This was a really mixed bag for us as our stay started badly and then got slightly better (once we'd had words with the owner) but we struggled to find any decent hostels in Manizales (we were there to hike into the national park). Good points: spacious rooms, main owner is friendly and helpful with trips. Bad points: we had... More

We had the misfortune to stay here for one night of the booked three night stay late December.

A hot tub was also there, but again this... More

The Pit Stop is close to the mall, heaps of bars and restaurants.

It’s a great place to meet other travellers as well as locals. It is... More

I had a great time at this hostel. They have a hugely popular bar on site and a jacuzzi. Staff and location are excellent.
