Hostel Tralala Salento — Hotel in Quindío

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in a double room with private bathroom in the hostel tralala while on a recent trip to Salento. Overall we had a really positive experience and here are a few of my thoughts in relation to the place. ||PROS |- Room - was really quite cute. Wooden floors, comfortable bed with blankets, windows that open onto the street.||- Hot water - worked reliably. ||- Staff were friendly and generally spoke some English. They were able to organise a few services for us that I have listed below. ||- Security - was happy with this. They have a locked door downstairs as the only point of entry and you are given a key for this on check in. Doors and windows all had locks that worked. ||- Location - Salento is a small town and so you can walk everywhere. This was fairly centrally located and only a block from the plaza. Walking distance from the bus terminal. ||- Value - for what you get it’s superb value. ||- Laundry service - They do laundry on site and you get it back within 2-3 hours at a cost of 10000COP a kilogram. This was helpful after we returned from our hike as we had some heavily soiled outfits that needed attention. ||- Private transfer - They organised a private transfer for us to the piera airport at a cost of 170K which we appreciated as we had a time budget to consider. ||- Luggage storage - we did an overnight hike in between our 2x1 night stays and we were able to keep the luggage in their common kitchen area during this time. ||- They do offer boot hire for trekking in the valle de corcora although we did use this service.||CONS |- Wifi and associated internet was a bit patchy at times . ||- Noise - given the rooms open up onto the street a bit of traffic noise can be expected. ||Overall this was a comfortable and very economical option for us and I would have no hesitation recommending it to...

We arrived in Salento after booking a hostel in advance, but when we got there, we found that the room was very uncomfortable, so we wanted to switch. We called hostel Tralala to confirm availability, and as soon as we were told there was space, we canceled our previous reservation and went there with all our things. A few minutes after arriving, the receptionist told us she had made a mistake and there was actually no availability. We started looking for another place to stay, but after about 10 minutes she asked us to leave because it was the hostel’s quiet hours — even though we were sitting quietly and just looking for a new place on our phones. We explained that we had nowhere to sleep at the moment and just needed some time to sit and find somewhere, but she said it wasn’t her problem and that we should have been more responsible — even though the reason we canceled our previous booking was because she had told us there was space. In the end, we found ourselves out on the street at night looking for a place to sleep — when all we needed was just a few minutes to sit in the lobby. That was the bare minimum she could have done after her mistake. The receptionist’s name was apparently Alla, although it’s possible she gave us a fake name because we asked her after she had kicked us out...
