Lock in a great price for Viajero Cartagena Hostel – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

I liked the convinience of the little things like the hook to dry the towel, the chargin ports on each bed, even the useful mopper, everything was thought to the minutest detail. Also the friendly attention of the staff, great!

The staff was really nice and attentive. The location was perfect walking distance to everything. The hostel had a really cool vibe and we enjoyed the music they played nightly. I also liked that they have a camera at the door and only let people in with the Viajero wristbands so my friend and I felt very safe staying here.

I traveled alone and the place was a bit quite in the morning but then i met an awesome group during a tour to playa blanca. Staff were really nice and amy their party lead was super nice and had events going on every night!

The hostel is located at a very convenient place, very close to Plaza de reloj. We were 6 of us that booked the full room of 8 for privacy, which worked well. In the patio there are constantly events happening, Latin music and good vibes. They arranged us the transport from Cartagena to Santa Marta which picked us at the door of the hostel.

The staff was amazing! They were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hostel is a great size - you are able to be quite social without being overwhelmed by the amount of people

Good area within the walled city and close to good restaurants. The one helpful front desk guy that helped me get a taxi last minute was kind and helpful.

Tyler

The breakfast was great and plentiful. The location of these hostels (the private rooms are in a separate building) are great in the middle of the old city center. The happy hour drink specials are great! The air conditioning worked great!

Only cold water but so hot here I wouldn’t want a warm shower!
Great location and layout with a long corridor and dorms off it so you don’t hear any traffic noise. Beds and clean and comfortable and each has a charger and reading light. I liked that each person has a safe for valuables as well as a locker for backpack. Breakfast isn’t provided unless paid for but it’s cheap and there’s enough options. I found staff fun, friendly and helpful. Overall it’s a good vibe and staff will assist in the next stage of your journey When I went away for a few days they were happy to safety store my belongings So friendly, secure and comfortable hostel which is well located

It was quite noisy, at least the room I had. Room was dark and next to the bar and kitchen. From what I saw the dorms were better than the private room I had. I decided to leave earlier. The staff were kind to return me the cost of the nights I didn't stay.

The AC is only turned on from 6pm to 11am so when we got there at 3pm the room was very warm. If you ask they will turn on the AC for you which we did, it just took a while for us to cool down. The water in the shower could have been colder as it is really hot in Cartagena during this time.
The staff was really nice and attentive. The location was perfect walking distance to everything. The hostel had a really cool vibe and we enjoyed the music they played nightly. I also liked that they have a camera at the door and only let people in with the Viajero wristbands so my friend and I felt very safe staying here.

It’s very expensive. Not much of an atmosphere when we where there.
The hostel is located right in the centre of old square so walking distance to everything. We stayed in a private room, it’s a short stroll away from the main hostel so quiet in the night.
