Rango Hostel Boutique, hotel in Santa Elena

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

Just stay here already - we booked it last minute on the recommendation of our friends who were already staying when we read bad reviews for the place we’d originally booked. Sure it’s slightly more expensive but it’s beyond worth it - the nicest place we stayed by far, was so fresh and clean, really comfortable, lovely staff and great organised (and some free) activities. They have free coffee/tea all day, the bakery downstairs is great and the pizza restaurant next door is great. Great location in Poblado, don’t even bother looking elsewhere - this is worth it.

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!

ADN Algo de Nosotros - Malaika, hotel in Santa Elena

Situated in Medellín, less than 1 km from El Poblado Park, ADN Algo de Nosotros - Malaika features accommodation with a bar, a shared lounge and garden.

- the room with a shared bathroom was bigger and quieter - the private room next to the kitchen was a bit noisy so we would recommend a shared bathroom in the 2nd floor :) - breakfast changed a bit (juice, tea, fruit) what we really liked - staff helped us with booking a tour :)

Great value accomodation, nothing fancy but clean and close and good communication for a pickup. I arrived at 1am to the airport and the hostel was communicative on WhatsApp. I got picked up promptly. I would stay here again for an early/late flight.

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.
