O hotel deixa a desejar! Em partícular o quarto no. 1 é péssimo, sem janela, com cheiro de mofo. Ressalvo a excepcional boa vontade e atenção da recepcionista, muito amável e delicada. Infelizmente não gravei seu nome.

La ubicación de este hostal es buenísima, Pero es lo único bueno que tiene, la habitación que nos dieron tenía un fuerte olor a humedad además no tenía ventana , aunque la habitación no estaba sucia, estaba mal mantenida , El techo ya no es de madera marrón o natural ahora el techo es blanco aunque se ve mal acabado y las paredes están pintadas con cuidado el baño es muy pequeño y la ducha no se ve limpia, lo que muestran las fotos no es lo que es en realidad. No volveré a este hotel

The best part about this hostel was the location. The rooms look cool, but there are several things that could be improved.
- About a week before we were due to check in, we were charged the first night's stay. In the fine print of our reservation, it states that we would be charged for the first night's stay if we cancelled after a certain date, but it doesn't say that you will pre-emptively be charged this amount on that day. When we saw this charge we grew worried that our reservation hadn't gone through.
- The wifi doesn't really work in the rooms (or at least it didn't in our room).
- The room smelled very strongly of mothballs.
- There is a club right across the street so if you are in one of the rooms that face the street be aware that the music will be blasting until 3 or 4 in the morning.

Our saty was good, We are disapointed because they charge us the 19% IVA that is only for Colombia nationals and we show them our US passports. Also the hotel did not have hot water in the shower. The hotel is very good located, very clean and service is good.

Unser Zimmer hat uns sehr gut gefallen, besonders auch die Hängematte. Auch die Dachterrasse haben wir genossen. Das Hotelpersonal war sehr hilfsbereit. Morgens konnte man Kaffee und Cracker mit Marmelade bekommen. Am Wochenende hat nachts zum Teil die laute Musik in der Nachbarschaft gestört, aber ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden.

I loved this place, it was charming, the room was large and the location could not be better if you want to be in the old city. Nice people. Breakfast not included and no hot water, but you really do not need it as the weather is so hot.

Very good location.
They didn't have credit card payment option, this is awful because you have to go to the atm and pay the stay.

Es buen y cómodo Hotel, muy bien ambientando y ubicado en excelente zona; sin embargo lastimosa y tal vez coincidencia, el personal nocturno se quedó dormido y dejó a huéspedes por fuera mucho tiempo.

O endereço deve ser ajustado no site do Hotéis.com uma vez que no centro, as ruas possuem nomes e só são identificadas por isso. O nome da rua desse hostel é Ricaurte. O hostel é ótimo, a equipe é atenciosa e prestativa, a localização é ótima.
