“Great option to stay in Villa de Leyva”
Lovely place, newly done, super comfortable and in a perfect location. There is coffee, tea and water available and you can use a common kitchen if you want to store something on the bridge, that’s super useful. Located 300mts from Plaza Mayor, but in a quiet street and you can access with the car. They have an agreement with a parking a few blocks away, but we parked directly in front of the hotel. We only spent a night, but this is a great option to stay in Villa de Leyva

The Hostel and the Location was very cute, it had everything I needed. Best part were the hosts. Very friendly and helpful people. And they recommended a lot of very cool stuff I didn’t even had the time for. Looking forward to coming back!

The owners were so kind and helped us with our activities. The place was also very clean and quiet. Perfect to have a rest in your travel. The kitchen is also very clean and well equipped. Perfect localisation, 3 streets away from the Plaza Mayor.

“Beautiful room and facilities in the heart of a great little town”
Clean, modern, large, comfortable room with a fantastic bathroom. Walking distance to Plaza Mayor. This place has been recently renovated, everything was perfect. One of the best places we’ve stayed in our last few months travelling. Also Villa de Leyva is such a beautiful town! Hosts were fantastic and so helpful. Highly recommended.
