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

Full of confusion and the need to recoop. HOMEBASE Arcadia is just that. Its comfort and sense of home fills... More

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...
