Coolto Art Hostel Reviews

Coolto Art Hostel is located in El Poblado in Medellín, which is the neighborhood most popular with travelers and expats. It has a range of bars and clubs in a typical Western style.

The Location

The hostel is located right next to the main bars and clubs of El Poblado. It has a supermarket right in front and the main road is only a minute away on foot. There is also an open-space gym on the same street. From the bus station it takes about forty minutes, with fifteen minutes on the metro and twenty-five minutes walking. The airport is quite near and it takes only fifteen minutes by taxi.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel has both privates and dorms. Dorms have bunk beds and are on the first floor. The quality of the mattresses is low and many rooms don’t have any lockers, so it is a problem to lock the valuables. Also, no plugs for electricity are available, there is only one to be shared with the rest of the people. Air conditioning is not available and there is only a small fan, but Medellín is the city of eternal spring, so the temperature is fine.
The bathrooms are shared with the entire hostel and toilets and showers are together. Hot water is not always available, and there is no soap or shampoo. Cleanliness is not great and the rooms seem especially dirty and smelly.

Common Spaces

There is a common area with some sofas next to the reception, and a common kitchen that is free for use by guests. Cooking equipment is old and most of it is broken, and the kitchen is always very dirty. A good note is that a basic free breakfast is provided to guests. The vibe of the hostel is really hippie and it’s definitely a place where most of the customers smoke. It smells like that, so if you are not into smoking then this hostel might not be a good choice. There is a bar next to the hostel that plays loud music all night, and the rooms facing the street are very noisy and it is hard to sleep.

Summary

In general, this place misses cleanliness both in common areas and rooms. Mattresses should be renovated and if you travel with valuables, many rooms don’t have lockers so it is an issue. It's not recommended to those who want to sleep, because it is very noisy.
