The 12-room Hostal Poblado Park is a two-pearl hostel in a convenient El Poblado location, close to restaurants, bars, and the subway. Fan-cooled dorms and private rooms are clean and functional, but they're sparsely furnished and decor is unremarkable. The cheapest rooms lack windows, bathrooms are tiny, and some rooms pick up noise from parties downstairs. Simple interiors elsewhere in the property are spiced up by colorful wall murals and mismatched vintage-style wooden furniture, and there’s a sociable vibe and regular events. There’s an attractive walled garden complete with a bar, hammocks, and a ping-pong table, as well as a fully equipped communal kitchen -- but no breakfast or other meals are available. Travelers might compare rates with the Hostal Lleras Calle 8, where some rooms have air-conditioning.

With its trendy, design-oriented interiors and popular rooftop bar -- complete with a sexy aquarium-style pool and regular DJ -- this luxury boutique hotel is a mainstay for party-loving tourists. The hotel offers a wealth of on-site facilities, including Lucia Italian restaurant and a fitness center with an outdoor hot tub and a variety of fitness classes. Chic guest rooms have extra-large furnished terraces that function as living rooms, plus some have teppanyaki grills and outdoor hot tubs. The location in Medellin's nightlife district means there are plenty of dining options, bars, and art galleries nearby. Noise is unavoidable, but if you're staying at The Charlee, you're likely looking for a party. For a quieter alternative, check out the Inntu Hotel Medellin and its quiet rooftop whirlpool.

In a tranquil El Poblado neighborhood, the Hotel Poblado Boutique Express is a lower-middle-range option offering a good value. The 36 functional rooms come with air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, safes, and mini-fridges; some have balconies, iPod docks, and whirlpools -- but the cheapest are small and lack windows. There’s 24/7 front desk service, all rates include a good continental buffet breakfast (though there’s no other meal service), plus meeting facilities and free Wi-Fi are available. Nearby three-and-a-half-pearl Art Hotel Boutique is only slightly pricier, but rooms sport more design flair, and there are a restaurant and gym.

Hotel Dann Carlton Belfort is an upper-middle-range, corporate-feeling hotel in a peaceful neighborhood that’s walking distance from Medellin’s touristy El Poblado district. The 98 rooms are spacious and modern, with well-stocked minibars and pleasant views, though some are sparsely furnished, and bathrooms are a tad basic. Decor elsewhere is also attractive, if somewhat generic and a bit dated in parts. Facilities include a small, attractive outdoor pool with a hot tub, plus a Turkish bath, large fan-cooled gym, and a full-service spa. The restaurant serves good a-la-carte Italian dishes, there’s a separate bar, and the extensive free breakfast buffet is popular. There are also meeting facilities, and free Wi-Fi and parking. As an alternative, the four-and-a-half-pearl Charlee Hotels has trendier interiors and an aquarium-style pool, though rates are higher.
