Hostal Encuentro - Hostel

Cali

A little too warm welcome to the girls (the owner tries to give them a break on arrival and in the morning). Apart from that, the terrace is nice, our room was neat and it was quite clean.

Not very intimate

Up a couple of flights of steep steps, a pink wall with a Doctor Whoish owl. Cross the threshold and like it or lump it Adolfo has welcomed you into the family. An instantly avuncular gentleman, an arm around your shoulder already. Don't be freaked out, he means well, if a tad tactile for some perhaps. A cheery colourful place, more gaudy than Gaudi maybe, bright and airy dorm with not a bunk in sight, which allows at least the illusion of space. The terrace makes the most of the elevated position for views, munch breakfast prepared by a doting Adolfo, plot your next move.
This is the hilly district of San Antonio. Take a short scramble up to the church at the top of the park for even better sweeping vistas. San Ant's got a pleasing Bohemian feel. From the hostel, walk down to the river, various bakeries, food stops & cafes en route, and you'll be in gato heaven: fantastic photo opportunities. I don't think there's anywhere else on the planet with so many diverse sculptures of pusscats. And nearby is a short line of mostly hole-in-the-wall bars & takeaways, good for casually hanging out of an evening with some beers, watch some football with the locals, much prefer to overpriced glitz in Granada district.
Jekyll & Hyde city, Cali. On Saturday night, a mile along the river was Absolutely Buzzing with street entertainment, Salsa pouring on the sizzling sauce, infectious energy. This is what Cali's about. Sunday was a challenge to find a minimarket open. 
Pero Bravo Encuentro.

Breve Encuentro Pero Bravo

Hostel well located,A family atmosphere thanks to Adolfo and not to mention the kindness of Andrés.They helped us organize our stay in Cali.The breakfast is excellent and varied.

That's great.

The hostel is very nice, it has a terrace with a very nice view of Cali and is located 5 minutes walk from a park with a very nice viewpoint.The area is very bohemian, safe and the staff very friendly.In my case it reaches 1 a.m. and I expect Joaquín very friendly.Andrés is also super attentive to the guests and knows the city very well.

Very good hostel in the best area of Cali.

I felt really lucky to have found Hostel Encuentro in Cali. I have been travelling around Latin America for many months having stayed at a lot of different hostel but not even one amounted to this one. Adolfo, the owner, is an incredible man who makes you feel like you're part of his family. I met a lot of very cool people there who made my stay amazing. Whenever you need any help, there is someone available.

Also, through Adolfo, I got into contact with a salsa teacher who is a professional dancer and taught me super well! Compared to teachers in Salsa schools around Cali it was a lot cheaper as well.

If you guys plan on going to Cali and if you fancy learning Salsa, this Hostel Encuentro is the one to go to.

Thanks guys!

Best hostel and best salsa lessons in Cali

Although the hostel was far from the university, it is super well located, in a neighborhood with many restaurants, bars.The hostel is very nice, clean, the people who serve you are very friendly.A place to recommend.

Good experience with accommodation

I spent four nights here, from the beginning its staff made me feel at home, giving me recommendations for the area and connecting me with other guests. The breakfast is different every day, and always accompanied by fruit. The location is excellent, to everyone who visits Cali I recommend the San Antonio sector, and this hostel is close to important sights and roads in the city.

A charm, from its location to its staff.

We really recommend this perfect hostel, the staff is very attentive, everything is very clean, and we feel at home, and a great breakfast every day, thank you for everything.

Like everywhere in Cali, the owners make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. The breakfast is great and the view is spectacular. The rooms are nice and everything was perfect. It is not the cheapest place but it is also quite exceptional so that makes sense.

So Welcoming

I stayed 5 nights with my college friends and we did very well.The service as the place was impeccable, plus the location is very strategic because it is close to the places to visit in Cali.
