    The place is located near the Metro station, many places to eat or party, located on the city center and easy to move on foot.

    Double bed in the family room was very firm and uncomfortable, but not a big deal given the price and other amenities.

    Great location, 5 mins from the metro and close to lots of good food options/stores. Staff were so helpful and friendly with great local tips. Great value for money! We got upgraded to a huge room - had everything we needed.

    The room furniture and the bathrooms are really basic. We didn’t really meet other travelers so keep in mind it’s not really your typical social backpacking hostel

    Good hostel, held by a very nice old lady. It was clean, calm and easy going. There is a kitchen with everything you need to cook and ample space in the fridges. Nice chill area with couches and hammocks.

    This was the least private "private" room we've ever seen, with a window through to the common area and directly adjacent to the laundry room there were constantly people coming and going sometimes late in the night. The kitchen feels inaccessible from the upper floors. The hot water ran out quickly during my showers. The bed was uncomfortable and the room was very small. Overall this place is a good value but if you want a room with actual privacy I would look elsewhere.

    Excellent location on a quiet street near the metro station and estadio, numerous restaurants and bars in walking distance, clean and spacious. The lady who runs the place is nice and helpful.

    As others mentioned, no soap in the bathrooms, feel it would be easy to put some in. And also the shower in the bathroom flooded the floor with water when someone used it, so can be slippery and a bit dangerous

    Location is very good, just a few minutes from a metro stop so easy to get around, and close to lots of restaurants. The room was spacious and comfortable. There was a kitchen, although we didn't use it this time, it looked well equipped, and there's free coffee. The restaurant attached does a nice breakfast in the morning.

    Not a big thing at all, but our room had frosted glass windows towards the downstairs kitchen and another bathroom next door, which meant that light came into our room at night if anyone was using the other spaces. A curtain could resolve this?

    Nice clean guesthouse in good location on a residential street close to restaurants. Helpful owner. Lovely cats and dogs also live here! Complimentary coffee in the mornings was very good. This was great value place to stay - it felt more authentic given the building style and location, and it was nice to sit at the balcony looking out onto the street outside.

    This was a lovely hostel to stay in for a couple of nights in Medellin! Our flight was delayed and the owner was very kind and let us check in horribly late. The hostel itself was clean and had cute decor. We also loved the breakfast (I think it was my favourite out of all the accommodation we stayed at in South America!). It was in a convenient location and was a very short walk to a subway station that had links to the centre. I would definitely recommend staying here!
