I ended up staying here as I arrived on a Friday lunchtime and lots of places were full. I got the room on the street that is noisy. I was fully expecting to be up all night as I had heard there was a club below it. This wasn't the case, I'm not sure if it was closed that night.... More

First of all its a verry nice hostel! Clean, big kitchen, free coffee, fast wifi and best of all great showers!!! Biggest downside are the beds! The mattresses are so hard its like sleeping on bags of cement. I personal like hard mattresses but this was really to much and after two nights my backbone and neck wouldn't take it... More

Clean hostel with awesome showers! Towels included with stay. It's a homely cozy place unlike a party hostel. It's very conveniently located thus the noise from the road. Not suited for light sleepers, it didn't bother me. Hostel staff made known to us what we can use from he kitchen as many travelers have left food behind. They bother to... More

Wonderful clean hostel in the centre of El Poblado. Staff were helpful & friendly. Showers AmaZing! 3 bathrooms. Coffee on tap & papaya/melon son gratis. Only warning is if you are in the private rooms at back on a Saturday night as it sounds like you're in/on the speaker of a terrible minimal/techno club. Earplugs do the trick.

I stayed here in two visits, in total 4 times. I also stayed for xmas and new years eve 2012/3. Owner Claudia is very friendly and helpful. The kitchen well equipped and beds big and solid. The only minus are other visitors, usually there are many Japanese who are very respectful but if there're Latin Americans they tend to be... More

Stayed three nights and had a good time. Excellent location in Zona Rosa - close to bars, restaurants, cheap eats, metro and supermarkets. Pretty clean and tidy, good wifi, well equipped kitchen and nice communal area to chat to other travellers. Negatives are that the breakfast was only a plate of papaya and wasn't put out every day, definitely need... More

What I liked the most about this hostel was definitely its location. It's in El Poblado which is a really nice neighbourhood in Medellín, and it is easy to find transport to anywhere. Also, the women who work there are really nice and friendly, they were really helpful and caring since we didn't know the city. I stayed in Saman... More
