The breakfast was great and the staff were very knowledgeable. Our room was very close to the outdoor bar areas so on some nights when we wanted to go to bed early it was a bit more difficult, however they do shut the music off at 12AM, so its not a huge issue.

- the bathrooms and showers could be cleaner - if you want guests over in your private room, you have to pay extra
+ good location in the old town of Cartagena + best part were the activities organized by the hostel (shout out to Bea!!!). They offer different dance classes on weekday and events on the weekends (beach day, party etc.). The highlight was a dayparty in the middle of the food market of Cartagena. The activities are a good opportunity to meet other people.

Definitely a nice and well organized place in San Diego /historic center and a good deal concerning the costs.

“Ups and Downs ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 6 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
At first I was placed in "the annex" - another building down the street. Do not accept a room in this building - it is twice as loud as the main building due to street noise ALL NIGHT, there are no people socializing and there are no staff or services (for example, if you needed water in the night you'd have to get up, get dressed and walk down the street to the other building!). The bathroom cleaning logs for this building were not accurate - at 16:00 the boxes for 17:00, 18:00 and 19:00 would already be checked off. Clearly there is no oversight. Things improved in the main building, although I would say it was probably the loudest hostel I've ever stayed in. It would be nice if tours and activites were organized during the day, not just at night. Also, there is no hot water in the showers.
The main building is okay. My private room had AC whenever I wanted. There was never a queue for toilets or showers. Staff are friendly and helpful. It's pretty social (but there's a heavy emphasis on heavy drinking). Location is great - I walked everywhere for five days.

Everything about viajero Hostel was great for us. The breakfast, the service, the hygiene, the air conditioning in every dorm... There are two buildings very close to each other. Depending on what you are looking for you can either choose to stay at the more lively and social building, or in the quiet and private one. Ask the staff beforehand, which options you have.

If you have a room in the bar area be prepared for loud music every night. Ear plugs will not be enough! They do end promptly at midnight according to their policy.
Great and large breakfast, very helpful staff, nice location, clean. Nice areas to relax.
