About

Hola! At Casa Kiwi Hostel we've been hosting backpackers since 2005 at the best location in Medellin right on the edge of Provenza, with tons of bars, clubs, and restaurants right out our door. Come check out our 5th floor rooftop nestled in the trees with great views, free weekly yoga classes, a small pool, and a bar from 4pm til midnight where we host local musicians and an open mic night every Wednesday, beer pong, and karaoke. We also have a great hammock area, a movie theatre with a big-screen and DirecTV satellite reception, a guest kitchen with free coffee and tea, and another bar on the first floor with a pool table.

There is a mini market right across the street from the hostel where you can get everything you need to use our guest kitchen.
The nearest Metro station (Poblado) is located 15 min walking.

We have options for every traveller's budget: private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, private rooms with shared bathrooms, and dorm beds. Each dorm bed has its own locker; all you need is your own padlock. And all of private rooms have a small safe.

There is high speed Wi-Fi internet access available throughout the hostel. We can print your boarding pass for free in our 24 hour reception. You don't need to worry about arriving too late or early, there is always someone to help you out if you need to book tickets, tours or provide information about the city. If your departure from Medellin is later in the day, or you are arriving earlier than our check in time, you are more than welcome to use our common areas.

We hope to see you here soon!

Positives- Convenient location for restaurants/bars, felt safe, the pool table & cinema room were great. There’s lots of communal space to relax. Negatives: Noise!! You could hear music until 4am every night & our room bordered on a bathroom (room 9) which was noisy too, there was no fan which should be an essential in every room and there were no hooks in the room or bathroom near us - despite it being mentioned in other reviews - so nowhere to hang wet towels or clothes.

It could do with some updates in the rooms like hooks (to hang things) there wasn’t any hanging space and as it rained quite a bit this caused an issue. plug sockets were too far from the beds for phone charging, in this day & age is essential, & also the individual beds could’ve done with small bedside lights. This is the only hostel I’ve been to that hasn’t had individual bedside lamps. Sometimes there weren’t enough bathroom facilities which isn’t ideal when you need the toilet
