Hostal Los Guaduales

+ Les lits larges, l’emplacement au calme et le jacuzzi

- Le prix est un peu élevé en dortoir pour les prestations offertes

+ Nice clean rooms and great outdoor area feels like a little oasis in the city and the hot tub was really nice to use in the evening

- None

+ Nice shared spaces, rooms are basic but clean. Big plus is the activities every night like playing local games such as tejo; easy to meet other people and fun!

+ Very nice cozy place. It feels like you enter different world , different from other surrounding in Salento. The stuff is super nice and helpful… available all the time on phone and physically

- The room was too small with super large bed… no place for the bags. But not a big issue for a few nights

+ Jefferson and Veronica were super friendly and kind. Loved all the cats. Location was excellent and when I was there it was very sociable.

+ L'emplacement, la personne de l'accueil était très attentionné

- Le petit déjeuner pas à l'heure Le 1er jour nous avons du déjeuner a l'extérieur car il n'y avait personne, le 2eme jour nous avons attendu plus d'une 1/2 heure pour voir la personne qui préparait le pdj et le sourire devait être en option.

+ Le personnel est vraiment vraiment adorable ! Il y a plein d’activités organisées chaque jour et tout est bien pensé. L’hostel est idéalement situé proche de la gare routière et du centre ville.

- J’ai séjourné en chambre individuelle, il faisait froid et humide après une journée de pluie ce n’est pas très agréable. La chambre donnait sur la rue très passante sans fenêtre juste les volets typiques il y avait beaucoup de bruit. La salle de bain était sommaire et il n’y avait pas de sèche cheveux.

+ De ligging is goed, maar alles in salento is op 10 minuten wandelen dus locatie is hoe dan ook geen issue in salento

- I had some rude if not just plain arrogant encounters with the staff. Furthermore, you need to walk outside to get to a toilet if you stay in the dormitories so that’s something to keep in mind. The bedlinnen was full of stains when I arrived. Lastly, we upgraded rooms and they were very unclear with the extra costs so we had to pay extra twice.

+ Estrella del Sur is conveniently and centrally located in Salento and is a great location to get to everything you need. The staff were also incredibly helpful, especially Carolina, and we loved all the hostel cats!

- The reason for below average room rating is because the first room we had was next to reception and was very noisy, it felt like you were on the street. Another lovely staff member (can’t remember the name, sorry) helped us and enabled us to move room, which was better. The hostel is quite noisy in general though as there is a nearby establishment playing music everyday quite loudly. The rooms are also ok but the bathrooms were very small and damp. The kitchen facilities are also not great, it’s very small and doesn’t feel the most clean but it’s good to have the option to cook.

+ Location was great. Good to have a kitchen to use (though could do with some more items like a seive). My partner also appreciated the pull up bar and weights. Friendly staff and lots of events on in the day and evenings (though we didn't attend but heard good feedback from other guests).

- A few issues with our room - there was quite a strong smell of damp/mould in our room unfortunately. There was also a big gap at the top of our door covered only by mosquito netting which meant we were woken up by anyone else coming home to other rooms nearby in the middle of the night. Similarly, when the girls next door decided to smoke right outside our door, our room smelt like smoke. Also walls and ceiling very thin and wooden so felt like the couple above us were in the room with us... Was nice to have breakfast included but it started quite late so when we went out early for the first jeep to Cocora, we had to buy breakfast to take with us.

+ Muy bonito, fresco y acogedor...🌹🙏

+ La Sra Obeida fue tan amable y tan simpática que mejoró un poco la experiencia. Hay unos gatitos adorables preciosos.

- Hay muchísimo ruido ya que las paredes son muy finas. Hay música del hotel hasta las 22.30h (tuvimos que pedir que apagaran la música 2 de las 3 noches que estuvimos). También se escuchan los huespedes caminar y Charlar. La habitación olía a humedad y en muchos momentos también a clocacas / baño (a veces los huéspedes fumaban al lado de nuestra ventanilla). Las habitaciones se podrían mejorar mucho (almohadas muy viejas y colchón doble que se hunde a la mitad)

+ L'amabilité d'un membre du personnel qui a fait tout son possible pour faciliter notre séjour.

- Déception. Aucune réponse n'a jamais été apportée à ma demande de modification de réservation faite par l'intermédiaire de Booking. J'ai donc été conduit à accepter de payer une nuit supplémentaire pour rien. Chambre exiguë, humide, sans ouverture. Fermeture de la porte de la chambre avec un petit cadenas, cela n'est pas sécurisant. A mon sens cet établissement tient plus d'un campement que d'un hostal. Il n'a rien à faire sur Booking.

+ Rooms are small but fine, it feels a bit "wet" from the walls but thats not a big issue. Hangmocks around the area. Everyone working here is super nice and friendly! 🤩 They have a WA group where they will post all the events going on - and they really have a lot. :) we had chocolate con Queso evening and game night 🤗 really cool! Breakfast is basic but also really good. You get a lot of fruit, tee and coffee 🫶🏼 They really try to keep the place clean thats also a plus 🤩 Can definitely recommend! So close to the main square and across from shakshuka!! Best restaurant in town!! 🤗
