La Sucursal Hostel

I had an amazing time here! The volunteers were really nice. Daily salsa classes and other activities. The rooms were quite hot, no windows and only a fan.

Pros - plenty of travellers, very social, shared ammenities, offers social events, fan in bed, average part of of Cali, helpful receptionist. Cons - no hot water, toilets and showers unclean and smelt bad, 6 bed dorm has side curtains, but you only have a 10cm wall with the person adjacent (meaning you just need to look up and you can see them, pretty much one long single bed with a slight elevation in the middle), a lot of bugs inside, doors aren’t locked or mainly kept open, nowhere to really relax and be quiet besides your bed, toilet doors don’t close at all or don’t lock, toilet doors are the size of 60cm in the middle so you can always see someone else knees down or your legs exposed, generally bathrooms and showers smelt bad and unsanitary. Generally everything seems Oke from 2-5 metres away, but as you get closer, you realise it’s all dirty and about to fall apart. Booked for 5 nights but checked out after 1 night. Checked out early and owner/manager was super defensive about it all, and I can see reviews about the same issues from last year and with replies of it being rectified….it hasn’t.

It was sooo nice staying in the sucursal hostel! The location is amazing, clean and big rooms, but the best aspect is the staff! Especially Martina and Stan working at the bar on the roof terrace are such lovely people. They made the best cocktails and just made me feel at home. fue una chimba 🧡🧡🧡 gracias por todo!

Great place with heaps of activities. I personally prefer being placed outside of the gringo neighbourhoods but it’s nice and safe, can’t complain. Volunteers and staff are all amazing, shoutout to Ben Stickley for great name, home city and vibes

I had a phenomenal first hostel experience, rating it a perfect 10/10. Every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The hostel itself was exceptionally well-managed, with a keen attention to detail in both cleanliness and organization. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly, making it easy to meet fellow travelers and create lasting memories. Overall, this experience set a high standard for what a hostel should be, and I would eagerly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch place to stay.

I had my own room with a private bathroom. There was no AC, but they provided a fan, which was sufficient for the three nights I stayed. Throughout the day, there were some community activities, allowing me to meet fellow travelers. It was easy to mingle, and everyone welcomed me with open arms. The service was exceptional, and the location was in a tourist-friendly part of town, within walking distance of major tourist sites. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend it!

Lovely hostel in a great location! Lots of restaurants near by. The hostel is very lively with different activities to do each day. They always have a free group salsa class each night. Great view from the top floor. They have a fully stocked kitchen that you can use to cook your own food which is nice. The private salsa class lessons with Leilyn are fantastic! The staff in general are wonderful shout out to Natalia, thanks for being amazing! Additionally, it was very fun to go out partying with everyone at the hostel.

Such a fantastic hostel and place to stay! The free salsa group classes were so good and the volunteers and staff really made me feel at home, so I kept extending my stay. Daniel the bartender was lovely and had lots of suggestions on what do in the city. Will definitely come back to this hostel!
