Viajero Cali Hostel & Salsa School

The people (really all of the staff) and especially the salsa teachers are amazing, very professional and good at teaching (I took some private classes from Jeniffer, who Is amazing as well!) I strongly recommend taking private classes here! This is also a great place for meeting people.

The private rooms get very hot because there's a solar collector on top. I'd guess 35 C, warmer than outside. It's a bit damp because ventilation is bad (like in most of Colombia btw). Private rooms are close to the bar where the music was too loud and went on until midnight (problem for private rooms, dorms are further away), while breakfast preparation at 5:30am makes a lot of noise too and windows and doors don't really stop any of the noise. So getting enough sleep is a challenge. Especially if you go to one of the amazing salsa parties of which the most famous are very close to the hostel! I also was expecting more salsa/reggaeton music at the bar but a lot of it late at night was monotonous gangsta rap. I have a feeling that the hostel has a bit of an identity crisis: salsa hostel or party hostel? I felt the party aspect with the bad music ruined the experience a bit for me. I think they can do better! :)
