Los Patios Hostel Boutique - The Best Hostel Medellin

I highly recommend this place. The staff was very friendly, sociable, and helpful. The rooms and facilities are great, but the best part is the unique experiences. I went on the soccer tour on Saturday and on Sunday I went to the Comuna 13 party in the evening organized by Felipe, where I learned to dance with a local girl and had a great time with Felipe and Estefanía. Thanks to them, I had a wonderful experience in Medellín and at the local party. I will be back someday for more parties in Comuna 13 with you guys. Thank you, Los Patios, and thank you, Felipe.

I stayed at Los Patios for 4 nights and 5 days. The staff were definitely super friendly, which I appreciated. However, my room was very noisy — I could hear everything from outside and the bar area, which made it hard to rest properly. They did change me to a less noisy room thou. I mentioned this to the staff, but was surprised by their reaction. They acted as if they weren’t aware of the noise issue in some rooms. After reading other reviews, it seems I was *gaslit* — it’s clearly a known problem. Pros: Top location in Manila, El Poblado — lots of restaurants and cafés around. A wide selection of tours available (I did few of them) Tours I Took -suggested and arranged by the hotel-: -La Comuna 13 – 85,000 COP -Free Walking Tour – Downtown– 75,000 COP-Tip -Free Walking Tour – Laureles – 35,000 COP Uber / 43,000 COP Tip -El Peñol (Guatapé) – 200,000 COP -Soccer Match at the Stadium – 220,000 COP -Bike Tour – 136,000 COP -ClubHopping to Provenza - 30,000 COP (avoid it if you don't like clubbing, loud music, crowdedness) My Favorite Tours (Ranked): 1. Free Walking Tour – Downtown (75,000 COP) (amazing tour guide--follow him: yes.to.colombia (ig) 2. Bike Tour (136,000 COP) (Juan Jo tour guide, great guy too) 3. El Peñol (200,000 COP) (the tour itself is worth it) 4. Soccer Match (220,000 COP) (you could do it on your own if you want) Hidden Gem (Did on My Own): Arví Park– 54,000 COP- Highly underrated. Worth the visit!- Check the hiking path! Tip: Always ask how many people have signed up for a tour. If it’s less than two (including you), I recommend skipping it — the experience might not be as enjoyable. Will I come back? I'm not sure. There are definitely more hotels in Medellín I’d like to explore. Is the best hostel in Medellin? doubt it. But cheerss to the amazing staff, 10/10 to them! Guys you made this hotel a better experience <3 Gracias amigos!

We took the guided night tour of Comuna 13 and really enjoyed the experience with the music and the locals. Thanks to Felipe and Estefania for giving us this experience; I have never seen anything like it in any of the places I have visited on my travels. They organized everything, from the moment we got into the car with Andrés until we left the neighborhood at dawn. Thank you for taking care of us all, and thanks also to the Patios hostel for helping us during our stay by providing us with pleasant rooms and good meals.

Staff were fantastic, so helpful. Beds were comfortable and private with good amount of storage. However the noise was so bad from the bar that I couldn’t sleep until it closed every night (11.30/12 every night! We were there Monday to Saturday). The windows have no insulation. The shower door was broken on the fifth floor bathroom so kept soaking the bath mat, no one seems to have noticed. One bathroom per floor is insane. I know there were en-suites but people from inside dorms would also use the bathroom, and staff, and visitors to the rooftop. I had to go up and down the stairs one morning trying to find a free bathroom and they were all occupied. Not good enough considering the price. Lots of activities which seemed good, the food tour with Christian was excellent

Great hostel in Medellín! The place is clean and the location is good. It felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Very social and attracts a great group of people, but also has places to chill away from the crowds. They also have a rooftop pool at their other location around the corner to use. The staff is amazing and they have a ton of events. Cristian did the cooking and cocktail-making classes and was a blast! Highly recommend the bar hops.

Excellent accommodation, service, location, and amenities. Juan, who does it all at the bar and with activities is excellent, welcoming, and makes delicious cocktails. It’s worth the money to stay and have fun there. The views from the rooftop bar also beautiful.

We did some tours from here, including the party bus which was fun. The kitchen was really good, probably our favourite so far. Only found out on the last day we could use the other building for the gym.

This hostel has everything you could ask for. But most importantly, it has very social, helpful and friendly staff. Fray helped us learn Spanish in a playful way and is an absolutely great addition to the Los Patios staff. All of the staff brought their own personalities, energy and vibe to the hostel. This made for a memorable stay. Social activities were also a big plus!
