Palm Tree Hostel Reviews

Palm Tree Hostal is a nice enough place to stay and there are a few perks despite the building being fairly old and in need of some repairs.

The Location

On a quiet and non-touristy area of Medellín, you will find the Palm Tree Hostel, down a quiet side street. It is right next door to the massive supermarket containing anything and everything you may need during your stay, and only a five-minute walk down to the nearest train station to get around the city.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms here are quite open and spacious. They have rooms on both the bottom floor and up the stairs on the second floor. The beds are comfortable to sleep in, though sometimes the sheets can be quite thin and you might need a blanket if it gets cold.

There are multiple bathrooms around the hostel that are combined toilet and shower. They are kept well cleaned, however they are quite rundown. All of the showerheads in the hostel have been taped back together and instead of being a spray, it is more like a hose pouring water out in random places from the showerheads. On the plus side, there is hot water.

Common Spaces

There is a communal kitchen that is quite well equipped to cook a decent meal in the centre of the hotel. They also have an indoor dining area with a large table and chairs. There is a free breakfast in the morning and you get to choose between two options. Outside, there are also tables and chairs, hammocks, and stools; it is a really relaxed place to hang out. They have alcohol for sale from the fridge, so you can hang out and have a few drinks without having to leave the hostel. Upstairs, there is also a small terrace area with a table and chair to sit and enjoy some sun.

Summary

There is twenty-four-hour staffing, so you can arrive at the hostel at any time and be let in. There is a security gate with a lock, so you have to be buzzed in by a staff member every time you come back to the hostel from being out and about. They also have small lockers in the reception area for locking up valuables if you can provide your own lock. This is a good hostel to stay in during your time in Medellín if you are looking for a relaxed place to stay in a not-so-touristy neighbourhood, so you can get more of a local feel for things.
