Black Sheep Medellin

Aspectos positivos: Ideal for solo travellers on a budget - great kitchen and social areas, clean and in a great location near the main area of Poblado but down a quiet street so not noisy at night.

Magic in Medellin.

Aspectos positivos: Everything! Very friendly staff ( reception and housekeeping) throughout my stay. Spotlessly clean. Very helpful advice as to where to eat, go, use the metro etc. The owner is onsite and runs a very tight ship. Good kitchen, bathrooms and bedding. Highly recommended

Aspectos positivos: The place is excellent: very cozy, not too big, and perfect for meeting people but also for chilling. That really feels like the main vibe of the hostel. Another major strength is the staff, especially the receptionists. I met all of them and chatted with everyone — they were absolutely helpful, pleasant, funny, and buena gente (as they say in Colombia). The place is clean and overall I highly recommend it, especially if you are traveling alone.

Aspectos negativos: The level of the bedrooms was not adequate compared to the standard most hostels have nowadays, especially the beds. Mine had very old sheets and the beds looked generally old, not very sturdy, and quite basic. In my room it was difficult to get good ventilation, even with the windows open 24/7, and this is something I also heard from other hostel mates.

A wonderful stay in a very friendly hostel with great helpful staff too.

Aspectos positivos: A wonderful hostel in every way. Clean, modern and well laid out with several different common areas to chill including a roof terrace. Very friendly vibe and a big table ensured everyone was included. Staff was so helpful as well.

Aspectos negativos: All good, no negatives

Aspectos positivos: Great social hostel with kitchen and great facilities

Aspectos negativos: Location is a bit random but you can get cheap Ubers

Aspectos positivos: This was my second stay at this hostel—my first was almost 9 years ago! It’s a super social place without being a full on party place and the location is great too. The room and bed is really comfortable, and the whole place is spotless. The staff are always friendly and helpful, just like last time. Plus, the beers are cheap, which is always a bonus!

Aspectos positivos: Usually dont write reviews. But this was sooo amazing! Loved the staff and the travellers here

Great loocation, friendly people, plenty to do

Aspectos positivos: Well located in Poblado, a smart end of town. The metro is in easy walking distance as are a couple of nice little restaurants and supermarkets close by..The South Bus Station is a short taxi ride away. The neighbourhood is safe and leafy green. The staff are friendly and helpful with advice on where to go and what to do. There are different common areas to meet fellow travelers or to sit quietly and relax. There's a good kitchen if you want to cook. I ended up staying here much longer than planned. It's great.

Aspectos negativos: All good, really. I enjoyed everything.

Good value for money & social

Aspectos positivos: Staff were super lovely, kitchen was decent (although some of the hob rings didn’t work very well!), location felt very safe and there were lots of different areas to chill out in. Beds were comfy and room I was in (6 bed dorm) was a decent size with lots of lockers and a nice bathroom. Hostel was very social but felt like there were areas I could hide away in if I felt like I didn’t want to socialise.

Aspectos negativos: Only 1 small fan in the room so bedroom was pretty warm at night

Stay here

Aspectos positivos: A very social hostel with a nice kitchen, located in a safe area not too far from supermarkets and restaurants. Receptionists were awesome and very friendly!! Easily one of the best hostels I stayed at during my 9 week trip through Colombia :)

Aspectos negativos: No curtains for the bunk beds.
