    Nothing worth mentioning

    The hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed in. Housed in a charming old grand house, it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly, approachable, and always willing to help. The breakfast is excellent, and the location is fantastic, being close to the D1 supermarket and within a short distance to other amenities, bars, and restaurants in the center. This family-run business provides outstanding service and genuine hospitality.

    I did spot a cupple of cocroachs (mercifully outside the room) and a few mosquitoes who fisted on me. Fans above the bed were a plus, but no furniture at all made it hard to organize efficiently. Breakfast is included, but ranges from very basic (pancakes) to insulting (industrial bread and cheese, I kid you not - nothing else), depending on the day. It is impossible to get good temperature in the shower. It was ever shifting between scorching and freezing, giving you only a few good seconds in between.

    Staff was very kind and helpful, especially Ainara (sorry if I misspelled your name 😅). Mostly clean. Location was very good, close to the main Botero square and a few museums. For 35.000 pesos a night, I'd say it's quite good.

    There weren't many other guests there.

    Really clean and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Each dorm bed has it's own curtain, outlet, fan, and light. Super cool set up for the price. Hammock, chill space is cozy.

    If you are alone, maybe it's not the nicest to walk alone during the night to the hostel. Look for company.

    Amazing looks and relaxed personnel. Super clean and delicious breakfast. Also close to a nice foodmarket where you can eat anything you like. Super close to the center and supermarkt.

    The surrounding area made me feel not super comfortable as it is very close to a small greenish area which is well know as a little park where you better not go. I always got an Uber which it makes super complicated when it comes to the point about just grabbing “fast” food or something else.

    The hostel itself is nice. Looks good and got nice accessories. Breakfast is very very basic (tea, coffee, toast, butter and jam). In my opinion better safe the money and eat outside. The people are nice there. It was a warm welcome. The private room is okay. Unfortunately was our room directly next to the bathroom and common area and without a proper wall it feels like you sharing the room with others.

    Their Booking profile got hacked so I got scammed through their messages. But it all turned out ok in the end. The common areas are fairly small, especially the kitchen. Also, in the morning there is loud music coming from the restaurant which is close to the coworking area.

    The hostel is amazing. One of the best I've been to. The breakfast is great, different every day. Coworking space with good WiFi. Good location.

    I liked everything about the property! My favourite hostel to date. Super friendly and welcoming staff, very modern and clean (apart from when male guests were pissing on toilet seats and leaving their beard shavings all over the sinks - sort yourselves out), amazing to have a coworking space and strong WiFi, also appreciated the super fast laundry service, the chilling areas with hammocks, and the sofa at reception, loved that the breakfast was in the restaurant (which has wonderful staff, menu and music) but that there was also a fully equipped and spacious kitchen. The vibe is very chill and mature, so if you’re an older backpacker or working while travelling, I definitely recommend. One downside is the bunk beds, they are not bolted to the wall, so they wobble a lot, and stuff can fall down from the top bunk onto the bottom one, only one socket beside bed which is needed for the fan. Top tip is the empanada place round the corner, to the left when you exit, super filling and 6 delicious sauces.

    However, the surrounding areas are dangerous and bad. Lots of homeless with noise at night. My iPhone almost got robbed (~7pm) just a few blocks away from the hostel.

    The owner and the staff there are really nice, friendly and helpful.

    When you are in a dorm that is in the second floor, you will only sleep when absolutely everybody in your room os sleeping, since the floor is made of wood and your bed literally trembles when someone is walking in the room. Everything shakes a lot

    Great breakfast and cool staff. Very clean and new infrastructure

    Staying downtown has pros and cons. You might feel insecure walking at night.

    The house is beautiful, the staff is amazing, they really go the extra mile to keep everything clean and tidy. I love staying here and highly recommend it if you are looking for a quiet place to stay and live the downtown experience (different than Poblado!)

    This will be my new go-to hostel every time I go through Medellín!! It's not the best area of town, but the quiet, clean cozy atmosphere inside made up for that. The bed was super comfy, the room was quiet and clean, the bathrooms and showers were clean, there is a wonderful coworking space where i was able to work along on some projects, the staff was kind, friendly and attentive. They have laundry service and there's even a restaurant at the end of the hall that serves delicious food!!!! This will be my spot everytime I go through Medellín. Thank you 🙏❤️😍

    A bit loud at night because it was so close to the street. No AC in the rooms, but it turned out fine. Some tours don't offer pickup in the central medellin area, which is unfortunate.

    Good location in central medellin, but keep in mind many people stay in the Poblado neighborhood. I didn't care as the center was closer to the places I want to see. Comfortable bunks with light, outlets, and fan. Had lockers, and decent breakfast that was actually different each day. Hot showers which was great. Had free drinking water. Close to some street food and metro station, as well as the bus station from the airport.
