The walls in the bathroom have been covered in mastik, I don’t know if it wasn’t dry or if it needed to set but it came off on your hands and belongings and was very hard to get off… and the shower was cold although they embrace it.

Incredible location, right in the centre of Cartagena! Bed was comfortable and breakfast great!

The aircon in dorm was freezing, I used 2 blankets and still was cold.

Comfy beds, blinds for privacy, good breakfast and amazing location in historic centre.

No hot water, but what I heard it’s same in other hostels around. Some staff do not speak any word english.

I liked that everyone had it’s private box. And was breakfast what I didn’t count on.

they have some local taxes that are not mentioned when you book it. when I did the reservation it said it included taxes and everything but they charge some more during the check in

the location is very good and the beds are comfortable. I could rest a lot. it was quiet

One of the shared bathrooms was not working which obviously increased waiting times. There was a staff member who would clean the bathrooms early hours but very loudly. Playing music on one occasion. Day staff were helpful and was quieter on my last few days.

The staff are all lovely and helpful. I can't recall names but, one lady who made breakfast most mornings who always had a smile on her face made my mornings. The location is perfect, ideal for all the main locations.

The queues to the bathroom were very long. They only had three bathrooms (not all that was working) and a downstairs toilet. I woke up at 5 a.m., and there was still a queue as only one bathroom worked. If you wanted to shower in the morning, you had to get up extra early.

The hostel itself was very cool, allowed us to check in early, and had so many amazing facilities. The hot tub, washing service (very affordable), work spaces, and kitchen was amazing. It is so central and easy to get where you need to go. The beds were really comfortable, and the bunk beds made from storage containers made you feel as if you had your own private room rather than at a hostel.

When I arrived, the guy at reception didn’t look like he’s interested at showing me around or explaining where everything is. He didn’t tell me a word about breakfast so I had to figure it out myself. I was given a towel (which was clean) and a blanket that clearly hasn’t been washed after a previous guest as it was full of hair. Disgusting. Also, there are only 3 bathrooms for so many beds so often you have to wait for a long time to use one. Plus, they need to be cleaned more often.

The ladies that make breakfast are very sweet and attentive. Location is good.

location and privacy

Stayed in February 2023

the cubicle has shade for privacy and little box on the side that u can put small belongings and secure with ur own lock, as well as bigger lockers if they are free for backpack and so; A/C during the night which makes more confortable to sleep, a bit dark the room but ok, nice staff, excellent location, simple but good breakfast include as well as a towel, also they have a local laundry service that pick up the clothes in the afternoon and brings u back the next morning for a good price

Its a bit noisy.

It's in the middle of the center so everything is close by. They literally have clocks everywhere. It's air conditioned so you can escape from the heat of the city.

needed more bathrooms per large room (had 3 for about 30 beds I think, and lines would form) could hear the club next door from about 8pm to 6/7am the next morning

great location in town

It was insanely cold at night. The put the AC on northpole mode and I was freezing even with a blanket. Very unhealthy and quite a waste of energy. Unfortunately it isn't a social hostel. Little atmosphere.

It's a very pretty hostel in a great location. It was clean and they have a kitchen.

The kitchen area is not very good and it's right next to a glass door from the dorm beds. Not big enough for accommodate people during breakfast either. Staff billed us in dollars to our card (instead of COP without asking us). We explain the receipt from the card reader says "you were given the option to paid in COP or USD" he said he cannot chose the currency, when we complain he said we should call our bank first (which is outside the country) to see what they say to only then try to fix the problem. Every other place in the country always bills the card in COP or ask you first if you want it to be billed in USD so you can accept or not. This mistake cost us 5% loss due to the bad exchange rate they use for billing the card directly in USD. The poor attitude of the staff to try to fix the mistake and just try to blame the card reader machine, then blame our bank to just get away from dealing with the mistake make it impossible for us to fix the problem in short time and still enjoy our time in town.

The room, the common areas for resting/work on top of the kitchen (quite hidden) and the location.

very noisy, nobody is quiet and there are many beds in the room, no matter what time there’s people talking loud. the breakfast is very weird as they are not talking to you or asking what you want. they just put a plate in front of you with no words, bathrooms are not enough for the amount of people and they were always dirty

comfortable beds, kitchen available

Staff. Checking in I didn't get a tour or explanation of where anything was. I didn't know until leaving that they hosted tours. I also had questions about Isla Baru and she told me I could walk to the dock to negotiate a boat ride, this is not correct and there is a window you can properly buy a ticket so you don't get ripped off. I didn't choose this as someone else told me it's easier taking a shuttle there by land. I just felt she gave me the bare minimum information rather than helping me with the experience.

Really interesting and spacious capsule dorms that have everything you need. I was staying over one night and was happy they were almost like mini rooms. They also held my bags for 2 nights for 8000/night while I was away.

Noting to complain

The room facing the street can get noisy in the night

The rooms are amazing, most comfortable beds ever... It's not bunk beds, you sleep in a comfortable mini room, where even your luggage fits in, very strong A/C

the rest of property was very humid and hot

good location, sleeping area was clean and comfortable

Sometimes long waiting times for shower and the breakfast in the morning. Everyone has to eat at one table and there’s only around 12 seats. AC was really cold some nights and also all day in the common areas.

Nice privacy whilst sleeping in the booths. Good location for exploring on foot. Always someone at reception to help you out.

I think having only 3 bathroom a bit on the short side. The shower is cold. I dont know if there was a way to turn on the warm water but I couldn´d find any.

It´s a great hostel. Cartagena is very warm and humid, and the rooms and kitchen have AC, which is a must. I stayed at the dorm. It is very organized and I enjoyed quite a bit of privacy. The bed was confortable and very clean.
