About

WHY ARE YOU READING THIS?
Don't you realize you're wasting valuable drinking time?!!

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". 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. Want to put on a dress and call yourself Susan? Hey it's all good.

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.

Good location, good showers. However, pretty dirty (the beds), couldnt close window to our room (everybody could see in from the hallway, plus light shining bright at night), loud (you could hear a lot from the toilet and the corridors). Bathrooms were occupied often - albeit not the staffs fault.
