Customer Reviews Bogota - Hostel Fatima

| We got a room above the kitchen.
It was like sleeping in a frying pan!
No towels no hot water.
One of the worst hostels I've been at. | ||

| The hostel is somewhat noisy as the floors are wooden and all rooms facde the courtyard where a lot of activity occurs. | ||

| Kitchen facilities were limited for a HI-Hostel. Smoking in the covered courtyards meant there were few smoke free spaces to sit or eat in as a non-smoker. We had been told to only smoke in the garden so it was a shame that no other guests seemed to bother with the rules. Great location, helpful and enthusiastic staff and plenty of activities makes it a good place to stay especially if you want to party. | ||

| The hostel is very nice and has free wifi and computers to use. Lots and lots of places to sit and relax. Hammocks are in the enclosed and covered courtyard with tables to eat at. The only things to note are what others have said in their comments...the way the building is built it you can hear every sound at night -- people walking down the hall sounds like someone playing the drums. You can hear every word people say in the courtyard from a far distance. So getting to sleep or staying asleep in the morning can be difficult. Also the shower is hot only if you use a very small amount of water. Other than that the hostel is great.Lovely new little kitten as of May 2012! Note: You need Colombian Pesos and not US Dollars in Columbia. Change your money at the airport. | ||
