Onas Hostel & Suites in Review

Let’s join our walk through Onas Hostel. We will experience Arabic eclectic design, special lighting, admire some Berlin-London influenced touches, and come across endless plants and seating areas. And if that’s not enough, the big outdoor swimming pool in the backyard is the place to just linger after a long day exploring Córdoba.

1. High-end, yet sustainable

Onas Hostel started their accommodation with combining two existing buildings into an impressive complex of front-yard, main building, building on-site for accommodation, and backyard—swimming pool included.

One important element for the design of Onas is the lighting.

The wow-effect is included!

Onas Hostel & Suites offers numerous social areas to hang out

The hostel works with companies providing efficient electrical installation to minimize the co2 footprint.

Additionally, after 6 months of opening, the accommodation decided to change the whole lighting system to a full LED light system.

This allows the hostel to reduce their carbon emissions.

A full design hostel concept to knock-off your socks

Currently in process is their own organic farm project.

The goal is to grow in-house plants providing the hostels mint, basil, and other herbs for self-supply at the bar and restaurant.

The hostel concept is based on noble, high quality materials and recycled elements to bring the guests an international, eclectic flair. The term luxury is here more than accurate!

2. Top-Notch design jungle

The villa of Onas is located in two former building complexes, built in the early 19th century.

The initial plan was to take both buildings down and start from scratch.

That was until architect Juan Manuel Roque Allende and the two designers Maria Eugenia Beltran and Pilar Carranza decided to take a challenge.

They united the two complexes, and the interior designers found a way to upcycle existing elements to a prominent interior.

5. Small hostel, big family – the staff

There is something special about the staff: Every single team member at Onas Hostels started its hospitality experience right here. Nobody had any real experience in hospitality, and it all came down to this hostel opening.

So, what’s the verdict? Well done, keep it up! Although the lack of experience, it is even more impressive to see what great job the Onas Team is doing; every day!

The team receives plenty of compliments for their friendly, good vibes.

„We are all like a big family that’s learning together a new skill and it happens that we are good at it.“
