It's unfortunate that it is right in the middle of downtown and it's pretty sketchy at night, but if you're careful not to go out alone it's probably fine. I was traveling alone and went to look for dinner, NO restaurants open in the area at 8 pm, and a lot of drug users around the area, so that's a shame

Great hostel, good breakfast, very comfortable, super helpful staff, huge open areas, game room, projector for Netflix streaming, really wonderful, highly recommended!

Clean, well organized and run. Central to old Manizales everything you need is an easy walk including the sky tram from the bus station.

I do not usually stay at hostels, so it took me a little while to adjust to the fact of how barebone the room was: not enough furniture to unpack, no closet, etc. However, the beauty of the common space and the spaciousness more than compensated for it. I would stay there again.

A beautiful space, large rooms, great breakfast, friendly staff, excellent location.

Very clean, and great common area with perfect kitchen, lots of bathroom space

Stayed in February 2024

Bathroom was at the other end of the hallway so a bit of a walk. The bunkbed moved when you turned around.

Good location in the centre. The room was spacious with big lockers. Bed was comfortabel. Bathroom was clean.

Dorm is next to a big street, so bring ear plugs.

Very well located in the centre, easy walk from the cable station and some sights. Staff is nice and helpful, they also have a tour agency if needed. Very good and hot showers. Easy to meet other travellers: they have a game room, movie room and a common room. Adequate breakfast included in the price. Situated in a historic building. Beer and water sold with an honesty jar, so they actually show they trust the guests.

In the morning the doorbell didn't function and I couldn't find the WhatsApp number to contact. Even though it was not the check-in time, during the feria time would have been good to let the luggage there. During the Feria time, the noise from the street is occasionally high, so maybe the hostel could provide earplugs for those who are staying in the dorms with the windows facing to the street. Also arepas could be served those who cannot eat bread.

The Hostel is exceptionally clean and interiors are very colourful. The common facilities are great and location very central.

Pefectly located, comfy and clean room, friendly staff.

Dorms have windows to the busy street, quite noisy during the night. The hostel offers tours to the Páramos and Los nevados, but only if there are enough people to join. So if you’re unlucky you bave to organize the tour on your own, wich can be difficult.

Good hostal facilities, rooms were spacious, beds comfortable, nice common areas including roof top terrace. Tasty breakfast included, all day free coffee. Staff was very helpful, specially when i forgot something they tried everything to send it back to me with other travelers. Located close to the cathedral, quite far from the restaurant/bar area.

In that street and surroundings there are no option for good food. One must go to Çhipre' if you want to have a nice dinner like Mexican, or pizza or some other good fast food, or something else. I always write this in reviews: There has to be an option for fruit juice at breakfast. And, it indeed was there. Nice juice for breakfast. Not sure, why another reviewer mentioned the non-availability of juice in his review. Now, I am wondering also , what would happen if a vegetarian person arrives at the facility, as they without even asking just provided us a 'French toast' with bread/egg layer and veggies. It was for sure very good for us. But what about a person who is 'pure vegetarian'. Just noticed. Nothing to worry for me though. So please inform first :-)

I have not words to explain it. Everything from start to finish was damn super good. From entrance it doesn't seems that huge up above on top. They have almost everything inside the property, if you want to spend time in the property itself. They have made sure that visitors can enjoy right inside , if they want to. Pool Game facility, PlayStation and what not. Common areas are spacious and comfy with lots of facilities and the owner's passion for details and to take care of every type of person is clearly visible. So, close to the the cable gondola station with a very short taxi ride. It is also at a walking distance from a huge main church. Its actually centro area of the the city and is very lively all day and evening. And, lastly the price for the stay is unmatched. Wonderful.

That my stay was only two nights.

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. :)

Located at the bottom of a hill. Be prepared to get your exercise. Breakfast was fine but it would have been nice to see fruits and juices on the menu

Friendly staff. Owner Fernando went out of his way to ensure a pleasant visit.

The bed is huge, but a little hard.

Alvaro's super friendly and extensive help with booking a rental car, a tour to the mountains and other good suggestions for exploring Manizales. Friendly other hosts and personel who live in the hostel.  Open space and atmosphere, which makes it easy to connect. Nice free perks like: all day coffee and tea, cinema room, billiard, game tv. Good location in downtown Manizales. 10-15 min walk from the bus station cable car.

The bathrooms are far from the dormitories (not a big deal, but just an FYI)

The hostel is quite big and clean. The breakfast is good. The rooms are spacious. When I stayed there there was just another guy other than me and they nicely put us in separate rooms.

The city center is frenetic. But it’s a quiet oasis upstairs.

I feel safe in this hostel. It is my third time in five years staying here.

The keys to the dorms were a bit of a challenge to unlock doors

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 !
