Map & live prices by our partner
Most of Bogota's best hostels cluster in La Candelaria, the historic centre, where you can walk to the Gold Museum and Bolivar Square. Expect colonial architecture, rooftop terraces, and a social vibe—places like The Cranky Croc (9.2 rating) and Botanico Hostel (8.6) are standout picks. For a quieter stay, head north to Chapinero or Usaquen, where hostels like Trip Monkey Chapinero and Usaquen Station offer a more local feel. Prices vary from around COP 31,377 for a basic bed to COP 156,887 for a more private or equipped option, so set a budget and choose accordingly.
La Candelaria is the classic choice for first-timers: it's walkable to the Gold Museum, Bolivar Square, and the historic streets, and packed with hostels like The Cranky Croc and Botanico. It's lively, but theft can be a concern at night—stick to main streets. For a safer, more upscale stay with nightlife, Chapinero is a good alternative, and Usaquen offers a tranquil, leafy vibe.
You'll find dorm beds from around COP 31,377 at hostels like 82Hostel and Casa Del Sol, while a slightly more comfortable stay in Candelaria typically costs COP 40,000–50,000. For a private room or premium location, expect COP 90,000–160,000. Many hostels include breakfast and free Wi-Fi.
It depends on the area. In La Candelaria, stick to well-lit main streets and take a cab after dark, especially around the historic centre. Chapinero and Usaquen are generally safer and more residential, but still exercise caution. Hostels with 24-hour reception, like The Cranky Croc and North House Hostel, add an extra layer of security.
For weekends and holidays, book at least 2-3 weeks ahead—the most popular hostels, like Masaya Bogota and El Yarumo, fill up quickly. If you're flexible, you can often find last-minute deals during the week. In the rainy season (April–May and October–November), you'll have more choice.
Cedron Hostel stands out with a 9.4 rating from 106 reviews, offering a historic, family-run feel in La Candelaria. The Cranky Croc follows at 9.2, and Masaya Bogota scores 8.9 with strong guest reviews.
Bogota's hostel scene is as varied as the city's neighbourhoods. In the cobbled streets of La Candelaria, you'll find colonial buildings turned social hubs—The Cranky Croc and Botanico Hostel buzz with daily activities and rooftop terraces, while Zohar Hostel sits steps from Bolivar Square. Further north, Trip Monkey Chapinero Hostel anchors the leafy, cafe-lined district of Chapinero, and Usaquen Station Hostel offers calm near the old town's Sunday market.
The city rewards those who pick their base by district: stay central for history and nightlife, or choose the north for quieter, more upscale surroundings. Prices start around COP 31,377 per night at 82Hostel and climb to typical budgets of COP 50,000–80,000, which in Bogota buys you breakfast, strong Wi-Fi, and a bed in a well-rated social space. Note: this page also includes a few non-hostel properties, such as guesthouses and budget hotels, to give the full picture of budget stays.
These hostels are perfect for budget-conscious travellers who value social connections, central locations, and a lively atmosphere—especially in La Candelaria. If you prefer more privacy or a traditional hotel experience, or need specific amenities like parking or business facilities, check out the regular hotels or the airport, family-friendly, and business hotel pages for options better suited to your needs.
