Lock in a great price for 61Prado Guesthouse – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Lovely big bed. Terrace, fruit at breakfast and 24 hour food. Staff printed out boarding passes and made sure we were up for early taxi. I was able to prepare a pineapple in kitchen I bought!

Jane, United Kingdom

The restaurant on site provides an excellent alternative to other offerings in the area. The cook, originally from Spain, offer a true international cuisine menu. We did not even bother going out, so delicious! And the atmosphere is charming.

If you want to experience the "real Medellín, this is the place to be. The city is intense, crowded, and gritty, the sidewalks a constant trap, but there is great vitality and optimism in this town. On the other hand, we were always delighted to come back to the 61Prado and catch our breaths. In fact, we had our dinners there - it was very family-oriented, straightforward, cuisine, and suited us better than heading out again at night at dark. The beds were excellent, the shower, too.

Caroline, United States of America

Very friendly staff, nice balcony view, superb area to feel the real Medellin. Nice restaurant, too!

Sim, France

The staff was very helpful and accommodating to any requests I had. The location was great and the restaurant was delicious. I will definitely be coming back to Medellin and I am going to stay here again.

William, United States of America

Excellent food, excellent view, absolutely amazing staff.

Christopher, United States of America

A guesthouse that has excellent rooms with comfy beds and hot shower. The restaurant offers an excellent menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from the metro station Prado.

Peter, Netherlands

Super friendly staff, great location, hot showers, excellent value, quiet at night so able to get good nights sleep. Not in poblabo which is where everyone seems to stay, so if you stay at 61 prado you don't get that sanitised backpacker experience

Paul, United Kingdom

61 Prado is excellent value for money. We had all the comforts of places twice the price in other cities. The staff here were amazing. They were calm and helpful at all times. Very polite and always accommodated our requests. The guesthouse is cozy but large enough that we had plenty of privacy; in our room, lounging in the courtyard, in the restaurant, etc. The rooftop is nice and offers good views of the city. The restaurant was a bonus on evenings/mornings when we didn't want to get out. It has a limited menu but enough to allow us options. The chef was great and the food was good. The neighborhood is really local so it is quiet and comfortable to walk around in. There is a grocery store and mall within walking distance and the metro station nearby can get you to other parts of the city quickly.

Shiloh, United States of America

This is a really interesting guesthouse, in the style of a home on a number of levels. I liked the open interior with the café/bar/restaurant downstairs where I could work and enjoy the space. The staff were really friendly, coping with my lack of Spanish, and the breakfast and meals served were great. In a neighbourhood where there aren't many nice restaurants close by, the restaurant at the guest house was a real bonus. They were also gay-friendly, and did not fuss when my friend came to stay.

눉The area is not as developed for tourists so mainstream restaurants are limited close by but the metro station is a 5 minute walk which puts you into El Poblado or other more trendy neighborhoods in no time at all. We ventured out almost everyday for coffee in El Poblado and we're always happy to come home to our quiet guesthouse.
눇61 Prado is excellent value for money. We had all the comforts of places twice the price in other cities. The staff here were amazing. They were calm and helpful at all times. Very polite and always accommodated our requests.

“Charming, lovely atmosphere, kitchen, roof terrace, metro- many pluses!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The location is close to the old downtown El Centro for accessing tourist attractions, but the neighborhood is transitional and walking to downtown is crowded, seedy and chaotic. Not safe for woman alone at night. Rooms really vary in quietness and windows.
눇Charming guest house felt like a home. Very nice relaxing atmosphere and decor in lounge and dining room. Use of fridge and limited cooking. On-site restaurant and bar. Awesome rooftop terrace with great views. Metro a few blocks away. Helpful staff but limited English speaking- owner is European though. I had a huge room on top floor in the back with multiple windows (and a view) , across from roof terrace, but other rooms were not so nice- minimal air circulation and windows opening into internal halls or laundry room, which would be way too noisy for me. Look at many rooms for best choice.

눉No A/C (but fans), which means most rooms get stuffy. The food was very good, but the coffee was instant :(
눇Very good option if you want to stay near the center. Staff was great, though most did not speak much English. Showers have hot water, beds are large (though mattresses are thin), pleasant rooftop area to sit, they will do your laundry on-site for a reasonable price, hotel had good security (and room safe), and the rooms were pretty quiet.

“Lovely safe space in the heart of Medellin”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉The room was enormous (I didn't really need such a big room), but the bathroom needs some maintenance work. The building is old and the fittings are a bit tired, but some taps don't work and the hot water system needs a revamp. Taken as a whole, none of this really matters... it's like staying in the home of friends or relatives....
눇This is a really interesting guesthouse, in the style of a home on a number of levels. I liked the open interior with the café/bar/restaurant downstairs where I could work and enjoy the space. The staff were really friendly, coping with my lack of Spanish, and the breakfast and meals served were great.

“Look no further, stay here!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The bathroom is a little dated. But it is clean and it works so it's fine!
눇The staff are amazing. We left in such a rush though that we forgot to tip them which is our biggest regret. Every member of the team is incredibly friendly and despite the fact we speak little Spanish they made every effort to help us. They were very patient. The food here is amazing and the chef should be very proud! We never went out for dinner because we loved the food so much. And when we did eat lunch out we regretted not having the delicious sandwich con pollo (best chicken sub we've ever had!) If you are a tourist the area is close to the train line (metro?) and walking distance to some attractions. Thank you to all the staff from the receptionist who saved us by having excellent English (organising our laundry, booking taxis and printing our boarding passes) to the ladies who cooked, cleaned and attended to our every need with a smile- thank you for your patience and kindness. To the chef and his team, we were gutted that you had a night off on our last night and we didn't get to buy you a drink. Your food was amazing. My husband is still drooling over your steak! Thank you!!

눉As there isn't an AC but only two fans in the room, it can get quite hot... A pity that the display fridge is quite noisy in the restaurant...
눇Spacious room, exceptional breakfast (the enormous pancake served with fresh fruit was delicious!), having a restaurant serving great food for lunch and dinner is a huge plus too, lovely view from the roof top, nice public areas... it looks like a small boutique hotel! Thank you for arranging the pick up / transfer service from and to the airport for us (cheaper than with UBER), very good value same day laundry service

“Basic guesthouse needs attention”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Junior Suite
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Airport transfer didn't materialise. Rooms were very basic: no water glasses or shelves in the bathroom. First room we were given was awful: it was really hot, very noisy and smelt of sewers. Second room was marginally better but the shower pressure was so low it was impossible to wash hair. There is a nice roof terrace but no shade provided.
눇Really nice modern restaurant and reception area. Excellent food cooked fresh. Because the area is a bit dodgy it is not really possible to go out at night to find somewhere to eat so having a good chef on the property is a bonus. This guesthouse has great potential but just needs some attention to the poor standard of the bedrooms.

“One of the Most Favorite Hostel in the World”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Even though overall service level was so satisfactory, I personally felt most receptionists could be more friendly except a few who were really courteous and helpful.
눇If difficult to imagine from appearance, inside the facility is so moody and sophisticated. Everywhere is always very clean. Bed making is made everyday like 5 star hotels. Most importantly, the inhouse restaurant serves fabulous dishes with unbelievably inexpensive price. You can enjoy them throughout the day with forgetting the hustle and bustle of the outside. It's a real oasis in busy Medellin... Btw, location, which was my biggest anxiety before visit, was almost no problem for me. Nearest metro station, five minutes walking distance, was accessible by walk before 10pm with ordinary vigilance. This is one of the most favorite hostels in the world for me.
