The ladys running the place are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Both me and my girlfriend were unwell while visiting and they were helpful with allowing a Dr to come and visit. they seem to have a good contact for tours, we did not use in the end due to illness.

Very good location, decent breakfast included, wery good AV and wifi, friendly and helpfull english speaking staff. Shared fridge and water fountain.

The hosts are really nice, the location is very good, nice breakfast is worth the extra pay (of 12,000 COP).

The staff was amazing! They helped practice Spanish with me and were very friendly.

Everything is basically ok - but don't book room number 6! It's tiny, MINUSCULE, just the space for one bed - and you can hardly squeeze through the narrow door into the bathroom. But otherwise: all's fine! Nice friendly staff! :)

Very confomy bed and it had about 6 pillows which I love!

The staff was very kind and willing to give advice and help. Location is good. The atmosphere is charming. I liked the balcony with a nice view on old city streets.

ladies who run this joint are lovely and proactive. theyll go the extra mile for you.

Everything was amazing, especially the staff. Yuli reached out to me immediately after I made the booking to give me all of the details I needed. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: - HOT water!!! (Especially useful after going to Totumo Volcano) - Great breakfast + coffee - Location!

The whole place has a/c which is great in 30C heat. We had a twin room but got upgraded to the balcony room for the second night. The staff is extremely accommodating and the brekky was very filling. We had coffee, fruits, eggs and toasts. The shower has hot water which was a surprise. And the views from the balcony are superb, specially in the morning with the sun shinning on the old building. It's smacked right in the middle of the old town, with many cool eateries around. We would definitely come back
