The staff was very nice, however some of the directions we were given were not correct which was frustrating. This hostel is in a great location and there were fun people staying!

The rooms really stink of dirty clothes/bodies, since you have no windows to bring in fresh air you really need to find some way to deal with this.

This must be one of the best hostel experiences I have had. The staff- which were all very friendly and attractive- set a great atmosphere. The cleanliness, location, safety, value, help, drink prices, etc were all fantastic and I would highly recommend it.

really appreciated them letting us get a bed when our bus got in at 5am! the hostel was pretty much empty while we were there but otherwise had a good bar and tv room so id imagine in higher season it has a good atmosphere, casa kiwi down the road was good for a few drinks at night in the bar.

Our stay would have been more positive if we actually slept for the 2 nights we were there. We had the worst positioned room, which was located on the street, had the communal area outside and the bar below. We could here everything. People were partying in the hostel until the early hours, even though there are notices to say to keep quiet after 11/12. The staff were more interested in partying I think......

Super Lage! Die Bar stimmt gut auf den Abend ein... Jedoch wenn so lang geht, dann kann es auch in den Zimmern noch recht laut sein, jedoch wenn du in dieser Zone in Medellin unterwegs bist, dann solltest du auf lange Nächte eh vorbereitet sein. Ist ein guter Mix zw. Party Hotel und trotzdem etwas Ruhe! Würde auf jeden Fall wieder hier herkommen! Super nettes Personal!

Tiger Paw was okay. Bathroom was clean and the staff was helpful to set up tours, but much else. Bar was cool, and it's close to a lot of food, expensive food. The staff was extremely loud in the mornings, beginning at 630 am. For that reason I would not stay again.

Good hostel, breakfast NOT included. Kinda dead when I was there but I hear it can be very social with the right crowd. Location is excellent for shops and restaurants on Calle 10. Also really close to Casa Kiwi and across the street from Crepes and Waffles.

The hostel is loud, no fridge on the private rooms, which are dirty with roaches, spiders and some other weird flying insects. The shower is only hot at night, when no one showers, in the mornings it may be warm at best. The happy hours are on the wrong hours for the owner to make any real money. The private rooms are really bad and old. I paid for one with 2 beds and they gave me one with a single bed and they charged me double. No AC on the rooms, just a fan. overall, not coming back.

Tiger Paw is perfectly located in the El Poblado area and is a 15 min walk to the Metro. There are some great restaurants, parks and stores in the area. Tiger Paw also has a great bar on offer with some cool chill zones on the front patio and on the roof. The staff are friendly and professional and are always around to assist with offering recommendations or booking you a day trip. The breakfast is simple but delicious. All in all, Tiger Paw offers great value for a good price.

Staff were absolutely fantastic. Alex, Estefania and Lorena were all incredibly helpful whether it was regarding tours or local bars/restaurants. Not a place to stay if you are looking for a quiet night's sleep. If you're looking for a party, Tiger Paw is the place to go. Location is great, right in Poblado and close to the bars of Parque Lleras, as well as Metro. Bedrooms/bathrooms nice and clean and showers hot and powerful.

The singles with private bath are damp furnaces - I had one, also spoke to people in the other 2. Noise is a similar issue until 4a, starting again at 8a because of breakfast. That being said, the price and location are right, the staff knowledgable (if not terribly friendly), and the atmosphere social. Huge caveat - this IS a North American establishment (US/Canada both), both the owner and the clientele, so if you have problems with Americans you might be better off elsewhere.

The team at Tiger Paw is great. They have around the clock service, an in hostel bar, and food. The travelers there are usually friendly and we made a lot of great friends. The area is the best area in town, and I felt safe in and around the hostel at all times. We were recommended this hostel by friends and we were not disappointed. The rooms and bathrooms were clean. Book early, because the place books quick. Next time I come to medellin, I'll def be staying at the Tiger Paw. Enjoy your stay!

Kitchen was tiny and the music in the bar was too loud, especially since it was a sunday.. But a lot of computers, close to going out and in a good neighbourhood. Staff weren't the most helpful though.
