Everything is brand new, it’s super nice. great ac, great beds and showers. it’s far from the centro histórico though, this was fine for me since I stayed there awhile before. you can get a ride on inDrive app for about 20k pesos. it’s around 40 mins depending on traffic. this is a different side of Cartagena that I loved. I can’t recommend this place enough for the price. seemingly safe area, amazing owner and staff, Nicolas who’s there speaks perfect English so for other travelers no worries if you can’t speak Spanish. close to two supermarkets and local discotecas and tiendas

    Location of the hostel is great, right at the historical center next to a lot of restaurants and stores. The environment at the hostel was welcoming and peaceful, the food was good, and the price was fair. The room was clean and quiet, the staff was very nice, the reception ladies and also the kitchen and cleaning ladies who were very nice and generous.

    Had a comfy 3 nights stay in a private room with AC. The hostel’s a quick 5-minute walk from the airport and just a 10-minute drive to the city center. Marbella and Ricardo, the owners, are fantastic—they really care about making your stay great. They went many extra steps to provide me with all the information I needed. The breakfast the ladies cook is delicious and I even got lucky with lunch! Big thanks for the awesome stay—I totally recommend this place!

    Such a wonderful team managing the hostal. I really liked the atmosphere, the fact that there is a co-working area, the backyard is nice and cozy, and there is pretty much anything you'd need. I also like the fact that you get the option to choose between a private room and a bed in a shared space, which is, nevertheless, very well privatized. To sum it all up, great location, great vibes!

    Nice and chill hostel in a quiet neighbourhood just near by the beach and close to city center. I stayed here a couple of nights with my husband and my 2 kids and we had a nice and enjoyable time. The room was perfect for us, it had a double bed and a twin bunk bed, which we appreciated with the kids. The room has aircon and has it's own key. The staff was lovely and helpful and the other guests were very chill and quiet by the time we were there.

    Great location - very quiet & peaceful, easy to walk everywhere. The facilities were also nice - the shared bathroom was spacious, had plenty of soap and a hand towel to use. The rooms had air conditioning which is necessary for Cartagena since the hostel too gets very warm during the day.

    We loved this hostel! It’s in a great location - outside the main old city, so quieter but still walking distance to everywhere. The staff were lovely and helpful. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked. Our room was very comfortable with a huge tv and aircon. And good value for money. It wasn’t very social when we were there which worked for us as we wanted to relax but just to note for solo travellers

    All the staff is very kind! Ricardo is a great host, he is welcoming, attentive and helpful! We really enjoyed meeting him, his family, pets and staff! It is a simple yet charming place mostly for the ambiance created by the people! It is really close to the airport, but not too noisy. The old center and Getsemani are around 15 minutes by car, which is great. I would go back and recommand, you will feel welcomed and at ease when arriving in Carthagena, especially for young women!
