 | Medellín Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
There are many hostels for travellers in Medellín , but they are not located down town (but in more modern neighbourhoods like Poblado). I wanted to stay down town and I also thought a hotel there would be more quiet then some of the hostels could be (many backpackers come to Medellín to party).
I got a small quiet room. It was clean with a bed, a table, a fridge, a TV (with lots of channels), a fan and a bathroom. The room was 50 000 pesos a night (July 2008). By the reception there is a small restaurant. One morning I had breakfast there, egg (which tasted of ketchup) , bread and juice was 4500 pesos. In the reception there is free coffee.
Hotel Capitol is situated behind the Cathedral and opposite there is a small shopping centre. The area doesn’t feel safe to walk around in after dark, so I only crossed the road from the Internet café in the shopping centre after dark.
It is a short walk from the hotel to the metro. Theme: HotelPrice: US$20-40 » Currency ConverterAddress: Carrera 49 No 57 - 24Phone: 4 - 512 00 12Directions: Behind the cathedral.Other Contact: Fax: 511 56 31

Comfortable hotel in Medellin in the El Poblado neighbourhood. Within walking distance of Parque Lleras, the "zona rosa" of Medellin with many bars, restaurants and discotecas. Safe to walk, even late at night. Rooms comfortable with complete bathroom, nice restaurants and swimming pool. Around 70-80 Euros per night per room. I made my reservation through expedia and all went well.
There is another Dann Carlton hotel called The Belfort, which seems to be a little less expensive, also in the El Poblado neighbourhood but not within walking distance of the Parque Lleras.
Taxi from/to airport Rionegro takes 45 min-1 hour, 17 Euros (fixed price). Recommended.

I love the Intercontinental line of Hotels but for some reason the ones in Colombia really show their age. In both Medellin and in Bogota I have found them to be good hotels but not the extremely high end hotels I have found elsewhere. That said it is a good place to stay with a pool and a nice outdoor resturant with a Spanish theme.
It is also on Las Palmas near many of the good resturant and night clubs. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageDirections: Up the Hil on Las Palmas

Pros:
- Great hostel!! Located in the residential area, hence, is very tranquil and feels safe and the hostel is quiet new
- Within walking distance from Suramericana metro station
- Right opposite a gigantic EXITO supermarket, very convenient
- Splendid kitchen and dining area, free orange juice (squeeze them yourself)!
- Other relaxing places like hammock and a large TV room with tonnes of DVDs selection
- Dorms are comfortable and clean
- Quite secure with some form of 'control' to enter the hostel
Cons:
- Hmmmm... maybe, number of toilets are not that adequate but it is quite fine
