Great location, facilities, staff. Many things to do I wish I wish I could have done I was acclimatizing from the elevation, so I stayed in the hotel which is overall clean, just a few crumbs behind the fridge an one hair in the room, a little noisy from the road an events in the busy area's. I would recommend to stay here. Excellent quotes on the wall as the building explains the journey it's on as well as all who pass through it.

A+ Steampunk Hostel Minutes from Airport
Simple, steampunk, budget hotel. Features hot and cold water, which you don’t always get in Colombia, in a secure, college dormitory-style setting, at a very reasonable price, including breakfast! This is now my go-to hotel in Medellin. 15 minute drive to the airport

Cozy little rooms in a great location. No AC however. The windows don't block the noise from the road so bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper, however I've stayed in hotels three times the amount in Medellin and it's the same.
Most of the front desk are bilingual, there is a nice cafe on the first floor, and it's a very affordable for those who want to travel on a budget. Clean hotel, clean room, nice area, so you can't ask for more for the price.

Great stay - amazing for the price
Stayed here for 8 or 9 nights (ended up extending after the third night). Was on the tenth floor, had a great view, hot shower, usable kitchen, fun and clever layout ... For a very fair price.
No, you don't have to be coworking (at least I was not) to stay here - the benefit is that the wifi is great.
Cool staff!
Free breakfast between 8-10am
Can't complain, honestly. Will likely stay again once I return to Medellin!

Unique rooms are great
Well located hotel with helpful staff and when the price is right, good value.
The main issues for the private rooms I’ve stayed in before are heat and street noise. This time I stayed in a unique room which solved both these issues by facing the rear and having AC. I would highly recommend these.
Only negative for my room is that there were no hooks for towels in the bathroom.

The breakfast ladies were the best! Super friendly and kind!
Everyone at the front desk was nice but a girl named Laura seemed to always have an attitude, girl was rude for no reason.. on my check out she literally told me “that’s it you can go” again.. rude
And what I really think needs improvement are the towels…. NOT ONE TOWEL WAS CLEAN, some had holes big enough for my hand to go through them… clean towels are a must at a hotel, not ripped stained towels.
Julian , Christian and Sofia all helped me out kindly!
