Amazing location and comfort

Amazing stay, 2 mins from los patios and Viajero, however much cheaper and more comfortable. Best of both - can socialise easily at the hostels and have the comfort of a private room with ensuite.

Okay for a hostel. One thing I didn’t like is the noise in the hallway. A lot of people were screaming/talking loudly at 6 am. Also the bed comforter is non existent it’s just a very thin sheet. Staff was really nice tho. It’s a typical hostel.

El lugar está ubicado en una zona tranquila y segura, hay pocos restaurantes alrededor, pero de buena calidad. Casi no hay ruido por las noches ya que está lejos de la zona nocturna y pasan pocos vehículos. Las habitaciones son espaciosas y con aire acondicionado, son cómodas.

Colombia 2025

Es un hostal cómodo en cada habitación hay 2 o 3 camas las cuales son bastante cómodas. El personal de la mesa de servicio están 24 horas. Son muy amables y te resuelven bastante rápido. Tienen 2 tipos de desayuno uno americano y otro colombiano ambos ricos por 5 dólares. Mi única crítica es q es un poco ruidoso pero si no te molesta es excelente en su ubicación y tienes muchos lugares para comer súper cerca. Lo recomiendo

Incómodo cuando se realizó la reserva se habían solicitado dos camas queens y cuando llegó al destino el cuarto era pequeño con una cama full y una twins. Estoy indisgustada por que colocan fotos engañosas y mala publicidad para que uno caiga. No den lo que demuestran. No estoy satisfecha.
