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

I was really impressed by the design of this hostel. All the space was well used and it was amazing to see so many guests stayed in the same big room but each had their own privacy. The kitchen and dining room was small and we had to take turns to have breakfast, but generally it was good. There's even a small Jacuzzi in the courtyard and it's kind of good to enjoy it for a while in the hot night.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

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

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

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

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

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.

Grande e Silencioso

Nem parece que na saleta haviam mais de 20 camas. Todas com persiana pata provacidade , confortavel e silencioso se preza por silencio apos as 22hs. Decoração encantadora. Banheiros limpos. Chuveiro agua fria. Bom colchão. Tinha locker para mala e um nicho com cadeado para coisas pequenas na cabeceira da cama. Muito bem localizado. Outros amigos em outros hosteis ficaram com inveja.
