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.
