Great location, really good bedrooms. The bathroom was super clean and the shower amazing. The team: fantastic. The breakfast with many delicious options, the best I've ever tasted. The rooftop with bar and pool is a plus: excellent spot to meet people and chill. Super recommended.

Liked the relaxed atmosphere because of the plenty of space to sit, work or lie in hammocks, much green plants around. There is a yard inside and a terrace for dining in front of the hostel so you may choose your favourite place. Sleeping is comfortable and not noisy around. The hostel organises different tours and I chose the one telling about the difficult and violent past times of the Medellin and how the new regions are evolving nowadays and becoming artistic centres. Got good insights and understanding of the place so I recommend the tour! +loved a bawl of rresh fruits and musli for breakfast which was included!

This hostel is a hidden gem in Medellin. The place was so cheap that I did not expect much, but it really was fantastic. The staff were absolutely brilliant - Raul was the first person I met and he is a real gentleman; as is his son who also works on the premises. They were very patient with my bad Spanish and Irish accent. Desiree is the cleaner who is also a fantastic person, and clearly brilliant at her job as the place is also spotless. She also took care of my laundry and was just excellent in general. The night time staff were also great, and always greeted you with a smile even if you needed to enter the building after lights out. On that end, the place is extremely safe, too. Other things that struck me: There aren't actually that many beds in the building, so facilities such as the kitchen are generally available when you need them, and there is always space in the fridge. Small details, but it makes a difference. I decided to stay here after a lot of busy, extremely social hostels in Poblado, and it was the perfect antidote. It is quiet and definitely not a hostel for making dozens of friends, but that is exactly what I wanted. That is not to say that you can't meet people here; you certainly can, but it's not for big groups and there's obviously no bar, etc. The location is good - you're right beside a metro station, so if you do need to get into the hustle of Poblado (or wherever), you're likely only 30 mins away without having to pay for a taxi. For anyone interested in going to watch any football, this hostel is in an excellent location for the stadium, too. It's walking distance. I am returning to Medellin in a week or two, and I shall be staying here again!

I was so glad to get the chance to stay at Del Cielo. Tomas is an inspiring guy who is going to (and has done) amazing things for La Loma. The area feels like a home away from home, so incredibly safe, I got a bit lost one evening, and I was walked back to the hostel by locals. So kind. It's super easy to jump on the local buses and get to the metro, it's not far from all the places you want to go. Ubers learn something new everything time they go there, seeing it's a great place to live and stay and that people want to visit and stay in La Loma. The hostel itself is super friendly, and everyone is lovely. Lili, the kids, Tomas. When I was there, there was an empanada cooking class, and a barbecue where everyone got involved, and got to know each other. Lili gave me some salsa tips, and I learned about Call Me Mamá. What a great project. Each day I was there, there was a new piece of equipment added to the kitchen, a conscious effort to constantly improve. The View!!! Breathtaking, day and night!! Impossible to grow tired of. I think this hostel is going to grow in its success and popularity, and I wish it all the success possible. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING AT THIS HOSTEL FOR AN AUTHENTIC Medellin experience. ❤️

Loved my stay here! The rooms were tidy and the rooftop bar was amazing! Took the free bachata and yoga classes. Not the most social hostel I've been to, but still one of the best ones I've had during my stay in Colombia so far. ☀️

    This hostel is definitely the best hostel we have stayed in during our trip around South America. It felt like a hotel and our room was cleaned every day which was so lovely. We also did the fruit tasting and cocktail making class during our stay which was so good and exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend staying here if you are going to Medellin. Great location near to all the tour pick ups and loads of nice restaurants close by to choose from. The restaurant for breakfast was also really good. I just can’t fault it.

    Great location, safe and very clean hostel. They clean the room every day, offered shower towels + towels for the pool. In this building there is a small gym, heated pool on the rooftop and laundry - while in the other building is where all activities and parties happen. Better to stay in this one and go there whenever you feel like socialising. Quiet at night, comfy beds with curtains.

    This is probably the best hostel we have stayed at in our time through almost 50 countries. The facilities were great, we had laundry delivered back to our room the morning after we put it in. There was lots of information about different tours, which were all easy to book at the travel counter. The room was massive, the bed was so comfortable, the shower was amazing. It is on the edge of El Poblado so it's only a short walk to nightlife but being a few blocks away means it's safe and quiet. I would comfortably live here!

    Great location which is about 10 mins from metro, easy to get a taxi to the bars, restaurants in walking distance, but most importantly very safe! Shops about 5-10 mins walk away too. The hostel has great kitchen facilities which are kept very clean. We had a private room which was large/spacious and had a nice bathroom.

    The Hostel has a great terasse as a public common area. The kitchen at the terasse is hugh, so that is a very comfortable place to cook. It also is a great Co-Working space or just to hang out. The area is very chilled. The Hostel is located next to some sport courts so that it seems like a quite safe area. It is close to Laureles, a good area to stay in Medellín. The people staying there were open and friendly. They are offering a cheap laundry service.
