Nueve Uno Hostel

Price value very good. The staff is very friendly and they helped us so much with our flight. Great location right next to the beach. Kitchen was well equiped and had everything we needed. Free drinking water which gets exchanged perfectly on time.

Our room didnt have a window, so the air gets quite bad easily and our bedroom smelled a bit. The looks of the bathroom dont work properly.

Very chill hostel. Small but clean and modern. Good kitchen facilities. Free purified water. Large dorm room. Comfortable beds and good air con. Close to the seafront . Owners were friendly but sort of only hung around if they needed so was nicer not to feel constantly under supervision which often happens. They kindly allowed me to store my backpack whilst I went to Cabo de la vela

No social vibe, the kitchen was very stuffy and could do with air con too

The location was perfect. Steps away from the beach, grocery stores, restaurants and the main park. The staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely stay here again with no questions. I would also recommend it to any variety of solo traveler.

There was everything to like.

Our hosts Jose & his brother Jesus were great. They were very helpful throughout our stay, responsive by WhatsApp for information and help on booking tours & transits to /from airport or bus terminals. Jose's English is really good, so this was helpful when we struggled in Spanish. We stayed 6 nights which was a sufficient amount of time in Riohacha, to see Cabo de la Vela and get a feel for the town. The location was really good, steps away from the beach and near everything needed - grocery store, pharmacy, ATMs, restaurants. We booked the private room with en-suite bathroom, which is a 1 bed apartment with small lounge with sofa and table, which can be used as a desk. The rooms are not overlooked so its private and quiet most of the week bar Saturday, when there is some street noise until late. There is no balcony, but there is a small corner view of the sea from the bedroom window. The bed was large and very comfortable., and the space very generous size, also very comfortable - with a nice large wardrobe to hang and organise our things so we could feel more at home. We appreciated having a small kitchenette with sink and gas hob to make our own coffee in the mornings. A shared fridge is also available in the reception area to use., as is a convenient drinking water refill dispenser. There is also a small hand-wash laundry room with drying line. The AC and Wifi both worked really well, and it was good to have a fan in the living area to help distribute the bedroom AC. Our room was cleaned once during our stay, with fresh towels and the hand/body soap topped up. We appreciated that there was sufficient amount of soap available to use. The property doesn't have hot water showers, but we got used to it, as it was hot in Riohacha in October. We did see one cockroach on our 1st night (which can be common in tropical climates)but Jose dealt with it straightaway and it didn't happen again the rest of our time there.

It was a really good place to stay for Riohacha! A couple little improvements to make it even more amazing would be to have a small bedside table / reading lamp, and a shower mat, so we wouldn't have to get the floor wet after a shower.
