- No on-site parking listed — The hostel doesn't list parking, so travellers with a car may need to find public parking nearby.
- Price may not include breakfast for all rooms — While some reviews mention breakfast included, it's not listed as a guaranteed amenity in the input, so check when booking.

7.9Verified guest“I stayed a few nights on my trip to Medellin. The beds were very comfortable, and the showers were the best I've had in South America. The hostel was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was really good. Staff were super friendly and always ready to help. Location was perfect – metro and great restaurants just a 15-minute walk away.”
7.9Verified guest“Good location close to parties and bars, with easy access to supermarkets, coffee shops, and restaurants. Comfortable beds and good Wi-Fi. Staff were helpful and knew the area well.”
7.9Verified guest“The showers were incredible – new fixtures, strong pressure, and properly hot water. The hostel was exceptionally clean, cleaned multiple times a day, and it was a pleasant surprise not to have bunk beds in my dorm. The beds were super comfy, ensuring a great night's sleep. Even though it's near lively Parque Lleras, my room was quiet. Laundry services were available and the staff were very accommodating. Perfect location with great restaurants and cafes nearby, shopping centres within reach, and the metro a short walk away.”
7.9Verified guest“I stayed for a week to explore the city. Facilities were nice and clean, with comfortable beds and hot showers.

I loved the privacy curtains on the beds and the well-equipped kitchen. I had a great experience and would recommend this hostel.”
