What an amazing place. If you want to be away from it all and chill out this is the place to stay. The garden and hostel is amazing. The staff and owner were really welcoming and helpful. Their urban buddha hostel is nearer the action but equally as lovely.

Lovely hostel, lovely staff but too far out from the city for me.

Amazing place. Far from Medellin but if you want to rest and go out for dinner or parties is the perfect place.

Be prepared for the fact that you need to take a bus and a train to get into the centre of the city, although it is very easy the metro does close down about 11pm so there are unlikely to be any late nights partying unless you book one of the tours. Owner really helpfull and willing to dispense advice. Also check out Urban Buddha if you want to be in the centre of things, same owner, just different location.

This is a great hostel which I couldn{t recomend more. It is in a beautiful building with great character and personality. Inside there is everything you need and lots more. the staff did so much to see that we had a great and safe time. All in all it was a perfect experience, I will be returning.

I loved this hostel, it was out of the city a little but only a 30 minute ride away by metro and bus, the hostel is more like a boutique hotel than a hostel with the best communal areas I have ever seen.... i went out late one night in medellin till 4am, no problem getting a taxi back for 22,000 COP. if you stay here you wont be disappointed.
