12:12 Hostel

Top choice in Bogotá


This artsy hostel epitomizes the cutting-edge Chapinero Alto scene: recycled materials such as discarded bikes, which are mounted like fun-house art installations, and tossed-aside books, which pepper the walls instead of wallpaper, are the backbone of this design-forward choice.

The colorful dorm beds are some of Bogotá's most comfortable, with reading lamps, privacy curtains and cozy bedding; the big, modern communal kitchen and slate bathrooms are above and beyond for a hostel.
