​From the moment I arrived at the hostel, I felt a lovely, creative energy from the beautiful artwork and design. The staff are incredibly warm and helpful, making it a perfect stay for me. They even have a mango tree, and I got to taste a very sweet mango straight from it! ​The location is a little outside the city center, but it is very quiet and highly secure. It is also very accessible; you can take the Metro train from the nearby Miranda Station to the city center (Capitolio Station), which only takes about 10 minutes. I was told that top government officials live in this area, which explains why it feels so safe. ​The Venezuelan people truly surprised me with their kind hearts and friendly smiles. As a Burmese traveler from Southeast Asia, the environment, weather, and warm hospitality made me feel right at home. This is my honest opinion, and I highly recommend it!

Had a great time in El Sofa hostel.

As traveler I am always looking for hostels to meet other fellow travelers. I stayed there in total 5 nights and everything was super good. The hostel is situated in great location, very safe and close to restaurants. The bed was very comfortable… Huge thanks to Steven (owner) for his help during my stay. Functioning in Venezuela can get challenging and it is always great if there is someone willing to help. When I am back definitely won’t think twice where to stay.

The hostel is perfect. The area nearby quite safe and comfortable but a little bit expensive . Actually the Caracas city now is safer than almost big city in South America. The public zone of hostel is big and comfortable. The private room is good for me and my wife. The host introduces great tour guide for us to explore the city. We love the dogs and people we meet here.

Cool place , just come and see!

Steven (owner) and rest of the stuff are super friendly. You can ask him about recomendations , where to go at day/night (bars) what to eat. There are some maps as well and info about the country , what and where u can see. WiFi works fine, everything is clean. People ask A LOT: Is it safe ? the area around FOR SURE, also i was walking in diferent zones during the night and felt completely SAFE. Of course its good to be aware always no matter where u are. Short: its no the same Caracas as it was 6-8 years ago.

Little paradise in Caracas

I could have not started better than to land in such cute and loveable hostel. Soon you feel at home thanks to the very professional and easy going attitude of the volunteers and workers helping in the structure. It was my big pleasure to get to know the volunteers José and Agata, they have been such a good team managing all the needs of the guests and taking care of the place. The location is one of the best in the whole city, it was perfect for accessing the city center as to get into the Avila mountain. Last but not least I met many people who became now friends. I was sad to leave but grateful for the time spent here.

Amazingly cozy hostel where you feel at home instantly. Steven and his family are super friendly and go the extra mile to make you feel at home and to help you with pretty much all your needs. Really wonderful. The place is super clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the area is very safe. You can walk around in the evenings without worries, clean and safe neighbourhood with lots of cafes and places to eat around. Highly recommend! Great value for money
