The room was clean, air con was perfect, breakfast
Christian and team were perfect hosts. The room was clean, air con was perfect, breakfast good and laundry was done super quickly. They were super helpful with everything. If you want to stay away from the main areas but be only a 10-15 min walk from the centre/tourist action then this is an excellent option for the price.

Liked: Cleanliness
Wir waren nur eine Nacht dort und sind leider erst abends angekommen. Die Gegend ist super gefährlich, der Taxifahrer wollte nicht mal mit uns warten, bis uns das Tor geöffnet wurde. Die Kommunikation war sehr schwierig, da kein Englisch gesprochen wurde. Das Doppelzimmer war in Ordnung.

Terrible Experiencia
No se hospeden nunca en este hostel, la atención es mala, tienes que tocar el timbre para que te abran la puerta cada vez que sales y se demoran para abrirte. Las camas son incómodas, la cocina sucia, solo te permiten tener el aire acondicionado de 8pm a 8am,no hay agua caliente, la puerta de la habitación no tiene cerradura, lo cual te genera inseguridad. El tacho de basura no tenia bolsa, no nos dieron papel higiénico.

Oplev det rigtige Cartagena
Rigtig hyggelig sted hvor du kommer til at møde de lokale. Det er kun 20 min fra byen. Her spiser du rigtig godt til 3.000 cop for en menu på gaden. Hvis du vil se det rigtige Caetagena så er det her du skal prøve at bo i et par dage
