after being to different hostels in downtown bogota, i found this one to have that HOME feel to it. everything about the place brings about relaxation and an overall chill vibe. its pretty much close by or a short cab ride away from any and all kind of night life in the city. best thing about the place i found... more

clean friendly place, you find everything you need. Located in candelaria, it is close to all tourist spots. But for me, the most important point that made this hostel one of the best on my journey is the spirit of its owner, Alegria! she is the best colombian person, helps you with everything and cures with her smile and love... more

Alegria's hostel is such a friendly and lovely place to stay, it is by far the best hostel I have stayed in in South America!! It is clean, homely and great value for money, Alegria is lovely and will give you the best stay of your life. more

I would recommend this hostel for backpackers who are looking for a good deal. This hostel doesn't have a ton of amenities though the staff is excellent, the price is good and there is plenty of room.

Me and my 3 friends stayed here back in July, and it is definitely the best around...being so new, it is clean, bright and spacious - with enthusiastic staff to make your stay easy, relaxing and enjoyable. Being a well-renovated property right in the heart of 'la Candleria' area, you get a truly authentic colombian experience, whilst being in the... more

This place was great, the owner is a hipster Colombian girl and she brings good vibes to the place. Lots of cool international kids having funky late nite discussions. There is coffee and DIY breakfast- basically eggs and bread and you use the kitchen and make the magic happen. We already miss Alegria the owner. NOTE:: AVOID Platypus Guest house,... more
