United Kingdom“Perfect for late night flight or going to the airport. Maribel and Luz were so friendly welcoming us into their home and the breakfast was great. Thank you!”
Andreas
Austria“The hostal staff was very friendly and supportive. The communication upfront, during and after our stay was exceptional. The airport is in walking distance, but it is still not loud. Downtown Cartagena is 15 to 20 minutes taxi drive.”
