    As a solo traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better hostel than Purple Monkey. The staff were incredibly welcoming, especially the front desk guy who had a great personality and was always willing to help. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, with one of the best showers I've had in a long time. The location was perfect, and the rooftop bar added to the lively atmosphere. Plus, the free breakfast was a nice touch. I'll definitely be staying here again.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

    We stayed at this hostel and had an amazing time! The location is perfect for exploring the city, as it is close to the metro station and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms were spacious and the bathrooms were clean with hot showers. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do in the area. They even had a bar in the evenings and hang out zones to socialize with other guests. The breakfast provided was basic but you could make it yourself with eggs, bread, and fruit. The only downside was that the knives in the hostel were blunt, but that's a minor inconvenience. we would definitely stay here again!

    I had an amazing time at Purple Monkey! the location was perfect, close to the metro and bustling nightlife. the hostel organized fun pub crawls with free shots and competitions. the staff were friendly and helpful, and the hostel was clean and well-maintained. the dorms were comfortable and not overcrowded. I would definitely recommend Purple Monkey for a great atmosphere and a good night's sleep. Cons: Nothing that I didn't like 😊.

    I had a great stay at the hostel. the cleanliness was impressive, and I loved the rooftop chill area. the beds were comfortable, and the staff was fantastic. the location was perfect, with excellent restaurants nearby, especially Olivia. If you're into nightlife, there's a lively area with bars and clubs within walking distance or a short, cheap taxi ride away. Plus, there's a Spanish school right next door. the hostel had a great vibe, and I highly recommend it.

    I didn't have any negative experiences or dislikes about the property. 👍.

    Had a great Xmas stay in a hostel with friendly staff and good vibes. Loved the DIY breakfast with plenty of ingredients to choose from. Convenient location near restaurants, party area, supermarket, and train station.

    The dorms lacked privacy with no curtains on the windows. Some showers needed maintenance and the beds could be more comfortable.

    Great value for money, the room was comfortable and clean with good facilities. The location was convenient, close to restaurants, supermarkets, and public transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    Breakfast delights: The breakfast could be improved by offering a wider variety of options.

    I had some reservations about the outdoor showers, but they turned out to be surprisingly comfortable with hot water. Breakfast can get crowded, but considering the affordable price and the other amenities, it's still worth staying here. The location is great, just a short walk from the El Poblado station, and the hostel is clean and well-maintained. The dorms are not overcrowded and the atmosphere is friendly. I would recommend this hostel.

    We had a great time at this hostel! The atmosphere was super social and friendly, making it easy to meet new people and go out together. The location was also perfect, close to the metro, restaurants and a supermarket, which made it convenient for us to explore the area. The staff were amazing, always helpful and gave us a nice tour when we arrived.

    There were a few negative aspects to our stay. The room we were in felt small and dark, with no window and a noisy fan.

    We had an amazing stay at this hostel! The staff was super friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hostel was incredibly clean, thanks to the constant cleaning done throughout the day. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The rooftop area was a great place to socialize, although it could get a bit too lively at times. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the metro station, making it easy to explore the city.

    Nothing, all aspects of our stay were excellent.

    Excellent location near train station and restaurants. Quiet street for a good night's sleep. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and well-maintained with enough information on things to do. Not overcrowded dorms. Great breakfast, space for socializing, and comfortable beds. Communal facilities like kitchen and computers. Helpful activity information at reception.

    The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The location was great, with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. I also enjoyed the rooftop area, it was a nice place to relax and hang out.

    There was only one fan in the room for six people, so it got quite warm at night. Another downside was that there wasn't much of a social atmosphere in the hostel, which made it difficult to meet new people and make friends.
