Cleanest hostel I’ve ever been in, located near metro

I stayed here last minute as everything in Medellin was booked or really expensive. The neighbourhood is out of the way but walking distance to the botanical gardens which I really enjoyed. Facilities were clean enough. Wouldn’t stay here again.

We really liked this hostel - very quiet, don’t stay here if you want to meet other travellers, but we found it a great place to stay. Clean and peaceful and very friendly staff. Would recommend!

Probably one of the cleanest hostels I‘ve been to and I had a dorm for myself because there were nearly no other guests so that was nice. The kitchen is also really well equipped and good to cook at.

muito bem localizado, próximoamelhor linha de metrô, em um bairro seguro, próximo de vários estabelecimentos. o quarto era um pouco quente, e se deixássemos a janela do banheiro aberta, insetos pequenos (baratinhas?) entravam. o lugar era limpo, imagino que vinham da rua. Não é um hostel agitado, nem muito preocupado com integração, mas para descansar é muito bom.

Es un excelente lugar para quedarse los anfitriones son muy amables, hay servicio en recepción 24/7, tambien hay tiendas y farmacia en la entrada, hay dos estaciones del metro a 10min caminando, por lo que la ubicación es genial. El hostal es limpio, y en el segundo piso hay zona social sea para almorzar o descansar y conocer a otros viajeros. Tambien la cocina estuvo limpia todo el tiempo y disponible para el uso en el horario acordado.

Very nice hostel! I was lucky and got a whole room for myself, which was very nice :) Alba and the other employees were super nice and helpful! It’s not the most social hostel, but I would still definitely recommend! The location is super good :))

Great hostel with lovely staff. They stayed up til 3am to check me in!!!!!!! Dont stay here if youre after a social vibe! Its quiet and out of the way. Metros are near and very easy to use though :) neighborhood felt more authentic than touristy areas which was cool! Very very very clean!!!! :))

When I arrived I had left luggage in an Uber. Felipe (on the reception) could not have been more helpful, helping me charge my phone, working out how to call the driver when there were issues with my SIM and explaining the situation in Spanish to the driver. I really appreciate his kindness!! The hostel overall had a really chill vibe and very good price for what is offered

Cleanest hostel I’ve ever stayed at. Super close to the planetarium, botanical garden, and parques norte y explora.

We really liked this hostel, especially for the location. It was extremely convenient to be so close to the metro. We also enjoyed staying in a not so touristy part of Medellin. Downstairs from the hostel there are multiple stores for coffee, juice, and Colombian pastries like empanadas. It is also a short walk to a larger shopping center that has many small restaurants, grocery store, and an ATM. At the hostel our room was comfortable and clean. We definitely recommend to others!

Hello, Les + : la literie très confortable, la propreté de la chambre, la gentillesse des personnes sur place. Les - : toilettes sales, la localisation qui ne permet pas de sortir le soir. Notre guide nous a dit qu’on était pas dans un quartier très safe.

I enjoyed my experience staying at the Medellin Backpacker Hostel. It was very quiet, chill, and clean. It's definitely a hostel to just chill and relax it since it isn't super social. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. Only thing is the dorms do get pretty hot and humid at night and the showers are a little small. Other than that though, I enjoyed my stay.
