore the location is perfect and very close to the salsa class. Go in there you will definitely not regret it!

Elena the owner is amazing. She is not nice and great to be around becuase of "customer service", although of course she delivers this exceptionally. She is just in fact a genuinly great person that also loves nice interaccións and to meet good people too. Personally, the things I look for most when travelling is to connect with local people and so by staying here this is the thing that I have most liked. The Location is excellent for learning to salsa and if you treat Elena and her home with respect, you are treated with the same and it becomes your home too.

the hostel is located in a nice neighbourhood with bars and restaurant close by and you can explore the city on foot. Helena is a lovely host and keeps the place super clean.
