The 7 Best Hostels in Medellin (Updated 2025)

"Located in the upscale Laureles neighborhood, I found this a fun, affordable hostel with dorms covered in South American and Colombian cultural artwork by local students; each bed has a large locker and a privacy divider and the pillows are notably comfortable. The kitchen has the basics, the Paisa Bar and sundeck host local musicians, and the terrace often features live bands. They run lots of free events (Spanish lessons, salsa classes, karaoke, stand-up comedy, open mic), so it’s a socially lively spot where you can also get decent sleep thanks to the privacy features." - Matthew Kepnes
