It has a nice terrace and seating area with tv. Wifi is good. It is located right in center of town overlooking park with gorgeous view. There are grocery stores and restaurants nearby. It is a five minute walk from the busstation. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. The kitchen is nice and has free koffie in the morning. The hostal also has a pool and sauna area. The bathrooms are very clean. This is the most comfortable hostel I’ve stayed at.

O staff foi excelente, sempre prontos a ajudar. Um agradecimento especial ao staff do turno da manhã e da tarde (não me recordo dos vossos nomes desculpem). Disponibilizam toalhas e tem serviço de lavandaria. Há café, mas não há água potável. A meu ver deviam comprar um filtro. O ambiente é muito agradável, tem piscina e sauna. Tudo sempre muito limpo e arrumado. Nos dormitórios as camas deveriam ter umas cortinas para garantir mais privacidade.

very nice staffstaff, very helpful for any questions and can make it work even if you dont speak much spanish. dorms arent the best but only for sleeping and the other common areas make up for this. kitchen is well equipped although the fridges arent the best. good tour information and help with planning and busses. i would stay here again if i went back

Hostel was fine but there was no atmosphere or whatsoever. A dead zone on newyears eve. Left after a night, also because our room was on the street side and the music from outside never stopped.

The best next to mine hadn’t been cleaned the whole time I was there even though there was no one sleeping there. Had a dirty towel on it the whole time

Très bon accueil dans cet hostel sur la place centrale ! Bien sécurisée aussi ! On a pu faire différentes excursions proposé par l’hôtel comme le parapente par exemple. Très à l’écoute ! Merci pour ces 2 nuits !

I stayed at Sam’s VIP hostel for 1 night and decided to extend it because everyone was so friendly and there’s so much to do in San Gil!! Sam himself is extremely kind and helpful along with his receptionists. The recommended all kinds of activities and even booked me a moto taxi when I was in a rush. The hostel itself is huge and has beautiful views of both the city and the mountains from the pool. It also has a great classical guitar that I played every night. I can’t recommend here eno...

Lovely little hostel. Very friendly staff and a fantastic location right in the main square. Staff are lovely however they don’t speak much English. The pool on the back terrace is lovely after a long day. I’d recommend staying here for sure

Das Hostel liegt direkt am Hauptplatz. Das ist einerseits positiv, aber man sollte wissen dass in San Gil ein schrecklicher Verkehr herrscht. Deshalb kann es frühmorgens bereits recht laut werden. Andererseits liegt das Hotel bestimmt im schönsten Teil San Gils. Von den Einrichtungen her, hat es alles was man so benötigt.

Estuve muy satisfecho con mi estancia en este hostal. Por muy poco dinero, se puede pasar un tiempo excelente. El personal fue muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. En especial Amanda, quien fue muy simpática y siempre estuvo disponible para ayudarme cuando lo necesitaba. ¡Muy recomendable!
