Selvática Alojamiento Eco

Chilled hostel

Aspectos positivos: The staff team very helpful especially the volunteer Sophia who spoke good English and gave me good tips on getting around.single beds not bunk beds

Aspectos negativos: Nothing all was good

Aspectos positivos: The room has storage space, and a table/chair. It was clean. The place has a well equipped kitchen and some common areas where one can chill, including a terrace.

Aspectos negativos: Overall the place is very nice and comfy. One comment that we can leave here is re the laundry service where we were told it'd take a few hours till the evening to get our clothes back, however due to rain (which is completely understandable) it wasn't possible. But no one communicated that to us. We had to enquire via WhatsApp (never answered) and in person a few times. In the end we only got our clothes back mid day next day which affected our travel plans. Better communication would have been appreciated.

Aspectos positivos: Our second stay at this hostel. Very comfortable and clean with a great kitchen that has enough kitchenware to ensure you can cook easily and quickly. This hostel is super quite as well. Great location as it’s right in between two metro stations which are about 5-7 mins walk away. Wifi is great . If we return to Medellin, this is where we’re booking.

Aspectos negativos: Wall hooks in the rooms. We need somewhere to hand drying towels and/or rain jackets after a downpour. Instead we used the TV as the drying rack.

Great friendly clean place to chill whilst enjoying Medellin.

Aspectos positivos: The main selling point for us before booking was how well located this hotel/hostel is to either metro station Suramericana or Estadio. It made arriving and getting about that much simpler. Supermarkets are close by as well, with everything you’d want to buy to cook in there kitchen. If you’re into eating out, then the tacky 70th avenue is close to Estadio with plenty of local options. The room we had (Perezoso) for the week was super comfortable and clean. Great value. Pillows were firm, bed was comfy and noise from other rooms was minimal. Bathrooms were cleaned daily, along with the kitchen. The kitchen had pretty much everything you’d need to cook your own meals. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Long story short we’d stay here again in a snap.

Aspectos negativos: Hooks - for drying towels after showering and any wet clothing (after a downpour) is a must. Pity there weren’t any in the rooms.

Close to the metro station

Aspectos positivos: Shared kitchen with access to a fridge. Close to a metro station.

Aspectos negativos: The door to another room seemed not very well protected. Noise coming through that door from neighbours talking.

Aspectos positivos: Stayed in the deluxe double room which is actually a self contained apartment separate from the main hostel. It has a kitchenette, lavaropa and clothes hanging area and a table to eat at but doesn't really have a balcony as its on the ground floor. We still got a key for access to the main hostel area, terrace etc. Everything felt really secure. The staff are super responsive and friendly. Perfect area in Estadio - really quiet residential area but close to metro stations, big supermarkets and walking distance from calle 70 which is pretty wild in the evening if you're into that. We stayed for 10 days!

Aspectos positivos: comfortable room, bathroom with hot water (not common in Colombia), great terrace, cool location (very close to the metro station), veeeeery nice owner

Aspectos negativos: the kitchen could be better equipped (more dishes)

Aspectos positivos: Great location next to shops & some restaurants while being away from the tourist trap of El Poblado - near the Metro but also walkable to Central. Kitchen & bathrooms were very tidy. We ended up extending our stay 1 night but had to move rooms (& floors) - kitchen really well equipped on L2, bed VERY hard, saw almost no one. Roof access on L3, bed much better, kitchen not as well stocked, more hostel-y vibes. Not a social hostel! But enjoyed the stay.

Aspectos negativos: Wasn’t much of a vibe. It felt more like a hotel or long term accommodation. Just depends what you are looking for! Staff do not speak English so Google translate will be your friend if you do not have Spanish.

Indeed great value accommodation in safe neighbourhood

Aspectos positivos: The owner is welcoming lady, location seems safe and there are supermarkets in the area. There is well equipped kitchen so you can cook. Room is just as described and spacious, huge wardrobe, bathroom is shared. I almost didn't see neighbours of the floor. Fast wifi. Location is good, few minutes away from Metro branch. There was HOT shower - apparently random thing in Columbia Kitchen and Bathrooms are kept clean all the time.

Aspectos negativos: Loud neighbour (of the building nearby) and since windows are always open you will hear everything (not loud in general but noise happens occasionally). Can't blame accommodation. A couple of hangers in the wardrobe would be great.

Aspectos positivos: Great location close to the metro, friendly staff, great laundry service, hot shower
