Hostal Prado Colonial — Hotel in Medellín

The hostel is run by lovely Felipe, who is very smiley and helpful. We took the night bus to Cartagena and as there was no new reservations on our room, Felipe offered us to keep the room until we left late in the evening. Such an amazing gesture and we of course wanted to give him a little extra money for that, even he didn’t ask for it but it really made our day. The rooms and facilities are very basic, but they do the job; the location is great within walking distance to a lot of places and metro stations, and short taxi ride to the bus terminal. The hostel is very safe, which is very important in Medelin. A big plus if you love cats as...

We loved staying here, wish we could have stayed longer. The rooms are simple and very clean. The kitchen has everything you could need. Felipe treats you like family, it feels like home. He gave us tips on where to go and how to get there and we went out for a meal with him. One of the kindest, most genuine people we have met. The location isn't in the tourist centre, but you can easily get around and it felt very safe during the day. A lovely hostel. Thank you Felipe for sharing your...

Sentimientos encontrados. Empezando por lo positivo, el Hostal está bien ubicado, en un lindo barrio cerca del metro, hay una tienda cerca. Es una hermosa casa antigua, con un patio fresco con bastante verde. Su dueño Felipe es muy cordial y atento. Puntos a mejorar, la limpieza: la cómoda tenía un pegote de algo que atraía hormigas, el baño tenía algún pelo, telarañas en el cuarto); falta una lámpara para la mesita y una cortina opaca para la ventana; amo a los gatos y los de ahí son mimosos, pero hay mucho olor a orina. Lo más negativo es el colchón con naylon, que hace un ruido tremendo que realmente no deja descansar bien.
