This hostel was recommended by the lonely planet and its easy to see why. Owner Kelvin was knowledgeable, friendly and clearly enjoys what he does which gives the hostel a relaxed and welcoming feel. We stayed in a double room with en suite which was immaculately clean. There was always a pot of coffee on the go for guests, a... More

the black sheep is a kiwi run hostel in el poblado, medellin. best price value in the neighboorhood. its close to many bars and the zona rosa, but if you want to sleep you will have no problems. very friendly staff. close to the metro and exito supermarket. avoid the dorms down stairs: bed bugs!! and hide your food!

Pros, Nice Reception Good Location Easy access to diferent transport methods Average price for the rooms cons, Taxi Drivers and people seem to have problem to locate it usually full (but not noisy)

The hostel is lovely, the staff really nice and the owner a top bloke. The problem is that they allow (and legally this is correct) people to smoke in the patio, the front of the hostel and on the balcony which means almost all day and up until around 11pm at night the hostel gets filled with cigarette smoke.

We stayed for 5 nights here and have no complaints about the hostel or the staff. The double room we were in was lovely with a bloody great big telly and nice shower with hot and cold running water, even the bed was comfy. There is a fan in the room which serves the aircon purpose perfectly, and plenty of... More

Myself and 3 friends stayed at Black Sheep hostel twice during our travels in Colombia. Despite turning up last minute all with different room requirements, the owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The private rooms are great. The dorms are fine. Theres plenty of indoor and outdoor social areas and the Sunday BBQ is delicious! The kitchen is nice and... More

I stayed here solo for three nights in a private room with its own bathroom. At 50,000 COP this was a good deal for a "basic" room with a fan (A/C was not necessary)-- they have larger rooms for 10,000 more with a TV, but who needs a TV when you're staying in a hostel? Good variety of guests from... More

We stayed in the Black Sheep in early January and really enjoyed our stay. After sampling two other hostels in Medellin ( Casa Blanca & Pitt Stop) we found this place to be a little gem and extended our stay to six days. The owner, Kelvin is on the front desk and he is on hand to provide any help... More

I stayed 3 nights in Black Sheep in a private room and had a very good time. Nice common places to hang out and meet new people. Room's spotless, however beds not made every day. Fully equipped kitchen and very helpful and friendly staff. Location could not have been more convenient. Would stay again.
