Beautiful hostel about a 10 minute walk away from the center of the old fortified walled city of Cartagena. This place has a nice ambiance with really friendly staff that treat you really nice. Some people might think of the area as a little scummy, but I did not have any problems and even walking home at 1am, I had some locals shout at me "welcome to Cartagena" I thought this was nice. I would recommend this hostel.

Room smelled like urine and poor construction of building. Could hear every step upstairs and even them flushing the toilet and showering. Ceiling was dropping wood particles on the bed and they did nothing about it.

My mom and I stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel itself was beautiful and In a great location. Walking distance to the old city and castle. Our room was clean and really nice. However the hotel staff were not the friendliest. They gave us anything we needed a towel, toilet paper, wifi password, etc., but they weren't friendly. We didn't even get a hello when we walked in.

Nice hostel but not very comfortable
Hostel courtyard looks great but actually the pool is very small, only really big enough to cool off in not to swim in. The rooms are decorated well and look stylish but unfortunately we had to move from our first ground floor room because something was falling down from the ceiling and leaving dust / dirt all over the bed. In our second room we had a lizard for company.. Location is good but it was very quiet, likely because we went in shoulder season but if you want a party / sociable hostel I would probably suggest elsewhere..

Disappointed
Unfortunately the doors into the room where not secure. Also the vents in the doors allowed mozzies into the room. We got savaged with bites that night. No water in the shower the day we stayed. Sink looked really grubby but that may have been the desired look. The room was huge. Air con worked well. The communal spaces outside seemed lovely and well maintained. Great location. However, Checked out early as didn't want to be covered in mozzie bites.

A noisy hotel in a nice colonial house
I had a very nice stay in this same house about four years ago, when it had a different name, and that's why I came back. The hotel is not very expensive (but not cheap), the house is beautiful and the neighbourhood has character. This time they gave me the room on the back, first floor in front of the patio and it was not pleasant at all. The room has no windows and your can hear all the music from the patio, then the TV and at 2 am people coming from a party who stayed for about two hours in the patio making too much noise. So if you want to go partying and arrive to the hotel at about 2 am, it might be fine. In my case, I was tired coming from the film festival at 9 pm and was not able to have a good night rest.

Awesome HOSTEL in central part of Getsemani
I loved this hostel. I was so surprised with how cheap it was for the location and amenities. There is a beautiful courtyard with a bar that also serves some food. Many guests were lounging in the courtyard, so it was easy to make friends. There is a beautiful rooftop patio that overlooks the city. The staff was GREAT! I highly recommend this place. Of course it is a hostel, so dormitory style bunk beds and all that. Great for young people on a budget.

Accueil mitigé par la gérante :nous avions réservé et payé d’avance 2 chambres pour 3 nuits,or elle n’a plus de place pour la 3ème nuit! Elle propose une nuit dans un autre hôtel de standing inférieur,après négociations de plus d’une heure (quelle perte de temps!!) elle trouve un meilleur hôtel et offre une expédition. Sinon l’hôtel est un lieu splendide avec patio, terrasse avec vue sur Cartagena ,chambres ultra confortables, le quartier est très agréable
