The house
inside, feels like home
Dark wooden beams, an alcove painted moss green, wicker lamps that pattern the walls, a terrace with a painted jaguar and paraglider. A boutique hostel run by a young Colombian team, one block from the square.
01 · The rooms
Wicker, wood and a bed you'll be grateful for.
The photos the hostel posted of its private rooms say most of it: warm light, beams, a rattan mirror, robes and rolled towels, a bathroom with a hot shower. They're representative: each category has its own photos in the booking engine.

04 · The vibe
Social by day, peaceful at night.
The hostel calls itself “young, social and boutique-style, without being a party hostel”. There's a house plan most evenings and, per its Booking.com house rules, quiet hours from 22:00 to 07:00.

Reviews keep saying the same thing: a warm team that knows San Gil and helps you plan. We don't show names or faces we haven't been given permission to use.
“El personal es muy cálido, amable y servicial. Te dan muchas opciones para conocer San Gil y alrededores.”The staff are very warm, kind and helpful. They give you lots of options for exploring San Gil and around. (our translation)
“Centrally located but peaceful at night.”
05 · The view
The cathedral at blue hour.
One of the hostel's story highlights shows the cathedral towers against the sunset. The photo is a few years old and soft; the cathedral is still one block away.
