Selina Medellin is VERY MISLEADING: false advertising.. I see a lot of good reviews.. thinking they may be fake? Or maybe it just wasn’t the place for me.. I traveled solo.. it is a cheaper option in Medellin for sure but you get what you pay for. Not too easy on the eyes. I stayed for 6 nights.. found myself uncomfortably hot every day in the room as there is no air conditioning.. not even a fan. Several days no hot water only cold for showers. No TV if you did want to watch something.. the bed was not to my liking.. and I can’t stop thinking about how hot I was in that room!.. no need to bring these things to immediate attention as once you booked no refund.. and these things weren’t something that could be fixed immediately.. so I had no choice but to deal with it for the 6 nights..
Roaches. Had to shake all my things out prior to leaving and also had to be extra caution to not leave my bags and things open..
Just not an ideal place to stay at all.. I felt disgusting staying here.
Also website states you will receive free breakfast.. but I guess everyone does not get free breakfast.. I didn’t at least and was told my room did not come with free breakfast..
it’s around a lot of things to do though so that was okay.. staff was nice / kind. My only complaint is the room itself. I personally would not stay at Selina Medellin again if I were to visit.
I stayed in many hotels around the world but this one was something out of this world. The people, the food, the events, the hospitality - incredible. If I could give this place 6 starts, I would. The best value for money I’ve ever experienced!
This was by far the worse experience I’ve had in 20 years of traveling to nearly 40 countries.
* stolen laptop in room with 3 other ppl 2 of which I made good friends with, I think it was staff.
* worse service I’ve ever experienced.
I was literally yelled at at 11:05 and they wouldn’t leave my alone. I said I would extend but they insisted I go downstairs. The way they handled it was the worse. The next day they did the same to another guest and he jumped out ready to box but his friend held him down.
I loved my stay there: The staff is very nice, from reception, the coffee place, the security and cleaning staff. I would have stayed longer and if I ever come back to Medellin, I will book again there. Recommended.
Had an AMAZING time and experience at Selina Medellin. Views over the city, Salsa classes, delicious coffee! The location is perfect, can walk everywhere . So much fun!
Thank you to Natalia and the team for having me. Can't wait to come back!
This selina is super run down, looks like it had potential when it was first made but since really poor. My friends stayed in a 12 dorm and were charged equivalent of £20 a night! I had a private room, none of which had air conditioning and the rooms all looked like they’d be thrown together. Although the hostel is in a great location, the windows aren’t sealed so it’s super noisy until 4am at weekends (even with headphones in I could hear the bass vibrating the room). 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.
If you are looking to party everyday and have a place nearby this is your hotel. Otherwise, if you want to get some rest at night, this would be really hard. Loud music from the neighbourhood is on up to 4am.
Besides that the rooms has no proper ventilation. You can open the windows but that's not enough for hot days/nights. Rooms won't provide AC or fan, which is not very friendly when traveling with family.
The service desk is very helpful in person but is not very responsive via Whatsapp as other countries' Selinas.
