This place is sweet. Genuinely nice staff who were always smiles and full of usefull information about the area and Medellin. Also bilingual, which is nice because I don't have much for Spanish skills. Really well thought out location, off the "gringo path" and close to the metro, a big exito, free olympic swimming pools, free gym and only a... More

When I first got to Medellin I stayed at a hostel in Poblado, which is one of the "ritzy" areas of the city. For me that was a mistake. I didn't travel 2,000 miles from Huntington Beach, California, to stay in an area that resembled Newport Beach. I immediately looked for other options. In my search I came across the... More

Wandering Paisa is a hotel like few I've been to in Europe, Asia or elsewhere in South America. It is very comfortable, with a living room, a terrace with hammocks, a large kitchen in which to cook for yourself (though I preferred sampling the food on the streets and restaurants nearby) and a bar in which to drink the local...

I stayed at the Wandering Paisa for 4 nights in early March. My room was the "Chile" room which was quite large with a private ensuite bath. The area has several resturants within walking distance and the metro is about a five minute walk. The area seems to be realativly safe area but then again I was never out walking... More

I visited Colombia for a couple of weeks in February 2012, and the Wandering Paisa was by far the best hostel that I stayed at during my brief time. I had three full days in Medellin, and the staff is the main factor that made this hostel so exceptional. All were extremely helpful and were fully bi-lingual (Spanish-English), which is... More

I was only able to stay in medilline for a few days but if I could I would have stayed at least a week at The Wandering Paisa. The hostel is well kept and run by a friendly staff who all speak English (plus a few other languages !) Its got a great lounge and a friendly bar on sight... More

Pretty cool hostel. When I was there, we saw problems with bathroom flooding and toilet paper re-stocking, I think because of some lame guests; these didn't seem to be regular problems. Cool bar with house beers. Don't get the caipirinha and I also suggest avoiding the salsa lessons. Two things stood out about this place. The staff is exceptional; extremely... More

one of the very few hostels outside of the poblado neighboorhood. I live close from the hostel and Ive been there a couple times to the free salsa lessons or to the language exchange night. The area is a nice place to be in medellin.The owners seemed cool

This place is great for backpackers, have an excellent facilities, is very cheap for foreigners and have an excellent attention. The karaoke shows, the language nights and the salsa course have been an excellent idea. I personally recommend this Hostel to anyone who want to share with other people and have a great time. Thanks Milles for the stay, and... More
