Los Patios Hostel

In El Poblado, Medellín — an upscale boutique hostel within a 15-minute walk of Poblado Park and Lleras Park and a short drive from Santafé Mall and Oviedo Shopping Center. About 3 km from the city center, it’s a family-friendly base for exploring the city and valley.

Two connected buildings blend Art Deco and lush garden style with murals that celebrate Colombia’s landscapes. Choose from 8-, 6- and 4-person dorms or private deluxe suites, and enjoy communal top-of-the-line kitchens, coworking space, chill-out zones and rooftop bars.

Outdoor pool, fitness center/gym, bicycle rentals and an arcade/game room set a lively tone. There’s a library, picnic and BBQ areas, kids’ playrooms, an organic garden, poolside and rooftop bars, tour assistance, elevator access and complimentary Wi‑Fi — wake up to lush valley mornings.

Business center, meeting rooms and a 24-hour front desk with multilingual staff. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Two on-site restaurants, a coffee shop/café and a snack bar/deli serve local flavors. A poolside bar and two lounges keep the vibe social; local-cuisine breakfasts are available on weekdays and weekends for a fee.
