Hostal La Pijaraña

Staff was super friendly and helped us choose a coffee tour. We ordered breakfast for the first morning and asked for it to be ready at a certain time so we could leave early for sightseeing and it was perfectly on time. The site has a 'home feeling' with a lovely seating area with sofas and a tv, hammocks in the back and a nice garden. The area was very quiet even though the Hostal was only 2 blocks from the main plaza. We traveled with our dog and the staff was super friendly towards my pup who was nervous with the afternoon storm and who wasn't too fond of the cat that lives on the property. Overall, it's a very relaxing site right near the heart of Salento.

The Hostal cannot be reached by vehicle, which was fine for us with limited luggage, but some of my family members struggled a bit with the up and down on the hill. There also seemed to be an issue at Booking.com, indicating the rooms had a private bathroom, which wasn't the case. The information on the property after payment was correct and indicated a shared bathroom. For us this was fine, and the shower even had hot water! My family was less pleased with there not being a private bathroom.

The hostel is quite rustic, but clean. Good location close to the town square. The staff are friendly and hospitable, and will help with any questions and info you need for visiting places locally.

Not negative, but it’s advisable to check street view on google maps before you arrive, it’s down a small hill with steps/tyres. I arrived after dark and having checked street view out first it gave me reassurance that I was meant to be going down there.

Staff are super friendly and welcoming. The hot showers were fantastic! And it's a short 3 minute walk to the centre of town!

I thought the price was quite high for a very small room, and the bed was quite hard.

Wendy was a great host, making us feel home and always ready to help. The hostel is i the nature but very near the town square.

The room was very dark and not super clean.
