The Wandering Paisa Backpackers Hostel Reviews

What a fantastic hostel! A very homey feel and the nicest staff and owners. Well equipped kitchen and nice public areas.

Great place, nice to hang out at the bar of TV room and a good place to meet people. Close to the subway so you get everywhere quick. Hostel organizes all different kind of theme nights which good fun.

Really nice place, and great people working there.

Friendly helpful staff

The Wandering Paisa was the first stop on my trip and I could not have asked for a better start. The staff were warm, friendly and very helpful. The place was clean and taken care of. It was great to hang out and meet people while not being a crazy party hostel where one cannot get any sleep. The beds were super comfortable, although the plastic on the mattresses were a bit weird and loud. But I am assuming they wanted to protect the mattresses from people sweating and the like.

Overall, this a great hostel. The employees are extremely helpful and courteous. I enjoyed the open mic nite and 3 Cordillas Colombia microbrew on tap. I hear they are going to do more renovations, adding a 3rd floor; nice addition since the 8 bed dorrms can be a bit stuffy. Thanks for all your tip Brent! Good luck to you and Myles in your business venture! By the way, you might want to recruit more women for your salsa lessons....Iam secure with my masculanity like the next guy.....but.....!

After traveling for a few months you long for economics to correlate with preference. The Wandering Paisa was a fantastic example of this! There's always something lacking at a hostel stay and Brent and Miles' hostel didn't leave me lacking at all! Welcoming and knowledgable staff! Great bar! Great place to chill out inside and outside! Clean facilities--finally a hostel kitchen that just had it all! I'm really glad we booked with them! We'll even be coming back! Thanks for everything you guys!

Fantastic hostel with fantastic people, including the brother owners. Best hostel I've stayed in South America!!! Very comfortable beds and lots of bathrooms!

Bright and friendly hostal located within walking distance of major Metro connection and Sports stadium. Dorm rooms are all S.American themed however very small. Isolating fans provide some circulation, the beds and pillows have plastic waterproof covers that make alot of noise. Kitchen is fantastic as is the chill out hammock areas and 'castle'/rooftop terrrace. Hot showers, good WIFI throughout and friendly staff that run different events most nights of the week.

The best hostel I've stayed in. The staff, the facilities, everything.

Clean, friendly, fun, warm & fuzzy. Good kitchen. Nice hang out area. Good safe neighborhood. Good matresses.

Great experience at TWP. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly, the beds are shockingly comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the bar cheap! The staff organized events for guests, and there was almost always something going on. It's a short walk to the metro and although it's not in the touristy Zona Rosa, there are places to go out on la Setenta. Stay here! I cannot recommend them strongly enough.

A good language exchange with locals popping in and karaoke. Staff was very helpful except for keeping noise down late at night.

The hostel is NOT close to Zona Rosa!! It's 8km by cab to Zona Rosa! Positive: Very friendly staff, WIFI good, close to supermarket, restaurants, Metro, nice rooftop. Not so good: No fun when I was there. Stayed for New Year's. No New Year's dinner etc in the hostel, bar closed, so went to city center to Pitstop hostel (New Year's dinner, nice pool, bar area etc) to meet others for New Year's eve. Nice if you are looking for quiet and far out from city center. Bad smell in bathroom (private room

This was a great little "start up" hostel with all the right things going for it! Plus there's the yummiest restaurant right on the corner!

The staff was so friendly that I really felt at home at this hostel. They gave me all the information I needed to explore Medellin. In addition they have social events at the hostel and I actually met some fellow travelers who joined me on my day trips. Had a nice en-suite room and spend 3 nights.
