No real explanation about the breakfast, I tried to ask (in Spanish) but the lady kind of gave me a weird look. Half of the bathrooms were out of toilet paper most of the time. People are not really respectful of the noise level regardless of the time of day

Me gustó mucho su decoración, la limpieza en las habitaciones y la ubicación. Hay algunos espacios y elementos que se están deteriorando los cuales necesitan mantenimiento, igual que la limpieza de baños necesita un poco más de atención. Ofrecer productos básicos como jabón de cuerpo y de manos sería muy importante así como las toallas de cuerpo tambien. En cuanto al servicio podría mejorar una bienvenida un poco más informativa como si hay zona de secado, a que hora se apagan las luces completamente, que supermercados o droguerías cercanas hay, si alquilan toallas,si hay servicio de lavandería y en general todos los servicios que ofrece el lugar etc ya que en un punto se vuelve un poco penoso estar preguntando y preguntando por cada duda. Sin embargo resaltó que el personal fue muy amable.

Fairly decent hostel. Every night till 1-2am Very very noisy and no control even after making complaint. Noise never left during sleeping. Woke up drenched in sweat every night. I dont know what time or why they turn the ac off. Brutally hot 3am-7pm. Area around people are incredibly annoying and you cant wake 5 steps without being accosted. Cold showers felt ok during hot days. No hot showers. 2 out of 5 stars

Parfait hostal au coeur du centre historique.

J'ai beaucoup aimé mon séjour à l'hostal, il n'y avait aucun irritant, tout fonctionne bien, les drains, la pression et la tièdeur de l'eau de la douche, la grandeur des salles de bain. Le lit était confo, l'espace intime avec des prises de courant. J'ai apprécié aussi l'endroit pour fumer. L'hostal est parfaitement bien situé au coeur du vieux Cartagène. Décoration très belle. J'y retournerais. La seule chose est qu'on ne m'a pas donné de couverture la 1re nuit, alors qu'avec la clim il vient qu'à faire froid la nuit. Un oublie je suppose.

Disliked: Staff & service
Unfortunately, when you get a private room, you don't get use of the wifi. The network is not even available in your room, they tell you to come downstairs to use it. So i spent a lot of time in the outdoor lobby, it was the only way i was able to work and plan. I also didn't have access to the breakfasts they have going on in the mornings for those staying in dorms. The bathroom in my room was beautiful

A cool space and great location but unfortunately I had a few issues. The electricity and water kept going out which made it very uncomfortable in the heat of Cartagena. There were only 3 bathrooms for a very large dorm and I needed to queue for the bathroom (when the water/electricity was working). I chose to move to a different hostel because I was so uncomfortable and requested a refund for the second night. This was denied because at the time of asking the electricity and water were on and they didn't see what the problem was.

Uncomfortable stay, wouldn't recommend

Hostel is in a really central location in the old town. We stayed one night here in a double in a dorm, however it was a very uncomfortable stay, the bed was up 3 sets of narrow stairs in the main dorm room so it was a pain carrying bags up, going to bathroom etc. The bed was so uncomfortable, mattress was on a slant, creaky - we both woke up the next morning with sore neck and backs. The staff here unfortunately arent that pleasant or helpful and didnt speak english

Had a good stsy overall and it was good value. It was pretty loud in the dorm rooms until midnight as they play music in the social space, also my ved was next to a huge air conditioning unit. Saying that it was nice to feel a bit more privacy than a normal dorm with some of the beds up on platforms which are curtained off. A food place if you want to party as you are right in the middle of all the clubs.

The hostel itself does look good and is a comfortable stay. I was disappointed to be advised at check in that the bar/restaurant is actually in a different building down the street, and that there is actually no laundry at the hostel despite it's description. My main issue however was that whilst there is a 24hour reception, on the first night of my stay the doors to the hostel were padlocked (for security) but the receptionist went to sleep and couldn't be woken from outside the hostel. I was then stuck on the street with another of the hostel guests after midnight with nowhere safe to go being harrassed by people on the street. Thankfully after half an hour other guests from the hostel were leaving so managed to wake up reception to let us in. A terrifying first night in Columbia.
