What I loved the most was the great atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the opportunity to meet interesting people from all over the world. The hostel has a unique vibe and is the perfect place to relax after exploring the city while enjoying good company. The location is also a big plus, making it easy to discover the beauty of Cartagena. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone
The only thing I didn’t like was that some areas were a bit dirty, and I later found ants on my bed. However, the staff handled the situation quickly and professionally, and I was given another bed. I really appreciated their prompt response and willingness to help resolve the issue.

I had a great stay here. The location is excellent, with everything I needed nearby, and the place has a really good atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better.
My private room was spacious, comfortable, and a great place to relax. I also paid extra for breakfast, which was simple but good and a nice option to have.
Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would happily stay here again!
One downside was that the windows are a bit old and don’t block much of the street noise, so it can be somewhat noisy at times. The fan in the room was also not working. Since the room is quite large for the air conditioning unit, having a working fan would make a big difference. It would also be helpful if they provided an electric mosquito repellent.

Central location, the staff are very friendly, swimming pool clean and pretty, whole place looks gorgeous.
The showers don’t drain well. The upper bunk beds are REALLY high.

• Location is quite good, as it is right in the heart of the old town.
• Some of the staff are nice, others are quite rude or, but overall ok.
• The breakfast setup is somewhat chaotic, first day we waited 40 min to get the eggs done. Second day 32 min.
• The breakfast chicken is always packed with people "working" at the place but just talking and delaying the breakfast for costumers, because they are served first.
• Our private room was full of mosquitos and was never cleaned on spite of the various days we stayed in.
• Common areas seem always dirty and chaotic.
