+ The coffee place next door was okay, but quite busy and loud I would say, I can appreciate that it sets a new lowest standard. And it will be a story to tell.

- It was dirty, like the bathrooms were Awfull, like not maintained, smelly and running out of toilet paper, kitchens were bad as well. And both were super small. And sleeping was optionnal, you hear absolutely everything, but like every movement around since the wall between the rooms is not even complete 😂 And people come and goes the whole night, super loud until midnight and from 5am. Who don't like child screaming in the hallway, or your neighbor, who is literally sleeping next to you taking a call on speaker at 6am 🥲 Oh and there is no one on site so whatever happen happen, i felt quite unsafe. Honestly my worst experience. It is cheap, and it is not even worth the price. And sadly, kinda made my whole Bogota experience bad...

no son claros con la.informacion, no hay quien resuelva ni responda oportunamente, no dicen que hay que obtener un codigo para el ingreso, terrible experiencia, me toco ir a buscar otro lugar a altas.horas de la noche, preguntan en la aplicacion la hora de llegada pero para nada si igual no hay quien atienda, cuando por fin contestan su retorica es paguen para ingresar, pague y despues hablamos, fatal experiencia 0 de 10!

The facilities were all fine, I needed a private room and for that it was perfect. But the location was horrible, wouldn’t recommend walking at night, not close to anything, and it was weirdly difficult to check in

Evitese una experiencia desagradable, el lugar no es como en las fotos, el personal es hostil, la administracion no responde el telefono, el sector es peligroso

La chambre était convenable cependant l’hôte n’étant pas sur place au moment du check-in, cela a pris du temps. Le café à côté est très sympathique !

+ la ubicación, el hotel es agradable y el cafe

- la atención con el tema de la reserva, no sabian nada, no entregaron toallas, la habitación que pedimos no era, no estaba ni siqueira disponible por daños y nos dieron una a la cual estaba super sucia pero llego la señora del servicio a organizarla, no habia sabanas. nos toco como huespedes pedir el cambio de las sabanas. la verdad un poco mal. estabamos cansados y no estaba lista la habitación. del resto una casa acogedora bonita.

the relation quality/price is ok, is well located to attend events in one of the nearby venues. I think the facilities could have more amenities like cups to drink water, couldn't find any, a bathroom mat and a mirror if not in the rooms at least in the bathroom.

It was okay, I had a private room, to be honest there is no “hostel” vibe, more like a hotel , I never even met the owners, it was just off dk

Cheap place, especially considering you’re getting a private room. It feels safe and the room and bed are comfortable and warm. The cafe is also good quality and a good price. However, the area can be a bit sketchy, especially for walking around at night. I also had to wait an hour to check in because they were unresponsive over WhatsApp and received no apologies. The wifi doesn’t work that well. And, most importantly, there was no hot water which made showers in bogota winter miserable.

+ realmente me gustó que para hacer un hostal, estaba muy limpio muy acogedor, y de verdad vale la pena. Me gustó también que tiene un ambiente acogedor y es muy bonito.

- debo de decir que el baño de la parte superior cumple su función, sin embargo, no es un baño tan grande y que podría mejorarse.

On est arrivés très tôt et il n’y avait pas grand monde dans l’hôtel. On a demandé le checkin à 12h au lieu de 15h mais c’était payant.. alors que la chambre était déjà prête! L’hôtel est très calme, propre mais peu d’eau chaude, pas de pression ni savon. C’est loin du centre historique et pas pratique pour visiter car les bus ne s’arrêtent pas tjs. On n’a pas vu de « personnel » à part la femme de ménage le matin, et le paiement s’effectue au café de l’...

I really recommend this hostel. The owner was answering quickly and helping with instructions. The staff was very kind and gave helpful recommendation. The café next to the hostel is a very nice extra where you can get breakfast. Public transport is close.
