Los Patios Hostel in Review
Without further ado, letâs get you connected with this beautiful country and culture.
Letâs start on the rooftop and work our way down.
Los Patios Hostel is a 5 Star Hostel in Medellin, Colombia becauseâŠ
1. In touch with nature (sustainability)
Let us just back track for a second and mention again the walls of the hostel.
You donât need to look too closely to see the wonderful way in which each wall has been cleverly designed to represent a natural landscape.
In fact, the rooms are even named after the countryâs most-loved destinations!
Los Patios takes great pride in celebrating Colombiaâs natural wonders: the mountains, jungle, oceans and plains.
So itâs only natural to expect little details such as an organic garden and free bikes to help you get around and save on fossil fuel usage.
By far the most impressive section has to be the living length of building. There are actual plants growing up the wall!
Such a clever idea, and it looks so much nicer. All we can hope is that every new building follows suit.
2. Design that does not discriminate
Itâs easy to get carried away with details when it comes to design.
But at Los Patios Hostel, weâre going to pull back and look at it from the bigger picture.
Basically, the overall design is clever because it has somehow managed to use space in a way that will entice and create a temporary home for a wide range of traveller types.
From sociable butterfly spaces, to quiet areas for that certain someone to catch up with their book.
Letâs have a quick look at the different areas:
- Recreation room
- Rooftop gym & bar
- Co-working spaces
- Hammock chill out area
- Games room (pool, ping pong)
- Meeting room
See what we mean?
As for the rooms, well, they speak for themselves.
Gorgeous mixed dorms, female dorms and a range of private options all come with super-comfy beds, privacy curtains and tons of light and space.
3. Work, uniquely
For a nice change, our âUniqueâ section is dedicated to the digital nomads out there.
When youâre on the move and working at the same time, you want to be inspired in your surroundings, right?
We know what it means to live location independent, and so does the team at Los Patios Hostel!
Their dedication co-working spaces are phenomenal.
With high speed Wifi, 24hour coffee and unique common areas to choose from, you may find the hours fly by.
Choose to plonk yourself in the basement, at the cafe, on the rooftop, amongst the books or in an organised meeting room.
If you find yourself getting restless, do some push ups in the gym and make a quick snack in the kitchen.
There are workspace plans offered to the public as well, so no doubt youâll be surrounded by other hardworking creatives.
4. How about those Fun Vibes?
Delving in to the social atmosphere of any hostel has to be our favourite part when reviewing.
The atmosphere found floating around Los Patios is one to behold – there is lots to get involved in.
To kick start your Medellin adventure, itâs a great idea to join the walking tour or bike tour of downtown.
Meet even more people at the FREE salsa lessons and other daily activities on offer.
Top tip: Just speak with the friendly staff and find out whatâs happening.
Keen to learn Spanish?
The on-site Spanish learning centre has it all. Language lessons, gastronomy experiences and art workshops to name a few.
And of course we canât forget to mention again the most obvious ways to join in the fun at Los Patios.
Grab a drink at the terrace bar, and say hello to someone in one of the chill out spaces.
There are often activities, live music and themed parties happening as well.
Easy.
5. Staff
It doesnât take much to give these guys a massive thumbs up.
Again and again travellers are taking time to mention the âsuper friendlyâ and âincredibly welcomingâ staff.
They work so hard, making sure youâre all right 24 hours of every day. Thatâs dedication.
They keep the coffee flowing 24/7, and organise some great activities to bring everyone together.
So please, do us a favour: give them a huge smile when you walk through the doors and remember to ask how their day is going!
