61Prado Guesthouse

The place is safe (inside) nice and staff is super nice and friendly. Unfortunately Prado neighbourhood is not the safest area in Medellin and is not recommended to walk at night. I had a great stay but I wouldnt come back.

The guesthouse is lovely, convenient to the botanical garden and the central sights. It is a taxi ride away from the action at Poblado. The food is great, breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is a gorgeous roof terrace but breakfast is served downstairs, although one could just bring it up there.

Friendly staff. Excellent food in intimate dining room. Not a good area to walk at night.

We chose this Centro neighborhood to be out of the EL Poblado Tourist Area, so we knew that this wasn't a neighborhood for walking at night (not a problem to take a cab here). Very near to the Metro (but not the greatest walk from Metro to hotel in the dark). Some local places to eat and plenty of cheap street food. Other reviews said the staff was very helpful, while we found them to be very polite, they were rarely around and no-one spoke more then a couple of words of English. A little broken spanish and translation app enabled communication. If you need to speak with someone in English, this isn't your place. The windows look into the building, so not a lot of light, if any. Bathrooms are clean and tiny. Wifi worked. 3 options for breakfast were 9,000 COP and adequate if you wake up starving. If you want good coffee, you'll need to go out. Should I return to Medellin, I'd look for a place with a little more charm.

61Prado is a classy hostel for international and local travellers. It isn't a place that the 20-something backpackers go, which is refreshing. We met people from all over Colombia and Europe. The foyer and dining areas are very well appointed and comfortable. Unfortunately, there isn't really any place to socialize and hangout. We generally met people when we were eating. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The food is excellent and affordable. The rooms are simple and comfortable.

The staff was very accommodating. The price was right. The food was good.

How many owners interact with their guest and make sure they have everything they need? Not too many! Luke is there nearly every day and the hotel in ran efficiently. We don't speak good Spanish yet, but had no problems at all. The food was wonderful. I have a filet and eggs in the morning for less than $10 American. The location is safe and convenient to the Metro, and you can be anywhere in town for a few dollars. We'll return soon.

We wanted a comfortable, relaxed place with easy access to metro and this place was perfect. We loved the food, staff, rooftop terrace and our room was spacious and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

Booked about 5 days originally but loved it so much that I decided to spend Christmas here. The minute you walk thru the door you are amazed at how beautiful it is. The food is delicious and really cheap. The breakfast is awesome, my last hostel gave such a small amount of food and coffee that you felt hungrier after you ate, not the case here, they are really generous and it is so reasonable. Also just a couple blocks to the metro and centrally located! Perfect for me. Also a block from the metro toward the guesthouse, great cafe for a cheap $3.5 menu del dia, huge portions, great food.

Conveniently close to some of the tourist attractions in the center, but area is near a neighborhood that is a bit dodgy...especially at night. Definitely take a taxi after dark. Hotel is clean and has a small, but decent restaurant on site. Staff was helpful in booking excursions or calling taxis.
