Friends of the staff were hanging out in the bar one day and it felt like it was a closed party in the middle of the common area

Charming place with a good atmosphere and a beautiful view from the rooftop. Breakfast was fine. Staff was helpful whenever we asked. The location is just perfect.

It's quite scary to use the ladder to climb down from the upper beds

Botanico is such a cool and social hostel! The staff is super kind, the food is amazing, the activities are cool and the beds are very comfortable. There are enough bathrooms such that there is no waiting.

The rooms are quite basic and bathroom super small.

Perfect place to spend the first days in Colombia. Super nice staff being very helpful with tipps. Some evenings dinner is served and breakfast on the rooftop terrace is great for the small price. Sometimes music is played but never too late.

It was a bit cold everywhere and I was freezing a little at night despite the warm blanket the hostel offers so bring warm clothes!

Very nice laid back social hostel with amazing community spaces

As the hostel is in an old building there isn't much soundproofing so if you're not into your music until 12pm then maybe this isn't for you. Music is an integral part of Colombian society and it is everywhere! The private room was pretty basic but that's what we paid for.

We had a great stay at Botanico Hostel. It was our first time in Bogota and this was a good base to explore the city; excellent food and drink options, sightseeing options on your doorstep (make sure you check out the walking tour, graffiti tour and cycling tour!), good location from the airport and onwards travel. The staff were really friendly and helpful with all of our questions! The staff had plenty of advice for local tours, where to explore and where not to explore, and all There was a well stocked bar and cool tunes. Breakfast was available at a reasonable cost on the roof terrace. The hostel itself is in a beautiful old building only a 5 minute walk to the sights of La Candelaria.

Some of the doors on the bathrooms can get stuck so check them before going in, although pretty funny when you have to shout someone to rescue you - a good ice breaker I guess!!

Loved it here, really sociable communal areas. The beds are clean and comfy. They put activities on each day, some free, some for a small fee e.g Yoga. Amrit who took the yoga class was such a lovely teacher, I enjoyed the two mornings very much xx Free tea and coffee. Lots of info about tours you can do. Deffo do the graffiti tour with capital x

Bedrooms and social spaces were a little chilly.

Extremely welcoming hostel, easy to meet other travellers in the cosy social spaces. Friendly staff, especially bar woman - lots of free shots of homemade infused alcohol. Comfortable private beds with curtains. Perfect place to begin my trip in Colombia.

Very nice atmosphere, super friendly people and our private room was really nice (we even had a small private garden)!

The wifi is really bad, especially in the rooms. Also there is no connection because it is higher in the area, I had things to do for my study, that’s the thing that sucked. But if you don’t have any of that stuff to do, it’s the best place to be!

It’s the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed at. The staff is so sweet, Estefania really made me feel at home. I spent my birthday here and couldn’t wish for a better place. The beds are really comfortable, everything is clean. The women from breakfast are also the best! They are really sweet and serve the best breakfast, in the morning you can sit on the terrace, with beautiful views over the city and the mountains. It’s a very social space. Already thinking of going back here, and recommend it to many people. Also the best aguardiente ;)

Wifi was iffy so it is not good for if you need to work.

It is very pleasing! Multiple areas to relax if you want to or close to many touristy attractions if you want to leave.
