La Casa de las Flores Hostal

Nice and spacious rooms, clean and equipped with blanket. Stunning view to the mountains on a quite nice balcony.

No hair dryer available, that's it :)

This hostel is so charming and sweet, and I really loved it. The rooms are really spacious - mine had a full-size bed plus a couch and a comfy chair, with a loft on the second floor with extra beds (didn't need them, but nice to have). There's a shared kitchen that's pretty well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils, and a shared porch that's absolutely amazing, literally up in the mountains with a river nearby, perfect air, and such a serene, peaceful vibe. I spent hours a day just hanging out there soaking in the nature and atmosphere. It's also really central, just a two minute walk from the main square (it's near the top of town, so a few things are a bit farther down the hill, but overall everything felt very accessible). I was there five days and honestly would've stayed longer. The staff were amazing too. They called me a tuk tuk when I needed one and gave me numbers to get around, and were just really helpful in general. They also offer laundry service for a small fee, which was such a nice break from doing it myself. They didn't speak much English, but translator apps and gestures worked great, and they were just so sweet the whole time. Overall, an amazing stay for a great price, and I highly recommend a visit to Jardin if you are in Colombia.

Just a few tiny things, really, nothing that took away from the trip. The private bathroom was definitely on the smaller side, though it was still nice to have my own. Since the hostel is near the top of the hill, it's about a seven minute uphill walk from the bus stop, which can be a bit much if you're carrying a lot of stuff, but honestly it's not bad. My room ran a little warm (no windows to the outside), but they gave me a fan, and I ended up spending most of my time out on the porch anyway since the weather was so nice. If you're sensitive to noise, it's worth knowing that you can hear people walking in the hallways somewhat easily, though everyone generally respected the quiet hours starting at 10pm. The one thing I'd flag is that another guest was smoking pretty consistently on the porch despite the no smoking signs. But really, these are all minor details in the grand scheme of an otherwise amazing stay.

The view at the terrace, the location is perfect, just two blocks from the main square but so peaceful. The kitchen is ample, but honestly, food and coffee are soooo good in Jardín, I didn't feel like for cooking much. The setting of the shared rooms feel very private.

Shared rooms are not available over the weekend.
