Très bon rapport qualité prix ! Sanitaires propres et avec de l’eau chaude.
Jacuzzi et cour intérieure trop mignonne !
Le gros + de l’hostel ce sont les Supers conseils pour les activités sportives du coin : pour chaque activité, ils proposent la meilleure agence de San Gil.

We had a really nice stay at the Macondo hostel. The facilities are really good and the kitchen is well equipped. The rooms and the bathroom were super clean. In the dorm they have a fan and the temperature is really good during the night. But the real highlight of the hostel is the stuff that is super friendly and helpful. They know a lot about the area and give you a lot of advice. We could even leave or bags in the luggage room for a couple of days.

The staff is excellent and they organise the activities for you at reasonable prices while also making it easy to join up to activities that others in the hostel are doing.
If you have the chance to speak to Shaun about what to do in the area, he can really make the difference for your trip! Highly recommend this hostel

Can’t praise this place enough as it’s exactly what a hostel should be!
The rooms are basic but have everything, very clean all around, great amenities including kitchen and beautiful chill out spot.
The biggest highlight is the staff and I have to commend how great each one was! Everyone was very helpful with information about the area and took a real interest in everyone who stayed, I think everyone remembered my name straight away and checked in which is a great feeling when you’re staying somewhere!
A great spot for travellers looking a to make the most of San Gil! I really enjoyed the paragliding offered through the hostel too, and appreciate the advice about activities and the safety around them provided too!
Thanks guys!

Stayed in the dorm, pretty basic hostel, felt too crowded overall. The workers were very nice and they offer tours but you can find that anywhere in San Gil

The staff at San Gil are extremely knowledgeable about everything there is to do in and around the area. They know everything from the bus timetables to the opening hours of various activities and are always available to organise any activities you would like to do while in San Gil. We ended up extending our stay here because we had such an enjoyable time. On top of this, the owner of the hostel, Shaun, went above and beyond for us, helping us to reschedule our bus and even dropping us at the bus stop. This hostel has a great atmosphere that caters for everyone, and they are willing to go the extra mile for their guests. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

San Gil was such an experience. the stuff is super friendly and they have lots of adventurous activities to enjoy. I loved my private room and could tell that the dorms were quiet and clean. it's visited by lots of cool people which is helpful when traveling solo.

Das Hostel liegt super nah am Stadtzentrum. Das beste am ganzen Hostel ist die nette, lustige und aufmerksame Crew, die einen ab Tag eins beim Namen kennt. Super Tipps zu Aktivitäten, kennen sich super aus und haben Spaß an ihrer Arbeit!
Ich würde auf jeden Fall nochmal herkommen!

Incontournable à San Gil. Ambiance backpacker très conviviale grâce à l'immense patio équipé d'un jacuzzi et de hamacs. Le propriétaire australien organise tous les jours des sorties parapente, rafting, vtt, spéléo...

The tours they sell are well selected, I did rafting and it was professional. Prices are fair not much higher or the same as booking with the tour operators.
