Selina Medellin

I dont like

I genuinely don't understand how this hostels gets such high reviews. I booked my stay at this Selina because my first experience staying at a Selina in Guatemala was so good. However this Selina is very rundown. My friend and I were in a 12 room dorm and we're charged close to $20 a night. Our room had no air conditioning, the room looked like it had just been thrown together at the last minute, no lamp available in each bunk, the little shelves arent securely placed in the wall so you can't place anything on them without your things slipping off. The bathroom has no soap or garbage can and the rooms don't seem like there's anyone who regularly cleans them. Since my reservation was non refundable I stuck it our for 4 days and when I needed to book one more night not wanting to which hostels for one night I was charged $26! For the most basic run down accommodations. I really don't understand the pricing. Although the hostel is in a great location, the windows aren’t sealed so it’s super noisy until 4 am at weekends. It’s very much a party hostel! The co working space is nice however and large and the onsite cafe has great food and coffee. Wouldn’t recommend, as it seems like there are a lot nicer hostels in the area.

It was the worse hostel/hotel i have ever been in my life. Everything is terrible. The rooms don’t have air conditioning, so it is impossible to sleep. The bathrooms are dirty and no one cleans it. Besides that, the biulding is old and need repairs

Terrible experience! The shared room don’t have air conditioning, it’s very small and has poor ventilation. Medellin is a hot city is and sometimes I arrived at the room and it was SMELY because I understand the people were sweating a lot at night at the room because it was REALLY HOT. Also, they didn’t clean the bathrooms on the 3 days I’ve stayed there. It’s kinda disgusting because I was sharing a room and bathroom with 7 unknown people

Don't go here! Totally misleading pictures of building and rooms, nothing is as is! They didn't uphold there pay3stay4 the amount I saw on original booking was more than invoice they gave when at hotel. Also first room had no windows as I requested a standard room, it was a dungeon poor lighting and bad bed with a/c and big tv. Requested change after one night so they moved me to a top floor no a/c no tv in plus 30 degree weather! They never told me this, poor communication even swear did it on purpose and said all rooms were now booked which I barely seen anyone at hotel. Overall, no bar/restaurant as advertised, room the two I had were dismal, a d staff did not want to help with overpriced room I was charged! Would never stay here, don't do it, better options than 70-90us a night!

Great place to stay and work, especially for the solo traveler. The community kitchen, movie room, and cafe make it a great place for longer stays as well. Perfect location in El Poblado. Nice design, good value. Most of all I appreciate the excellent service. Thank you María Valentina for saving my trip!
