It's a perfect location. The wooden beds are very good and the stuff very friendly. They serve breakfast with love and look that everything is clean. There was a rooftop. Not finish jet too sit but a place for yoga in peace and quiet in the morning. They don't have lockers but you could give them things to store in the safe. I liked it a lot. Thanks to the stuff 😊

This hostel is right in the center where it all happens. The cabins are huge. You can put all your stuff inside the cabin where you sleep in, and still you have enough space left. The rooms were clean. The rooftop is a big plus, and the pizza restaurant downstairs is amazing! This is better than a fancy hotel. Don't look further!

Well located and the gap between the bunk beds is of concrete. Which gives more privacy and less disturbance. Being in historic centre almost every tourist places are in walking distance.

Everything! The room exceeded our expectations. Spacious, with a wonderful balcony and view to one of the many beautiful and colourful Cartagena streets, private bathroom in perfect conditions, and (always a nice detail for me) a full body mirror. The location is just what you want. Especially after visiting the popular Boca Grande area, we realized how much better it is to stay in the historic center of the city. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. And breakfast was always tasty and adequate.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Best hostel we’ve ever stayed in, great location, lovely homely atmosphere but no 1 is the staff they are the best SO helpful and accommodating! Massive shout out to the wonderful Jorge who owns/runs the hostel who is truly one of the nicest people we’ve ever met and really made our stay in Cartagena as he gave us the best advice and really looked out for us, ensuring we had the best time.

This is probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at many. The location is amazing, the staff is lovely, the dorms are great and well equipped (curtains on beds, AC, own power plug and light by bed, locker), there are social areas to hang out, the breakfast is great and there is someone at reception 24/7, so it's very safe. There's even a Netflix room. And the cats are sweet. I was even able to use the pool and shower before check-in, as I arrived early.
