Hostel International House Medellin Hostel

Calle 32 B # 66C-06, 105000 Medellín, Colombia –

Lock in a great price for International House Medellin Hostel - rated 8.4 by recent guests.

to get started.

The staff was nice and very friendly, I felt very comfortable there, it's well located, near Metroplus and Exito supermarket, although there's a bus, which is close to the hostel. You can cook and there's a nice terrace as well!

Daniela, United Kingdom

The breakfast is cheap and very complete (eggs, arepa...). The washing of clothes can be done during the day, really easy

Fiora, France

I was able to check in earlier which I really! appreciated after the night bus. Common area is really relaxed and has a nice vibe so that it is easy to meet people. Also some good and cheap laundry service

Pascal, Germany

Basketball courts right opposite defs the highlight. Also has Pool and soccer field. Location is local, none of that touristy nonesense. The hostel sucks you in because you feel at home. Ideal for long term travellers.

William, Australia

Large kitchen. Niceview from the terrace. There is a big locker in the room.

Best volunteers team I’ve ever met in my life! They have a band and there was a concert going on, I almost cried! So much talent. All areas were clean, bar/tienda inside hostel, sport complex in the front, amazing rooftop, safe rooms with door code and lockers, happy people. owners probably do not explore or take advantage from volunteers as many other places do, they are all so happy to be there!

Alinesfere, Canada

Excellent hostel. One of the best I've stayed at in 25 years of travel. I came for one night and stayed six. Great facilities including many bathrooms which are regularly cleaned throughout the day, a lovely neighbourhood close to transport, free access to outdoor pools opposite, amazing roof terrace and night view, fantastically attentive staff and customer service, shop and bar downstairs but noise doesn't bother in hostel, easy to socialise or be quiet, very good and cheap breakfasts. I can't understand why anyone would give this place low score. And for vegetarians, there's an excellent veggy restaurant around the corner called Alma Natura that does a three course lunch and juice for 10000 cop between 12 and 3.

Zohra, Ireland

Super cosy, cheap and located near a metro station. Great staff, really nice and welcoming (english spoken if you have some trouble speaking spanish). Also, there’s a rooftop where you can chill. I highly recommend it. Had an awesome stay in Medellin.

Morgane, Malaysia

nice hostel with friendly staff, roof top terrace and equipped kitchen, location is close to the stadium area (more quiet!), in walking distance from the city airport and south bus station, best value for money i had in colombia :)

Stefan, Austria

A good place to stay with a social upstairs bar. Staff very friendly and helpful.

You should be careful walking after 21:00 on the way to the main road towards the bank and Exito, I felt a bit unsafe.

The 4 bed dorms are too small, some have no window, not comfortable!
Very friendly staff/ volunteers! The 10bed dorm was spacious and nice to be. Everything is very clean. Nice common area to hang out. Enough showers and toilets. Good kitchen and nice view. This was the best hostel of 3 I stayed at in Laureles.

If I'm being picky, the kitchen could do with more small sharp knives for cutting fruit and veg, and one of the four showers on the first floor didn't heat up as well as the others. This is being picky though ;-)

a bit noisy because of the planes and the football field on the other side of the street, a bit “off the track” while (as i said) it is convinient if you travel further or like the more quiet parts of medellin
nice hostel with friendly staff, roof top terrace and equipped kitchen, location is close to the stadium area (more quiet!), in walking distance from the city airport and south bus station, best value for money i had in colombia :)
