Casa Kiwi blurs the boundaries between traditional concepts of hostels and hotels in Medellín.
Casi Kiwi attracts travellers on a budget by day who seek sophisticated and comfortable accommodation by night. Indeed, these ‘flashpackers’ are more likely to travel with an IPad or laptop than a mosquito net.
Traditionalists will argue that the romance has been taken out of backpacking and that with so much to do on the inside, Casa Kiwi possesses a Hotel California complexion where travellers rarely leave the premises.
But, travel philosophy aside, Casa Kiwi has significantly raised the bar in cheap accommodation standards while remaining one of the cheapest hostels in El Poblado.
