Socialtel Medellin - Formerly Selina Medellin

I dont like

I genuinely don't understand how this hostels gets such high reviews. I booked my stay at this Selina because my first experience staying at a Selina in Guatemala was so good. However this Selina is very rundown. My friend and I were in a 12 room dorm and we're charged close to $20 a night. Our room had no air conditioning, the room looked like it had just been thrown together at the last minute, no lamp available in each bunk, the little shelves arent securely placed in the wall so you can't place anything on them without your things slipping off. The bathroom has no soap or garbage can and the rooms don't seem like there's anyone who regularly cleans them. Since my reservation was non refundable I stuck it our for 4 days and when I needed to book one more night not wanting to which hostels for one night I was charged $26! For the most basic run down accommodations. I really don't understand the pricing. Although the hostel is in a great location, the windows aren’t sealed so it’s super noisy until 4 am at weekends. It’s very much a party hostel! The co working space is nice however and large and the onsite cafe has great food and coffee. Wouldn’t recommend, as it seems like there are a lot nicer hostels in the area.

Awful service! We were placed in a room next to a storage area where furniture was being moved as early as 6 a.m. every day, making it impossible to get any sleep. Santiago, the receptionist, was unhelpful and refused to address the issue. Instead of resolving our concerns, he went as far as threatening guests who stayed at the reception while seeking a solution. Shockingly, Santiago even threatened to have us forcibly removed from the hotel simply for requesting basic service standards. Avoid this property at all costs—absolutely unacceptable!

I was a little apprehensive at first after reading some reviews, however I had the BEST time at Selina Medellin. So much so that i extended my stay and didn't want to leave. The bed was really comfortable, the views were incredible. Great events and a lovely cafe on the ground floor. The staff at the restaurant were the sweetest people. I'll be back for sure!

Terrible experience! The shared room don’t have air conditioning, it’s very small and has poor ventilation. Medellin is a hot city is and sometimes I arrived at the room and it was SMELY because I understand the people were sweating a lot at night at the room because it was REALLY HOT. Also, they didn’t clean the bathrooms on the 3 days I’ve stayed there. It’s kinda disgusting because I was sharing a room and bathroom with 7 unknown people

Selina was great. Very friendly staff with very comfortable rooms especially if you get a deluxe or suite. The best part about going to selina is the location and the access to coworking. Always service with a smile at howm. I really appreciated the staff.
