WHY ARE YOU READING THIS?
Don't you realize you're wasting valuable drinking time?!!
Free Breakfast!
Best location!
This is the bit where we try and persuade you that our hostel is the best, with generic expressions like being "perfectly located" and "the comfiest beds in the city". And the most beautiful but stuck-up cat, Suki. We can make all these claims, but the only thing you need to know is that we will never:

-Give you up
-Let you down
And most importantly,
-Run around and desert you

OK, so you're waiting for the hard sell. Well we have it all here. The biggest roof terrace bar in Medellin with the best graffiti you've probably ever seen in your life (check out the photos).

Every bed has 4 (yes 4) plug sockets including two in your huge locker. Our dorm rooms are spacious and ample to swing a cat in (we suspect that you could swing a tiger in there but have never tried).

For those who hate the idea of human interaction, our 2 WIFI networks give access to important information like what kind of potato you are, and you will never be left in the dark about what your friends have had for dinner.

Want to book a tour? Easy. Want to be 5 minutes from the Metro and nightlife? Done.

Still reading? It's time to make that reservation and get back to more important things. We have a lot of preparing to do before the zombie apocalypse.

had an amazing time in the hostel. everything was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. about the anonymous Indian girl - they where obnoxious and kept on pushing the receptionist who was trying to find a solution for the missing clothes. the hostel staff did the best they could! We had a great time and would always come back ✨

Very disappointing experience. I found cockroaches, the staff forgot my English-speaking tour booking and also failed to keep my reserved bed, forcing me to pay extra for a private room elsewhere. Most seriously, my laundry was lost, with clothes worth over $300. After repeatedly asking for a solution, a staff member became aggressive and police had to intervene. I was eventually compensated only $100. Poor organization, hygiene and unacceptable handling of a serious issue. I would not recommend
