This place is amazing. Decor is on point, amenities are good, space distribution is really nice. Loved their breakfast menu. There are so many options and the staff is happy to accommodate. Everyone was very helpful and friendly during my stay. Bring earplugs. The city may get noisy at night. Coworking space not included for hostel guests.

The reason I chose to stay at Selina was their coworking space. I am not opposed to having to pay to access a space with premium internet and good amenities. What I have an issue with is having to pay the same price, when you are a guest of Selina. There are no incentives to stay at Selina solely based on coworking access. I could stay somewhere else and, if I chose to, work from Selina, which defeats the entire experience

We booked a small room with a shared bathroom however were upgraded on arrival to a standard room with en-suite - the room was huge, tastefully decorated, had loads of wardrobe space and a flat-screen smart TV with netflix/amazon prime etc. The bed was large and very comfortable. The shower was hot and powerful and had shampoo/conditioner/shower gel provided. The hostel itself had lots of activities each day available to join (we didn't end up doing any), a bar and restaurant with tasty food and drink, a shop with nice crafts and souvenirs and really friendly staff (they helped me practice my Spanish!). I like the touch of having a free welcome drink on the day you check in as well. For us it was the perfect base to explore Bogota - the transmilenio bus stop is close by and it's only a 15-20 min walk to trendy restaurant and bar/cafe areas in Zona Rosa/T/G (we felt perfectly safe walking between the hostel and these areas in daylight).

One significant drawback is the noise - we were in a private room on the top floor but we could easily hear anything going on on the lower floors at night (especially at weekends, the music is loud until late). The walls are also very thin so you can hear people in the hallways and adjacent rooms very easily (again, both late at night and very early in the morning) and doors slamming. If you are a light sleeper and want to get plenty of sleep, this is perhaps not a good option... The only other downside to the room was the lack of ventilation as there were no windows.

Overall, a very nice Selina. Quality and spacious private room with comfortable bed. Also had a refrigerator to keep drinks cold. The Common areas were nice with good general food available to order. Very friendly staff. And good location.

The Coffee Pot in the common kitchen had No actual coffee pot, had to use a cup instead, that's not acceptable! And a small coffee pot in the private room would have been nice as is common in most other hostels/hotels.

Loved the yoga studio that was mostly empty. There is a movie room and a small library, very cool. Also the cafeteria and kitchen are super nice. In general a lot of style and beautiful design and the staff is so friendly and helpful.

Our room was tiny with no window so there was no air at all. The place is big, feels like a hotel and not very social. There was something going on almost every night so there was a lot of noise until late. I like better the small homey hostels than the big commercial ones.

I loved here! Felt welcomed as soon as I stepped my foot in. The staff was SO cool and they helped me several times during my stay - even if just for some chit chat. The hostel itself had a marvelous structure, from the reception to the co working spaces, and I doubt any other hostel in Bogota could beat that. But the room, OH THE ROOM - best one I ever had at any hostel all around the world > spacious, comfy and so well designed. The location felt safe and was close to Zona Rosa - it was pretty walk able. I'd definitely stay here!

Being a Selina hostel, it is more geared towards digital nomads rather than old school backpackers, so it lacked some social atmosphere - on the other hand, the staff was very social so it wasn't a huge deal breaker. Not a lot of touristic things around the area so I'd split my stay in Bogota in two: you have to sleep at least one night in Candelária!

Chapinero is a great neighbourhood- a few blocks and you are right there. Price for dorm bed is ok

Not clean, staff not involved, lots of other guests (locals, long term stay, co-working) reception has NO information about nothing (ie local public transport, getting around in Columbia), no real backpackers‘ vibes

The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The hostel is extremely clean inside and I really liked the studio flat I had. They designed activities and spaces where people could socialise if they wanted to, but equally you could have your own space. It had a relaxed vibe to it. It also felt safe and well connected. I would highly recommend it and gladly stay there again.

Nothing.

The check-in process was fast and Daniela the receptionist was really kind. The place is nice. A variety of activities happening in the common areas. The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet. We didn't get to enjoy that much as we only stayed the night but I would definitely come back.

Everything was good. Nothing to complain about. Our stay was short and all of the services we used were good enough. Thanks, Selina!

The private room here is sooo spacious. I have stayed at a lot of Selina's and this room was the most spacious and had beautiful windows with lots of lights. I liked how there was a desk in the room as I am a digital Nomad. Internet for digital nomads was fantastic. If you don't want to work in your room, there is a cute coffee shop and cow working space downstairs. The location was also super close walking distance to Zona T with tons of amazing restaurants and lots of great shopping to do.

The staff wasn't the most helpful compared to other Selina's. For example, I asked them for a recommendation of a restaurant and they simply told me they didn't know. I thought that they could have at least guided me to 1-2 places they like or recommend.

The property is great, welcoming, well set up and well managed by the staff. The rooms are clean with nice bathrooms and quiet at night.

The location was not the safest for a solo female traveller. Staying at La Candelaria would mean less need for taxis / walking in unsafe areas. It’s also very close to Caracas which is not a safe road for foreigners to walk along.
