The thing I liked most about this hostel was that you can definitely see that the Greek owner (Spyros) really puts his heart into the place: he and all the staff are friendly, there's really good tourist information in the form of a giant map of the city with all the important landmarks pointed out and there's a weekly BBQ...

After spending several noisy nights in other Medellin hostels, Arcadia was a welcome relief. Going to sleep to the sound of a stream in a beautiful wooded area only five minutes from Poblado´s party area was great! The owner Spyros and his staff helped organize several tours for me and told me all about the city. The Saturday night karaoke... More

We stayed a few nights here to see beautiful Medellin. The guys are great there and wish them every success. The Good: Incredible staff. Could not be more helpful. All with a smile on their faces. Location great. Only a five minute walk into the hustle and bustle of El Poblado but in a leafy area opposite a small green... More

Excellent place to stay in Medellin. This is the best hostel in El Poblado (the best neighborhood in the city of Medellin). Very close to Zona Rosa and all the nightlife in Medellin. Plenty of restaurants and bars are located in 5 minutes walking from hostel. Hostel is clean, easy, and quiet. The whole hotel's staff (speak English) is really... More

.... you don't need many other reasons to prefer a hostel. We stayed there twice and experienced almost all rooms, the luxury partnenon suite, the small dorm with private bath and even the large dorm with private bath as well. No complaint as matresses are new and cleaning is a priority for thr hostel's owner. Poblado is probably the best... More

I say home base because when you were kids, home base was the place during a yard game that you went to seek refuge and catch a break from the fast world of Tag. Travelling is a fast world sometimes. Full of confusion and the need to recoop. HOMEBASE Arcadia is just that. Its comfort and sense of home fills... More

It's about ten minute walk from the nearest station, but the walk is enjoyable and you will be walking through a nice area filled with cafe's and restaurants.

Arcadia hostel was the perfect place for my initial introduction to the blossoming city of Medellin, Colombia the city of eternal spring. Close to the busy Zona Rosa Parque Lleras but on a quiet street near a stream, it's near the Viscaya movie theatre on Calle 10, shops, tours and for me the Medellin Dental Centre an initiative of the...

I'd like to give a special thanks to Arcadia Hostel in Medellín. If you are riding a moto and looking for a moto-friendly spot, it's a great place to stay because: --I had moto parts and electronic stuff sent there before I arrived, three packages in all, and they held on to my items diligently. --They have a large garage...

I enjoyed my stay at Arcadia. The hostel has a nice mix of relaxation and entertainment. Most days are quiet, but there was also a costume party hosted the week before Halloween. The party was a good mix of hostel guests and locals. The staff are all very helpful and speak at least two languages. They arrange for tours, provide... More
