About

Hostal Rana

Hostal Rana is a 3-star hotel set in the colonial centre of Villa de Leyva, a town known for its stone streets and well-preserved architecture. The hotel occupies a traditional building with a handful of rooms arranged around a leafy patio and garden, where guests can sit with a book or enjoy a cup of complimentary coffee or tea.

The property is small – just seven rooms in total – which keeps things personal and quiet. Despite its compact size, the hotel manages to offer a range of accommodation, from a shared dormitory to family rooms, making it suitable for different types of travellers. Breakfast is available at an additional cost and has been singled out by guests as both delicious and reasonably priced.

“This place sits in a central spot that's handy for many sights. The room was inviting, the bed comfortable, and the shower decent. Staff were welcoming, and free coffee and tea were a nice perk. The cooked breakfast, at an extra charge, was of good quality. The property has a charming character and a lovely patio to relax on.”

“The position is perfect for a city getaway, just a stone's throw from the main square and within easy walking distance of key sights. We were also touched by the kindness of the woman in charge, who was always willing to assist. And the free coffee and tea were a great extra.”
