It's in the poblado area so you can hang out in the parque lleras or in the other party hostels, probably the place to land in when you just got to medellin for a few days before moving deeper in the real city life. Nice staff, very clean, quiet , safe, a good hostel

As my first pick was overbooked I ended up staying here. I had my private room. The nights are really quiet (no cars on the street, no party in the hostel). Its location allows you to walk to the clubs, restaurants and a small supermarket all within a couple of minutes. The owner is super sweet and speaks fluent Spanish... More

My girlfriend and I stayed in this Hostel for a week. We wanted a quite and clean place near to the Parque Lleras, the party district in Medellín, and this was a very good option. We stayed in a private room with private toilette. The room was very tidy and the whole hostel was quite. Staff was friendly. A really... More

Great location, only a 5 minute stroll to a bunch of restaurants, bars and discos for nightlife, but secluded enough to get a quiet nights rest. Only a ten minute walk to the el to see the rest of Medellin. I stayed for 4 days, flew to Cartegena, and then returned for 3 nights. If you want a frat house... More

Staying in the zona rosa (popular going-out area) of Medellin isn't cheap, but this place was a lot of money for few benefits. Four of us (2 couples) had to share a room with a double bed and a bunk bed because anything else was way out of our price range. We paid 100,000 COP (about $50, very expensive for... More

After arriving in Medellin without reservation, we took the taxi to this hostel which was recommended by a tour guide in Manizales. We were well received by Natalie, who informed me she was the owner. She was very nice and informative, and it was not possible to bargain with here as in many other places in Colombia. But fair enough,... More

OK, let's be thorough here. I and two others arrived and were handled with care by Natalie at 5:45 am this morning. But after being woke up(after I had tip-toed with care prior) by a loud dorm mate three hours later, I went downstairs to check in/register and was treated like garbage. It wasn't Natalie but maybe her mother ...not... More

We stayed at Hostal Tamarindo, after a few less comfortable places in Colombia, and were absolutely delighted. Natalia runs a terrific, spotless and comfortabley place with all mod cons. Best hostel kitchen in Colombia. She is extremely helpful and pays great attention to her guests. Even the dorm in which we stayed one night, is very comfortable.
