Pirañita Hostel

Clean space, great staff, relaxed atmosphere. Staff speak English and a wonderful breakfast is included. The hotel provides a laundry service, is very knowledgeable about the area and things to do and are able to organize tours and boat tickets for you. It's in a good location, has a smoking balcony and a common area. The downside is the kitchen is locked from 11pm to 9am everyday.

That was a very nice experience! Especially thanks to Juan, he made us feeling comfortable, for him we would give 6 points!! Quite new hostel in a good location on the main street but it’s not too loud. They have air con in the rooms (8bed dorm as well), free water in glass bottles which can be refilled on the big tank and kept in the fridge for everyone, nice common area, well equipped kitchen (good sponge and towels to dry dishes, they just thought about everything). Nice breakfast with fruits, egg and great self-made coffee included! They offer laundry service reasonably priced. Wifi in this region not the fastest, but not necessary because of the great vibe! If you have time ask Juan for the beer challenge, it’s a lot of fun and you can unite the people easily! During our 4 nights we could meet a lot of nice people and we had a very memorable time also because of the familiar atmosphere! Highly recommended, good value for money! Muchas gracias Juan, eres el mejor! Somos muy agradecidos por esta muy buena experiencia! Mucha suerta con su lindo hostal, ustedes lo hacen muy bien!

I loved this Hostel. It had great staff that where more like friends and family than staff, great rooms, a great location and full sized kitchen. Juanita the local who runs it was absolutely amazing. She is a local who found me when I stepped out of the airport. Juanita was honest. She arranged all my tours at a good price. She helped me make friends. She gave me a great price on the hostel. She visited with me throughout the stay to make sure everything was going well. And she took me on a couple tours herself. This is the only place that I will be staying in the future when I visit Leticia.

I stayed in another hostel here in Leticia and found this one just passing by. As the owner, Jose, was super friendly and welcoming I took a look at the place. |Its central,on a main street, so easy to go wherever here in Leticia. Its nicely decorated and especially the private rooms look super nice. The whole hostel is super new and very clean. There is a big common are with a comfy couch and huge Tv to watch movies with other travelers. ||Unfortunately they just speak little English but in order to give information about tours they have some friends helping out so just ask them. Their tour to Mocagua sounds super nice and as I have been there just with another tour agency I can highly recommend to visit that place.

It was the only hostel at an affordable price that I could find for two with aircon on booking.com. It was clean, close to everything you need in Leticia, and they suggest you plans according to your budget and interest which made my weekend in Leticia as I was not sure about what I could find in there. It included the breakfast and people who managed the hostel, David and Juan, were friendly. The blackout curtain in the room we were, by the stairs, can be improved, but light is not a problem all night, it works with movement sensor. All in all, highly reccomended.

Pirañita has comfortable rooms and social areas like the cafeteria. But the best of the hostel is the tours they offer which are really good and not that expensive. The hotel has as good WiFi as you can get in town and people always willing to guide you on your time here. Also, is really good located: near to good restaurants, bars, the park and very safe at all times.

Decent place, bathrooms have cold water only. The rooms are made up of a mix of random bed sheets and pillow cases. They do not have 24 hour reception and I feel they are more concerned with partying after they lock the doors. The good part is the have one of the best tour guides I could have asked for. Jorge, speaks porteguese, Spanish, and English very well and has experience in the jungle. They are overall very nice and receptive and the price is decent for a night. You can get 15 percent off one night if you drink 6 beers in 3 different countries in one hour. I did finish the challenge and it marked a high point on my trip.

I had the privilege of spending a couple of weeks with Juan and Juanita at the Piranita Hostel. Honestly, I can't say enough about the place and the people you meet there. It's clean, laid-back and the people are so helpful. I have lived in Colombia for 10 years, so I know what's up in this country....you trust no one, but here at Piranita, they trust you. They have a kitchen with fridge and oven where you can cook up a mean feed, though I must admit I was mostly too lazy to cook for myself. They give you eggs and fruit for breakfast, and there's always coffee on hand.||I've been travelling and staying in hostels since the early '80s and I would say the Piranita is one of the best ever - not because it's new, nor the best facilities on earth, bit because they are friendly, honest and relaxed. Plus, it's in the Amazon...say no more. Suffice to say, I highly recommend the Piranita, message me if you want more info.||p.s. this is no bs and they're not paying me, I just loved it and can't wait to go back.
