The location was in a very nice, upscale neighbourhood. It took a little bit longer for taxis to come than would have happened elsewhere, but I used a taxi app and it was not a problem. The reception will call a taxi for you if you don't have such an app. Everyone was beyond helpful and kind. Jason and Raul were at reception and the owners were at the hotel most of the time I was there. They did a great job of making me feel at home. There were more facilities than I could possibly have used in my short weekend visit - a pool, a spa, salsa lessons, at least two bars, and a co-working space with fast internet. ASlso laundry and a kitchen, everything well-equipped.

This was a wonderful hostel where I met some beautiful people. We hung out, ate together, watched movies, and went out dancing in the streets and on a party bus! A perfect ending to my time in Colombia. Also, free daily salsa classes

This place is amazing! Located in a great cozy nneighbourhood with all restaurants and bar close by, but the place is very quiet, comfortable and clean. I loved the fact that it has outside space to hang out. The staff and owners are super friendly and helpful. This place is high recommanded. Thank you Maria & Isabel for my great stay.

Really friendly and available staff. Room big enough, with a fun but it was quiet warm.. it was quiet clean, the entire place was quiet clean. The kitchen is not super furnished and it's fault of people leaving everything around and dirty. Some showers has hot water and others no but good water pressure! Good location, close to restaurants, bars but away from the noise. Bus stop are 2 blocks away, you have little shops around too, you can walk easily to the city center if you want, San Antonio etc.. in general it was a quiet place! There is a great terrace on top with another kitchen. Locker available in the room for small bags.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Loved having my own personal space with a kitchen. The price was nearly as cheap as a bed in a hostel dormitory. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a place which feels like your own. San Antonio is a good area with many salsa studios around

    I spent two nights in a 4 bed female dormitory. It was clean and spacious. The fan worked well. The hostel has many floors with different areas to chill and good internet connection. There were many other travelers to hangout with and make activities together. The neighborhood is calm, friendly and nearby there are some local cheap “menús del día”. The bus stop for MIO it’s also very near.

    This hostel was one of my favourites so far in South America, Monica and Pedro were so friendly and helpful and made me feel completely at home. The hostel has various shares spaces including a roof terrace so it's good for meeting people of just relaxing by yourself or whatever you feel like. The location is great too, it's in a quiet and safe neighbourhood (although you always need to take care in Cali), about a 5 minute walk from lots of places to eat and drink and about a 10 or 15 mins walk from San Antonio.

    Very safe area, great location to walk everywhere and close to restaurants. Hostel was very cool, with nice murals and decoration, holding private dance classes in their lobby / dance space. Staff was excellent, very friendly helping you with anything you need. Stylish restaurant above the hostel and, of course, comfortable rooms with fan.

    La clave hostel is all about Monica the host. She is the best host I have met in my backpackers life. Always smiling, helpful, and available at all time even in the night to open the door to party people. She prepare a very good breakfast till 12 and she is a shining beautiful heart. The hostel is also very nice with nice rooftop, kitchen it’s very clean and in a very safe and good neighbourhood. You have to go there just meet monica and enjoy a beer on the rooftop.

    Very friendly and professional stuff, very clean (the rooms got cleaned every day), good and cheap breakfast, they offer free salsa lessons and night activities, but it's not a party hostel. The atmosphere was always very chilled. For us, it was the best hostel we stayed so far during our trip in Colombia.
