    The noise from the bar downstairs can be quite loud and annoying, especially when you just arrived and want to have a good night sleep. However it’s a hostel, so I guess you should expect that ..

    Great location on 11th street with a lot of sights in walking distance. Room was big and comfortable and the staff really friendly & helpful

    Noisy… with external noise and internal noise, you can hear everything that is happening in the bedroom next to you

    Very nice design, beautiful place at the center of La Candelaria, conveniently located near major tourist sites of Bogota.

    The walls and ceiling/floor were thin, causing high sound levels in our room from sound sources in the bar and kitchen

    The place looks authentic, where a good job was done to create an old fashioned style.

    We stayed in a couple different rooms, and you never really get what the images pretend to offer. Booking the standard room, we got quite a dark room with a tiny window, unlike the photos promised us. I would recommend booking the more expensive deluxe rooms as they are better kept and more alike what you see online.

    The communal areas are great! Very kind staff and the food is great as well. The area isn’t that safe at night (as is all of Bogota) so we were very glad that we we able to hang out in the cosy atmosphere of Selina.

    We had a deluxe room in the front of the hotel and were worried about noise from the bar( despite asking to be as far away as possible to the bar we were put in a room right above it!) but this was not a problem as it closed at 10pm but we were kept awake with building work until 3am and the church bells started at 0630 - neither are the hotels fault but if you want an undisturbed sleep I’d suggest asking for a room at the back of the hotel

    Great ambience, regular yoga classes and location

    The building is old and therefore noisy. Some people were very loud in the very early morning when leaving or calling, we know this is a hostel but it would be nice if there would be a policy to respect a little bit quiet hours when possible .

    Great location and service, the building is very pretty as described in other reviews. It is a bit more expensive than other hostels but the service covers it. You receive a welcome cocktail the night of arrival and we had a problem with electricity in our room so we were offered breakfast for free. The staff recommends you places and tells you where and how to go to be safe at night.

    My room was so cold at night. Blankets are thin but they’ll happily give you another one at the reception if you ask.

    Amazing location, within walking distance of everything. Great bar and restaurant on site. Lots of communal areas and spaces to do your own thing too. Staff were super friendly.
