Medellín Hostels

Pros: Everything from the room and beds to the rooftops to the cafe to the amazing staff. Hot showers, big storage lockers for your bag in the dorm. Curtains to draw around your bed. Unable to hear the rooftop party from dorm plus they finish up around 11pm to go bar hopping. Kitchen is amazing and the social areas are plentyful. Towel is included bonus! Super clean at all times

Pros: Friendly staff and free coffee. Nice location with plenty of good restaurant choices nearby. Good hot water pressure in the shower. The rooftop terrace has a great view and is a nice place to work plus wifi is fast and reliable. I didn't take advantage of any of the classes or tours, but there are lots of options for travelers interested in these types of options.

Cons: Note: The "standard" double room had NO windows to the outside! Unless you look at a clock, you have no idea what time of day it is, or if the sun rose or set. That the room came without windows surprised me as the information provided online doesn't specify that this is a window-less room. I went back and looked after the fact and yes, the "superior" double room has one bullet point in the description that says "view" (but not "window"). If having a window is important to you, make sure you request a "superior" room. The hotel staff did try and accommodate my request for a room with a window; however, scheduling didn't end up permitting the change. Also, while I was in the room with the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside, the cleaning crew opened my door without knocking. I heard the "click" of the door, and then a head poked inside. The individual said that they were confused and wanted to check to see if there was someone staying in the room?? Thankfully, I was only working at my computer, but still, I found the unannounced interruption very uncomfortable and unprofessional. Although the patio music is turned off by 11 pm, the music is rather loud and can be heard from inside the room.

Pros: Safe and convenient location nearby to restaurants and the public transit system Great staff with organized events, makes it easy for solo travellers or groups to join in and socialize Good facilities/ wifi etc. you could stay here for a long period of time comfortably Regular cleaning and nice room - we had a private room with 2 double beds and it looked like a hotel room

Cons: I wish some of the activities were more frequent! On the weekend it was basically the pub crawls that were offered, I would have loved to try salsa or cocktail lessons but they were wed/ sun night and we were there thurs morning to sun afternoon

Pros: The Wifi was really good.

Cons: WARNING: Party Hostel!!! You should only consider going here if you're fine with a lobby-party each week, a rooftop party and a beer championship (each event is weekly). Obviously a party in the hostel and on top of it is extremely loud. So if you wanna get up early you're screwed. Also the smoker's area is right in front of the hostel and many rooms are faced to the street. So there's like thirty 20 year old kids who are screaming, shouting and singing Backstreet Boys songs at least until midnight (true story). It was super annoying. The hostel is pretty cool for kids who wanna get to know other people from all over the world and drink pretty much every day. If you're an adult and you wanna actually take rest at night (I'm 33, so this is not your grandfather talking) you should definitely go to another place. Trust me.

Pros: Hot water, amazing! Very social place. Bit more on the expensive side but you get what you pay for ☺️

Pros: Beautiful hostel with fun activities. Our private room was absolutely amazing! It exceeded our expectations in size, comfort, and cleanliness. We took a free night bike tour that we loved! The rooftops on both properties have the breathtaking views of the city.

Cons: Loved everything.

Pros: The view from the rooftop, all the excellent facilities. Perfectly clean room every day. Excellent shower.

Cons: Very noisy even with earplugs. Lots of organised activities, but the ones we were interested in were cancelled last minute.

Pros: Lovely hostel, great activities that they organized, good location.

Cons: Breakfast not included and they weren't very flexible when it came to unforseen last minute changes. Sometimes when you are traveling on a multi month trip, things happen (i.e. you miss a flight) and having a hostel who can understand this and be flexible is important. Their lack of flexibility caused us to have to travel in a way we didn't want and caused me to get sick meaning my whole time in Medellin was spent with me being sick. Other than their lack of flexibility, I highly recommend!!

Pros: The property is perfect, the location is good and the staff is amazing. + if you’d like to party this is the hostel to be

Cons: Nothing wrong to say. They don’t have Landry service.

Pros: Amazing Hostel with 2 rooftops with amazing views! Very clean and great staff. They organize a lot of get togethers for the hostel guests. Great location with lots of restaurants around the neighborhood plus close to the supermarket. Definitely recommend this Hostel to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Medellin.

Pros: The room was comfy. The bathroom was good the kitchen was great. Excellent location of you want to go to a football match.

Cons: Nada

Pros: The location was great, I enjoyed being out of some of the major tourist areas and being so close to the Metro station, which I used to get around the city. The staff was very friendly, and the house dog, Bruno, was super cute!! Having the option to use the kitchen was also great!

Cons: It was a bit loud, but that is staying in a city for you! The room on the second floor with a private bathroom was definitely worth it to help with the buzz of the city! We had some food stolen out of the kitchen, which was unfortunate.

Pros: Good value for money. Very friendly and helpful staff

Pros: Lovely staff. Super helpful and friendly. Only one bathroom for women but never had to wait and it's always kept clean. Great location. Close to supermarket.

Cons: Wifi isn't strong in the room. There is plastic underneath the bed sheet so it was noisy.

Pros: It was close to downtown medellin, metro station and various store.

Pros: Ok nothing outstanding - cheap - overrated

Cons: Staff on front desk had dispute with latino friend - loud

Pros: OK roof top but they haven't really done much with it. Could be a really cool place but really unorganised and not really helpful. Good kitchen at least.

Cons: They messed up our booking. Blamed everyone else except for themselves, made us feel like it was our fault didn't really want to help at all. Made us wait for ever to put us into the wrong room. Made us pay pretty much the same amount as the original booking in a dorm room even tho we booked for a private. Not overly friendly in general. Asked us to cancel the booking so we couldn't make a review I am guessing? Stay somewhere else, lots of other good hostels in the area. Atmosphere is non existent and staff are not overly welcoming or friendly

Pros: The staff were very friendly and little Bruno was a welcome companion for the few days we stayed!

Cons: The addition of fans in the room would be great!

Pros: Fab quirky hostel. I'd stay again. Great location in Poblado.

Cons: No water for a full day but I think that was a city wide problem. Thet gave us a bucket of water from the pool. No front door key and had to wait for someone to let us in.

Pros: The staff was super friendly and helpfull and the location was very good!

Cons: There was no lock on the toilets

Pros: The owners are amazing and make the place feel homely and relaxed. Location is good. Nice pool. Good value.

Cons: The doom rooms/beds were slightly lacking in comfort/cleanliness. The bathroom is open plan and very different to most hostels.

Pros: The owner is the best, really nice and friendly. Always helpful

Cons: A lot of noise. Our room was next to the shared showers and the entrance to the shared rooms so there was always people around making noise. I felt cold during the night, the window doesn’t close well and when I ask l blender they give me for a single bed when mine was a couple.

Pros: Great hostel for partying. Good location close to the metro station and comuna 13. The room was spacious. Free welcome drink. Cool atmosphere.

Cons: Cold water on the shower; Plastic bedsheet

Pros: The place

Pros: The hostel is cool, and super chill place. The price is great. Pretty easy to meet people

Cons: Location not really ideal, not a crazy party hostel like the rovers or lokis of peru,

Pros: The amazing staff, the rooms are clean, hot shower, amazing atmosphere. I stayed there for 4 days and I recommend it. It is very social and i love it!!

Pros: Por lo menos me devolvieron una de las dos noches // at least they refunded me one of the two nights

Cons: Dejé cosas en mi cama que desaparecieron en el día. Una cosa encontré por casualidad en la basura, otra estuvo en la recepción sin informarme. No puede ser!!! - I left some stuff in my bed during the day (as in other hostels too) that disappeared during the day. One thing I found by coincidence in the trash, the other one was stored in the reception without informing me. This is unacceptable!! - lockers no están en la habitación sino cerca de la recepción // lockers aren't in the rooms but only close to the reception - no habían enchufes en las camas arribas // no plug sockets in the upper beds

Pros: The people

Cons: Sometimes you need to wait for taking a shower

Pros: The staff was friendly relaxed and helpfull

Cons: Booked a two person dorm however this one was quite smelly. The bathroom next to the room was also not clean and you really needed flipflops to get out of it without getting dirty.

Pros: Definitely not the cleanest or most modern hostel I’ve ever stayed at, but that’s not what we came here for! Cheap beds, friendly staff and social vibes.

Cons: Kitchen and bathrooms need updating and could be cleaner. Hot water always ran out 30 seconds into my shower.

Pros: It's located down a quite street that's still close to all the action in El Poblado. Got a lovely common area on a large terrace. The staff was super friendly. Great Wifi. Offers everything it promises. All in all great value for money. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Medellin.

Pros: Very nice place! I had a big room with private bathroom for a very reasonable price. The staff was friendly and helpful too and I felt comfortable during my 5 weeks stay. Definitely recommandable if you are looking for a hostel that is close to everything in Poblado but still located in a quiet corner and not a party hostel. Super nice especially for longer stays. Patricia, special thanks to you for your kindness :)!

Pros: Very big beds, friendly staff, they should just get some more bathrooms but for the price it is outstanding

Pros: Superclean and friendly. Nice rooftopterrace with tv.

Cons: The showers are a bit cold but for me that is fine.

Pros: Location

Cons: Pictures on the site are totally different from The place even though it was clean and people very nice

Pros: The hostel is located in a very nice area, convenient and the building is nice.

Cons: There’s people living there permanently which makes it super uncomfortable to stay there, also the smell in the room was very unpleasant and I have bedbugs bites all over my body which makes me believe the place isn’t really that clean. The lady who works there is really nice and helpful.

Pros: the location is great, it's a quiet place but the bars and restaurants are very close. The staff is very friendly, our room was amazing, hot shower, good WiFi. we stayed longer and would come back for sure.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Good value for the money. The room was small but very clean and the bathroom was exceptionally clean!

Cons: The rooms do not have windows and there was a very unpleasant smell of gasoline in our room.

Pros: Clean, modern hostel close to the main square and bars in Poblado.

Cons: There wasn’t much atmosphere or chance to socialise with other travellers. Noisy nightclub across the street!

Pros: Not in the busiest tourist streets but very close. Staff helps when you have questions but you have to ask. Very clean. We got coffee when we arrived at 6am.

Cons: We stayed downstairs and these are open space rooms. You hear cars, neighbours, showers.

Pros: The breakfast is okay, but nothing special. You can either get cereals and yogurt or toasted bread with some fruit. There's always juice, coffee and hot chocolate.

Cons: The walls of the hostel are the worst, You can listen to everything that's going on around the hostel and since the reception is open for 24 hours people can come late at night and you'll ear everything. There are problems in the private bathrooms, too.

Pros: Perfect location

Pros: Everything was good

Pros: Hostel was nice and located in an interesting area.

Cons: Breakfast was really basic and in the morning due to some construction the smell in the room was really unpleasant (the room has no window to open).

Pros: The hostel is in a very good location, very clean, hot water in the shower, wifi is most of the time good.

Cons: Breakfast not so good...

Pros: The hostel is in a good location near lots of restaurants and bars. The staff were friendly and the simple breakfast was nice to have. The art theme is nice and the place has a genuine feel about it. Showers were hot.

Cons: The downside to the location is obviously the noise but that's a fair trade off and beyond the hostels control. The place is generally run down and needs some maintenance. Beers are pricey for a hostel. There is no restaurant and the photo's are generally misleading of how run down the place is. The bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress is well beyond it's use by date.

Pros: The location is good, the place look amazing, a lot of graffiti and art works around the hostel! The rooms could be a bit nicer, but they’re pretty good in total.

Cons: It could be a bit loud and crowded sometimes (people from outside as well..)

Pros: I love the idea of the hostel, I think it's really cool place, and I think it has the potential to be better. The staff were nice, comfortable beds and a great location.

Cons: The breakfast wasn't so good. Just eggs and cheap toast, no juice or tea. I think they could easily add a drink to make it more enjoyable. (Not just coffee as alot of people don't drink coffee.)

Pros: Location

Cons: The stuff were not professional and did not take us seriously. We weren't showed the bathrooms nor the kitchen (because the staff didn't seem to actually care) and so we ended up using only cold water in the showers, which was awful. Plus, we booked a 4 bed room and when we got there it wasn't available and we were charged for it anyways. There was no apology and no special treatment for that. We were overall very disappointed and will not come back.
