Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Besides having hot water for the showers, and the staff are very friendly, there is nothing special about this hostel. Our room was right at the front and the room was very small and cramped, plus there was noise from the front desk and street traffic. Location is good, but there are million other hostels to stay at around that area!

Best experience ever! Each and every single staff member has always the best attitude to help you in every way! Me and girlfriend stayed in a private room with private bathroom, and everything was perfectly clean from corner to corner. Breakfast at the terrace every morning was a super awesome chill way to start the day..... fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast, coffee, etc.... AMAZING! did i mention an AMAZING TERRACE? We had an incredible weekend in Medellin thanks to Albaka Hostel! You guys made us feel at home!! Thank you!!!
