The Experience

You will be involved in general front-desk activities: check-in/out of guests etc. Our hostel is unique in the sense that their space combined the first architectural style of the neighborhood with a contemporany offer, bringing the present together with the past of the history of Bogota. It's located in one of the most strategical spots in the city, this because all the offer is surround the property or is pretty close.

My time at the hostel was what made me want to extend my stay in Colombia. After spending 3 weeks there, I felt like the team was a family. If you are a solo traveler, this is the place to be in Bogotá, because you will feel welcome and you will meet the kindest people. Juan was a great boss, the tasks were clear and the rules were respected. This was my first solo trip to another country, and from the time I arrived to the time I left, I never felt scared or in need of company, because the people that came and went were always outgoing and kind. Great great experience.

I felt like home and I had plenty of time to visit Bogotá and meet amazing people in the hostel. I would recommend and repeat :)
