👍👍 We had a good stay in the Hostel. Facilities are all good and well mantained. Beds are comfy, and bunk beds are sturdy so it's easy to climb up and down. Lockers in the room are handy, and the highlight is for sure the swimming pool which is probably the best place to be in a HOT Cartagena afternoon... People often mention room,

    We had a good stay in the Hostel. Facilities are all good and well mantained. Beds are comfy, and bunk beds are sturdy so it's easy to climb up and down. Lockers in the room are handy, and the highlight is for sure the swimming pool which is probably the best place to be in a HOT Cartagena afternoon. Kitchen is big with all supplies you'll need to cook, and breakfast that you pay few euros for it's totally worth it. We did find the mood in the hostel more party-like and young. We usually prefer to stay in smaller and quiter places, andalthough there's a bar inside the Hostel we were not disturbed.

    Nice hostel with beautiful pool. It also has one of the best hostal breakfasts that we have experience on our long time travel. Definitely a big plus. The rooms where nice, good beds and air conditioning (which is necessary in Cartagena). Also good location to bar store and 10 walk to historical centre. Very happy with the hostel.

    There’s bed bugs and bloody sheets. The pool is also not that great and in the shade so no one really uses it. No atmosphere bcs nobody wants to spend time in such an unattractive place.

    A nice and clean place, fairly social. A few different commons areas to hang out. Wifi is okay, better outside the rooms. Also, there is A/c but at least when I went, it only came on at 6pm. Washrooms, in particular the showers, are strangely set up, I either have to hang my clothes over the top of the stall or change outside the stall where anyone can waltz in. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good too! Good location, close to the old city but also close to many restaurants.

    If the hostel decided for white bedding then it should be kept impeccably clean. Unfortunately, both my sheet and my towel had stains all over them despite they have been clearly washed before my arrival. It's located very close to the centre and walking distance to main square Santisima Trinidad of Getsemani. The rooms have AC that is switched on at night which helps with the unbereable heat of Cartagena. Staff is nice. Pool is cool addition but not so useful.

    Terrible customer service! They overbooked and could only honor half of our reservation. They had a lower class room available, but demanded that we still pay the price for the nicer room. The manage refused to come out and speak with us, so the receptionist had to relay information and handle the situation.

    Ok, if you're ever in Cartagena, you have to come to this hostel. It is beautifully designed and decorated, and so conveniently located in one of the most historic neighborhoods in Cartagena, at a walking distance from the historic center, stores, the beach, bars and nightclubs. I'm loving my comfy bed, the swimming pool, the bar, the very nice staff and the balcony view. You can get a private room or you can share a room, it doesn't matter. It's so worth it and very affordable! I love this place and will definitely come back!

    The staff is friendly and helpful. They moved me to a room with a lower bunk. The wifi is a bit slow and erratic. They set up tables out front for the evil smokers. There is a small swimming pool and a bar. There is a park across the street with an evening foodcourt. It's in a historic area with several tourist attractions.

😠 A very bad rip-off experience: My review concerns the restaurant (not the hotel). A tour from Cartagena took us to this place to eat lunch which was "included" in the price. When we arrived at the restaurant, the waiter asked us whether we wanted to eat fish, shrimps, ceviche (and some other option...
