Masaya hostel has a great location. I like how close it is to the community and college. Just a good place to stay when traveling.

I like the breakfast, staff, location, bed comfort, social atmosphere, ease of discovering activities. Staff very responsive to needs.

There are events all week hosted by the hostel and lots of travelers and people from the neighborhood attend. The staff is super helpful in setting up great tours. It was easy to meet people. The dorm rooms are well equipped with blinds for each bed, plugs, lights, and lockers (bring your own lock). The hostel is nestled into a great historic neighborhood with narrow streets and colonial style buildings. The common areas are comfortable and nice.

Josephine

The ambiance is amazing. Staff is super nice, friendly and helpful. The hotel food is quite good and serves until late. Breakfast is vast. Beds and rooms are great. There's always something going on in the hostel with lots of people. Incredibly social hostel. Very well located. Excellent decoration and vibe. Sinks are perfect to fill up your bottle.

The amazing environment and service provided by this place is a great value for your money. The atmosphere is very chill and relaxing. It feels secure and well maintained and the food is also really good and affordable. The location is perfect for travellers wanting to explore the highlight areas of Bogotá.

The breakfast is great, they have buffet but a bit pricey. It's served until 11AM, but if you arrive after 10AM the chance of getting any type of egg is low to none. The location is the best. close to restaurant, a plaza where the free tour meet up. The tour from breaking the boarder is a must and an uplifting experience. It's all about community building and giving back to the community by helping reduce gang violence and provide rehab to those in need. The group from the "no go zone" organized themselves and transformed their neighborhood by expressing their story through art and graffiti. I loved it and I took 100+ pictures. There is meaning behind every art so is behind their invisible neighborhood.

being waken up at 7am by work on the roof... The beds, esp bottom ones, have so few space, you have to slide yourself in. It felt like sleeping in a sarcophagus. And the mattress is the worst I had in my all trip in Colombia. Supposed to be a social place but there were no atmosphere.
Seems a clean place enough. Location is great.

“Doesn't live up to its potential”

- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
3) I emailed the hostel 2 weeks before arrival to book 4 different tours with them. They replied to me and said that all of my tours were reserved and I could pay on arrival. So when I arrived, I tried to confirm all of my tour bookings, and that's when I found out that nothing had been reserved yet, and the front desk staff were completely uninformed about the tours that they offer and unable to help me. I was told 3 times to come back later to talk to the next person that would be coming in for their work shift, and every time I was given contradictory information or no help at all. In the end I ended up booking all of my own tours online or through whatsapp. To say that they offer tour desk services is misleading and beyond frustrating! The staff didn't even know what what happening in their own hostel later that night, never mind anything else offered in the city. 4) They claim to have 24hr front desk service, but while yes there was a staff member on site, he was no where to be found when you needed him! After dark you need the front desk to buzz open the door for you going both in and out of the hostel. And there are organized party bus tours on Friday and Saturday night every single week, so you would think they should know that people will be coming back in the middle of the night and need you to open the door for them. Well I returned at 3am and had to stand outside by myself banging on the door and yelling through the key hole for at least 5 mins to try to get his attention to let me in. I can only assume he was sleeping somewhere in the back. And it happened on another occasion where someone was trying to get in around 11pm, and we could hear him knocking from the lounge, but we couldn't open the door for him, so we had to run around the hostel searching for the staff guy to open the door for the guy standing outside. Unacceptable!
Great location. Nice rooms and decor. Hot water. Reliable wifi. I feel like this hostel has great potential, but fell flat in many areas. 1) Even though I paid for breakfast the day before (which was overpriced), when I arrived at 9am (well before closing), there was only 1 cold, disgusting pancake left, I had to scrape the bottom of the bowl for some syrup, the eggs were gone, and the fruit that had been picked over so there were only a few pieces left. Not impressed! 2) The activities board on the wall in the lounge listed a different social event at the hostel every night, but the staff did very little to actually facilitate it, so half of the time it didn't happen, people weren't having fun, so they went elsewhere and we never ended up getting to meet or socialize with others from the hostel. For example, on Games Night, there were a small group of people who gathered at the start time, but none of us knew how to play the traditional Colombian frog game and there was no one there from the staff to teach us. And if there were card/board games available, we didn't know where to find them, so Games Night was non-exisitent.

Location is great, close to major attractions. Breakfast was good, as it was definitely vegan friendly with lots of fruits! Very satisfied with my stay, the only issue I had was with the shower. When I arrived late at night, there was no hot water, and then there was a sudden temperature change in water as I showered. Otherwise, great place!

The bed was very old but I think they had also new rooms. The bed was so old it had a shape of people stuck in it. The front door we’re bit annoying because they close the door you always have to ring the bell.
It’s actually very nice place and very good breakfast but you need to pay. But so worth it! Probably the best breakfast we had in Colombia.

You have to pay 5000 for a towel. Not the most social vibe in my opinion. Felt like the common areas all being really cold kept people from hanging out much. Having to go out the door up and down some stairs into the main building to use the toilet is a pain. You'll be charged a commission to have the hostel help book a bus, which is pretty standard practice.
Privacy shades on all the dorm beds HUGE plus and generally comfy beds. The breakfast is also solid. Don't order any of the other food.. but breakfast is good value and all you can eat, although the food was usually VERY cold by the time the open at 7:30 for guests. Staff is helpful and friendly and the facility is super cute and very conveniently located. Pretty happy with this choice.
