Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.

    It's located in a nice area of the touristic Poblado area, away from the nightclubs and trash. The area felt safe, there were many restaurants and coffees around. The bar/restaurant of the hostel itself had tasty dishes and good drinks. Prices were touristic though... It's modern, the bed was comfortable and the ensuite bathroom in the dorm helped. Some activities at the hostel were fun.

    The hostel itself is nice. Looks good and got nice accessories. Breakfast is very very basic (tea, coffee, toast, butter and jam). In my opinion better safe the money and eat outside. The people are nice there. It was a warm welcome. The private room is okay. Unfortunately was our room directly next to the bathroom and common area and without a proper wall it feels like you sharing the room with others.

    The Hostel has a great terasse as a public common area. The kitchen at the terasse is hugh, so that is a very comfortable place to cook. It also is a great Co-Working space or just to hang out. The area is very chilled. The Hostel is located next to some sport courts so that it seems like a quite safe area. It is close to Laureles, a good area to stay in Medellín. The people staying there were open and friendly. They are offering a cheap laundry service.

    I have to say this is the BEST hostel Iv ever stayed at in my life. The location in El Ponlado is superb there is so much greenery around the areas it’s so nice. I felt really safe as a solo traveller and it was so easy to meet people there. On the roof top they have two hot tubs and each night there is something going on. Maria and Viviana were so nice and welcoming as were all the staff at the Viajero. free drink on arrival too what’s not to like. My room was super clean and comfortable and for sure 100% il be back ❤️🇨🇴
