Liked: In this hostel you can find everything needed. Atmosphere is great and stuff is very helpful.

Disliked: We got 3 bed room instead of double room which we didn't like too much. Later we got proper double room which was much better.

Disliked: very loud, i couldn't sleep with all the people talking and even walking or doors closing. it is in a bad area, i got out there thinking that Bogota is the worst city that i've been.

16 June 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is located in the historical district, and walking distance to Bolivar square. So it is quite convenient for the museums. If clubbing is your thing, taxi ride to Zona Rosa is about 15-20 min, and about equivalent of $7-8 USD one way. Sheet and towel is clean. You can get extra blanket free of charge, and Bogota evening can be pretty chilly.

Disliked: It is a small hostel and you don't get to meet a lot of people. They are short of free maps, but you can get free maps in visitor center in Bolivar square.

22 April 2011 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: Really good hostel, lovely and clean, the staff were really nice, we had a huge hangover from our last night and they let us stay in the room an extra 3 hours waiting for our flight which was awesome! Breakfast is nice, the little dumplings they make are delicious! Great communal areas, nice selection of snaks available at reception - brownies are yum! They reccomended us a place to eat a couple of blocks away called the Mongolian Grill, it's owned by a guy called Jose and it's amazing, feels more like someones house you've been invited into, In fact we spent most of our time in bogota partying with them, definatley a must!

Disliked: The location was a bit sketchy as it was dangerous to walk round on a night, and it was also up a steep hill but apart from that all good.

11 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, 5 min walk to the Plaza Bolivar, there are lots of places to eat nearby too and the view of the city is gorgeous. Staff were mostly very helpful.

Disliked: It was really cold! Quite draughty inside, although the open-air area would be nice if it were warmer. The water supply was cut off when I stayed which wasn't their fault but they didn't supply any bottled water to brush our teeth with. I had booked airport pick-up which didn't arrive, it's a seperate company but booked through the hostel and they didn't seem too bothered when I told them. Patchy wifi access too.

Disliked: Breakfast could be better

29 March 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is located in a great area and is clean. The two most important criteria when I choose a hostel. Obviously, the hostel environment changes depending on the the type of guests staying but in general I would guess this hostel is more chill than party oriented. When I mean party oriented I mean a bunch of Aussies, Brits or Americans looking to get wasted every night of their stay. This is a perfect hostel to use as a base to explore the city and get into mischief in other ways.

Disliked: Nothing really.
