“Thank you to everyone for making this an exceptional stay.”
The location was in a very nice, upscale neighbourhood. It took a little bit longer for taxis to come than would have happened elsewhere, but I used a taxi app and it was not a problem. The reception will call a taxi for you if you don't have such an app. Everyone was beyond helpful and kind. Jason and Raul were at reception and the owners were at the hotel most of the time I was there. They did a great job of making me feel at home. There were more facilities than I could possibly have used in my short weekend visit - a pool, a spa, salsa lessons, at least two bars, and a co-working space with fast internet. ASlso laundry and a kitchen, everything well-equipped.

It's a wonderful hostel with a nice pool, gym, kitchen, dining area, work space, TV and rooftop! It was great to relax as there was barely any other guests. Staff is always kind and willing to help. I would definitely recommend the place to families or couples. Moreover, it's affordable and there's hot water.

“Best Hostel!”
The View is a very special place. It has definitely been my favourite hostel in recent months. This was mainly due to the wonderful people who make you feel at home. You get the feeling of being part of the family, of being integrated and getting to know each other, but also of being able to retreat and relax in complete peace and quiet by the pool or on the beautiful roof terrace with a view over Cali. The food is prepared with a lot of love and is excellent. There are also all kinds of spa facilities and even a small gym. I worked online, the internet was great and there were plenty of opportunities to work in peace. The kitchen is also perfectly equipped (there's even an airfryer!). The Parque de los Perros is just a few minutes away and offers many opportunities to go out and eat delicious food. Topa Tolondra is also only a few minutes away by taxi. I also highly recommend the salsa lessons with Miguel! He is an incredible dancer and I learnt a lot! I was always happy and the staff cares a lot about everyone. I was warmly welcomed and got to know wonderful people, for which I am very grateful! I would highly recommend the stay to anyone and am already looking forward to my next visit to Cali, which I will spend in the View without hesitation! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

“NOT a travellers hostel, don’t trust good reviews”
The bed was comfortable, bathrooms where in the room. Empty hostel, no other travellers, so if you look to socialise, go to Viajero. Location is good, close to park with lots of restaurants

Spectacular Costa del Sol Villa with views overlooking the whole of Cali. José goes above and beyond cultivating a welcoming vibe including games, hikes, dancing, and cooking that make it feels like you're among friends and not just staying at a hostel.

“Great new hostel in Cali”
This is a pretty new hostel, with excellent facilities. The pool is great, and it has perfect beds in the shared rooms. Jhoan, the guy in the front, has a great salsa music selection. I have to say this place is going to be one of the greatest hostels in Cali soon.

“A must if you stay in Cali”
Absolutely everything. So far the best hostel I have been in Colombia. The staff goes an extra mile to ensure you feel like home. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk distance.
