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.
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.

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.

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.
Nothing worth mentioning

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.
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.

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 🙏❤️😍

Clean design inside, nice restaurant/bar, good location to downtown, easy check in
It’s downtown so a bit sketchy outside, If you haven’t traveled much, you might perceive it as unsafe. There was no common area to chill. Just a small breakfast area, a couch in the check in area And a small desk area for ‘co-working’ but no where to stretch/chill/workout etc

Loved the style of the Hostel. Rooms very comfortable and very nice common space outside of our room which we utilised very well.
At first the location can be very daunting. You're unsure where to go and what to do. There wasn't any background given by staff when we first arrived. It was only after a few nights we realised what potential the area has. Many locals are extremely friendly, but you do need to know and understand the area. An information leaflet of places to go would clear up all of this. We wanted to stay in the area as much as possible, but you're just extremely unsure. Also we were looking forward to the social aspect of a bar at the hostel, but this is not your typical hostel backpack. Lovely restaurant and bar, but $39000Col for 2 beers is very steep for what was advertised as a bar in a hostel.

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.
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.

The hostel is really nice with pretty details and decoration. The place was very clean and the breakfast was good. It's a nice place to stay at nights too when you don't want to go out anymore. The Hostel lies wothin walking distance to the main attractions of the city but for most tours you have to travel to El Poblado.
Our room had no window for fresh air so we had to leave the doors open. Also we didn't feel very welcomed by some (just some!) receptionists, especially communicating in English was not always possible.
