The View Hostel & Lounge, hotel in Cali

The View Hostel & Lounge features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Cali.

The View is a very special place. It has definitely been my favourite hostel in recent months. This was mainly due to the wonderful people who make you feel at home. You get the feeling of being part of the family, of being integrated and getting to know each other, but also of being able to retreat and relax in complete peace and quiet by the pool or on the beautiful roof terrace with a view over Cali. The food is prepared with a lot of love and is excellent. There are also all kinds of spa facilities and even a small gym. I worked online, the internet was great and there were plenty of opportunities to work in peace. The kitchen is also perfectly equipped (there's even an airfryer!). The Parque de los Perros is just a few minutes away and offers many opportunities to go out and eat delicious food. Topa Tolondra is also only a few minutes away by taxi. I also highly recommend the salsa lessons with Miguel! He is an incredible dancer and I learnt a lot! I was always happy and the staff cares a lot about everyone. I was warmly welcomed and got to know wonderful people, for which I am very grateful! I would highly recommend the stay to anyone and am already looking forward to my next visit to Cali, which I will spend in the View without hesitation! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

La SOSTA, hotel in Cali

La SOSTA is situated in Yumbo, 9 km from La Ermita Church and 9.3 km from Saint's Peter Cathedral. The property has a bar, as well as a restaurant serving local cuisine.

Despite its modest facilities, La SOSTA's strength lies in its staff Danny and Mama made it worth my stay. They ensured that all concerns were addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner. The home made breakfast and dinner was very tasty, authentic and filling.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Loved having my own personal space with a kitchen. The price was nearly as cheap as a bed in a hostel dormitory. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place which feels like your own. San Antonio is a good area with many salsa studios around

    I spent two nights in a 4 bed female dormitory. It was clean and spacious. The fan worked well. The hostel has many floors with different areas to chill and good internet connection. There were many other travelers to hangout with and make activities together. The neighborhood is calm, friendly and nearby there are some local cheap “menús del día”. The bus stop for MIO it’s also very near.

    This hostel was one of my favourites so far in South America, Monica and Pedro were so friendly and helpful and made me feel completely at home. The hostel has various shares spaces including a roof terrace so it's good for meeting people of just relaxing by yourself or whatever you feel like. The location is great too, it's in a quiet and safe neighbourhood (although you always need to take care in Cali), about a 5 minute walk from lots of places to eat and drink and about a 10 or 15 mins walk from San Antonio.

    Very safe area, great location to walk everywhere and close to restaurants. Hostel was very cool, with nice murals and decoration, holding private dance classes in their lobby / dance space. Staff was excellent, very friendly helping you with anything you need. Stylish restaurant above the hostel and, of course, comfortable rooms with fan.

    La clave hostel is all about Monica the host. She is the best host I have met in my backpackers life. Always smiling, helpful, and available at all time even in the night to open the door to party people. She prepare a very good breakfast till 12 and she is a shining beautiful heart. The hostel is also very nice with nice rooftop, kitchen it’s very clean and in a very safe and good neighbourhood. You have to go there just meet monica and enjoy a beer on the rooftop.

    Very friendly and professional stuff, very clean (the rooms got cleaned every day), good and cheap breakfast, they offer free salsa lessons and night activities, but it's not a party hostel. The atmosphere was always very chilled. For us, it was the best hostel we stayed so far during our trip in Colombia.

    Very social hostel with great staff who encourage guests to join in activities. Long happy hour at the bar. Privacy curtains on the beds are a plus. Great location in what felt like a safe area. Good quality food served but decent size kitchen to cook for yourself. Nice, clean pool.
