The hostel is well located, four blocks to the plaza. It is quiet and safe and feels like home. The common areas are nice and the dorm was spacious. The mattress was very comfortable. The bathrooms were good and clean. They have a dining area and two cute cats. They offer a number of activities you can book with them.

Excellent value for money, very welcoming.

Quiet, clean and friendly family run hostel in a perfect central location handy to everything. Numerous comfortable places to relax. Clean bathrooms and very well equipped kitchen. Nice spacious room with fan and firm bed. Coffee provided also which was appreciated. We loved the calm ambience created by the decor and furnishings. We would definitely stay here again if we return to San Gil.

This was way beyond our expectations and we loved staying here. The family running the place is very nice and welcoming and always willing to help. The rooms are cosy and very well kept, spacious and maintained with very good standard. The location is right inside town, easy to walk around and closeby the neares bus station. The house has two twin cats absolutely adorable.

The host was very nice, and easy going. The location was good, only a short walk to the square and around the corner to the small terminal that goes to barichara. The shower was warm and the kitchen was well equipped. They were able organise rafting for us, looking after the payment and transport too. The two cats were great company, and the communal area with hammocks was nice to chill in. Overall, great value for money.

Great hostel in San Gil

My boyfriend & I stayed here for 4 nights during a month long trip to Colombia. We loved it here. The family who run the hostel are extremely helpful, organising our excursions and taxis when we needed them. We stayed in the king room which was very spacious and comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Super good value hostel in a central location in San Gil, really close to the terminalito for taking buses to the other lovely towns nearby. Henry and his family are helpful and around most of the time if you need anything. The dorm was spacious with lots of places to put your stuff and big storage lockers, the bed was really comfortable and the whole hostel is tastefully decorated with lots of places to chill.

Super nice and friendly ! We felt at home

We loved our stay at Real Dreams. The owners were fantastic and very helpful recommending local places to eat and helped with info on activities. Henry made excellent breakfasts everyday. This hotel is just a block away from the small bus terminal that services Barichara and all the local towns and just a few blocks from main park in San Gil. Super clean and a good choice of room types. We felt at home and will always return.
