Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This is probably one of the best hostels I've ever been to! The staff and the manager are just amazing. I had an issue with my bus to Bucaramanga and they went the extra mile to help me. It's huge, with a good pool, a lot of space to do yoga, be alone, and/or social. Super clean, very comfortable

    Everything! The staff and owner are super friendly and helpful. All activities you can book with them. Hostel provide lockers for your valuables. Nice common area with hammocks. Great location- 2 mins walk from main square. I cannot say anything bad. Probably best option to stay in San Gil.

    This was one of my best Hostel experiences in 6 weeks of traveling in Colombia. Jane and Felipe go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your stay. I felt very welcome from the beginning. Their dogs are super sweet, too. Food is delicious. 100% recommend this place! :)

    This is the perfect spot for a trip to San Gil. So central, right beside a great restaurant - Grigos. The staff are super helpful with tours. The hostel itself is spotless, a cosy feel to it and very spacious and safe. We had a very good fan in our room. Best hostel on our South American trip so far!

    The owners are great hosts and will support with all questions. They will also support you to book your adventures with local companies, much cheaper than with tripadvisor and co. Great location, city center and bus terminal (20 Min.) in walking distance. Fair price. Clean hostel, great breakfast

    Amazing staff, Viviana, Wiltor and Diego were all really nice and helpful with organising activities and just in general. The activities organised through the hostel were with companies that had good safety standards so worth the money. The hostel is in a great location, is clean and great value for money. The amenities are really good and they organise events in the evenings which is great to get to know people, one of our favourite hostels in Columbia.

    One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed in. Staff so friendly and help you arrange all of your activities / give you tips including for restaurants…make sure you try Gringo Mikes! Hostel is located in a really safe area and very close to the centre. Hostel is super clean and our private room was very comfortable. Very friendly and social vibe. Overall love this place and very sad to be leaving and wish we could stay longer!

    I strongly recommend this place to every backpacker. It's a very social hostel, with great common areas, very welcoming and confortable. Rosalba and Daniela will directly make you feel at home and are always there to help you with any question you might have. I liked this place so much that I came back for another night after spending a few days more in the north of Santander. Thanks Rosalba and Daniela for your warm welcoming and for making me feel at home ! Definitively one of the best hostel I've been to !
