I had a great stay here. The location is excellent, with everything I needed nearby, and the place has a really good atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better.
My private room was spacious, comfortable, and a great place to relax. I also paid extra for breakfast, which was simple but good and a nice option to have.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would happily stay here again!
One downside was that the windows are a bit old and don’t block much of the street noise, so it can be somewhat noisy at times. The fan in the room was also not working. Since the room is quite large for the air conditioning unit, having a working fan would make a big difference. It would also be helpful if they provided an electric mosquito repellent.

Central location, the staff are very friendly, swimming pool clean and pretty, whole place looks gorgeous.
The showers don’t drain well. The upper bunk beds are REALLY high.

La ubicación, la amabilidad de todo el personal, la privacidad de las habitaciones compartidas
Se puede mejorar el aseo de los baños comunes y ponerle protectores a las almohadas y colchones para lavarlos periódicamente y que no estén con manchas por el uso. El forro del cojín parece que no se hubiera cambiado

• Location is quite good, as it is right in the heart of the old town.
• Some of the staff are nice, others are quite rude or, but overall ok.
• The breakfast setup is somewhat chaotic, first day we waited 40 min to get the eggs done. Second day 32 min.
• The breakfast chicken is always packed with people "working" at the place but just talking and delaying the breakfast for costumers, because they are served first.
• Our private room was full of mosquitos and was never cleaned on spite of the various days we stayed in.
• Common areas seem always dirty and chaotic.

"Awesome hostel, one of the best I’ve stayed in while in Colombia. The staff were lovely, the pool was nice and the vibe was friendly and social. The capsule dorms are awesome, there was a light, plugs..."
