“Breakfast and dinner here are tasty and well-priced, and the kitchen comes in handy. The beds are snug with soft duvets, while bunks have curtains and reading lights. Reception staff are friendly and quick to help, bathrooms stay spotless, and the hot showers are a real treat after a day out. Location is hard to beat, with a great vegetarian place just a few doors down.”

“I'd stayed at another hostel in Bogota before, but Granada blew it away. Rooms were great and beds comfortable, and the owners really went out of their way to make the stay special.”

“Excellent value — the beds are super comfy, bedding is proper, and privacy curtains mean a solid night's sleep. Alfredo and his team were professional, around 24/7, and arranged good tours. The social vibe was nice, and it felt like a real community.”

“Some of the best rooms I had anywhere in Colombia. The owners are incredibly friendly and helpful, always checking that you're looked after. The atmosphere is chilled and the location couldn't be better. It actually beat my earlier stay in Bogota during carnival.”
