Guest Reviews

• Dualquis (9/5): -
• fontalvo (10/5): - La atención, todo en general muy bueno.
• Magdeleine (6/5): Chambre petite et trop chaude - Les espaces communs étaient agréables et propres et le personnel très serviable, et le café en libre service La chambre était toute petite sans aucune aération ! Nous avons passé les pires nuits de notre séjour à cause de la chaleur ! Il y a seulement un ventilateur mais ducoup qui brasse que de l’air chaud
• Kelly Johanna (5/5): -
• Joris (8/5): -
• Thomas (7/5): Decent but I wouldn't go back - The staff was super helpful and welcoming. The neighbourhood is full or bars and restaurants and seemed really safe to walk around. The dorm itself was basic but the only plug I could find next to my bed was hidden on the side of the bedframe, meaning I had to move the whole bed to charge my phone. Not ideal. Although not really the hotel's fault, the bathroom was filthy because of the other guests. There was water everywhere, hair, dirty shoe prints, ... Maybe the bathrooms should be cleaned more often?
• Liliana (9/5): - Era un lugar tranquilo
• Andres Felipe (10/5): - Excelente
• Gawel (10/5): -
• Marin (10/5): -
• Monica (6/5): It was a mediocre experience. - The location was good, things were clean and cleaned regularly, the volunteers at the front desk were amicable. The room I stayed in, a private, had pretty windows and the beds were clean. The person who checked out right before me took the key to my private room. I don't know how long before my reservation they knew about this but, they didn't inform me until I arrived. At that point I was not offered another room or a return of funds. I paid $150 for the room and when I asked for $50 of that back the owner offered to give me back a much lower amount or to give me my full amount back but I would have to leave and find other accommodations. For the days that I was there when I was in the room I was able to lock it but, when I left the room I would store my valuables in a locker, they provided, and I would have to remember to leave the door unlocked. Honestly shit happens, and the situation itself wasn't awful. It was the owners handling of it, especially telling me I needed to leave if he gave me back more than the equivalent of $13. Also, they have minimal shared bathrooms, so there was always a wait.
• Eduard (10/5): - Tot molt bé!
• Adrian (10/5): - El personal súper atento, un lugar tranquilo de descanso. Café muy rico. Que no me pude quedar más días jajajaja Todo sin errores, buen sitio, recomendadisimo.
• Octavie (8/5): L’hôtel est très bien placé et le personnel est très accessible et disponible. C’était un super séjour passé dans cette -
• Elisabet (5/5): Si cambiaran un par de cositas sería ideal - La ubicación perfecta tienes supermercados, restaurantes, etc. El barrio increíble muy bonito y cuidado. Por otro lado, Santiago súper amable y atento . Nos alojamos en la habitación doble que está ubicada dentro de la cocina. Es una habitación sin ventilación, con muchísima humedad y no tiene aire acondicionado. Con el calor que hacía se creaba un clima cargado con mal olor a humedad. Tenía abrir constantemente la puerta y poner el ventilador fuera para ventilar. Por otro lado, la cama no era muy cómoda, envuelta de un plástico que cada vez que te movías hacía ruido, y las almohadas, ultra finas, que eso y nada era lo mismo. Tampoco podía cambiar de habitación ya que tienen habitaciones compartidas y queríamos baño privado. Y por último, a partir de las 10 de la noche siempre había ruido alto.
• Mauricio (10/5): Dicha - El baño de ese cuarto es ESPECTACULAR, no me canso de decirlo Nada... Jajajajajaja... En las tres veces que los he visitado todo ha estado perfecto
• süsser (9/5): Alles Prima ! - Alles Prima ! Die Plastikbettbezüge unter den Bettbezügen sind irgendwie unbequem .
• Valerie (7/5): - The hostel was very well located and the owners were very nice, as they were just taking over the hostal I think they were still in a transition period. My room had a balcony which the whole hostel used so many people walked through the room, which is ok but maybe is nice to know in advance. Furthermore most the people there were volunteers and not as many travellers so it didn't have too much of a hostal vibe....
• Natalia (10/5): Muy buena - La zona donde está ubicado es muy linda y tranquila Las chicas que ponen en recepción como son extranjeras no saben indicarte a cerca de lo que puedes encontrar cerca o de cómo ir a ciertos lugares
• licet (1/5): Terrible - Este lugar de residencia no es para nada serio, primero llaman a confirmar reserva para después cancelarla sin dar explicación, son súper groseros y no avisan con días antes, sino un día antes de que llegues a Medellín, no reserven en este lugar , 0 recomendable Este lugar de residencia no es para nada serio, primero llaman a confirmar reserva para después cancelarla sin dar explicación, son súper groseros y no avisan con días antes, sino un día antes de que llegues a Medellín, no reserven en este lugar , 0 recomendable
• Gerson (10/5): -
• Gonzalez (10/5): - El personal es muy amable y están dispuestos en ayudar en todo lo posible. Es una zona muy tranquila y organizada. Ubicado en una excelente ubicación. Totalmente recomendado.
• david (9/5): -
• Carrillo (10/5): -
• Anny (6/5): -
• Yira Elizabeth (10/5): Buena calidad en relación con el precio - Ubicado en un sector bonito y muy tranquilo, cerca de puntos principales. Además tenía una buena relación calidad-precio en la habitación individual. El personal era amable. La cama en la habitación individual que estaba cerca de la cocina era un poco dura y las almohadas no eran tan cómodas. Sin embargo fue precioso para dos noches.
• Juan (10/5): - Los recepcionistas fueron muy amables y me ayudaron en todo lo que necesité. Todo estuvo excelente
• Vivas (6/5): -
• Gustavo (10/5): Comodidad. - Los espacios.
• Jon (7/5): They need to deal with the smoking problem - Cute hostel. Nice crew. Plenty of restaurants and places around. Beds were comfortable. Late night lots of people were smoking in the common area and also in back right under the window to the room. All the smoke ended up in the room. I was wheezing at one point. They should ban the smoking in the back area and have them smoke in the front patio outside away from the rooms. The smoke in the room was a deal breaker.
• Alexander (1/5): Pésimo servicio por parte del serñor que atiende Orlando - Me echaron como un perro por el concierto del artista que está en Medellín, no me informaron en la tarde que gestionara otro lugar para pasar la noche, cuando ayer el señor me dijo que si me reservaba otra habitación para pasar la noche de hoy. Mal servicio al cliente
• Gregory (10/5): - The location was perfect! One of the nicest places in Medellin.
• Eduard Arlez (7/5): - No se especifica bien si las habitaciones son compartidas con personas desconocidas.
• Tabak (5/5): -
• Bertrand (10/5): - Confortable et le personnel est très agréable.
• Luisa Fernanda (10/5): - El personal muy atento, prestos a ayudar, muy buena zona, segura, bonita, de fácil acceso.
• Stephanie (9/5): -
• palacio (7/5): -
• Dominique (7/5): Budget over comfort - The staff was really nice and helpful. The Kitchen and common spaces were great. The Room was sadly badly ventilated for a room without windows. The bed and pillows were uncomfortable. To less bathrooms for the amount of people.
• Vargas (10/5): -
• Lucas (7/5): Great for solo travelers in dormitory - Location is great, safe neighborhood with a lot of bars & restaurant at walking distance. Shared space are nice, beautiful house and the staff is very nice & helpful. Free tea & coffee in the morning. The double room we had (I believe the only one in the hostel) was suuuper small, with no windows. We could barely walk around the bed & we had literally no air to breathe. The bed wasn't confortable, the bedsheet was too small & the cushions were in a plastic cover making awful noises.
• Salvatore (9/5): - Il personale estremamente gentile
• Stefanie (10/5): ruhig, sauber, gute Lage - Bequeme Betten Super Lage Ruhige Gegend Sauber Ein Bad ist besonders groß und klasse
• Jefferson (8/5): - Otimá localização, o quarto muito confortavel e a estrutura do hostel é muito bacana. MInha amiga estava em um quarto compartilhado com outra moça, um voluntario que estava trabalhando no hostel tentou entrar no quarto para limpar, mesmo elas avisando que o banheiro estava ocupado, o rapaz abriu a porta do banheiro (que não tinha tranca) e só saiu quando viu que minha amiga estava no banho, foi uma situação bem constrangedora. Avisamos na recepção sobre o ocorrido.
• Michael (10/5): Bonita estancia - Demasiado bonito y bien ubicado
• Yenith Isabel (3/5): -
• Wail (9/5): - Super personnel, cuisine très bien équipée, emplacement dans un très bon quartier à proximité de commerces, extérieurs excellents, lieu très propice aux échanges. Thé/café à volonté mis à disposition en journée également. Nous recommandons totalement. La fenêtre donnait sur la cuisine, ce qui n'était pas pratique pour aérer. Il faisait donc très chaud malgré le ventilateur.
• Paul (8/5): - Très bon emplacement, réception super sympa et arrangeant. Chambre ok (lit pas super confortable mais ok), salle de bain commune au top (grande, agréable, propre). Cuisine grande et équipée Literie moyenne
• Ben (8/5): Great stay! - Really good vibe in an amazing spot. Staff were friendly and a great way to meet other travellers. Could have been another shower/bathroom. There’s no pictures of the private rooms so a bit of a lottery which one you get.
• Bruno Filipe Gomes Silva (9/5): -
• Herrera Peña (7/5): - Excelente lugar y ubicación Las habitaciones son algo pequeñas y no tenía vistas al exterior
• Esteban (7/5): -
• Ivan F. Montero C. (10/5): - La atención y amabilidad del personal
• Pål (10/5): Exceptional - It's a nice low key hostel, with very friendly staff. I was planning to stay here for a week, but ended up staying for two months! Highly reccommend if you are looking for a place that is social, but not too social, not noisy at night, and that has very friendly staff. Orlando and Ginny especially are amazing hosts.
• Marc (9/5): Superb - This is my third time. Love Orlando & co. The owners. But it's a beautiful house, turned into a hostel, so it can get crowded. Best time to be there is off season. A+.
• Uriel (7/5): n/a - n/a n/a
• Sarah-maude (10/5): Home away from home - It was interesting to be hosted in what used to be a luxurious local house. It was very enjoyable and made the stay very unique. I also had a great time and the staff was always present to make sur everything was fine. They were genuine people and heartfelt people, I definitely would have stayed longer Maybe the pillows were a bit too flat and the mattress was hard and noisy, but i still had great night of sleep
• Alina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aaron (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lara (10/5): Exceptional - Wow, the staff is really friendly and makes you feel like home!! We liked the location. Its a calm and a local area. Its easy to reach other areas with public transfer. Be aware that the private rooms are really basic (no window and small) but due the price its fair.
• Son (10/5): Chill place in Medellín - Very clean place, good kitchen, nice staff. I liked the area, the hostel itself and the hammocks in the courtyard
• Nika (9/5): Superb - The hostel is beautiful and clean and it has a big kitchen and a nice community area. It is located in a very nice neighbourhood, everything you need is quite close.
• Zahra (9/5): Superb -
• Christian (10/5): Wonderful - First of all is the neighborhood, Laureles is perfect for walking. It could be called El Jardin (The Garden) it's that beautiful and warm, often with a cool breeze. The location of the hostel is convenient to shops, restaurants and cafes.
• Nancy (10/5): Exceptional - Nice, friendly hostel. Very comfortable dorms. Good common areas. And, I was so happy to find 123Wok Asian food restaurant a very short, safe walk from the hostel.
• Tadas (9/5): Superb -
• Daisy (9/5): Superb -
• 종순 (10/5): Exceptional - The place is awesome. We had a great time. There is everything we need. And the staff is very nice.
• Osvaldo (10/5): Exceptional - the customer service was nice! the pillows were too flat
• Carly (7/5): Lots of potential! Safe location. - This place has a lot to offer. The location is great and the staff are very friendly. Hot water and good WiFi too! I checked out 2 nights early as the beds are ridiculously uncomfortable! I have travelled around the world and these were quite unbearable. This is also not a problem but might be something to consider it you are a solo traveller- lots of people stay here long term so it was difficult to meet anyone. Also there was a broken window in my room which let in loads of mosquitoes.
• Georgina (3/5): You get what you pay for but I would not stay here again. - Lovely staff, really helpful and attentive. Good location too, felt safe Really dirty. Bed sheets not cleaned from previous private room occupant. Bed horribly uncomfortable and so noisy it was difficult to sleep.
• Senna (8/5): Great stay :) - Perfect location and super friendly staff. The hostel is peaceful and the staff makes sure it stays that way, which is nice. The kitchen is huge and has everything you need to cook a decent meal. The bathroom is also spacious and everything is very clean! I felt very at home here. Our private 2 person room didn't have a window, so it got very hot at night. Luckily there's a fan in the room, but if you're a light sleeper I wouldn't recommend this room because of that. The shower didn't always get warm, but I feel like that's a thing in all ho(s)tels in Colombia. If you take a shower early in the morning, it does get warm.
• Meher (10/5): Best hostel in 7 months backpacking - Best hostel in 7 months backpacking: - location: in a calm street in a great fun neighborhood, and the hostel is right in front of a police station... so super calm, super safe - The bathroom attached to the room I was in was huge and had a shower and a jacuzzi like bathtub. Kitchen fairly well equipped, common area available, Orlando the manager is a super cool dude speaking perfect English. Hostel super calm at night. It really deserves nothing but love. Awesome value for its money Nothing
• Arthur (9/5): Superb -
• Biju (10/5): Wonderful place! Lovely atmosphere, clean, accessible and friendly:) one of my favourite hostels -
• Stuart (8/5): Very good -
• Julia (9/5): Great chill hostel, bad wifi for working. - The hostel is very chill, the staff is super nice and helpful, it’s in a good location - very safe! Everything was clean and the kitchen has lots of good amenities. The WiFi was terrible for working remotely and having meetings. I lost 3 meetings and then had to go to the nearby grocery store to work the rest of my time there. Luckily the grocery store has great wifi and lots of cafes and tables to sit at, but I do not recommend for digital nomads looking for consistent connection :(
• Davide (9/5): Wonderful place in a safe area - The structure is excellent, high quality, looks like a good rated hotel. Extremely polite host. Wonderful toilet (but only 1 available). Safe neighborhood, even at night, with a mall at 5 minutes. Possible to do laundry (20k for a small basket). Free instant coffee in the morning. Very nice courtyard with hammocks. Wifi isn't working well in the courtyard. Lockers only in the courtyard. Only one toilet. I didn't feel safe walking back at night from the nearest metro station, Floresta (for the first 20 minutes of walk, then it becomes safe). Better to step out at Estadio, even if it is further away.
• Andrew (10/5): Great value in Laureles - Great location, clean, friendly staff, cool fellow travelers No complaints here
• Raven (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessi (10/5): I lived the staff and talking with the othelers. The staff was very helpful and gave good suggestion - The friendly staff and the people staying there. The staff was very helpful and when they could not answer a question they asked another staff member. The fact that after 10 PM it was not very quiet. The first night it sounded like cleaning was going on. The second night the TV and or music as not turned off at 10 PM. It was in more to 11 PM. The guy snoring in the hammock under the window/door to my room.
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eric (10/5): - Tout le personnel est super sympa, donne de bons conseils pour visiter Medellin et ses environs, et raconte bien l'histoire de leur ville et leur pays. L'hôtel est dans une rue calme du beau quartier Laureles. C'est propre, les parties communes sont bien équipées, l'ambiance est très conviviale et on croise des voyageurs de toutes nationalités. Merci à toute l'équipe
• Surnin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adum708 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Surnin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jane (9/5): Superb - Staff the night man especially . Clean . Quiet area affluent part of the city so safe. Large kitchen area which was very clean and trash bins which were emptied regularly. Only one bathroom upstairs for the large dorms. So could they increase that.
• Maren (9/5): Superb - Nice common areas, good kitchen and very clean! The two person bedroom is a bit odd located as it is directly next to the kitchen. However, everyone was quiet so it was fine and the price was fair
• Greta (8/5): Good for a short stay in the city. - Very nice and safe hotel, good staff. Super simple room but adequate for the price. Many restaurants around. Bed was very hard.
• Takya (10/5): The best hostel in Medellin - This property is absolutely stunning, with round-the-clock security. I stayed in a room with a balcony and it was delightful to wake up to the sound of birds singing in the morning. The staff went above and beyond my expectations, and this hostel is not a place for partying, but rather a perfect spot to network, be productive, and have a great time while in Medellin. I truly cherished my stay here and will always think of this place as my second home whenever I visit Medellin.
• Izabel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Claudia (10/5): Simply perfect! - Absolutely flawless experience! The proprietors and staff were exceptionally warm and accommodating, consistently available to offer valuable recommendations for making the most of your stay in Medellin. The hostel boasts an impeccable level of cleanliness, and the kitchen is hands down the best-equipped I've ever encountered in a hostel. The location is equally superb, perfectly situated in the Laureles neighborhood. Nothing
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional - This is the best hostel in Medellin if you're looking for somewhere a bit relaxed but still a nice social atmosphere in a perfect location, 2 minute walk to supermarket, atm, bus to get to the metro, malls, in a quiet and safe area! The facilities are 11/10, the best equipped kitchen I've found in a very long time, great showers, the beds and pillows are comfortable, nice hang out area. These are just the basic niceties of this hostel. The staff here is even more of a plus, John, Andreas, Catarin & other John are the most lovely and helpful people, this place really feels like a home. Thank you so much for everything! 🙏🏾 Absolutely nothing (:
