Liked: Kelvin, the owner of the hostel, is really helpful in giving advice what one should and could do around Medellin. He knows Medellin quite well and does not depend on contracts with other firms to sell stuff to tourists. The showers are the best you will find in whole Colombia. The hostel is really clean. Another plus was that one can party, but it is no party hostel. Like that travelers who got to get up early will get their rest. Check the BBQ on Sunday. It might be that I ate my best steak on my trip in Medellin and not in Argentina as expected first...

Disliked: ... nothing really... I would go there again.

04 October 2011 Noel would recommend this property

Liked: Pretty much everything was good about the stay. The staff are great, there are a few common areas to help mingle with others and the Sunday barbecue was terrific value. A short walk from Parque Lleras and Poblado Metro station make this a good location to explore from but the quiet neighbourhood means you won't be kept up all night (unless you want to).

Disliked: Nothing. For party animals you might prefer something right at the Zona Rosa.

Liked: Very clean and modern hostel. Good kitchen. The owner Kelvin is very helpful (although some might not understand his dry Kiwi sense of humour!). Lots of information on what to do. Located only a few minutes walk from a host of decent fast food places. The local salsa school is also very good if you want to take dance lessons.
