Granada Hostel

I stayed at the Granada Hostel Bogota' from 31 Oct '24 until 07 Jan '25. I had a very comfortable and wonderful time in the eight person dorm. The front desk staff of Robin, Gio, Lisette, Emanuel, Sebastian and Eddie were all first class and most helpful. The restaurant staff of Nohely, Carol, Jason and Alana Sue were also first-rate with morning smiles, hot coffee and delicious food and drink for breakfast and dinner. The housekeeping staff; July, Maria 1, Maria 2, Santiago and Marilyn were wonderful at keeping the place looking and smelling fresh. I was there so long that they began to be like family to me and it was not easy to say goodbye. I want to thank them all for their kindness and hospitality. Good Luck to the team at the Granada Hostel Bogota'. Hasta luego!

After a 20-hour journey from Europe, we checked into the Granada Hostel for four nights - and are so grateful we chose this wonderful place. The location is prime and unique in the relatively safe neighbourhood of historic, beautiful Candelaria. It’s close to various attractions such as Place Bolivar, Cerro Montserrate, Plaza El Chorro, various museums and numerous great restaurants, bars and cafes. In fact, it is located in a quiet, peaceful area, just like the hostel itself. At Granada you will find a beautiful courtyard, comfty furnished corners for relaxing or working. They serve simple, tasty food but also offer a well-equipped cooking area to prepare meals yourself. Drinking water is available all day long, free of charge. 
The staff, from the reception to the kitchen to the cleaning team, are simply great, friendly, competent and patiently helping with any questions. Our double room had a large, comfortable king-size bed. Very important; The Granada Hostel offers hot water for showers, this is rare(!) and a relief, I assure you, especially in cooler temperatures in Bogota! The house offers dorms and private rooms and is in perfect condition (complete renovation/renewal during COVID)! Everything is very clean and well maintained. And good WiFi. What we really liked, at some point in the night the noise stops and there is peace - we sleeped wonderfully- except when uneducated disrespectful travellers arrived not knowing how to behave - what got sorted quickly. For/to airport transfer we recommend to book the transport with their “house driver”, Sig. Guillermo (fair price). All in all, an incredibly great experience - and as world nomads we know what we're talking about (traveling for years). We already reserved a room again for our return trip to Bogota and are looking much forward to seeing the Granada Team again. Granada Team, please keep that spirit, a real USP that differentiates you from the crowd out there.
