Located centrally in San Sebastián de La Gomera, Hostal Colón offers a straightforward and clean base for exploring the island.

It's a convenient choice for those arriving by ferry and keen to start hiking or explore the capital.

Situated in San Sebastián de La Gomera, Cactus Hostel is tailored for community and digital nomads, creating a social environment for guests. It’s a place where I experienced an intentional focus on interaction, making it easy to connect with others. The hostel is located just a short walk from the beach, ideal for those who appreciate both natural surroundings and shared experiences.
