El lugar está impecable en limpieza orden y administración
La zona es muy segura de día y de noche dentro del barrio es muy segura porque hay personal militar dado que se encuentran todas las dependencias del gobierno. Pero salir de noche de allí es muy peligroso si se sale caminando solamente en coche de alquiler
Locatia foarte buna, pentru multe obiective distanta poate fi parcursa pe jos. Sunt cafenele sir restaurante bune in apropiere, zona este destul de sigura.
Am fost cazati in 2 perioade diferite, in prima perioada camera a fost foarte mica (15 mp) abia puteam merge intre pat si perete. In a doua perioada pentru ca aveau camere libere, ne-au oferit o camera mai mare (20 mp) fara vreun cost suplimentar si a fost spatioasa. Lenjeria este foarte curata, la fel si camera. Spatiul exterior ar putea fi amenajat mai bine si mai placut, dar este important ca sunt si mese in aer liber. Mancarea pregatita la hostel este buna, iar preturile rezonabile. As mai reveni, per total atmosfera este placuta si relaxanta.
L’emplacement est top, les chambres sont propres. La déco est sympa. Le personnel donc volontiers des conseils à la demande.
Eu amei tudo. Atendimento excelente!!!! Fui muito bem recebido …
Eu gostei de tudo!!!

El hostel está ubicado muy cerca a la plaza principal de Bogotá, tuve un problema la primera noche, aparentemente hubo chinches, pero me dieron solución al día siguiente, dentro de todo creo que justifica la calidad precio
Struttura centrale pulita e accogliente al centro della candelaria. Raccomandato
La habitación perfecta en relación calidad-precio, el servicio de la recepción es de 24h y el restaurante ofrecía una buena gama de productos con un amplio horario. Las zonas comunes eran muy buenas. Recomendable 100%
We loved the location, it was a short walk to experience so much of what Bogota had to offer.
The polished floors in the hallway meant it was quite loud and echoes. They do ask guests to be quiet after 10pm but even if you tip toe, it's quite loud.
Tolle Lage in Candelaria, das Hostel ist wie ein kleines Labyrinth mit vielen Treppen und versteckten Gängen - man braucht 1,2 Tage um sich zurecht zu finden. 24/7 Rezeption mit vielen weiteren Services (Druckservice etc, SIM-Karten-Verkauf und weitere wichtige Travel Gadgets). Ich hatte einen tollen Dorm mit Blick auf die Straße, schön groß und geräumig mit raumeigener Dusche und Toilette. Betten sind bequem, es gibt Vorhänge. Es gibt viele Gemeinschaftsräume zum Entspannen und Co-Worken (gutes WiFi), die Küche ist top ausgestattet. Eine große Terrasse im Hinterhof lädt zum Essen, Rauchen und Connecten ein.
Leider keine richtigen Ablagemöglichkeiten bei den Betten, Frühstück etwas wenig für den Preis, aber lecker.
Tout était super, adaptabilité et gentillesse
Super impecable. El personal muy amable, nos permitió guardar el equipaje para disfrutar el día en la ciudad hasta la hora de nuestro vuelo y nos brindó la posibilidad de hacer tiempo en uno de los rinconcitos hermosos y cómodos del hostel.
En la habitación sería bueno contar con alguna silla para quienes duermen en las camas de arriba.
Ideal location. Easy walking distance to sights shops and restaurants. Clean. Could get food late when I arrived
Room was right next to the restaurant/bar. The bathroom window looked out in to it. It was high up and unable to be opened which made the bathroom damp smelling. There was loud music blaring until at least 22:30 even if the bar was quiet then the staff would sit loudly having conversations from around 0600. The room also opened out in to the shared work space so had people talking loudly there too. When I arrived the 2 women at the reception had mean girl energy and weren’t welcoming at all. The bar restaurant staff were nicer.
Goede ligging, vriendelijk en goed personeel, vooral het meisje van het ontbijt en het meisje die 's avonds de bar open hield. Extra dank aan de laatste die lekkere thee voor mij maakte toen ik mijn stem compleet kwijt was! Ook was er een aangename rustige sfeer. Misschien vanachter buiten op terras wat lawaaierig maar daar kon je binnen helemaal niks van horen dus ook de indeling is heel goed gedaan!
Eigenlijk niks, alles heel prima verzorgd. Overtrof mijn verwachtingen omdat het toch uiteindelijk maar een hostel was.
El personal es muy cercano y nos atendieron muy bien!
Buon ostello in generale. La mia camera era piccolina ma pulitissima. Buona colazione e staff gentile e disponibile :)
Il letto era super morbido e non comodissimo per me. Insonorizzazione inesistente.
Location
Bed squeak noisy with poor condition, linen not clean, & some staffs unkind
Comfortable bed with curtain and power. Bathrooms were ok, plenty of communal space. Good location and staff were helpful, they let me checkout 30 minutes later so i could sort out some stuff before, which is always appreciated. Generally a comfortable stay.
The room was VERY cramped, barely room for people to pass one another and nowhere to really store big backpacks. The bunks are also quite high and there is no handles to help you climb up. If you are in any way less able bodied, ask for a bottom one at booking! Bathrooms were clean and tidy enough but the sinks were a bit hard to use if more than one person was using it, and there only seemed to be one central bathroom to use for the dorms so it could be a long walk. Kitchen did have everything you needed, but it was a bit worn out and not much space considering the size of the hostel.
Bonito, muito bem localizado no centro de Bogotá. Equipe muito simpática e acessível, comida gostosa.
A única sugestão é colocar um blackout na parte de cima da janela, pois a iluminação de fora entra no quarto.
Central location in La Candelaria Clean hotel Friendly helpful staff Communal areas for chilling Good shower
No shower gel or shampoo Private room was very small No maid service so bin did not get emptied for days
Gemütlicher Innenhof, in dem das a la Carte Frühstück serviert wird. Große Dusche und bequeme Betten im Privatzimmer. Personal spricht Englisch.
Zimmer war relativ hellhörig, Fenster nicht nach draußen, sondern nur zum Flur (ausgehend vom Schlafzimmer) und zum Gemeinschaftsraum (ausgehend vom Bad)
Excelente localização e disposição para ajudar da equipe de atendimento.
El personal y la ubicación
Everything was great. Friendly staff that were able to accommodate our requests. English speaking which helped alot as we speak very little Spanish. Always staff around cleaning. Super affordable. Thanks for a great stay.
No tomamos desayuno pq volávamos muy temprano. Ubicación excelente. Muy céntrico. Todo muy cercano
Nada
Le lieu est très bien aménagé, bien placé.
La chambre était vraiment petite
Equipe gentil e muito disponível. Café da manhã agradável com opções disponíveis a escolher. É possível guardar a bagagem no locker antes de depois do checkin.
Internet razoavel no quarto parece não comportar adequadamente a quantidade de usuários. Dificuldade de subir nos andares superiores do beliche porque nao tem onde apoiar as mãos para subir as escadas.
L’emplacement
Bruyant
Excellent location close to Plaza de Bolivar, Gold Museum and a short walk to the Monserrate climb. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good with different options. Good social areas and happy hour in the bar too!
The bed was a tad lumpy and some of the toilets and shower areas were on the small side compared to other hostels
Un lugar súper cómodo! La gente respetuosa y amable, la cocina bien equipada para poder cocinar y ahorrar dinero. Luci la mejor sin dudas, su comida super rica, ella muy muy amable 💖
Nada
Die Lage ist super, Personal sehr freundlich!
Unser Zimmer war zum Innenhof raus. Es wurde bis spät in die Nacht laute Musik gespielt. Und keine Rücksicht genommen. Das war sehr schade, da uns sonst alles gut gefallen hat.
Es muy práctico. Está muy bien situado, es silencioso y tiene un buen desayuno
Las almohadas son un poco incómodas
Muito limpo. Tem tudo. Bem funcional. Cama bem confortável, firme. Não tem erro.
Pra ser melhor só se a área de trabalho fosse mais quentinha, igual o quarto.
My 2nd stay in 3 week trip in Columbia. Staff is very professional and friendly, location great in la candelaria, very clean safe and quiet. Water and hot water, bed, bathroom all great. Can pay w CC which is a plus.
Both stays the dresser drawers were dirty, I asked to have cleaned 1st time and didn't bother 2nd time. A bit pricy 2nd stay but included a Sat night.
Great location, good facilities, friendly and helpful 24/7 staff
Lo que más me gustó del hostel fue su excelente ubicación, ya que prácticamente puedes llegar caminando a todos los lugares de interés. Además, el servicio fue muy bueno: todas las personas fueron muy amables, siempre estuvieron dispuestas a ayudarte y me dieron muy buenas recomendaciones e indicaciones durante mi estadía. Sin duda, la atención del personal y la ubicación son dos de sus mayores puntos a favor.
Lo que menos me gustó fue la habitación. Si bien yo elegí una habitación compartida de ocho camas, sentí que el espacio era demasiado reducido para la cantidad de personas. Las camas estaban muy juntas, tanto entre ellas como con las de enfrente, y el pasillo central era muy estrecho, al punto de que prácticamente solo podía pasar una persona a la vez. Debido a lo reducido del espacio, la habitación tampoco tenía una buena ventilación y se concentraban fácilmente los olores de los huéspedes, lo que en algunos momentos resultó bastante desagradable. También me hospedé durante dos noches y durante ese tiempo no hubo ningún cambio de sábanas ni limpieza o arreglo de la cama. Entiendo que al quedarse más de una noche podría esperarse al menos un pequeño servicio de limpieza o mantenimiento de la habitación. Por otro lado, me pareció incómodo que los baños para hombres estuvieran en el primer piso, mientras que la habitación estaba en el segundo. Esto significaba tener que bajar para utilizar el baño y luego regresar, y en mi caso, debido al frío, no era muy cómodo salir del baño únicamente con una toalla. En general, considero que estos aspectos podrían mejorar bastante la experiencia de los huéspedes, especialmente en lo relacionado con el espacio, la ventilación y la comodidad de las habitaciones compartidas.
O hostel é lindo e possui uma localização perfeita, dando para fazer tudo a pé. Os funcionários são muito educados e a comida do bar é deliciosa. O quarto é friozinho, então mesmo que não haja ar-condicionado, é algo super irrelevante.
Os preços do bar são superfaturados e não há atividades de interação para conhecer outras pessoas, o que faz viajantes solos, como eu, viverem a experiência um pouco mais solitária.
Le personnel à l'écoute, très souriant sympathique et super arrangeant. L'ambiance
Il faudrait des toilettes séparées des salles de bain, car il n'y en a que 2 pour plusieurs dortoirs et des casiers
Great breakfast and kind staff.
Our room was very noisy because it was right next it the common area.

Gehorigheid
La struttura è in un ottima posizione per chi vuole visitare la Candelaria a Bogotà, tutta la zona è comodamente visitabile a piedi, ci siamo tornati dopo un brevissimo soggiorno qualche settimana prima. La nostra stanza era nuova e pulita (abbiamo chiesto di cambiarla perché quella che ci era stata assegnata affacciava su una zona comune e hanno accettato senza problemi), il letto era grande e comodissimo, la doccia aveva l'acqua calda, cosa non scontata. È stato possibile lasciare i bagagli dopo il check-out e ci hanno perfino permesso di usare la cucina e la doccia prima di riprendere l'aereo in tarda serata! La cucina in comune è molto spaziosa e ben fornita (le pentole forse potrebbero essere rinnovate😅)veniva pulita quotidianamente ogni mattina, per il resto della giornata la pulizia dipende dagli altri ospiti! Abbiamo conosciuto alt* viaggiat*, l'ostello è il luogo ideale per conoscere persone e scambiare due chiacchiere nelle aree comuni. C'è un servizio di lavanderia ma non ne abbiamo usufruito.
Très bel hôtel, très bien placé. Le personnel est très accueillant. Rapport qualité prix exceptionnel, nous recommandons cet établissement.
Great staff, location, security, quiet, bathroom, hot water.
Dresser drawers dirty as well as desktop. I asked cleaning woman who cleaned it quickly
Very friendly staff who were very helpful Excellent to have a kitchen, I really liked that.
We had a private room, which was very clean and the bed was comfy. If anything, the room was small and quite noisy as other rooms are close by, but it's a hostel.
Avec mon fils âgé de 13 ans, nous avons apprécié la disponibilité du personnel, la configuration des lieux, l’emplacement, le billard et le patio extérieur. Tout en fait 🤗
Le petit-déjeuner pourrait être un peu plus copieux..
La amabilidad de como nos atendieron.
Limpeza, organização e localização.
Nada.
Fantastic location!! Short walk to lots of attractions and places of interest in La Candelaria. The hostel was clean, the staff were really kind and helpful and the beds were super comfortable.
Tout est super !!! Bien situé, belle déco, sécurisé, hyper clean, pleins d’espaces détente donc on ne se marche pas dessus, jardin, bar pour Pdj et petite restauration Lit en dortoir équipé avec prise + lampe + rideaux Personnel super sympa et de bon conseil Ne pas hésiter à y aller !!!
Rien
Sehr freundliches Personal, leckeres Frühstück mit verschiedenen Optionen und die super Lage in Candelaria!
Unser Zimmer lag leider neben dem Zimmer mit den Waschmaschinen. Am ersten Tag wollten wir noch unseren Jetlag ausschlafen. Nachmittags war es ziemlich laut. Sonst war das Hostel sozial, aber spät abends auch ruhig.
Staff, good value, breakfast is an extra 19k but medium-large.size.
Location is bad! It's very far / 15 min walk from any TransMilenio bus station, so it adds up quickly if you want to go anywhere apart from the historical center (Botanical garden, bus terminal to go to nearby attractions). Also no taxis around in the morning, and Uber did not find a ride in 10 minutes. I'd recommend to book something near the center, but also 1-3 minutes walking from TransMilenio station. Needs a bit of repair too: socket in the bed is too far from the ground, requires long cord; toilet door didn't close, most of chairs in the kitchen sits are broken, can rip your clothes.
