Property Description

WHY ARE YOU READING THIS?
Don’t you realise 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).

Our British owner has lived here for 5 years and backpacked all through South and Central America and is like the Yoda of all things Colombia. Ask him anything (apart from where babies come from – he’s still not too sure about that one. He has a theory about a stork but we digress).

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 hostel in pretty good el poblado location. Free breakfast is good but a bit repetitive. Thought it was strange that the showers were upstairs but they had lots of space and great hot water

Good location and okay staff, but the room was awful because we had no window so the room smelled like sweat and we were next to the kitchen which ment waking up every day at 7am. The location is great but don’t expect an amazing stay

This property is brilliant. In a great location. super clean accomodation. good vibes in the rooftop, social hostel but not party hostel so not noisy. The reason it isnt a 10 is because there is no pool but i knew this before booking, other than that great hostel would stay again!
