fantastic location just a 15-minute walk to the Peñol, friendly staff, beautiful view of the lake with a dock and free kayak!

It’s a great place. However there was loud party music until 5am. They really should do something to turn down music at 11

View! What a breathtaking view! Very calm hostel, not a party one at all. It's nice to just wake up and have breakfast in the patio enjoying the lake view. You can go for a swim or rent the kayak.

They only have one shower for all.
It was very beautiful. A unique picturesque view and you even have excess to the water. I could have spent weeks there. Oh and check out the "Cafe sin p" in Guatapé. They have self made pastry like cinnamon rolls (they were still warm when we got them) and very good organic coffee 😍

Galieria is in a beautiful setting in the perfect location just outside town. It’s close to the rock and just by the water, I could never get bored of that view. I loved being able to swim and laze around on the jetty. The hostel is super relaxed and full of good vibes. Quiet and peaceful, I loved it.

The shower in my dorm room dripped, wasting water and having always a dripping noise. I am an older traveler and felt out of place in this young crowd. I had the fruit and granola for breakfast and it wasn’t very good. Only apples and bananas for the fruit, and the granola was only as grain. No raisins, or much variety. Poor breakfast. The mattress was too soft.
I loved the view. It was a clean hostel, the manager worked hard keeping it tip top.

There is only 1 shower and 2 toilets for everyone, so this can be a bit tricky at times:)
The location of this hostel is great; away from the city and in the peace and quiet to enjoy the nature, just what you come to guatape for. You can walk to the rock from here! You can even rent a kayak to enjoy the nature some more. The view from the hostel is absolutely stunning!!!

The rooms need a little modernising but I hear that is planned soon.
The location is amazing, by the lake outside of the town and right by the rock. The views from the property are spectacular. The staff are great and always ready to lend a hand. You can rent a kayak and paddle around the lake, which I highly recommend. You can easily spend 2, 3 or more nights here.

Everything! Find the place was so easy. The hostel is magic because the view. The stuff was helpful. The bedroom OMG, it was comfortable and clean. I think was the first place that I find simple but perfect. It is to close to the "piedra". I highly recommend it if you go to Guatapé. Btw if you go to the center you must take a bus where you going to spend around 5-9 minutes, by Walk it could be 30 minutes.

Just one bathroom with shower for many people (toilet inside, but there was also a separate one).
Friendly staff, delicious breakfast and the view is amazing :) they even organized a party for us at día de las velitas. Really enjoyed it! Getting to the city center is no problem because many Jeeps and buses pass by at the nearby main street.

The view from this hostel is amazing! It is located next to Piedra del Penol and it has direct access to the lake for swimming and kayaking. The place is clean and quiet, and the staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast is also excellent. I booked one night but I ended up staying five. I am sure I will go there again. I highly recommend this hostel. Great value for the money.
