“Perfect fall out base to visit San Gil”
We had the pleasure of staying here for 5 nights, and honestly, it didn’t feel like enough. San Gil has so much to offer, and this hostel is the perfect base to explore everything the area has to offer. The staff is incredibly friendly and always willing to help. The breakfast (only €3) is excellent, with fresh fruit of your choice, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I also surprised my fiancée with a honeymoon package, which was absolutely amazing and made our stay even more special. Highly recommended, we would definitely come back!
