Los Patios Hostel is at Carrera 43E No. 11-40 in Barrio Manila, a leafy corner of El Poblado that is quieter than the Lleras strip but still walkable to everything. Expedia lists nineteen room types, from shared dormitories of four beds and bunk-style rooms to private doubles, twins and king rooms with garden, city or mountain views, some with balconies. The hostel is adults-only at 18 and over, and it has an outdoor pool with a poolside bar, a rooftop terrace, a coffee shop, two restaurants, a gym, a game room, billiards, a library, coworking space, bicycle rentals and tour assistance. There is also an art gallery and gift shop on site. Breakfast with local cuisine is available for a small extra fee, served in the morning, and the 24-hour front desk helps with check-in and tours.
Location and getting around: Parque Poblado is about five minutes on foot, Parque Lleras about ten and the Poblado Metro station about eight, which is unusually convenient for a budget stay since you can ride the Metro to Line A, the Metrocable and many tour meeting points. Taxis are inexpensive for evenings, and the front desk can arrange tours such as the Comuna 13 walk or a Guatapé day trip. The domestic airport is a five-minute drive away.
Rooms and facilities: choose a shared dorm for the lowest price and the most social experience, or a private room if you want quiet and a bathroom to yourself. The deluxe categories offer views and balconies. The pool, rooftop and game areas are the heart of the property, and they make it easy to meet other travelers. The coworking space is useful if you are working remotely, and the on-site restaurants and cafe keep costs down.
Who it suits and what to know: it is best for solo travelers, friends and couples on a budget who like a social atmosphere and are over 18. It is not designed for families with children, and as in any hostel, light sleepers should bring earplugs, especially in dorms. Pets are not allowed and the property is smoke-free. Check the room type carefully when booking, since Expedia lists several Los Patios properties in Colombia, and confirm that your reservation is for the Barrio Manila location in Medellín.
