HOSTEL DETAILS

Anandamayi is a very comfortable and inexpensive hostel in the most beautiful colonial house in la Candelaria old town. It has 3 poetic and colorful patios with hammocks and geraniums; a wonderful ancient garden with waterfalls, fish ponds and incredibly friendly hummingbirds; rooms with fireplaces and an attic from where you can see the sunrise behind Monserrate and hear the bells from the old churches and cathedral; and at sunset,  the  martial band when they change the guard at the presidential palace which is just around the corner. Anandamayi can lovably lodge 36 people. "Beauty, comfort and service" are it`s aims.

All museums, theatres and major attractions like the Quinta de Bolivar, Monserrate Sanctuary, the Botero Museum, Gold Museum, Luis Angel Arango Library, colonial churches and historical monuments are within walking distance. On weekends you can join ecological trekking groups that follow the ancient Indian roads: Lots of sun, exercise and beautiful scenery. You can enjoy the superlocation of this safe and drugs-free place and yet you will be surprised at how quiet it is inside, and how friendly and homely the atmosphere is. Writers, painters and poets often  stay for a long time.

DIRECTIONS TO ANANDAMAYI INN.

The nearest bus stop is just two blocks away. If you come by taxi remind the driver that since the old town is mainly pedestrian, he has to take the calle 9 from the Avenida Circunvalar. You can also walk some blocks from the Transmilenio bus stop at the Avenida Jimenez. You can find the Hostel easily  by looking for the logo, a lotus flower, that is  painted on  the wall beside the entrance.
