Casa Kiwi Hostel Reviews

Casa Kiwi Hostel boasts excellent facilities and a great location in Medellín. There are plenty of common spaces to explore and it has a friendly atmosphere. This is not a party hostel and is more of a base from which to explore the lively Poblado neighbourhood.

The Location

The hostel is right at the heart of Medellín's trendy Poblado area and is surrounded by hipster cafés, shops, and bars. The hostel is a long taxi ride from the airport and around thirty minutes from the bus terminal by taxi. The nearest metro is a twenty-five-minute walk away and a great method to explore Medellín. Poblado is a lively neighborhood and this hostel is right by the main nightlife there. The area is quite touristy and feels safe.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms in Casa Kiwi are relatively spacious with a decent amount of floor space and lockers under the bed. The beds are comfortable and modern and have power sockets by them. The rooms are located across three floors.

The bathrooms are relatively small and there are limited ones by the larger dorms. The water pressure in the shower is ok and the water takes a while to warm up. There is not a lot of space to hang clothes.

Common Spaces

The common spaces in the hostel are one of its best features. The ground floor has a restaurant attached to the hostel, which has plenty of seating that you can use even if not eating there. There is a pool table on the ground floor, which is next to a modern, open-plan kitchen that has great facilities. The hostel does not have a bar area and most guests will head out into Poblado and the surrounding area in the evening.

There is an excellent rooftop spot that has a great view of Medellín and a very, very small swimming pool. There is a small area here where you can get drinks, but the space is not particularly lively and feels somewhat hidden.

There are party hostels in Poblado that have bars, which a lot of people staying here will go to. Casa Kiwi acts as a good base to explore the area.

Summary

Casa Kiwi is social and has an excellent layout and facilities. It's in the perfect location to explore the local area and has a very modern feel.

Location and Contact

Location

• Address: Carrera 36 Numero 7-10.
• +From the Terminal Norte bus station:
• (1) A taxi costs about $17.000 COP. Tell the driver to go to Parque Lleras and then to take Calle 7 up to the hostel. All taxi drivers in Medellin must use the Taxi Meter ('taxímetro'), so make sure they turn it on when you get into the taxi, no negotiation necessary. The starting price is COP 6.300 COP.
• (2) By Metro/Bus combination. In the Metro Station by the Terminal Norte, buy a 'Poblado Integrado' ticket: they will give you one ticket for the Metro and another for a Metro Bus. Take the Metro south to the 'El Poblado' Metro Station. Once there, catch a bus just outside the metro station that says 'Metro'. About 10 blocks later, get off at Dominos Pizza on the corner of Carrera 36 and Calle 10. Turn right and walk down Carrera 36 two blocks to Calle 7 and you will see Casa Kiwi Hostel on the left, across the street from the Exito mini-market.
• +From the Terminal Sur bus station / Olaya Herrera Local Airport:
• (1) A taxi costs about $10.000 COP. Tell the driver to go to Parque Lleras and then to take Calle 7 up to the hostel. All taxi drivers in Medellin must use the Taxi Meter ('taxímetro'), so make sure they turn it on when you get into the taxi, no negotiation necessary.
• +From the Jose Maria Cordoba International Airport:
• (1) There are safe, reliable taxies at the exit of the airport that charge a set official rate of $95.000 COP to anywhere in Medellin. Just give them the address of the hostel, and tell them that it is a few block from Parque Lleras in El Poblado, Provenza Area. Also, ask the price before you get into the taxi to make sure they won't overcharge. No negotiation necessary.
• (2) You can also take a shuttle (colectivo) from the airport to San Diego Shopping Mall. From there a taxi to Casa Kiwi is about $25.000 COP.
• If you ever have a problem with a taxi driver's price, please feel free to ask for assistance in the reception when you arrive at Casa Kiwi so we can help straighten things out.
• Happy Travels!
