I stayed in Palm Tree in 2007 and 2013 and quality of the service is nothing but superb. Location of the hostel is the main reason why I stayed in this hostel. Being 5 minutes walking distance to metro station made easier to access to whole city. During the day I could venture in to city by walking ( 20... More

“Stay here.”

Reviewed March 31, 2013

Very well run hostel, great friendly staff, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, close to supermarket, bars, and the Suramericana metro station. Fun, sociable atmosphere. Would definitely recommend this place over any other in Medellin. The owner and staff often hang out and invite guests to drink with them, which was a great experience as well.

The place is super clean and has all you need to make your stay enjoyable. Great location to visit the city and close to the metro. Great terrasse and... More

“The perfect second home”

Reviewed March 18, 2013

This place just makes you feel like you´re at home. The staff is the most friendly in Colombia and the place is spotless, has a great kitchen, amazing hot showers and free breakfast. It is a sociable place where you can enjoy barbeques, beer and rum, but the party continues elsewhere after 11.30 PM, so it´s a perfect for people... More

“Very well organised - solid choice”

Reviewed March 12, 2013

We stayed here for 6 nights. Medellin is an expensive town for hostels (we found Bogota cheaper). Palm Tree advertises itself as the original hostel and it shows in its organisation as its very well run. The lovely Luz who works here and makes sure everything is tidy and in working order is probably the nicest person we have come... More

“Great location and good vibe”

Reviewed February 25, 2013

Even though the hostel is clearly a bit worn (the kitchen needs new pans and dishes) it is a great option for those who do not want to stay near the nightlife district (Poblado). The hostel is only a few minutes from the metro station in a lively and safe neighborhood with lots of panaderias, cheap eateries, banks, and a... More

The hostel staff welcomes your opinions and we work to improve every day. Although we are the first hostel in Medellin, we are constantly renovating the kitchen utensils and doing maintenance to our facilities to better serve. Again thank you very much for your comment. More
