Austriawe loved our stay at Life is good. the hospitality was amazing. the facilities were very nice. felt like more of a boutique hotel than a hostel. the location was perfect for walking to the Walled City and around Getsemani

United States of AmericaWhat really made my stay great at this hostel was the amazing people working there. Edi, Alanis, (sorry, I probably spell their names wrong) Jose, the two male employees that were so kind while helping me with my lock after I had locked myself out of it TWICE 😅🤦🏻♀️, and every employee I interacted with there made me feel at home. I am so grateful for their hospitality and making me feel so comfortable during my stay in Cartagena!

CanadaLocated in Getsumane, such a vibrant neighborhood. Beds were very comfortable and sturdy, and privacy curtain was helpful. each bed has electric port and light. and this hostel has AC! staff here are so warm and friendly, and the breakfast was exceptional. I was expecting maybe some toast with jam, something simple, but each morning they had different specials and recommendations. it was delicious.

United States of AmericaThe staff was INCREDIBLE. As a solo lady traveler this place felt so safe, welcoming and full of good energy. I want to especially say that Oscar at the front desk was amazing!
Andrea

United States of AmericaSuper clean and comfortable beds. AC is at your control so nice to have a cool room to rest in during the day. Wifi worked great in the rooms and rooftop. Free water from a cooler was definitely a plus and the complimentary deserts. Had a nice place to work as well.
