Geohostel was the best $40 hotel/hostel I stayed in during a tour of Peru/Colombia/Bolivia. The accommodations look exactly like the website, computers with internet are available at no cost, the rooms are modern and clean, with hot water! Area wise you could not have picked better, as it was only a short walk to the main square with all the... More

Geo hostel is the nicest hostel I've stayed in out of 7 months in South America! Although pricier than other hostels, the facilities are much nicer. There's a deck with a jacuzzi (but the water is cold), hot showers, clean bathrooms, communal kitchen, wifi, and breakfast included. The staff is super friendly, the location is great, and the atmosphere is... More

This was seriously the best hotel I've ever been to. Very clean, everything looked brand new. My friends and I stayed in one of the dorm rooms and had a very comfortable couple of nights. It's located only a couple of blocks away from Parque Lleras, where most of the bars and clubs are. The staff was very friendly and... More

Nice and new hostal in zona rosa, with a jacuzzi on the roof, but, don't think about to use it - the water is cold. You have free internet, but the anti-virus-protection is not good... the comps are very slow... you need patience. Breakfast is ok.

This is a great hostel. The room was far better than most hostels we have stayed at in South America and priced very reasonably. The hostel could easily be mistaken for a four star hotel. There is a Jacuzzi upstairs as well as PS2 and sound system. Great Location very close to bars of the Zona Rosa. While our room... More

This hostal is definately one of, if not the cleanest hostal in the world. Tiled throughout it is cleaned top to bottom everyday by friendly staff. The top floor has a cold water jacuzzi, fine for Meddellin which generally has warm days and a big screen TV and playstation 2. I stayed for a number of weeks in a dorm... More

This hostel is amazing. Clean, with very helpful staff and owner. I wish all the hostels in the world were like this. I would recommend it even to people who are looking for a hotel, as they have great private rooms.

Geo Hostel is very new and modern, which is a welcome change from most budget hostel/hotel facilites I´ve encountered so far in Colombia. A major positive are the computers/free internet access (which is v fast). There´s also a very nice common area upstairs, with flat-screen TV, patio and jacuzzi. Breakfast was included in the price (and was decent enough -... More

Geo Hostel is like a hotel at hostel prices. The whole place is really clean and well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The only downside for me was that it wasn't so easy to meet people as I had a dorm room to myself and there weren't many people around. I would definitely recommend it for... More
