The optional breakfast was a delightful treat, and the cafe's offerings were both delicious and locally sourced.Regarding amenities, the hostel provides laundry services at a reasonable cost, enhancing the value proposition for longer stays. The friendly hosts, Kim and Tony, were invaluable resources for local tips and tour recommendations, ensuring a well-rounded experience in Popayan. The availability of a washing machine and dryer was a practical touch, yet minor improvements could enhance the overall experience, such as a stronger Wi-Fi connection and additional storage options in the rooms.In conclusion, Hostel Caracol strikes a balance between value and comfort, making it a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking a welcoming environment and personalized recommendations for exploring Popayan and its surroundings.
