This place is the perfect place to stay if you are a backpacker. I was really impressed by the friendly and helpful employees. The bar was fun and had great live music. Clean rooms with air conditioning. They even let me use the movie room to teach English lessons for a day. Awesome place.

“The staff is the best”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
A pool would have been lovely (especially with the high temperatures in Cartagena!)! The breakfast was alright, but could have been a bit more creative... maybe almond or oat milk, more fruit...
I stayed at Viajero Hostal in Cartagena while the Corona crisis started to happen. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful with arranging the trip to the airport and home. For people who got stuck in Cartagena and didn't manage to get a flight back home they offered deals, like "stay 10 nights and pay only 5". The hostel is very clean, has plenty of space to hang out and meet new people. The kitchen is large and well equipped. It is located in the heart of the old town. At night they have a little food truck where you can get a delicious falafel burger!

The AC of my room made me feel bad. It was too cold that I didn’t sleep at all there. Went to hammocks that’s was better.
The breakfast was great for 8000 Colombia’s.

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.

Uninteresting and dorms absolutely not comfortable.... air con makes you feel like in Alaska and rooms are dark, they lack lights!! Staff was adorable though, especially the guys who were always smiling and in a good positive mood.
