The whole hostel is quite run down comapred to photos. Noisy bar until late (2am). Bathrooms are open so it was a bit awkward as people from the common areas can see you.

Breakfast could change a little bit through the week. They should not sell drinks on glass near the pool.
This hostel is so unique. The architecture, the rooms and the pool. So nice. I'm sure it is the best place for money in Cartagena.

Room too loud! We booked a double room that was directly next to the speakers of the bar, the music was on until 1:30 and then started again at 7:30 in the morning. I understand that it is an hostel and people wants to party but putting the music at 7:30 it's a bit too early if you want to sleep! Breakfast was really limited and small for the price of the room (no juice, only one slice of pineapple to go with the pancakes...)

The breakfast was okay, staff friendly, other than the shared bathrooms also clean, but our room (a private one) was extremely simple for the price with zero place to put stuff like clothes for example. Literally only a bed in a small room. And it was quite noisy the entire time (due to the bathroom, that was next door and party prior just chatting people). Would chose another hostel with a better price-and what you get for it ratio
Beautifully hostel, friendly staff, great rooftop.

“beautiful but not good value for $”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in Dormitory Room

For what they charge one expects some minimum things: AC working throughout the day, wifi strong enough to be used from your bed, a water filter/dispenser.... found none of these :( Having an AC schedule is normal in cheap hostels with ceiling fans, but this is not a cheap place and (more important ) there's no fans in the dorm.
The place looks beautiful, dorm beds are comfty. The girl working in the reception was super professional (all of them seem to speak several languages fluently)

I've slept in dorms for 12 people before, but the rooms were never as small as these which resulted in a very crowded dorm where you will wake up every 1 or 2 hours. The personnel was not engaged with the guests and only sat around the bar drinking by themselves.
The hostel by itself is really beautiful and has a great pool
