In our four months travelling through Central and South America, this is the most dreadful hostel me and my boyfriend have stayed in. It actually has nearly ruined our visit to Medellin. I write this in our tiny box room with paper thin walls, while the management, owners and seemingly permanent lodgers, who have captured the main common area directly... More

This people stay in one of the rooms closed to the bar and even though they did alot of noise with ther skype calls in the morning afecting other clients, she made a big deal for the evening music. The funy thing is that mayority of the hostel was having a BBQ that night next the bar, but they wanted... More

I came because it was rated high. It is a very nice house in a very calm place and it gives you a grate price for the El poblado. Service was nice also. Unfortunatly it was not clean enough and the bed was not confort so I hade to change the next day,

A dirty, dark, miniscule rooms, dreadlocked animals who play godawful guitar songs until 4 am every morning and dont stop if you ask them, filthy bathrooms, rock hard beds, almost perpetually out of toilet paper, ramshackle hell hole. The local staff are nice, the three foreigners are smug and pay no heed at all to their guests need to sleep.... More

Stayed in a not-so-great private room. The small room only has a window (can't be opened) to the passage, and is located right opposite reception. There is a mini-ventilation shaft which is meant for some fresh air circulation to the room, but the mini-ventilator was more noisy than effective. On a positive note, temperature for sleeping was relatively moderate, as... More

This place compare to others is cheaper, cleaner and nicer, definitely! Staff is wonderful and you feel there like at home. The kitchen is small but clean and with all the things you need. Rooms clean and comfortable. We'll go again!

I ended up at this hostel because Black Sheep Hostel and Casa Kiwi were full. The private room had a mattress that was so bowed and lumpy it not longer fit in the frame. Two of the beds in the 5 bed dorm (the fifth being a mattress on the floor next to the bunks) had dirty sheets on them.... More
