I stayed in many types of hostels in different parts of Colombia and this hostel is by far my favorite. Something about the place makes you feel like you are staying with a family and Alegria treats like you are family. She advised me on the best things to see in Bogota and she also took me out with her... More

The hostel is my first choice in Bogota! It offers everything a traveller needs - but everything with that extra hearty touch that makes you feels like home while you stay there. Especially its owner, senorita Alegria, is not only one of the most beautiful girls round Bogota, but also such an exellent host that it is hard to leave... More

Alegria (the owner) receive you with warmth and advises you on everything you need and guide you with all the cool things in Bogotá. The house is beautiful and you can rest and wake up in the morning with a delicious breakfast. Nice place and excellent service. More

But this hostel is in an amazing... More

Our flight was seriously delayed reaching Bogota, and by the time we arrived at Alegrias Hostel it was 10pm at night. There was a wonderful welcome and we had a great double room. The staff and other travellers were very friendly. The weather was quite cold when we were there, but there were blankets on the bed and more in... More

We had a good experience staying in this hostel. The owner, Alegria is very warm and friendly. We happened to lose our room keys while we were here. We had to break the lock to get into the room and Alegria did not even charge us for the broken lock! How uncommonly kind! When we first arrived things did not... More

I loved my experience at this hostel. It's only a short walk to Bolivar Square and all the markets. There are also wonderful restaurants all around this hostel. Clean rooms. When I go back to Bogota, this is where I will stay. More

Lovely building, clean, comfortable, lots of communal space. Two friendly dogs, good showers, great location. The people working there did not speak English, but were very friendly and helpful. Just as we left we met Alegria, who does speak English and is super lovely, and incredibly knowledgeable about Colombia and other cities and hostels. We stayed in a private room... More
