    Great location. Near to El Poblado park by walking, bars and restaurants. 10 min walking to the metro station of Medellin. Breakfast was good.

    Excellent place with a very nice vibe in the tourist center of Medellin. Kudos to Joey the barman who showed me the true nightlife of Medellin.

    Purple Monkey is a really chill hostel with a cool vibe and nice people (both staff and guests). There's everything a backpacker can ask for - free wifi, comfy beds, lockers for each guest and they can do your laundry for a very reasonable price....
