Colombia is a long kept secret amongst travelers who have come to the country for delicious food, rhythmical music and dance, breathtaking scenery and a rich culture. Explora Hostels looks to offer travelers a comfortable and clean place to stay while they enjoy and immerse themselves in Colombia’s untapped treasures.
Our hostel is located in the center of the Candelaria neighborhood, the historic district of Bogotá. This colonial neighborhood dates back to the 1500’s and the fountain located a block away from the hostel is where Bogotá was founded. The hostel is an old colonial house that has been restored so that it meets Explora Hostels standards: comfortable beds and clean bathrooms with good water pressure and hot showers. We limit the number of beds in a room to make sure everyone can get a good night’s sleep: we have 6 bed dorms, 4 bed dorms and private twin and double rooms. Our team has traveled throughout the world and knows what a good night’s sleep and a great shower can do for you!
While we think our facilities are fantastic, our staff is even better. We invite you to come stay in a hostel where every member of the front desk speaks English and can guide you on how to explore the best sites, museums and restaurants our city has to offer. It always helps to have a local give you tips on where to go and what to do so that you make the best of your trip. When you’re all done they’ll be waiting to serve you a refreshments in our lounge while you make friends with other travelers!
