The facilities are great Very comfortable beds and pillows Showers are being cleaned often Great breakfast, veeeery complete, we loved it A lot of planned activities (we didn’t participate in them but they seem fun) The staff was always willing to help The location is also amazing, close to San Diego and La Serrezuela, you’ll find a lot of restaurants around, we tried Lobo de Mar and it was great

Laura Colombia

The staff was really nice and helpful. One of them, Carlos, really accompanied us and showed us the nice places of the city, he got out of his way to help us and make us feel comfortable and we really enjoyed and had fun with his help.

Tali Israel

Everything was excellent, the best experience in hostel I ever had. The staff is very welcoming, warning people and friendly. The cleaning ladies makes delicious breakfast and cleaning the rooms every day, people from the reception are really helpful: they call taxi service, they make covid testing appointment, they have knowledge about the city and give good tips about the tours. I felt like in home!

Eriane United States of America

The staff are incredible and the facilities were always clean. Recommended if you want to visit Cartagena. The location is centric so you can easily walk for desired places.

Fabian Colombia

The place is really cool if you are looking to meet people and have fun. The common areas are beautiful and they organize fun stuff so that you can get to know each other. I arrived on Friday and for a fair extra price, they took us pub crawling.

Carlos Spain

staff was great, very talkative, clean spaces and nice breakfast.

Juan Colombia

It is right in the historical city center, walking distance to the piers, in a nice old building. The room was comfortable; it is a hostel, so with shared bathrooms/showers, but they are plentiful and clean, no issues whatsoever. Nice staff, English spoken. International crowd. A bar on site.

Sergey United States of America

Location in the historic center makes it easy to access the main tourist places, I really liked the common spaces I had to work and found everything I needed.

Laura Colombia

Great Location and good looking place to stay! Would stay here again.
