I visited Colombia for a couple of weeks in February 2012, and the Wandering Paisa was by far the best hostel that I stayed at during my brief time. I had three full days in Medellin, and the staff is the main factor that made this hostel so exceptional. All were extremely helpful and were fully bi-lingual (Spanish-English), which is... More

I was only able to stay in medilline for a few days but if I could I would have stayed at least a week at The Wandering Paisa. The hostel is well kept and run by a friendly staff who all speak English (plus a few other languages !) Its got a great lounge and a friendly bar on sight... More

Pretty cool hostel. When I was there, we saw problems with bathroom flooding and toilet paper re-stocking, I think because of some lame guests; these didn't seem to be regular problems. Cool bar with house beers. Don't get the caipirinha and I also suggest avoiding the salsa lessons. Two things stood out about this place. The staff is exceptional; extremely... More

one of the very few hostels outside of the poblado neighboorhood. I live close from the hostel and Ive been there a couple times to the free salsa lessons or to the language exchange night. The area is a nice place to be in medellin.The owners seemed cool

This place is great for backpackers, have an excellent facilities, is very cheap for foreigners and have an excellent attention. The karaoke shows, the language nights and the salsa course have been an excellent idea. I personally recommend this Hostel to anyone who want to share with other people and have a great time. Thanks Milles for the stay, and... More

I spent a month here in a private room and the only negative was that it made going to my next destinations tough. This property's quality starts from the very top, meaning it's obvious that the owners put effort to maintain a quality experience for all passers-by. The employees were also obviously picked for a reason because I can only... More

I had a good time here. There were plenty of things going on during the weekend, language exchange, open mic. I met some kewl local people and went out partying in the local area and also poblado. its close to the metro and downtown sights but far away from the party area where the rich people live (poblado). Taxi was... More

I loved this hostel! I had made my reservations through email (avoid those pesky online fees) and they were very helpful from the very beginning. Diana was very quick to respond to all of my questions and offer advice (BEFORE I arrived). The location of the hostel is great. It's located in a very safe, affordable neighborhood, close to nightlife,... More

I came here after having a horrible experience at another hostel. The hostel has a good environment. The owners are putting in a conscientious effort in making this place more than a place for crashing. They have activities such as open mic, free salsa classes, and free movie nights. HOWEVER, I found it impossible to get a decent sleep in... More
