Casa Kiwi Hostel has just undergone a massive remodel from the ground up. We now feature:
A roof-top pool terrace at tree-canopy height with spectacular views, a two-story open-air hammock area, another terrace on the 1st floor with bar service and the creek running by, a mini-theatre with a big-screen HDTV and satellite reception, a computer room with 4 flat-screen computers and high-speed internet, Free WI-FI, a large kitchen with all new appliances and a granite counter-top, hardwood floors in all of the bedrooms, and last but not least a pool-table lounge where you can listen to varied world-music and where we occasionally showcase local live music.
Directions
From the Terminal Norte bus station:
A taxi costs about $12.000 COP. Tell the driver to go to Parque Lleras and then to take Calle 7 up to the hostel. All taxi drivers in Medellin must use the Taxi Meter, so make sure they turn it on when you get into the taxi.
By Metro/Bus combination. In the Metro Station by the Terminal Norte, buy a "Poblado Integrado" ticket: one ticket for the Metro and another for a Metro Bus. Take the Metro south to the El Poblado Metro Station. Once there, catch a bus that says "Metro". Get off at Dominoes Pizza on Carrera 36. Walk down Carrera 36 to Calle 7 and you will see Casa Kiwi Hostel on the left.
From the Terminal Sur bus station/Olaya Herrera Local Airport:
A taxi costs about $6.000 COP. Tell the driver to go to Parque Lleras and then to take Calle 7 up to the hostel. All taxi drivers in Medellin must use the Taxi Meter, so make sure they turn it on when you get into the taxi.
From the Jose Maria Cordoba International Airport:
There are safe, reliable taxies at the exit of the airport that charge about $54.000 COP to the hostel. Just give them the address of the hostel, and tell them that it is a few block from Parque Lleras in El Poblado. Also ask the price before you get into the taxi to make sure they won't overcharge.
