āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø A Home Away From Home ā More Than Just a Hostel
I stayed at Oasis Cali Hostel for about a month, and to say it was memorable would be an understatement. This place truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth, kindness, and an energy that made it hard to leave.
A special shoutout to Nico, whoās doing an incredible job running this place. Not once did I feel like I was just another guest. The relationships built here are genuine, not transactional, and the overall vibe is one of deep care and connection.
The community is amazingāAmelia, Coby, Caroline, and others made the experience that much more enriching. I came to learn salsa and Spanish, and this was the perfect spot. Spanish classes are conveniently located right across the street, and in-house salsa lessons are offered regularly with a rotation of excellent instructors.
I had the joy of learning from Carlos, who is not only a masterful dancer but also hilariousāhis classes were both educational and a ton of fun.
If you're planning to visit Cali, this is the place to stay. I already know that when I return, thereās no other place Iād even consider....
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe stayed at Oasis Cali hostel for 4 nights. We had a private room with a small private courtyard as well. We had free group dance lessons everyday at 6pm, really loved the lessons that Carlos did. We would have done private lessons with him if we were staying longer. Really good energy and so nice, great teacher as well. Also love that there is a dog in the hostel, this was amazing. Really nice owners, easy to get along with. Social and organised activities while you are there. Good kitchen with basics and storage space for guests which is always appreciated. They also had a blender! Loved that! Just wish there were a few more spices available for guests. Breakfast was not vegan friendly, although we also didn't ask. Just eggs, bread and juice, and coffee. Good location and good area to stay in, lots of good places to eat around for good price Nice outdoor spaces to chill and also small little exercise area on the roof, again love having access to this kind of stuff when on long term travel. Would reccomend for sure. I give it a 4.5/ but can't give half star on here...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe had the private room with patio. Best room we have had in 5 months traveling! Besides the lovely room, the sharded bathrooms were beautifull with nice hot showers. The free salsa lessons were fun and the common spaces vibrant. We made amazing friends here and had outstanding nights out with them. The neighbourhood of the hostel is relatively save and there are lots of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. We did not sleep in the dorms but they looked nice as well with good curtains. The breakfast was basic. They just handed you eggs to prepare yourself but this proved to be a great way to socialise during breakfast because people quickly share pans and tables.
The amazing staff/volunteers asked for feedback in the end. As a Dutchy always looking for ways to improve everything, I was shocked that I could not think of a single thing to improve. So a very rare...
