Hostal Palmas De Cocora Salento

Review by hotel critic

Review of Hostal Palmas De CocoraAs a traveler with a keen eye for both luxury and value, my recent stay at Hostal Palmas De Cocora was a refreshing experience. Nestled in a quiet location yet just a stone's throw from the main square, the hostel offers an ideal retreat for those seeking solace from the usual tourist bustle. The accommodations were clean and the beds remarkably comfortable, offering an excellent night's sleep—something every traveler cherishes. The well-lit rooms included smooth blankets and plenty of pillows, enhancing the overall experience. While the hostel does not feature extensive social areas, it fosters a sense of community, primarily due to its family-run essence. A notable mention is Olga, the brilliant host, who not only made me feel at home but also allowed me to store my bag during my three-day hike. Although the kitchen is modest, it is fully equipped for those who prefer to prepare their own meals. For solo travelers seeking budget-friendly options without sacrificing comfort, Hostal Palmas De Cocora presents an attractive value proposition. It’s a fine choice for anyone prioritizing tranquility and local connection over frills, perfectly blending luxury and functionality.
