Columbus Rooftop Hostels

really dirty, kitchen infested with insects, no cleaning or disinfecting products available, noise beyond the scheduled time

The hostel was really really dirty, and the staff were not nice. Even though the location is good, I don’t think its worth it.

Location and facilities were great! Very nice rooftop and the rooms were also sufficient. In general everyone was very friendly too which was great! Only remark I have is perhaps the atmosphere of the rooftop got taken over by the volunteers in some instances. Some of them used it more to smoke (weed) and hang out a lot of the time which isn’t very inviting for some. I also expected (as per the website) that there would be more activities that would be organised, but this was not the case.

The pictures do not reflect reality. The volunteers were partying all night, so if you don't want to sleep, this is the place for you. The volunteers smoked nothing but cigarettes and the whole place smelled bad/sweet. Cockroaches in the common areas. I do not recommend the place. The hostel was more for volunteers than for paying customers.

La recepcionista era Alicia, muy simpática y atenta. Estuve una sola noche, pero la cama super cómoda y había ambiente para quien quisiera.Sin duda repetiría.

The hostel is very social and I met lots of great people. It's located in the beautiful old town of Vegueta and is very well connected to the island's bus network. It takes a maximum of one hour to get to the south on the Global buses. The rooms are nice, the beds are relatively large, and you can lock your room. Volunteers also regularly organize activities, which is a great way to connect with other guests. I would definitely stay at this hostel again. :)

+ Super Social, not too dirty speaking of hostel standards, good vibe - Ventilation: there are private rooms and dorms without windows to get fresh air.(although it seems like it on the pictures but their are actually facing the indoor common area). Moreover, the AC seems to be connected to the rooftop terasse and kitchen downstairs leading to the AC (only source of fresh air in theory) blowing cigarette smoke and kitchen smell into your room. Don’t know why you‘d even rent out such a room!

Me quedé 2 noches alli con mi pareja, el chico italiano de la recepción fue de lo mas amable y gentil, la habitación grande limpia, los baños no tanto eso podría mejorar, las zonas sociales geniales, es organizado y me senti en un lugar seguro. Si me volveria a quedar alli

Super séjour à Columbus, hostel très accueillant et friendly, un vrai esprit de partage ! Pleins d’animations, de temps conviviaux proposés, je recommande ++++ Et big up à mes deux volontaires français préférés, Jimmy et Goeffroy 😘😘

Maybe paying actual cleaners to clean wouldn’t be such a terrible idea. Hostel is dirty as hell.

Da fuori non c’é nemmeno un’insegna e fai fatica a identificare il portone ! La camera era sporchissima ,sia le coperte che i cuscini .spesso alcuni bagni erano rotti o intesati .la prima notte non sono riuscito a dormire perché molti ragazzi facevano schiamazzi oltre l’orario consentito .

One of the best hostel experiences!! We got the private room though because it was almost the same price since we were 2 people. Lots of activities, great facilities and cozy rooftop. Only thing that the floor in our room was quite dirty and the bathroom on our floor was full of mold. The showers downstairs were in good condition though! The location is perfect, in the middle of old town with good connections. The most we appreciated the good vibes & super friendly guests and staff! 🙏🏼🎀

I really enjoyed my stay here. The atmosphere and the location are great. Also the volunteers are so friendly and helpful. Especially Dora was really lovely. Thanks a lot!

It was an amazing hostel with a great staff! I loved it there. The only bad thing was that the showers water was only warm at a few times per day. I would recommend.

Great place highly recommend for any backpacker

Sehr soziales und freundliches Hostel!! Ich hatte eine super Zeit dort und würde es immerwieder wählen!!

Out of all the hostels on the island i always tried to come back to Columbus, I hostel hopped all of them. If you are coming to Gran Canaria do yourself the favor and just book your entire stay here (in advance, if you dont you end up hostel-hopping like me :-) the vibe here is the most chill, the rooftop is the nicest, the people have the general same chill vibe, and the Volunteers are all cool too 👌 specifically Geoffroy

Words can hardly describe how good this place is. People in here feel like family. Special thanks to Dora for making this place a home.

Hostel agréable et confortable.. Terrasse avec. Un air de vacances, volontaires très sympas surtout les Français.

Just back from a week trip and loved my stay at Columbus Rooftop Hostel! Great atmosphere and Mikka was an incredible host. Loved her social events ✨
