The hostel is dirty. Beds are dirty. Bathrooms are filthy and they are never cleaned (in the 3 days I was there the same filth was in the sink every day). The communal toilets are just as dirty and none of them have any paper. The sink in my room didn’t work-unhygenic. Staff were told of this 3 times and eventually I was moved to another room (thankfully). The next room had ‘clean’ beds. All 3 separately had many black long hairs all over bed sheets. I complained, and was moved to another room. The last room’s beds were cleaner than the other ones but there was still a lot of dust on the beds and some of them were still dirty. I found a bed that was relatively clean but I could see the sheets above me on the bunk bed were dirty.
David should be the owner. The rooms was nice even tho it was a little bit hot and the tv didn’t work. In general David was the highlights of my trip, I recommend for everyone:)
Hostel was alright overall. But Mauricio at the cafe was GREAT !!!!!!!!! Looked after us so well and was easily the hardest worker in the whole place he was run off his feet and still a pleasure to deal with throughout. His management should give him a pay rise!
The location is perfect — right in the heart of El Poblado, with great restaurants, cafes, and nightlife just steps away. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and nicely designed, which made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. What really stood out was the staff — super friendly, helpful, and always available to assist with anything I needed. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Medellín
Unfortunately I did not enjoy my experience here. The website made it seem so cool, and at first it was. The building looks nice when you walk in, but they advertised that they had to many activities but barely even had half of them. Then you have to pay extra to even go into some of the rooms in the building, like the office space. The rooftop is only open Fridays and Saturdays. There’s a picture of a pool but they don’t have a pool. My room was extremely hot, I asked for a fan and they did give me one. I also wanted to connect with people and didn’t see many people. I ended up going to Medellin vibes hostel the next day which I enjoyed more. Unfortunately I booked through a third party and couldn’t get my money back, I’m not sure if socialtel is even willing to do that. The front desk did say that I’m still booked for another 5 days when I was checking out. I told them I found another place, and they didn’t seem to care to ask what they could’ve done better or offer a refund. I don’t blame the workers though. The idea of the hostel is nice but just didn’t work for me.
My reservation was for a standard room. When I checked in I was given an apartment. The apartment had no aircondition and smelled funny. I returned to the checked in desk and had my room changed to a standard room.
I stayed in two Selina"s before, that were three stars and I received five star service. This Selina is four star with zero star service. The staff are unfriendly. The kitchen is dirty.
Had a great stay at Selina, beds were super comfortable, facilities were clean and overall good vibe. They have a huge space downstairs with events every day. Had a great time!
