Medellín Hostellit

Plussat: It was the best hostel l’ve ever stayed. It felt like a hotel. It was so comfortable. The best WiFi connection ever, great shower, there was even a hair drier in the room.

Miinukset: The breakfast was very poor. I ordered eggs benedict and it came with pork bacon which was not written in the menu. I was very disappointed because l waited for it loooooong time. I don’t eat pork. They must have informed people in the menu. Menu doesn’t give any information about what is inside the eggs Benedict, so l told them about it and l wanted to change my menu they told me l can’t change it so they just removed the bacon and the rest was only bread and poached eggs, it was quite expensive for just a poached egg. Also they put me in a wrong room when they did my check in. So it’s better if you ask again if something feels not right to you in the room. They must be more careful. Last thing is there wasn’t any free coffee or tea. Overall it was a good experience with Selina Hostel. First time l stayed in Selina Hostel.

Plussat: The common spaces were awesome at this Selina!

Miinukset: There were no curtains on the beds which I’ve really appreciated in the other Selina locations I’ve visited

Miinukset: small rooms uncofortable, minimal isnt what i was expecting

Plussat: Its nice place to stay and meet people in the common kitchen. Comfortable beds. Working WiFi. Location is bit weird. Didn’t really like it but close to many bars. Everything around is for tourists so pretty expensive.

Miinukset: We booked beds with curtains and got a bed without them. But staff without hesitation change our beds. We booked this place to be able work on our laptops and we knew there are beautiful common areas but nobody tells you it’s coworking and you have to pay for it. So basically you can sit only in kitchen area, reception area or in the bar with super loud music all day. Not really able to work anywhere. If we knew we had to pay extra money for the common areas we wouldn’t come. But the place is nice and we met nice travelers there. Drinks in the bar are super OVERPRICED, tried 2 and wasn’t really good. Each dorm room has bathroom but the doors makes so much noise its easy to wake up everybody but it’s the same for the main door. Not so well equipped kitchen.

Plussat: Value for money, but a very tiny private room we needed to fit in. Apart from that a very comfortable place to stay with kind staff and good facilities.

Miinukset: Value for money, but a very tiny private room we needed to fit in.

Plussat: Good for backpackers, young travellers, several activities, the bar outside. Good internet

Miinukset: This was my 3rd visit the last 3 years and it is becoming an unpersonalised franchise, more suitable for non Spanish speaking young visitors with low expectations. 60USD / night for a room with no window is not good value. They don't have a phone to call for enquiries before arrival, despite the central office gave me several numbers to call none work and the reception confirmed had no phone. Not hot water one of the days. Breakfasts used to be better.
