Very professional and friendly staff. The hostel is equipped with everything you need.

Los Patios is split into two buildings. I stayed in the "Suites" building (seems to be randomly assigned). This building has the gym, rooftop pool, and seems to close down a little earlier than the "Boutique" building across the road. The staff were really friendly, the location is excellent, and the free walking tour was a nice way to meet people. Initially I was a bit worried it'd be a full blown party hostel but it seems to strike a good balance between a chill crowd and those who want to leave for clubs and continue the party. The 4 bedroom dorm was very clean, spacious, and offered lots of great amenities (privacy blind across beds, power points, a fan in case the temperature was too hot, and massive lockers to store backpacks in).

I'd heard from other guests the experience in the "Boutique" building was a bit tough due to noise issues if you were on the level below the rooftop bar. However, this isn't something I personally experienced in the "Suites" building. The only detraction for me was the length of the sleeping pods. If you're over 180cm you might need to angle yourself a little to sleep comfortably.

good location and really friendly staff. nice room and massive bed. lots of activities to pick from. good kitchen. did the free yoga which was really good. really nice view from the pool

pretty pricey. pool is quite small so if other people are in there you can’t really get in. hostel is also across two buildings which wasn’t a problem but we didn’t realise (pool was in the other building). drinks are pretty pricey and it is cheaper if you go out elsewhere

Staff are friendly and helpful. Lots of activities if you want to be social and meet people. Good location.

Unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. Expensive for what it offers. The mattress was uncomfortable, difficult to climb down from top bunk, room was very small for 8 people - everyone left their stuff all over the floor. Kitchen was okay however all the cutlery and crockery was always dirty and for a hostel so big, there weren't many tables in the common room, especially considering that they were always being used by dozens of staff sitting around all day on their laptops leaving no space to sit down and eat for the actual guests. Overpriced food/drinks in the cafe downstairs and the bar on the rooftop. Says they have swimming pool, but its not actually in the building, its in another building down the road. Perhaps not a major issue, but they should specify that when you book as you can't simply walk down to your room from the pool. Pool temperature was way too high, not enjoyable. They have a Tour Agency working in the hostal, don't book with them - they offer a tour to guatape for more than doble what other agencies offer. Also, they charge 12000$ to leave your luggage overnight. We have been travelling for 4+ months and never has a hostel charged us. Seems like Breakfast should be incluided for the price you pay. Felt like it was all a big tourist scam. Therefore, overall we were not happy with our stay here, there are better and cheaper options in the area.

a bit dirty in the rooms

I spent a few weeks at Los Patios and loved it! I'm working remotely so I wanted a place with good wifi, and coworking spaces and the pool was a bonus. There were so many activities which made it a super social place for solo travellers BUT the best were the staff! Everyone was great but I got to know Shay and Mar and they were amazing. It's clear that they really care about the guest and want you to have a good time. I'm glad I stayed for a while and got to know them!

- The beds were very solid, sturdy, and comfortable. - the location couldn’t have been better - wifi worked perfectly - rooftop area was very nice for catching some rays, swimming. - a gym! - the reception organized great tours at decent prices

- gym hours: doesn’t open until 10am. I expected it to open much earlier. - Perhaps an additional bathroom and shower or two.

Location was excellent. Very clean room and I enjoyed it even though on paper it looks "small." Balcony overlooked the city and every morning it was sunny and welcoming. Staff was exceptional; very friendly and helpful.

Had to fiddle some with the shower controls to get the temperature right, but once it was set, it was golden. The water stayed hot (sometimes even too much) and it wasn't an issue.

Loved the atmosphere and the staff. It had almost everything you need.

There was only one toilet/shower in the floor. So if someone was showering (specially if there were two people whowering in two floors, it was a task to find a toilet.

Numerous restaurants with a variety of cuisine nearby. Also a huge supermarket and the metro a short walk away. Very helpful staff, someone was always around to answer questions. It was a safe, secure environment.

It was noisy at times but the neighbourhood was usually quiet by 11.

The location was great, close to a lot of restaurants and shops. The in-house food and drinks were fantastic, and the front desk people, the bartenders, and the kitchen staff were all exceptionally nice. Will definitely be back.

I love the pool, even it’s a small one the view makes it so good. The room was clean and quiet.

Brilliant! One of the best Hostels i every stayed!

The hostel is perfectly located in Poblado but outside of the main zone. Yes it is a bit noisy but the noise is coming from the outside and that's nothing that can be helped with. The hostel provides earplugs to help with that. The room was comfy.

Nobody cleaned our room for 4 days. Even when we put the "Clean my room" sign nobody came and cleaned it (they only took out the non recyclable trash). Nobody checked if there are enough of toilet paper, shower gel etc. I know this is a hostel but we stayed in their top/prime room so I would expect them to clean/restock it. Disappointed with that.

the roof top and the tour starting from the hostel! The cafe in the hostel is really good ☺️

Great location, great drinks, well organised tours and a NYE party. Easy to meet friends and enjoy the local area of El Poblado.

Bathrooms need updating in the dorm rooms, loud at night.

Overall a really really nice spot. I think the private rooms are a pretty sweet deal and I would definitely stay in one again. Also this hostel is located in manilia a part of Poblado which makes it pretty close to all the action of Poblado.

The only things they should improve is making it clear when events will occur and having more work friendly areas with quiet space and coffee similar to how Selina’s cowork spaces are.
