We booked the "rockstar suite".. my only regret is not spending more time at Selina. Beautiful BoHo property, loved the size and privacy of the suite, and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Looking forward to staying again soon!

My first hostile room
Love the old world charm of building, staff were friendly and accommodating and people some English which was helpful! Bathrooms need repair (stalls don’t lock, no paperwork entire stay, tp holders broken), walls very thin so lots of very loud smashing in night even though i wore earplugs. Cafe on site was adorable and made a great cappuccino! I’ve stayed at hostels before but only private rooms. This was my first time to have a private room with shared bathroom. It was doable!

Beautiful building but a terrible nights sleep.
The Selina here has great potential but was a let down. A mattress with no support, creaky floorboards, thin walls, and poor quality windows meant we found it very tricky to sleep with all the noise that went until 2am, and then started again at 6am. Lovely location, friendly staff, and decent food, but if you want to be able to sleep, consider staying elsewhere.

Looks just like it did in the pictures. They play loud music which can get annoying at times. They usually stop before 11pm. Drinks are overpriced and food is okay. There is a breakfast place up the street to the right. You will need other options. Also they have heaters so request one. Overall 4/5

We booked a room with a private bathroom. When we arrived, we were told that we would have to use a shared bathroom. We immediately changed locations, but the property still charged us full price. The receipt clearly showed the room was booked with a private bathroom, but the guy at the desk said that recent rain had caused a shortage of rooms. He apologized, but still charged me full price.

The walls in the older portion of the property are very thin ir not completely sealed between rooms. Noise between rooms is loud and can inhibit sleep in this front area.

The hostel/hotel is more of a restaurant than a venue to stay. I was in the main building above the bar in a private room (booked for peace) and live music begins very early at 7am and runs until 11pm. They had people selling goods in the foyer. More interested in profit than giving their guests a restful nights sleep. There is definitely a balance that needs to be achieved. I was told the music would end at 9pm, it went on until 11pm so I had to complain and was met with blank stares from management. I asked for country managers details to complain, I was never sent these. Terrible hostel. Would not recommend at all.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Selina hostel. It was within walking minutes of a few museums, a convenience store, restaurants, and the plaza de bolivar. The room we stayed in (rockstar suite) was amazing! The floors were creaking a lot but the views were amazing ( Monserrate, Guadalupe hill, church, city skyscrapers). Felt like we were staying at an apartment. The property was very lively, lots of young travelers! Reception was very helpful. Hostel offers COVID tests and some free tours. Felt safe since they always had a security guard in front of the property. I would recommend for any young travelers! Would not recommend for families because it does get pretty loud at night since they have a lounging area and restaurant/bar. Would definitely come back to this hostel if I come back to bogota.

The Candelaria area is the perfect area to stay at while in Bogota. It’s close to do the amazing Graffiti tour that the hostel recommends. The hostel offers a lot of activities to get to know Bogota in the best way. Lively music at night, staff is very helpful. Huge thanks to Jack at the front desk for helping me book my bus.

Location was super. We walked all over, including to Monserrate teleferico. Front desk and bar staff were excellent. Highly recommend if you want to stay in the old town of Bogota. Can't wait to return someday.
