Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is probably the best hostel we have stayed at in our time through almost 50 countries. The facilities were great, we had laundry delivered back to our room the morning after we put it in. There was lots of information about different tours, which were all easy to book at the travel counter. The room was massive, the bed was so comfortable, the shower was amazing. It is on the edge of El Poblado so it's only a short walk to nightlife but being a few blocks away means it's safe and quiet. I would comfortably live here!

    The Hostel has a great terasse as a public common area. The kitchen at the terasse is hugh, so that is a very comfortable place to cook. It also is a great Co-Working space or just to hang out. The area is very chilled. The Hostel is located next to some sport courts so that it seems like a quite safe area. It is close to Laureles, a good area to stay in Medellín. The people staying there were open and friendly. They are offering a cheap laundry service.

    This was the best hostel experience I’ve ever had in a big city. We felt at home right away - thanks to the coziness of the hostel with its great location but even more chill backyard that makes you forget you’re in the middle of the city. But most thanks go to the awesome staff, especially Jimena for welcoming us and helping us out with any question we had. And the transformation tour organized bY the hostel and guided by Ricky was just perfect.

    The best hostel in Medellin! Safe area, nice neighborhood and great staff. Kitchen and social area are compact but this doesnt' matter when you have such a nice environment and good people to meet. Bedrooms are really good, everything extremelly clean (no kidding). Ricardo is always thinking about improving the areas so it is definitly worth going. I stayed 10 days and I would stay much longer! I miss you guys already! Gracias por todo Ricardo!!!
