Hostal R10

I didn't spend much time at the hostel, but one thing that stood out was the staff. Always very attentive, helpful and friendly. Everything is well cleaned and the beds are comfy. Some rooms facing the streets may be subject to noise in the mornings and whenever nightlife is happening (Friday/Saturday). I found there wasn't much of an atmosphere around the hostel even though there are many communal areas (TV room, rooftop terrace, dining room, ...) - maybe because the furniture isn't very inviting as it seems to have been acquired randomly and definitely has seen better days.

Everything was perfect !!! The staff the people I met the location the price. The only thing wrong was a week is not long enough in Bogota

not good,not recommend.

Good place for a short stay

I booked a private room for my final night In Colombia after a month of travelling, it was terrible (and I have been staying in hostels for a decade!) Had my booking been for any longer than a night I would have left and gone somewhere else. -my room was at the back of the hostel by the bar. the music was so loud I may as well have slept in the bar, no exaggeration. yes, I did have ear plugs and yes I’m used to usual hostel noise but this was a whole other level! the music was super loud and the door to my room had holes in so the sound just came through. -the music went on til 12.15 and then people chatting for a further hour or so - this is despite the hostel having signs saying that quiet time is from 11. -at around 1.30 an alarm went off for ages (so much so I got up and went downstairs thinking it was a fire alarm) and then it continued to bleep every 40 seconds (I counted) for the rest of the night -I asked to move room and for the music to be turned down but neither happened -there was also building work going on at the back of the hostel so from 8am (on a saturday) there was construction noises too. my stay could have been perfectly adequate had they not given me that room as accommodation, it was unfit for purpose. then there were other annoyances which would have otherwise been tolerable in isolation but just made my stay worse -multiple toilets out of toilet paper, on more than one occasion - I had to ask more than once for paper -hot water didn’t work in the bathrooms at the back of the building -it was a cold room (though I was able to ask for a blanket) -staff members weren’t helpful with regards to questions like finding the nearest supermarket -had to wait 30 mins for check in -rock hard mattress with barely there pillow i’m sure most people there have a good time but I really didn’t enjoy it and there’s enough hostels in Bogota for me to never stay at R10 again. On hearing of my bad experiences they did offer free breakfast in the morning but I had to leave for a walking tour/wasn’t worth it The only pros were: Wifi was good Location is great for downtown

The staff at this hostel are friendly and helpful. It is a charming old building in a good location near museums and other sites. I extended my stay and plan to stay again.
