to get started.

The thing that we liked most was how friendly the staff was and how clean our room and all of the common areas were. The location was perfect we were able to walk to multiple restaurants and shops. The tour of communa 13 that the hostel staff arranged for us was great - highly recommend!

The hostel is very well located in one of the best neighborhoods in Medellin. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer many activities during the day and also at night. The facilities are great.

If you want to be near the action and the party, this hostal is a great location in Poblado. Cool vibe, nice roof top. Not the cleanest rooms, but I think that was just my dorm mates. Friendly staff not always attentive.

An Inside Look at La Playa Hostel & Rooftop

The first time we saw the house where La Playa is locate, it was literally in ruins. But we saw the potential and decided to undertake the challenge of transforming it into a wonderful space. We had to rebuild it completely: plumbing, electrical system, knock down walls, change the windows and planting the garden. Now, every time someone walks on La Playa, his smile shows that we achieved our goal.

Great hostel, in a lovely area. The showers were the best I had on my travels. Breakfast was great. Something different every day. Nice bar to relax in looking over a quiet street. Lots of bars and restaurants around. About a 15 minute walk to the metro station.

If you want to go to a football match, buy the tickets yourself at the stadium (we got charged double by booking through the hostel).

The only slightly negative thing was that the rooms are quite noisy, mainly because of the location. But if you are looking for a quiet place you shouldn't book something that close to parque lleras.
The staff at the hostel is great, I appreciated the fact that they remembered our names. Also the bar is a nice place to hang out and the atmosphere in general is really sociable. The prices are also good, definitely worth the money to stay at this hostel.

The bathrooms could be cleaned more often as there are only three toilets and showers for a lot of people.
Great staff, tasty breakfast and after 12, when the bar closes, possible to get a good sleep, if you need to. Loved the big fluffy towels. luxurious when backpacking for months :)

There wasn’t much I didn’t like except maybe on the first night, the music in the bar was very loud. It all stops at midnight, however people continued to chat in the hallway outside our room until at least 00:30/01:00. That’s not really the hostel’s fault though.
A great hostel, with a nice friendly vibe. The breakfast is great! They try to change it every day, but there’s always granola with yoghurt and fruit. The two mornings we were there there were breakfast tacos, then French toast the next day. Juan who was on the desk was incredible, he’s very very good at his job and I cannot praise his service enough. In fact, all of the staff were friendly and helpful. The bar up the stairs is nice, a good place to hang out, but they also have space to sit down the stairs next to reception if you want somewhere a bit quieter. The beds were comfortable and the dorms were clean. As were the bathrooms (always a risk with hostels!)

You can hear everyone talking in the chill out area and the music from the bar from the hostel rooms. It's very loud and makes it hard to sleep. Also they mixed colours and whites in the washing ruining several t shirts
