We had a nice stay here. The staff were really friendly, the room was clean and it was in a good location. The pool is small and missing tiles but it’s nice to have when you need to cool down

Nice convenient clean hotel. I hate how you have to wear a wristband as a hotel guest. It’s in all my pictures. Breakfast is good. Towels are old and dirty. Ants in my bed.

First time staying in a hostel, and overall the experience was great! Never thought I would stay in a hostel. The lights did go out a couple times while I was in the the shower, and on my last day I saw one roach. Very minor but again cool stay

This place wasn’t 5 star living but I would definitely stay here again based off value. Pizza spot in the lobby was absolutely amazing. Probably some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Only thing is it’s a hostel so you need to take a shower sooner than later to still have hot water.

Very historical, unique property. Good staff and restaurant, nice rooftop bar, free breakfast, convenient central location, modern air conditioning but a 224 year old building does show its age.

Great location and a beautiful hostel. The only things I didn’t like is that there were only 2 bathrooms per dorm and 1 toilet didn’t have a toilet seat

Location and price is amazing. Pizza parlor at the bottom is great, but this is not a clean hostel. We stayed in a private room and it had mold everywhere due to the air conditioner.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Included breakfast was simple but good/fresh. Property was in the middle of all the action. Room is quite warm during the day before the air-conditioning is turned on in the evening. Pictures on the site look a lot more vibrant than what you will see in person.
Curtis

I had a private room and they were nice and clean. No hot water, only luke warm. The room is clean and comfy. The hostel can be pretty noisy and the street noise as well. Otherwise it was convenient to walk everywhere you should want to go in Cartagena.

They charge for everything, get a hotel if you are looking into getting their private rooms.
