Great location, and the staff are nice and helpful. The hostel setup was a different experience. Bathrooms and showers are mixed-gender, and the outdoor-style shower feels a bit like a beachside rinse, which was unique. There’s no safe box for valuables, but they can hold your passport upon request. The dorm wasn’t very clean — not sure if the linens were washed before my stay, and there was only one power outlet. Washrooms are closed in the morning, and there’s no internet connection inside the dorms.

Nice place. Not super social in my experience but i came during low season. the bunks are the best kind but the curtains for them are basically see through. Clean bathrooms. Clean bedrooms. super cool building! there's also a local cat that hangs out around the entrance who is adorable

Cool hostel perfectly located to discover Cartagena. The curtains at the bunk bed make you relax really well and the breakfast is worth the price. I really enjoyed my stay there. They organised salsa classes and you could chill at the pool or rooftop terrace.

The hostel is in a great location, but overall, it feels overrated. If you're looking to socialize with other travelers, this might not be the best choice. While the hostel team organizes activities, they don’t actively promote them, and the staff seems unmotivated. We joined the bar crawl they organized and paid 50,000 COP, but it wasn’t worth the price. It was poorly organized, and it almost felt like the hostel team just wanted an excuse to go out partying themselves. The common areas could also be cleaner, and it's clear that the hostel needs some maintenance.

location is great, right in the centre of old town. Beds comfortable and spacious. A lot of showers & kitchen to cook as well as a bar and little pool plus lots of seating outdoors. Things to note: Kitchen facilities aren't open for guest use until 10am (I think this is ridiculous) what if people wanted to make brekky before heading out for the day? Or have a transfer and can't eat before.. just silly. Pool on the roof is dirty af. Top bunk beds though comfy are a pain in the a*se to get out of. They also close the bathrooms at like 9am for an hour or so which is SO ridiculous.. this is prime time for people to wake up and go 💩 😂 Staff on reception are friendly and helpful but rest of the staff are quite miserable.

Hostel is overrated. They cancel events and rather chill in the pool which is disrespectful. The kitchen and bathrooms are dirty. Didn't feel like people wanted to socialize. Very loud music and they close the kitchen after around 11 so you cannot access water at night or aufter going out.

Stayed in a 14-bed dorm—clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. Each bed had a fan, curtains, and the room had great AC. Bathrooms were inside and outside the room, and the showers were top-notch. Friendly staff and a nice pool made the stay even better. And nice rooftop as well! I can really recommend it!
