No AC… and very loud music playing till after 1am. You can hear the music from the downstairs lounge as well as the next door nightclub. Had to keep the windows open as it was hot and again, no AC. There was also construction going on nearby that started very early in the morning around 7am, couldn’t sleep through it. At checkout, we saw the front desk offer a fan to other incoming guests but this was not advised to us at our check in. location was good though.

The location was nice but this Selina hotel is below average compared to other locations. I booked a private queen room and it didn’t have any type or cooling or heating system. And there weren’t any iiron/hair dryer in the room.

money stolen from my room in Selina!
was extremely disappointed to have money stolen from my wallet (which was inside a pouch - stored inside a back pack that was closed) from my room ! the hotel would not take responsibility of course stating they cannot verify the money was indeed stolen. besides - the beds and mattresses are extremally uncomfortable! rooms that are facing to the road - are to loud with loud noise from the road all night long. many of the rooms do not have AC - and that is not stated and you can't know if you have AC until you actually check in and get your room. big advice - only get a room in a hotel that has a safe in the room!

Super rude staff, so much that I even said hi to one and he did not even say hello. The rooms DO NOT HAVE A/C, I believe they should let people know. Also, the towels smelled disgusting. And the most shocking thing was seeing a bart tender LICK a spoon and then use it to mix a drink. I do not recommend

The Hotel is in a good area, but there is a lot of noise, inclusive from the same hotel. If you want to relax and sleep well, this is NOT a good option. I talked to the fornt desk to Isabel Dorado, and she was "not" friendly, basically sais this is what you get. The restaurant makes parties on Friday but the sound system is not well distributed, so they just put the volume the "high" they can to have fun.

Selina Medellin is not like others Selinas, rooms are dirty, window ac that barely works and I got bite for some kind of insect while sleeping ( not sure if it was bed bugs) I would never stay here again the only reason I did was because everything else was soldout.

Selina Medellin was in a good location in el poblado. The main dining and bar areas are in walking distance. The rooms are pretty clean. You have housekeeping often so the room can stay clean. The rooms can be a little small especially if you have roommates with lots of stuff, then it can get crowded. If you want to lock up personal stuff, you can take a small lock since there’s lockers in the room. It can get very loud at night since Medellin is always partying, so take ear plugs.
