Pros- good location, clean, rooms nice enough for the price Cons- absolutely terrible service from all but one of the front desk staff & during our stay the place was full of disgusting sex tourists from the US who constantly had prostitutes in the hostel. As mentioned in a previous review the management here seems to think that's ok

The kitchen was very clean and well-stocked with the necessary instruments to prepare and eat food. The rest of the hostel was clean with hot water, free wi-fi and towels provided. There was a t.v. in my dorm, which had five beds, but I had the room to myself, so it wasn´t a problem. The matress was hard as a... More

This was my second visit to Medellin and I was recommended this hostel by two friends (a gay male couple) who stayed there. As a gay person myself, I feel you are never sure what kind of welcome you may or may not get, so knowing they shared the room as a couple without any problems was a good recommendation... More

But Global Hostel is a little bit run down, and way to noisy (I wonder who's the architect, because you can hear anything your neighbours do, from watching the tv to showering to brushing their teeth).

The hostel has cozy communal areas and tasteful decoration. However, on a... More

Staff very friendly and manager speaks perfect English which was an added amenity. Very helpful when consulted about places to go and things to... More

I just got back from a trip to Medellin where I stayed at two hostels and a friends home. The second night (and for several nights after) I stayed at Global Medellin Hostel. The staff was very friendly and it didn't feel like a hostel at all. All rooms are private and I don't know about the others, but mine... More
