What makes us Bohemian?

Three reasons people extend their stay.

Two wooden crescent moons on a deep green wall.

  1. Salsa at the door, twice a week.

    Free classes every Wednesday and Friday, taught — in the hostel’s words — by a professional dancer who competes internationally. No partner needed.

    See the week’s rhythm

  2. A bed that feels like a hideaway.

    Capsule pods with curtains, reading lights and USB-C. Private rooms with A/C and Smart TV — three of the room types with their own bathroom.

    Compare the rooms

  3. A table that turns strangers into friends.

    Canela Café on site for breakfast, brunch and lunch, plus free coffee and tea all day in the community room.
