Hostal El Mohan Neiva

Review by hotel critic

Review of Rating: ★★★★☆As a seasoned food critic and occasional winemaker, I arrived at this hostel after a long night bus journey, allowing me to appreciate the valuing of comfort over mere extravagance. The owner, Mohan, graciously provided an early check-in, an act that speaks volumes about their customer orientation. Set in a prime location, just a brief ten-minute stroll to the main square, the convenience of nearby grocery shopping means that the essential comforts of home are within easy reach. The cleanliness of both the room and shared kitchen support a pleasant stay. Mohan’s son, Alvaro, went out of his way to book a Tatacoa Desert tour without commission, showcasing their commitment to genuine hospitality rather than profit. The dorm room featured a comfortable bed and a private toilet, striking a balance between basic amenities and reasonable pricing. For those seeking value without sacrificing essentials, this hotel serves as a well-priced gateway to explore Colombia. The welcoming nature of the staff and their readiness to assist with tours and airport shuttles add to the appeal. The experience at this hostel is a testament to the idea that good hospitality need not come at a premium.
