    The beds were incredibly comfortable and I loved the little stairs that made it easy to climb up to the top bunk. the rooms had plenty of lockers for storage, which was convenient. the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. the location of the hostel was perfect, as it was close to the beach and other main attractions. the staff was friendly and accommodating, and they even held onto our luggage for an extended period while we went to Tayrona. A special shoutout to the lovely girl at the reception who was always so helpful and kind. Cons: Nothing 🙌.

    The location is fantastic, with close proximity to restaurants, squares, and even a grocery store. the rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, with individual lights and electricity plugs for each bed. the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.

    The noise from the bar can be intrusive, especially if your room is located nearby.

    the hostel had a laid-back atmosphere and a great shared space with a pool, perfect for meeting new people. the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. the value for money was excellent, and we appreciated the thoughtful design of the dormitories with individual drawers and shelves. The location in the historical district made it convenient for exploring the area, especially if you're interested in the Ciudad Perdida tours. Cons: Nothing to complain about at all.

    The beds at Aroha Villana were incredibly comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. The location was ideal, close to the beach and main attractions. The staff were friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to hold our luggage during our trip to Tayrona. The hostel had plenty of lockers in the rooms for added security, and the bathrooms were clean. Despite some noise from the street and the hostel's party atmosphere on weekends, our overall experience was positive. We also appreciated the little stairs that made accessing the top bunk easier. I'll recommend this hostel.

    I recently stayed at Aroha Villana and had a fantastic experience. The room was incredibly spacious and the WiFi was reliable, only dropping a couple of times during my three-day stay. The air conditioning was powerful and there were two great fans in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. I also enjoyed the pool, which was a great bonus. The location of the hotel was perfect, situated in the historical center close to all the bars and restaurants, yet on a quiet street.

    I highly recommend this hotel.

    The beds in this hostel were the best I've ever slept on! They were super comfy and had curtains for privacy. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city. Everything was within walking distance, including the beach and the historic center. Plus, they offered laundry service, which was so convenient.

    There were a few downsides to my stay. The check-in process was a bit disorganized and they didn't follow the necessary safety protocols.
