to get started.

Great location - easy to walk everywhere. Also very close to the docks if you take a boat tour.

Amy, Canada

I loved everything about this place. The location in Getsemani is a perfect base, everything is short walk with many lively squares close by. It's super clean, love the dorm room layout with privacy bed and large locker cabinets. Breakfast is fantastic, it's nice having a full service restaurant on the property. The rooftop jacuzzi and day beds are perfect for relaxing and socializing. The staff is the best! Jose and Manuel are my guys although I enjoyed them all. Thanks for an awesome stay! I'll be back!

Brittney, United States of America

The staff at this hostel are amazing! Truly the friendliest and most helpful staff I encountered in Colombia! The breakfast is good and the 4-bed dorms are nice and quiet. The toilets and showers are spotless (even if a bit small). Beds are comfortable and provide some privacy curtains. Great location in Getsemani, just a few steps from Plaza Trinidad and loads of great places to hang out in Cartagena. I stayed 3 times!

Darlene, Canada

Staff is extremely kind and welcoming. Cozy hostel if you are looking to relax or just enjoy a nice quiet place.

Julien, Canada

PROS: Staff was so nice, great location, SUPER clean, great FREE breakfast, rooftop was awesome. (speaking for private dbl room- can't speak for dorm rooms) Would def stay again and recommend to friends.

Demi, United States of America

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff, as well as the security and location. The owner is an awesome guy. The front desk, food/beverage, cleaning and night staff all had wonderful customer service. Before I arrived they responded quickly to all my questions.

Nikita, United States of America

The place was beautiful and a short walk to the walled-city. The staff more than exceeded our expectations. Would definitely return and recommend to all our acquaintances.

Yolanda, Colombia

Beautiful space, clean, good breakfast, away from the old town but close enough to walk.

Kimberly, Canada

The staff is the best you can find in any hostel in the world. We have never met such an amazing staff and they want to do absolutely everything for you. We stayed both in dorms and private room and they are both really good. The dorm is the best we have had so far in all the dorms we have stayed in. The rooftop jacuzzis are super super nice and even better than pools. We planned to spend 4 nights here but ended up spending 9 nights. Everyone we met was also very happy about this place. This is not a party hostel but has a good social vibe. The food is also very good. Thank you so much Diana, Gustavo and all the other amazing staff! We really miss you!

Ágúst, Iceland

The hostel was lovely. Great location, nice obliging staff who took the trouble to learn your name - a really nice touch I felt. The breakfast was great & was included. The beds were comfy and there’s a gorgeous rooftop area
