Super für ein paar Tage

Super Lage zur Calle 70 und Metro

Das Einzelzimmer lag direkt neben der Lobby/ Freizeitraum, daher sehr sehr laut. Es wurde jedoch darauf geachtet dass nach 24 Uhr Ruhe herrscht

Overcharged - saying that I have to pay an extra charge for booking it on Booking.com

Clean place. Wifi was ok. Some staff was helpful. I would have liked it if the hostel had organized more events to get to know people. They did have a nice salsa class; besides that no other events to get to know other people. The bar area was closed.

I was overcharged (a lot). I was told is an extra charge for Booking.com. There is no such thing. Booking.com was indeed offering a discount and the hostel decided to charge me for that discount saying it was a charge from booking.com. For the price I paid, I would have stayed in a different hostel. This is not acceptable! I got there at 22:00 so I decided to pay and stay otherwise I would have looked and stayed in a different one. Some of the staff weren't very helpful, weren't offering much information about what was happening in the hostel or what could be done in Medellin.

Experience a little bit under what expected

The position is very good, close to the metro station and Carrera 70, with many restaurants and great nightlife

The room was too small for 2 people, and too close to the kitchen and the common area: too much noise during night hours

Good hostel, great location but a tad bit too warm

good overall hostel. Good location near the metro and they gave me a metro card to use. Make sure you check out a football game and use Didi, Uber and the metro to get around the city.happy I stayed in this area as opposed to el poblado

wasn’t happy that the 4-bed bedroom was significantly warmer than the 6 bed bedroom. The social environment wasn’t the best. the bathroom could be cleaner

Has excellent potential

Location is about 5 min walk to metro, stadium and shops. Area felt safe. Laundry was completed very quickly for us available at an extra cost in the hostel. There's a social atmosphere in the hostel, particularly for those who enjoy going for drinks and nights out. Despite social atmosphere in the evening, it wasn't disruptive and we slept well each night. Towels provided free of charge and hot showers

- There is no decision between public and paying guests. The bar is open to the public and while there is a small sign upstairs can realistically be accessed by anyone. There are no lockers for large bags and no keys rooms. There are small lockers provided however. - Despite the best efforts of the two cleaners the kitchen and utensils were not great. All utensils could really be do with being upgraded and there was stove between all guests. - Recreational space was limited. And often this space was given to extra guests as beds or the chairs were moved into the bar meaning we ewt our dinner sitting on the floor one evening. - Major lack of plugs in rooms, not all beds had plugs beside it.

Great location with a nice staff

The location is perfect. It's a few blocks off the main street so you have peace and quiet, but it's not so far that it feels desolate and dangerous. The staff is extremely friendly and even spoke some English. They even arranged my ride to the airport.

The rooms can be very hot with the window closed. There's a fan in the room to circulate the air, but if your roomies keep the window closed it's gonna be hot in there. Not really the hostel's fault, just a heads up.

Great stay, though different layout of rooms needed

I really enjoyed my stay here, it was easy to meet people on the language exchange nights and the location was great for Laureles, close to Euphoria dance school!

I stayed in 2 different 8 bed dorms and one was way way way too small. You couldn’t leave your backpack anywhere. That room should have had 1 bunk bed less! The bathrooms also always felt dirty, even though I did see them clean it (so might just be because it’s old?).

Pleasant

Friendly people, 24 hour reception, location was pretty convenient, liked the hammocks/communal areas

This would be a nice place if there weren’t so many people staying there. My room was pretty crowded and stuffy, the bathrooms became dirty quickly because there were so many people using them. They double booked my friend’s bed, even though she’d already checked in and left her stuff there earlier in the day, so she had to share a single bunk with my other friend as it was too late for her to go somewhere else by the time they told her.

Cheap hostel

Good location and socialable hostel when it’s easy to meet people.

The bathrooms are not clean. The cleaner spent most of her time on her phone. The kitchen facilities could have been better. It just looks a bit run down.

Good

If you're looking for a party, this is a great place. The location is great too and the beds are very comfy.

I wasn't aware that this is a party hostel. The window of my dorm was facing the on-site bar, which meant that it was impossible to rest until midnight or find a quiet place in the hostel at all. The walls between rooms are also really thin, so I could hear the conversations in the bordering room. Also, a lot more people than the 4 people staying in the room kept walking in and out of the room.
