The 7 Best Hostels in Medellin (Updated 2025)

"I stayed at this small German- and Colombian-owned hostel and appreciated how clean and family-like it felt; there are just a few private and dorm rooms on one level and a roof common area with hammocks and the hostel kitchen. Breakfast is available (free if you book direct) with basics like bread, eggs, muesli, coffee, and tea, and every Sunday they do a famous barbecue of chicken, steak, sausages and all the fixings — it’s a simple, laid-back place where the owners really make you feel like family." - Matthew Kepnes

Natalie and the whole entire staff is more than nice and accommodating. This is the perfect hostel if your looking for affordable and quite. They have been so helpful and accommodating. I’ve never felt so welcomed and at home in a hostel. The staff truly cares about its tenants and they are so kind and welcoming. Natalie went above and beyond to help me, even with things outside of the hostel. Fully recommend this place 100%

This was a really nice hostel to stay at. The couple that runs the place were super lovely!! The location is incredible and you can get everywhere in the centre quite quickly on foot. There’s a supermarket only a few minutes walk away too. The rooms were quite nice but very very hot so needed air con rather than just a fan. The terrace is super chill and it’s a nice place to stay. Would stay again if they added air con.

Cons - no hot water even in showers - 6 bed room no window or air conditioning - sweat box - Bad WiFi in rooms Pros - Very well equipped kitchen - nice roof terrace - nice staff. - Good WiFi in communal areas Overall: Nice hostel with lovely staff but would not pay 60k COP/night again for no hot water and boiling rooms.

Great hostel. It's on the smaller side which in many cases makes it more social which I love. This is far from a party hostel, but we never had trouble meeting people on the rooftop. Showers were hot, beds were good enough. The owner Gunther is awesome. As a non Spanish speaker it was great to have someone who was fluid in English to ask about things to do. He booked us on multiple tours all of which were great. Fresh bananas upstairs and free breakfast are icing on the cake. I would love to see the rooftop stay open until 12 instead of 11, it makes it difficult to have fun unless you want to go to the bars. However, overall it was great and I can't wait to come back.

One of my favourite hostels I've ever stayed at. The staff at this hostel are exceptional, went above and beyond to help me with some issues I had with my motorcycle. I cannot say enough good words about the owners and the lovely receptionist. Such friendly and caring people. Thanks again for all your help, it wont be forgotten.

I stayed 2 nights and ended up extending 2 more. The owner Nathaly is so friendly and helpful! The rooftop is very nice. The showers (at least the one with the gray tiles) has consistently hot water. The overall vibe is this is not a party hostel (which is what I wanted). I recommend it.

I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels but this one was by far my favorite. The owner of the Hostel, Nathalie is happy to help with anything, the location is perfect, the staff, Milena and Anderson are AMAZING and so sweet! I absolutely loved the atmosphere in the hostel and I’m really sad to leave. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Medellin, don’t look any further, you just found the perfect hostel.
