Rango Hostel Boutique, hotel in Medellín

Rango Hostel Boutique features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and restaurant in Medellín.

Great location in El Poblado. Bunkbeds had curtains, a fan and power outlets. Everything was super clean, the staff cleaned the bathrooms multiple times during the day. The hostel seemed new and had a nice Industrial design. Nice Rooftop-Pool to refresh (not for swimming, it's very small). The Rooftopbar was closed for construction, but the hostel offered barservice on the 4th floor instead. Breakfast ist served in the swiss restaurant in the ground floor and amazing! Staff super nice and helpful.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Top-notch hostel experience in El Poblado‘s best part in Medellín. The location is perfect with plenty of great cafés and restaurants surrounding the property. The neighborhood is safe and one feels fine walking around at night. The hostel is very clean and staff is very accomodating & ensure you have a great experience. Shoutout to Manuela y Maria for being excellent hosts and making my stay so pleasant. Viajero is probably the best hostel chain in South America! Salud!

    This hostel is definitely the best hostel we have stayed in during our trip around South America. It felt like a hotel and our room was cleaned every day which was so lovely. We also did the fruit tasting and cocktail making class during our stay which was so good and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend staying here if you are going to Medellin. Great location near to all the tour pick ups and loads of nice restaurants close by to choose from. The restaurant for breakfast was also really good. I just can’t fault it.

    Great location, safe and very clean hostel. They clean the room every day, offered shower towels + towels for the pool. In this building there is a small gym, heated pool on the rooftop and laundry - while in the other building is where all activities and parties happen. Better to stay in this one and go there whenever you feel like socialising. Quiet at night, comfy beds with curtains.

    This is probably the best hostel we have stayed at in our time through almost 50 countries. The facilities were great, we had laundry delivered back to our room the morning after we put it in. There was lots of information about different tours, which were all easy to book at the travel counter. The room was massive, the bed was so comfortable, the shower was amazing. It is on the edge of El Poblado so it's only a short walk to nightlife but being a few blocks away means it's safe and quiet. I would comfortably live here!

    Great location which is about 10 mins from metro, easy to get a taxi to the bars, restaurants in walking distance, but most importantly very safe! Shops about 5-10 mins walk away too. The hostel has great kitchen facilities which are kept very clean. We had a private room which was large/spacious and had a nice bathroom.

    - The hostel‘s located in El Poblado, a modern and relatively safe neighbourhood with lots of foreigners around - The staff is super nice and helpful - They can organise airport transport for 100.000 COP, which is a bit cheaper than Uber - The rooftop is superb, loved the whirlpool and the evenings at the bar

    The Hostel has a great terasse as a public common area. The kitchen at the terasse is hugh, so that is a very comfortable place to cook. It also is a great Co-Working space or just to hang out. The area is very chilled. The Hostel is located next to some sport courts so that it seems like a quite safe area. It is close to Laureles, a good area to stay in Medellín. The people staying there were open and friendly. They are offering a cheap laundry service.
