About
Yellow House Hostel - Medellin
Yellow House Hostel sits in La Floresta, a residential pocket of Medellin that guests repeatedly describe as safe and calm. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Atanasio Girardot Sports Complex, and roughly 10 minutes by car from Botero Plaza. The nearest metro stop is close enough to reach on foot, which makes exploring the city straightforward without relying on taxis.
The hostel is intentionally small, with a handful of private rooms and shared dorms. There's a garden, a hammock, a shared kitchen, and a TV lounge – the kind of setup that encourages slow mornings and easy conversation. Breakfast is included, and the staff are consistently praised for being helpful, patient, and genuinely welcoming, often going out of their way to help with things like metro cards and laundry.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast is basic — While included, the breakfast is described as simple – enough to start the day, but not a spread.
- Small scale means fewer beds — The hostel is deliberately small, which keeps things quiet but also means the kitchen and fridge are shared by a limited number of guests – a small, not really a problem.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available between 13:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – the policy is clear.
