Vida Hostel

Aspectos positivos: Relatively quiet street but close to nice food, sports, pubs and parties. Roof top kitchen.

Aspectos positivos: Clean, great location, staff was always available and super friendly and helpful. It was my wife's first time in medellin, and Esteban left a meaningful note and a chocolate welcoming her. She was very grateful, and it made her day!

Aspectos negativos: Honestly we liked it all. The price was a bit on the higher-level but the quality and location piad it out.

Very good stay

Aspectos positivos: Very nice room, tv with Netflix, very large king size bed, air conditioning, relaxing vibe with nice communal areas.

Aspectos negativos: Not a large communal kitchen space for the amount of people in the property

Aspectos positivos: Location was excellent. Value for money was fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful allowing us to print bus tickets and helping with suggestions for food etc.

Aspectos negativos: The cleaners start at around 6am and are extremely loud chatting to each other outside rooms. They could do with cleaning the bins in rooms / changing towels if people have longer stays.

Single comfy bed in a shared room, plenty of desks for remote work for digital nomads

Aspectos positivos: 1. Single and conofrtable bed in a shared room (instead of bunk beds) 2. Plenty of shelfs in the room to allocate belongings 3. Receptions opened 24h (I arrived at 4am there and I could do check-in at that time) 4. Plenty of desks in the common soace for work 5. Very clean shared kitchen 6. Terace 7. Kind staff

Modern, clean, compact room providing excellent value for money in a central location in El Poblado.

Aspectos positivos: Excellent, hot walk-in shower, comfortable beds and modern a/c that purrs. A variety of lighting too and a good amount of furniture for such a compact room: bedside tables, storage shelves and a desk and chair. Also work spaces outside on the landings. Reception helpful. Within walking distance of a metro stop.

Aspectos negativos: It would be good to have a TV that shows local channels, rather than a TV that is just there for streaming. Also, on the third floor, the worktops were way too high for the chairs provided. It might also be worth considering a couple of sofas in the common areas, rather than having all workspaces.

Good place for a night or two, not for longer

Aspectos positivos: Good for a night or two, beds were confortable and the shower was probably the best shower we have had in South America. The area around it is very nice and you find heaps of options to go out for dinner.

Aspectos negativos: Staff was a bit short-spoken, we didn’t really feel welcomed. The hostel wasn’t very social and felt more like a hotel.

Modern hostel

Aspectos positivos: Clean, modern, good hot shower, good location, well organised. Nice communal balcony area.

Aspectos negativos: Needs more hanging space in the rooms.

Aspectos positivos: Good and safe location.Many cafes and restaurants nearby. Value for money. Friendly staff.

Aspectos negativos: I stayed in the 4 ppl dorm and it is located in the ground floor. You will hear door opening and ppl checking-in noise in the mid night. The pillow is too soft.

Wonderful stay thanks to the amazing housekeeping staff!

Aspectos positivos: Wonderful stay thanks to the amazing housekeeping staff! Our experience at the hotel was absolutely fantastic, and a big part of that was thanks to the incredibly kind and thoughtful housekeeping team. Every day we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine friendliness – it made us feel so welcome and cared for. The rooms were always spotless and fresh, with little personal touches that showed real attention to detail. But more than just doing their job, the cleaners brought a special warmth to the place. Their kindness truly made our stay memorable. It’s not often that housekeeping makes such a lasting impression, but here they were the heart of our experience. Thank you for making us feel at home!
