I've been here for almost a full month so I can tell you all about it. Dorms are 30000 for 8 bed, 34000 for 4 bed, almost always discounted on booking.com a few days in advance so much better to book online
I highly recommend paying a bit more for the 4 bed dorm, because ventilation and storage space is much better. Private rooms are 65000 or 85000 depending on which ones you get. Kitchen is great and well equipped, WiFi is good, decent shared seating areas and the place is spotless. Bathrooms can be a bit busy in the mornings. Gated parking for motorbikes or 1 normal size car (some shuffling would be needed for a car due to bikes). Laundry service onsite for 9000/kg, a bit more expensive than Stinky's in El Poblado. Short walking distance to Jumbo and Carulla grocery stores, or the Aguacatala metro station. Quiet, affluent neighbourhood. Not a party hostel but beer and marijuana are not questioned. They ARE pet friendly, just ask in advance.

No updates here in a while so just checking in to reassure potential guests it is still here and as described in other posts. Great kitchen, great wifi, restaurant next door gives discounts to guests and is a nice Italian style pizzeria (unlike the gross comida rápida pizza you find all over Colombia). Secure parking for motorcycles.
Only complaint is there are not enough bathrooms when they are at capacity. On a weekend there could be up to 30ish guests here sharing 2 hot showers. Mostly backpackers here but not a party place. If you're chill about it and not throwing parties they don't enforce the "no outside alcohol" rule

A warning for anyone interested in staying at this hostel. Prior to booking a room we asked the hostel about any height restrictions for the secure parking spot. They said there was none. Guess what - there is, and we (Landcruiser + rtt) didn’t fit. We wanted to cancel the booking, but they insisted we had to pay one night cancellation fee. We refused, and they called the police on us. Not a pleasant experience, and we had to find a new place to stay in the dark.

The place is overpriced. The cheapest option is 8 bed dorm for 27k on weekdays (30k on weekend). No discounts on longer terms, outside alcohol is prohibited (and here it costs 4000 for a club colombia), no power sockets near the beds... For 32k you can rent a nice room on airbnb, in condominium with a parking, laundry included.

Really great place, I spent 10 day in this hostel, they have place to securely park maybe 6 big motorcycles. Big place with a lot of common areas, very clean and with a huge kitchen. the breakfast is included, but you have to cook by yourself, they leave tons of eggs, bread, fruits, coffee, milk... you can take all you want to cook. The dorms are of 6 or 8 beds, some dorms have private bathroom, others share with another room. Nice terrace on the back. The most important, this hostel is in the best and secure area of Medellin, near to markets and metro station, and is the only one without a party 24/7 inside, of you want a place to rest, is this!!! Prices from 29.000 to 35.000

This is probably one of the nicest hostels I've stayed in. The staff is super helpful and seems to have a really good customer base as well. It's got a side gate to park your moto and is a block away from a large grocery store and about 2k (walkable) to bars/restaurants in Patio Bonita / Poblado area.

Really nice hostel! Absolutely spotless, good hot shower, great kitchen, lovely spaces to hang out and a nice atmosphere. Parked our bike in the back yard behind a locked gate. Paid about 25,000 for a dorm bed, including breakfast.
