“Great location in neighbourhood. 10 min walk to old city. But lots of bars and street art around. AC in rooms (you'll need it). Also a mini bar so cold water is on tap. Great showers. Let us check in early!”

, New Zealand

“it has air-condition, which is quite necessary in cartagena, nice staff. it has a laundry-service”

, Switzerland

“Modern and comfortable. Very large spacious room with comfortable queen bed. Room also contained single bed. Thank goodness for the air conditioner, quite humid in Cartagena. Ensuite great, little bit dark over shower at night as there is no light above shower in the room we stayed - no big dramas though. Doors to room opened out onto a cute little balcony. If you are a light sleeper, noise from road may wake you. Didn't bother us too much, we had ear plugs. Breakfast was delicious, across the road at the sister hotel which is under construction. Staff very pleasant. Short walk about 10-15min walk to old town.”

“The location was great,it was more of a hotel than hostel, amazing value for what you pay. There's a small tiny kitchen that we used twice.”

, Israel

“I really liked the location of the property, a ten min walk to the centre and in Getsemani. The people working at the reception were really friendly. The room was extremely clean and a nice bathroom! Also breakfast was across the road in a different hotel on the terrace and was super yummy. ”
