Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    I stayed here for the purpose of birdwatching a reserve called Hacienda El Bosque. The central location of the hostel made pick up and drop off easy. It's a short walk from the center of Manizales and the cable cars, restaurants, etc. The price is pretty much unbeatable for a single room.

    This is really a superb hotel/hostal, one of the very best I've stayed in during my 4 month backpacker adventure. Super clean, great staff, Netflix on a projector in a very comfortable space, a really excellent price. Manizales is clean and safe with lots to do, too. Highly recommended in every way.

    I think this hostel was the best hostel I've ever stayed at! The staff is supernice and helpful, the common areas are extremely spacious, comfy and welcoming. The room was also amazing. The beds are 1,20m wide, there is a locker for every bed and every room is assigned to one bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped and breakfast is included and super delicious!! I'm actually trying to find a reason to go back to Manizales so I can stay in this hostel again. :)

    Absolutely lovely hostel, plenty of space in the dorms and lots of facilities to socialise such as a projection and pool table. The kitchen was probably the most organised I have ever seen, making it really easy to cook in. And Great location and easy to get around. Met some lovely other travellers and the hostel were really helpful to get us the experience of los nevados park that we all wanted. I would highly encourage anyone to stay at this hostel !

    Great family run hostel. Clean, cheap, good location and friendly staff & owners. Bar upstairs is cheap with great views. The capsules themselves are snug, cool and come with a TV with internet Bluetooth. Your belongings are far safer than a normal hostel, and u get a bit of privacy. Thank you, guys, I love this idea. It's the future of backpacking👏👏
