Guest Reviews

• Zulay Nohora (10/5): Lo recomiendo! - Buena zona, buenas instalaciones Todo estuvo bien, incluido el michi-seguridad
• VIVIANA LORENA (8/5): Buena - La atención fue muy buena, te dicen ubicaciones de lugares o transportes, el hospital queda enfrente, todo es muy cercano y consigues casi todo, pero en definitiva valoro mucho la atención para volver La puerta de la habitación tiene un lado destapado por donde uno se puede sentir observado, se debería sellar con algo para más privacidad
• kristian (10/5): -
• beatriz (1/5): muy mala experiencia - muy buena ubicación..y en términos generales está bien el aire de la habitación no sirvió nunca y el encargado no.nos colaboro.. es más nos envío a otro hotel.. algo que nunca habías oído en una atención de un hotel... deben ser más cuidadosos con el encargado.. debe estar capacitado en atención al personal.. me dijo que a ese hotel no le importaba los malos comentarios en booking
• Sebastian (9/5): Tranquilidad y cercanía - Tranquilidad Nada
• Andrea (10/5): Agradable - Muy buena ubicación, queda en la zona colonial de Girón y muy cerca al parque. La cama fue cómoda y el baño impecable. No hay parqueadero, pero cerca del hostal se consigue y a buen precio.
• Mármol Reyes (10/5): - La privacidad
• Kiran (10/5): -
• Julietriana (7/5): - La ubicación de lugar es maravillosa porque queda super cerca . La plaza principal queda a tan solo dos calles, supermercados, farmacias, lugares para comer. La limpieza es perceptible en todo el lugar En la descripción en el momento de reserva decía baño privado , y el baño se encontraba fuera de la habitación, nos dijeron que se dejaba con llave para uso de nosotros pero cuando salíamos el baño estaba abierto . Importante que en cada habitación puedan describir realmente cómo es para evitar sorpresas !
• JESSICA ANDREA (10/5): Una estancia en medio de la tranquilidad y la historia - De alojamiento, me encantó la habitación a la que tuve acceso muy acogedora, limpia con los aditamentos necesarios para una excelente hospedaje. Todo estuvo perfecto
• Torres González (9/5): - La limpieza de las sábanas
• Elise (9/5): - L'auberge est charmante, dans une maison typique de la rue centrale du village. La chambre était très originale et confortable, nous avons très bien dormi.
• Joanne (10/5): Highly recommended. - Faultless. Johnathan is incredibly helpful and hospitable. The simple room and bathroom was spotlessly clean. Great value for money. If you don’t like staying in cities, this home makes for a perfect airport/bus station stopover being 15 minutes from both yet within a beautiful historic small town. Johnathan picked us up from the airport for a small fee and arranged a taxi the next day for the bus station. He made our journey exceptionally easy.
• Schwab (10/5): Colonial town with a quiet central park. - Everything was great for the budget traveller. The historic town has so much character, and they have developed a restaurant street free of cars. The air-conditioning was an added bonus. The bus stop for the main bus terminal was a few blocks away.
• Maurice (10/5): Highly recommended accommodation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Beautifully appointed colonial decor. Extremely courteous staff. No hot water 😳
• Salomé (10/5): Exceptional -
• Joanna (5/5): Passable -
• Valentina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lesley (9/5): Superb - Top option in Girón, with an excellent host. A really nice, well located hostel
• Sergio (8/5): Very good -
• Dondzila (8/5): Very good -
• Brian (8/5): Excellent! - The location of the Hostal Colonial de Santander was excellent! Just on the edge of the historical area, it provided a great launch point to the historical area for a few hours of sightseeing. Just a couple of blocks away from the historical central square and gorgeous church, it was a great place to stay for a night (although probably no need to stay more). The host was very friendly and helpful and although he didn't speak much English, he gave me an overview of the historical district and had some flyers and a map to review. Wifi was great. I was very happy to be able to get a week's worth of laundry done while I was there overnight and it was very affordable. Despite my arrival in the afternoon, it was done that evening and ready by 7:30 AM the next day which was very commendable as I've heard some hostels need 24 hours. Very pleased to have stayed there! It's a fairly new hostel so only a few little things such as having hand soap in the washroom (shampoo was there though) and a waste basket in the room. (I'm sure that has been fixed already for future guests!). The room was a little small, with just beds (and no chair, table or desk) but that was all I needed as I was just there to sleep before leaving the next morning to the airport. I think for the money, a simple breakfast should be included, or else maybe drop the price $10K COP. But I'm happy to have stayed there and would do so again if return to Giron.
• Javier (9/5): Place with good cost-benefit, friendly staff and well located and colonial style. - It is well located, on a street going up towards the main square, price-quality ratio is good, there was a cat which I loved, the staff was very friendly, the private room is small, but it has everything you need. There is a large parking lot a few meters away, easy to get to. There is kitchen. All very well.
• Karyn (7/5): Quiet and convenient. - Colonial style, outdoor and indoor seating areas, quiet and secure. Kitchen available. Close to restaurants. Closer to airport than Bucaramanga. Fans in bedrooms. Disregard glowing reviews prior to October 2023. We chose the hotel on the basis of those reviews that are no longer relevant. No breakfast is available. Rooms quite hot and dark. Girón has hotter temperatures than Bucaramanga.
• Ana (8/5): Very good - The location was great. Friendly staff. The room was small but with everything that is necessary. Bed was confortable, clean and with cotton bedsheets :). The bathroom in our room was pretty. The fan was a bit noisy but the staff told us they are planning to change it soon. I would have loved a shower with hot water.
• Loran (7/5): Good - It was just what we needed for one night. Staff were helpful. The bathroom was open to the bedroom and the toilet was just behind a wall so not much privacy and the room got very humid after a shower.
• Carolina (10/5): Exceptional - The small backyard and bar Chairs should be more comfortable
• Bárbara (6/5): Not as expected. Good service though - I liked the breakfast and the attention and service by the staff of the hostel The price point for a private room was very high taking into account that the room was not really as pictured. The common living room area is dirty and smells like cat piss. There was also a door inside the shower that led to the common area and locking it was hard
• Felipe (8/5): Very good -
• Alexandra (10/5): Great! - The ladies there were excellent hosts, very helpful and kind. Clean sheets, towels and place. Nice breakfast and low prices. Quiet and great weather. I recommend it. Maybe I needed a tv, but the price I paid was just fair for the room I had. The other rooms are more complete.
• Catherine (6/5): good value for price - Basic, good bed Attentive staff Room without window, hot; fan was too strong on lowest setting
• Taras (9/5): Superb - Very hospitable people. Cosy place with nice garden and old style of rooms make them very charmy.
• Jessica (9/5): Superb -
• Fabian (8/5): I’d go back, for sure! - Breakfast is amazing, it was such a nice experience! Cesar and Helena are so kind! It’s a bit warm and the room did not have AC
• Brayan (7/5): Good -
• Mariana (8/5): Very good -
• Omar (7/5): Good -
• Jorge (8/5): Very good -
• Christopher (1/5): Bad -
• Mk (10/5): perfect - Lovely small hostel which is located half between the bus terminal and airport. the staff were amazing and very helpful. Highly recommend nothing
• Liam (10/5): Beautiful spot in a lovely town - Lovely, generous and hospitable hosts with lots of ideal recommendations. Comfortable clean room with a fan and lots of character. Great facilities and beautiful outside area, in a convenient location. I only wish we'd planned to spend longer here and in Girón. N/a!
• Posada (8/5): Very good -
• Sabi (8/5): Comfy and very clean room in charming home. Filling Breakfast - Charming interior In actual residence so privy to movements in home.
• Benjamon (8/5): Very good - I pretty liked the Atmosphere of this hostel. And that the location its in the middle of the old part of Giron. Nothing to complain.
• Anthony (8/5): Very good -
• Joanne (9/5): Superb - Very welcoming.Lovely outside seating area that we were allowed to use during the day even after checking out. The owners are very kind people. The window of the room opens onto an internal courtyard so privacy is a bit compromised.
• Nicolás (8/5): Very good -
• José (9/5): Superb -
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Excelente desayuno, Fantastico
• Erin (10/5): A true gem for a cheap price. - Instagram? Place is more like a bed and breakfast, rather than a hostal. It is located in the historic district, close to shopping and the airport. The breakfast was delicious: yogurt, fruit, eggs, potatoes, fresh juice, and coffee. It was clean, cute, and quiet. The host recommended places to go see and where to eat. They also speak great English. I would highly recommend Hostal Cactus! No complaints at all.
