Macondo Guest House | Hostel

December 6th, 2019 by The Cassey Excursion

What a wonderful place to stay and visit Medellin. I parked my Westy in the driveway and stayed in my car for 20,000 COP/night. Plenty of room for motorcycles to park their bikes inside for more safety. Within 10 minutes walking of Pablado metro station and also within 10 minutes of the exito grocery store (HUGE) and 10-15 minutes walking of movie theaters/malls. On Tuesday and Wednesday they have half price movie tickets at cine Colombia. Only 7,000 COP ($2 USD) for just released movies! I went both nights to also practice my Spanish with the subtitles ☺️. I went on the tour to Guatapé and the pickup location was Pablado Park 11 minutes walking from the hostel, which was nice because you meet early. Very happy with the location and facilities. They also have laundry service! (price is per kg). They are planning to start Spanish classes soon (possibly end of December 2019) for people who which to learn.

Very nice place to stay. Really good and clean house with everything you need. The location is also great, with several restaurants and markets around. It’s “gringolandia”, as there are other 3 hostels in the same street. Despite the comment that people got robbed in the neighborhood, it’s very safe. We as “gringos” attract a lot of attention, so just do your homework. There’s uber and taxis if you are going to party out late. It’s a 10 min walk from the Poblado metro station. Nice mall across the metro also, if you need anything...
Stayed 10 nights... I saw people getting the bike inside, if that makes you feel better...

Good location and super super clean. They have three prices for people staying in their cars- all include internet and they vary as to how much use of the hostel you can have. We got the basic one (30,000 pesos/night) which includes WiFi, unlimited use of the bathroom, coffee in the morning and one shower a day. We were under the impression that this meant not any use of the other areas in the hostel but the woman who was there when we checked in kept encouraging us to come in and use the public spaces and said that we could use the computer and the kitchen, so I’m not totally sure about the situation if you paid the higher prices. The driveway was flat enough. They don’t have wood or anything to level it out but we didn’t need it. WiFi works great, including in the van. Another review mentioned a robbery when walking at night- we were on the safe side and only took Ubers after dark. Also, really great brake shop nearby if you need it. Overall would recommend this place

Very clean and nice hostel with a chill atmosphere and very friendly staff! It’s a small walk to a bunch of restaurants and grocery stores. There’s a small drive way to park off the street but it’s not closed or gated. We parked our 2 motorcycles there and a campervan was parked there also. It’s a safe neighborhood and people seem very respectful. I believe a dorm is 25,000-30,000 peso and a private is 80,000. The private rooms however don’t have a private bathroom. There’s plenty of places to lounge, eat, cook, watch tv, hammocks and all the nice comfortable things! We highly recommend this place.
