Traveler Hostel has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in San Gil. Built in 2017, the property is within 42 km of Chicamocha National Park and 42 km of Chicamocha Water Park. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. This hostel surprised us! We are used to many different hostels, and this one was one of the best we have stayed in. There were many different types of common areas and gardens, even though its in the middle of town. A great shared kitchen, and comfortable rooms and hot showers. You could choose to be social or not. The staff was extremely kind - shout out Louis! The location was great for exploring San Gil, and for close walking distance to grocery stores, the local bus terminal that takes you to Barichara, etc. And surprisingly, the breakfast (which does cost extra) looks and tastes as good as it looks in the photos (which is unusual haha).

The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Really enjoyed my stay here. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. The building is an old home that has been converted into rooms and has a nice feel. The kitchen is good and there js a refrigerator that you can use. The location is good, Lulu the dog is very cute, and I would happily stay here again. There are activities for those who want to join in (football, tejo, salsa, etc.) in collaboration with other hostels if you want to meet people but stay at a more relaxed environment. The breakfast is good and the restaurant is also open for lunch and dinner.

Loved how much they help with tours and everything you need. The hostel has such a great vibe aswell if you want to just relax and chill. I would recommend staying here to everyone I tell about going to san gil. All the workers are amazing and go above and beyond. They have little free experiences aswell like tejo, Spanish lessons and football. It honestly is the best place we stayed extra nights because we loved it that much. San gil is the nicest place and this hostel accomodate you in every way possible. The owner is amazing aswell. I needed help with medication and he came to help translate everything. Can’t express on how great this place is

Palonegro International Airport is 120 km from the property. Our favorite hotel from our colombian trip: beautiful spacious room with a private balcony, comfy bed, hammacs to chill outside, beautiful greenery. It's close to the center and is yet really quiet and feels like a secluded piece of paradise
